Hello there,

To add to the thread on invitation, You can check out Joseph Campbell,
mythologist’s, work via numerous books and web
sites including http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/smc/journey/) Stages in
The Hero’s Journey -- interesting analogy to
invitation.

Stage I. The Departure Stage

1. The call to Adventure: The call to adventure is the point
in a person's life when they are first given notice that
everything is going to change, whether they know it or not.
2. Refusal of The Call: Refusal leads to deepening of
pain/suffering. Often the hero finally decides to take the
journey after reaching a threshold of suffering.
3. Supernatural Aid: Once the hero has committed to the
quest, consciously or unconsciously, his or her guide and magical
helper appears, or becomes known.
4. The Crossing of the First Threshold: This is the point
where the person actually crosses into the field of adventure,
leaving the known limits of his or her world and venturing into
an unknown and dangerous realm where the rules and limits are not
known.

Regards,
J
