 There were two worlds in Patricia's life. One world where she was tested with her very Principle foundation. The other where she could gain or lose the tangible based on here reaction or truly response-ability to right doing and thinking. 

 She had a family and they all needed her assistance with material things. She had her initiate (almost hypnogogic) murky world that at first seemed something she could walk away from at any time. Her curiosities with her loss of power within her own life drew her closer, further in, to cause and effect. The more the adverse (world) seemed to always pose a moral dilemma to her very Soul the further in she'd go. She wonder about good and evil and her true reason for existence here and now.
