* Woman as Temptress (the subsequent horror--woman now represents the flesh, which must be transcended)
* At-one-ment with the Father, who is also "good" (merciful, provident) and "bad" (threatening, terrible)--initiation into the Father's office
* Apotheosis--attainment of divine state beyond ignorance: transcendence of oppositions male/female and time/eternity
* The Ultimate Boon--immortality (often depicted as inexhaustible matter, e.g., food and drink) = perfect illumination, transcendence of all being


3) Return: benefit to group/human race (selflessness)

* Refusal of the Return--again, only a possibility: if the hero wants to remain in the ecstasy of illumination
* The Magic Flight (if necessary--i.e., if there is opposition)
* Rescue from Without (if necessary)
* The Crossing of the Return Threshold--hero must "survive the impact of the world"

* Master of the Two Worlds--ability to pass back and forth between the two planes
* Freedom to Live

<<<Woman as Temptress (the subsequent horror--woman now represents the flesh, which must be transcended)>>> Did Mr Campbell not like women?

abailart, Campbell is talking about universal myth, not his own personal views.
