Alice invites you to the fourth stage of the hero's journey, an exercise in the katabatic imagination, to a world view of yourself as the story of your descent into your personal unconscious, the collective consciousness of your society, and the great collective unconscious , back to the origins of our species, back to the time when the human-nonhuman boundary was easily crossed, a journey repeated thousands of times each year now as people go down into a caves such as Lascaux to marvel at the depictions of animals on the cave walls, reconnecting you with the animals and all the living beings from whom you descend. I invite you to the totem animal vision quest and/or to retrace the path of Gilgamesh, Orpheus, Theseus, Jason, Heracles, Demeter, Odysseus, Aeneas, Jonah, Lazarus, Dante, Alice and many others down into the underground to discover your self , to regain something or someone you lost, to undergo a series of tests and degradations which will collapse or dissolve your old self, return you to a more primitive state so that you can be reborn, returning from the underground with new power and the knowledge of a final state of 'wholeness' or integration that connects you to all, enabling you to reach your full potential.
