What is Liminality? Guest Essay by Jasun Horsley - Kunstler
I like Kunstler's take on things. (Also really like his "World Made by Hand" series of four novels)
This isn't Kunstler, but it's on his site.
What is Liminality? It's the in-between space where we have left our old dogmas behind but haven't quite figured out what the new ones are supposed to be or even how to find them. It goes a long way to explain why society is so stressed-out lately. Imagine, you know you're cornered on top of a cliff. The old-guard has pushed you to the edge. You have to jump or die, so you jump. Now, you have to figure out how to land without dying and you have an idea that there's solid ground somewhere, but for now you're up in the clouds, spinning legs and cloud of dust, Wile E. Coyote-style. Feels about right.
