This chapter is a narrative analysis of a novel written in 1916 to prevent suicide. The writer focuses on how humans are occasionally lost in the domain of symbols in the face of repeated traumas, and how such abandonment may lead to a threatening condition when the destruction of the self seems the only viable option. The novel Szunyoghy’s Paternoster is composed of repeated redemption sequences. The work evolves around an important aspect of quantum change, epiphany, and the accompanying insights that govern such transformations. Experiencing epiphanies converts the dissociated and disorganized trauma narratives into redemption sequences. Such narrative organization is inherent in the traditional rites of transition, proceeding from the losses of separation towards the perceived stability and gains of reintegration, but only after successful personal struggles in the temporary chaos of transformative liminality.
