“As we said before, initiation lies at the core of any genuine
human life. And this is true for two reasons. The first is that any
genuine human life implies profound crises, ordeals, suffering, loss
and reconquest of self, "death and resurrection." The second is
that, whatever degree of fulfillment it may have brought him, at a
certain moment every man sees his life as a failure. This vision
does not arise from a moral judgment made on his past, but from
an obscure feeling that he has missed his vocation; that he has
betrayed the best that was in him. In such moments of total crisis,
only one hope seems to offer any issue-the hope of beginning
life over again. This means, in short, that the man undergoing such
a crisis dreams of new, regenerated life, fully realized and significant. This is something other and far more than the obscure
desire of every human soul to renew itself periodically, as the
cosmos is renewed. The hope and dream of these moments of
total crisis are to obtain a definitive and total renovatio, a renewal
capable of transmuting life. Such a renewal is the result of every
genuine religious conversion.”
― Mircea Eliade, Rites and Symbols of Initiation

“It must never be forgotten that initiatory death simultaneously
signifies the end of the "natural," noncultural man, and passage
to a new modality of existence-that of a being "born to spirit,"
that is, a being that does not live solely in an immediate reality.
Thus initiatory death forms an integral part of the mystical process
by which the novice becomes another, fashioned in accordance with
the model revealed by the Gods or the mythical Ancestors. This
is as much as to say that one becomes truly a man in proportion
as one ceases to be a natural man and resembles a Supernatural
Being.”
― Mircea Eliade, Rites and Symbols of Initiation
