Call to Adventure

The quest always begins with the hero in a state of neurotic anguish.  The call comes when the psychological forces of the mind (Id and Superego) become unblanced.

The hero can sometimes become distracted or turn his back on the call. When the happens, the adventure can turn into its opposite, and things go sour.

Along the way, the hero often encounters a helper, usually a wise old man, who gives the hero both psychological and physical weapons.

The hero eventuallu must cross into a dark underworld, where he will face evil and darkness, and thereby find true enlightenmunt, but first he/ she must get past a guardian who guards the threshold.
 

Having gotten past the threshold guardian, the heroe finds him/ herself in a place of darkness. It's a ambiguous place of fluid dream-like forms.
