The Supernatural aid or mentor was the Old King and the Alchemist.

"Not always in this way, but I always appear in different form or another. Sometimes I appear in the form of a solution, or a good idea. At other times, at a crucial moment, I make it easier for things to happen. There are other things I do, too, but most of the time people don't realize I've done them."

At this point in the adventure, the person experiences a love that has the power and significance of the all- powerful, all-encompassing, unconditional love.

In the Alchemist the unconditional love is from a muslim woman named Fatima and he loves her very deeply.

"At that moment, it seemed to him that time stood still, and the Soul of the World surged within him. When he looked into her dark eyes and saw that her lips were dark eyes, and saw that her lips were poised between a laugh  and silence, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke. It was love."

"Ever since I was a child, I have a dreamed that the desert would bring me a wonderful present. Now, my present has arrived, and it's you."

Oftentimes the hero is reluctant to return home. Things have changed so much for the hero that home would seem quite different.

This occurs when Santiago is working with the Crystal Merchant and then he questions that if he should continue or return home.

" I'm going to go back to doing just what I did before, the boy thought. But the sheep had taught him something even more important: that there was a language in the world that everyone understood, a language the boy that everyone understood, a language the boy had used through out the time that he was trying to improve things at the shop. It was the language of the enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of things of a search for something believed in and desired. Tangier was no longer a strange city, and he felt that, just as he had conquered this place, he could conquer the world."
