REPORT: WORLD-CROSSINGS
DEFINITION: A world crossing is where the boundary of two realities become thin and an individual travels between them.
REPORT:
This is an old concept that bares a striking reality. Stories of children getting lost in fairy realms by accident in the forest and getting trapped are historical examples.
There are two major known crossing types:
1. Singular crossing
The singular crossing is such where someone crosses into another, alien reality. This is the classic fairy tale crossing. This is Alice going through the looking glass. It is the style of every adventure tale. These can be considered a ‘kinder’ exchange because there is no mistaking it and one can work towards finding their way home.
2. Shift-Exchange
A shift exchange is the possible explanation for the phenomenon known as the “Mandela Effect.” This is a two-way exchange where you take the place of someone in another reality, and they take yours. We have 13 persons under our employ who are known to be from a shift-exchange. The scariest part of this is that some people can cross the boundary to an almost identical reality without realizing it and live the rest of their lives none the wiser. The family you love, the job you do, none of those are the right ones. They are strangers that resemble the ones you know.
World-crossings are mostly random but often follow distinct patterns. They are found in locations that feel familiar and unreal at the same time. Some include:
· An empty school at night
· Denny’s restaurants after midnight
· Traffic lights with no other cars around late at night
· Empty, abandoned malls, offices, airports
· Old motel hallways with no one around.
The biggest correlation between all of these is that a world-crossing occurs most often occurs to singular individuals in a moment of extreme loneliness or abandonment. They may not be lonely people, but the moment itself is. A strong feeling of deja-vu or something being implacably not right can be signs that you have undergone a world-crossing or world-shift event (see the various reports on World Shifts for the difference).
NOTE: Sometimes referred to as “liminal spaces”
