A liminal space is the time between the 'what was' and the 'next.' It is a place of transition, waiting, and not knowing. - Liminal spaces are both physical and mental locations. - Physically, liminal spaces can be something like an empty city street after dark, an abandoned shopping mall, or even an old hangout that you visit after a long time. - Mentally, liminal spaces can be something like anytime you're going through major changes in your life such as moving to a new area, working at a new job for the first time, going through a breakup or a marriage, death of a loved one, graduations, etc. - Liminal spaces are often associated with unsettling feelings or negative emotions including disturbing feelings and feelings of disorientation, the invocation of terror or dread, and feelings of panic or a sensation of “wanting to leave” the area. - What say you?
In the 12th century two mysterious green children appeared in the village of Woolpit, in Suffolk, England. - The two children were brother and sister. They appeared completely normal, except for having green coloured skin. - The children spoke an unknown language, acted nervously, and wore clothe made from unfamiliar materials. Strangely, the children only ate broad beans, but eventually learned to eat other food. At which point they became normal in colouration. - Also strangely, the brother and sister were baptized, and the brother died shortly after this event (demon baby?) - The Green Children of Woolpit were documented in William of Newburgh’s “Historia rerum Anglicarum” (1189) and Ralph of Coggeshall’s “Chronicum Anglicanum” (1220). - Is this account a folktale, or a real event described in a mismatched manner?

Boötes Void is one of the largest known voids in the entire universe. It is also referred to as “The Great Nothing” and is cosmologically classified as a “super void”. - Boötes Void is nearly 330 million light-years in diameter and approximately 0.27% of the diameter of the ENTIRE observable universe. - The sheer size of this void is puzzling. Some scientists argue the existence of super voids like Boötes Void call into question the current understanding of how the universe formed. - Furthermore, some futurists have suggested that the mysterious existence of super voids may be indicative of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that could exceed the Kardashev scale (i.e., Kardashev 3+ civilizations that have the ability to harvest the energy of multiple galaxies). - What say you?
Rock Apes are a group of alleged violent “ape-like” creatures reportedly sighted multiple times during the Vietnam War, which ranged from 1955 to 1975. - Hundreds of reports of Rock Apes have been told by American GIs and local Vietnamese.

The Akashic records are a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions and intent ever to have occurred in the past, present, or future in terms of all entities and life forms, not just human. - Put another way, the Akashic records are akin to a storage database of all information and knowledge ever. - The Akashic records are alleged to exist as a form of energy field that is distributed everywhere and can be accessed by individuals by tuning their consciousness correctly. It is analogous to how Wifi is distributed broadly and can be used to access databases of information. - What say you?
Clairaudience involves an individual hearing messages from elsewhere. It is similar clairvoyance, a more well-known term, which entails receiving visionary messages from elsewhere, except that clairaudience is auditory not visual. - In spiritual communities, clairaudience is often cited as hearing voices from the after life, other dimensions, entities, divine sources, or communication with your higher-self. - In parapsychology, clairaudience is the alleged ability to hear voices or sounds beyond the normal range of hearing, including supposed paranormal messages. - In the scientific communities, clairaudience is described as a form of non-pathologized auditory hallucination. - Interestingly, approximately 13% of the world’s population reportedly hear voices, but schizophrenia has a prevalence rate of only 1%. Therefore, individuals with psychotic disorders associated with auditory hallucination make up only a mere fraction of individuals hearing auditory messages. - In other words, the phenomena of clairaudience cannot easily be explained by referencing the prevalence of psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia. - Who are these healthy voice-hearers then? Herein, we will seek to explore this question and dive into a plethora of spiritual, scientific, and parapsychological sources referencing clairaudience. - What say you?
