Human beings ONLY BECOME so-called 'territorial' because of, and AFTER, learned behavior. And, if ANY one of 'you' cares a great deal about boundaries, borders, and/or limits, then this is just. BECAUSE of past DISTORTED teachings and experiences, and the 'current' DISTORTED thinking. I think it's ...

Temple spaces in Archaic Greece were deliberately set at the borders between 2 poleis . Each polis would use such ritual spaces to meet their neighbouring polis , at which localities sporting contests grew. Aristotle called sport, "War without the killing". Such liminal spaces were about ...

That's interesting; what is the evidence to justify that assertion?

That was Age, you were quoting there.

Yes, I know Age said it, but I don't know how it got attributed to you. It was probably Age's fault rather than yours.

No doubt, hehe.

Cultism and Occultism inevitably leads to fragmented individualism. Because people are forced between spiritual 'Good' and 'Evil' with regard to Power. Power can be political, social, individual; it comes in many forms. The uninitiated become obsessed with basic forms of power. It is too temptuous ...

People who are not self-conscious, are 'blind' to it, no pun intended.

Yes, no doubt. It's human nature.

I cannot recall the terms referring to this concept, but every individual person, or even group of people, have a bias as to the "direction of their mind". In other words, your brain has a compulsion to "look for" something instead of other things. It's a very powerful influence...

Rabbits will often stay near boundaries between hedge or forest and field. They know that hopping into the bushes/forest presents real problems for the predator. Bright light to darker, simple vision field with separate objects to cluttered complex vision fields with darker shadows and lighter shad...

Having been on a number of archaeological digs when I was at school, and a few since, I can attest that the best finds are always found at the edge of things. Walls of buildings, property or field boundaries, even borders of ancient kingdoms, as indicated by ridgeways, for example. Some of the reas...

I get the feeling that mine are more to do with something about myself that I'm not happy with. But you're not sure what, exactly? I think it's probably my subconscious telling me I need to take more control of my life. Things just tend to happen to me, rather than my making things happen, as I dri...

Yes, there is a common theme, and they always cause the same emotional state when I wake up. I would say the dreams are mainly characterised by the sense of helplessness and lack of control they bring about. I really don't like how they leave me feeling. The dreams are no doubt based on a natural a...

I have dreams where I am late and have a lot to do, and I have to be somewhere but can't find my vehicle, which is usually a truck -I used to drive for a living- and I'm just floundering about, getting nowhere. Like you say, not nightmares, but they leave me feeling uncomfortable. I feel those drea...

Going into more detail, since this is an interesting area of exploration, my claustrophobia, although I hesitate to use that word as it's not particularly pronounced in everyday life, also manifests in dreams. I sometimes have dreams about being inside tunnels, for example. There's usually some sor...
