Taking many forms, the threshold awaits each hero attempting to bypass it as symbolized by doorways and rabbit holes in tales such as Alice in Wonderland. Indeed the hero's threshold does not confront the hero for its purpose does not mean it has to be an adversary, instead it's purpose to test the hero means it must lay in wait for them to approach.…
