This is so spot on for me! Thank you for sharing this wonderful work. I'm just passing out of my liminal space and it's struck me that I was writing about my liminal space calling it that a month ago. I kept saying to myself I feel as though I am dying. My chart concurs. I feel vulnerable tender, eyes blinking at the bright light. Thank you for the caution and the encouragement to take a moment before sharing. In my tender state I tried that once and it didn't end well.. Much gratitude for you!

So excited to see you write on here Brian, really enjoying reading this. Liminal (and post-liminal) both felt very Piscean to me as archetypical energy. The deepest and the purest healer

Thanks for the timely guidance.

Would you elaborate on this part a bit more? 🙏

Yes, after having spiritual experiences that are irrational in nature, I encourage folks to be mindful of who they share their journey with. It can be a sensitive time and the last thing you want to do is put yourself in a position to be misunderstood.

Ah yes, I've had my fair ahare of misunderstandings. At this point I don't worry about other's opinions of me much. But I have toned down my public shares substantially

Oh thank you. For this. NOW it makes sense.

I too was certain I was dying, all the things you write about with such wonderful stability and clarity here. It was not physical death, and I knew that. But the transformation/chrysalis was not apparent until I read your words--only the strange thinning, time strangeness, falling away, of all that was familiar. "But we see these things from the wrong direction: A heap of stones instead of the face of the Sphinx." (Tomas Tranströmer.)

Please write more about the thing about other people and how to navigate.

Blessings over your work.

Dang, you put words to feelings that I haven’t been able to articulate. I have stood in this void many times and I am learning how to move forward faster. This will help immensely. Thanks for sharing!

Love this framing through van Gennep’s work. Truly, modern societies often lack mechanisms that enable this transformative spiritual work, which leads people to seek material cures for spiritual maladies. Creates so much suffering. Thanks for throwing light into this simpler, though not easier, path
