Initiation

4. The Initiation-This situation refers to a moment, usually psychological, in which an individual comes
into maturity. He or she gains a new awareness into the nature of circumstances and problems and
understands his or her responsibility for trying to resolve the dilemma. Typically, a hero receives a Calling,
a message or signal that he or she must make sacrifices and become responsible for "getting involved" in
the problem. Often a hero will deny and question the calling and ultimately, in The Initiation, will accept
responsibility
