Now — Let’s Go Get Your Daughter.











“ I thought, 
"Where is The Mythic Heroine’s Story?" 

In Ishtar Rising, Wilson talks about the myth of Inanna, and how she goes down into Hell and has to give up •everything• of •herself• to gain the Wisdom and Experience she can 
Bring Back to Her Tribe. 

[ Which is The Story of Alice in Wonderland, actually. And, of  Star Trek : Discovery

Privileging The Network 
rather than 
The Sovereign Individual.

And so, as I thought about the differences between The Hero’s and The Heroine’s Journey, it gave me a bunch of different modes to work in. 

Finding ways to avoid telling The Boy Hero story again was quite liberating. 

It just gave me a bunch of new ideas, an interesting new way of telling stories that didn’t rely on the framework of The Hero’s Journey that Campbell talks about.”

There is no Death. 

There is only a transition 
to a different 
Sphere of Consciousness. 

Carol Anne is not like those she's with. 

She is a Living Presence 
in their Spiritual 
Earthbound plane. 

They are attracted to 
the one thing about her 
that is different 
from themselves - 
Her Life Force

It is very strong. 
It gives off its own illumination. 

It is A Light that implies 
Life and Memory 
of Love and Home 
and Earthly Pleasures,
 something they desperately desire 
but can't have anymore. 

Right now, she's the closest thing to that, and that is a terrible distraction from the real light that has finally come for them. 

You understand me?

[Diane shakes her head

These souls, who for whatever reason are not at rest, are also not aware that they have passed on. 

They're not part of Consciousness as we know it. 

They linger in a perpetual dream-state, a nightmare from which they cannot awake. 

Inside The Spectral Light is Salvation, a window to The Next Plane. 

They must pass through this membrane where friends are waiting to guide them to new destinies. 

Carol Anne must help them cross over, and she will only hear her mother's voice. 

Now... hold on to yourselves.

[brief pause] 

There's one more thing. 

A terrible presence is in there with her. 
So much rage, so much betrayal
I've never sensed anything like it. 

I don't know what hovers over This House, but it was strong enough to punch a hole into This World and take Your Daughter away from you. 

It keeps Carol Anne very close to it and away from The Spectral Light. 

It lies to her, it tells her things only a child could understand. 
It has been using her to restrain the others. 

To her, it simply 
is another child. 
To Us -- it is 
The Beast.

[long pause


Now — Let's go get 
Your Daughter.
