Boundaries

"Otherworld personalities resemble human beings in their thinking and behavior, and they burst spontaneously into the normal world, just as human individuals are always stumbling into the Otherworld."

In group two today we recreated the bursting of otherworld personalities into the normal world. The thing about boundaries is they are meant to be crossed, but not forever, and what you do their changes you drastically. Drastically to the point where you are forever changed when you return.

Kane says boundaries are the magical points where worlds impinge.

We used children books to show the impingement. The giant rabbit hole in place of a door is showing quite different entrances. One which we (my group) can see but that you yourself must build with your own imagination, which is every bit as real a boundary so it seems.

Frames.

These boundaries we cross through act as frams for our thoughts, excluding normal human thought process.

An example is how easy crazy coffee carly was weened off of her education paradigm, sucked in by Kevin and James who were already advocates of the margaurita.

Kane Says, " epistemological frames, markers of categories of knowledge, saying in effect: "Beyond this point is a zone where ordinary human thinking cannot go. You must make the sift to another kind of thinking. YOu must think like an animal now. Enter at your peril."

I wonder if Kane has the foresight to know my epithet was James the Rat, and that i would soon be thinking like a rat. Or Perhaps the reason Crazy Coffee Carly was so easily swayed is because men are thought of as pigs comically in todays social circles; perhaps the knew world was one where ideas come alive.

"Myth Structures itself so as to preserve its own levels of knowledge, yet it is an epistemolgoy that is remarkably sensitive to patterns in states of change."

"The framing of types and qualities of knowledge means that nature is apprehended in her variety, in her distinctiveness, in her unpredictablitiy, with energies crossing boundaries continually."
