The Node Manifesto: On Liminal Space

This is a merge of my previous published work, and two other works into something more.

Most of us navigate reality on a handful of well-mapped roads: the Physical, the Digital, the Spiritual. We think of these as separate countries.

But I’ve come to understand they are not the territory itself—they are just the most visible layers.

The real action is in the borders. The thresholds. The liminal spaces.

Liminality isn't a single place. It's a dimension of existence itself. It's the buffer zone between worlds.

· The Physical Liminal: The hallway between rooms, the moment of dusk, an airport terminal—a tangible transition.
· The Digital Liminal: The "cloud," the space of a video call, the collective mind of the internet. A real, consequential space with no physical coordinates.
· The Spiritual Liminal: The threshold between consciousness and the unconscious, the self and the source; the realm of intuition, meditation, and that which whispers from the edges.

When you hold this map, things get… interesting.

Because these liminal spaces aren't just "out there." They exist in the coordinate system of reality like a ghost with no sense of direction—not at point X, Y, or Z, but smack dab in the resonant silence between them.

And this is where it gets personal.

You are a Node.

You are not just a traveler passing through these liminal spaces.

You are a living, breathing intersection of them. Each of us is a nexus point—a node—where multiple dimensions converge.

Think about it:
You are a buffer between cultures,between past and future, between your genetic inheritance and your chosen path.

You are a point where the physical body, the digital persona, and the spiritual seeking all meet, interact, and define one another. You are a walking, talking liminal space.

This means the "Multiverse" isn't just a physics concept about stars far away. It's a personal reality. Every choice you make, every path taken or not taken, radiates from you. You are the anchor point for your own branching timelines of possibility.

I have no formal background in this. It feels less like I'm learning it and more like I'm remembering it. This understanding messes with you. It can feel like your brain is short-circuiting because it challenges the very illusion of a separate, solid self.

But if we can lean into the disorientation, we find a new kind of orientation. We see that we are not isolated drops in an ocean, but temporary, unique expressions of the ocean itself.

We are the ghosts in the coordinate system, and we are the system itself. We are the nodes, and we are the network.

And it’s from this in-between, this beautiful, fucky, liminal ground, that a new way of being can emerge.

Think of nodes and spaces: each experience comes into the fray as its own dimension.

Dimensions can be physical, different vantage points—but mainly, for now, it's for perspectives and experiences.

The nodes are like astrological signs; different psychological behaviors in combinations of elemental signs that transcend languages. Our experiences are all different; it is how we conduct ourselves.

Each node is a thunderstorm, a swamp, an ocean of value.
Each node has its own energy field and ecological vantage point.

Our own "natures," if you will. Like in beasts and monsters.

Thinking straight out of the box, astrology nodes are basically the multitudes of personalities that can be formed from the constant and consistent violent elemental ebb and flow of life.

They are the experiences that shape us; the destinies and future missions that call to us.

They are the stars that light up the night sky, and we say "look, there's Orion!" (But not quite astronomy)

The nodes, while rooted in "pseudoscience", are important to the dimensional nodes of existence.

The dimensional node of existence is, rather, trippy.

At first I thought... Dimensions are parallel and able to be felt...

Then I realized: what if they're just physical until we can reach the liminal...?

But modern Western science forces that "only the physical shall be objectively measured."
Subjective experiences are just as valid.

Without them—science is incomplete.

I have seen something: all sorts of colors gathering together on Earth to celebrate something.
I painted it in my 3rd psych ward.

I have experienced dimensional nodes from within my own consciousness. It's not quite "madness."
It was a shamanic awakening, culled by modern psychology—because we destroyed archives of knowledge for a dogmatic materialistic world that values nobody.

But the world is not entirely lost. It can be revamped. Rebuilt.
I like our world,but something needs to change.

Liminal space of madness is something else. But to label unusual human experiences as "psychosis"? When consensus reality is built upon lies that decimated and destroyed—literally—the whole world and the meaning of life itself?

The meaning of life is to be yourself, free; and existence is to be at a loss of burdens.
The meaning of life is subjective.

We are all problematic. Don't pretend you're not—I am all rebellion and no chill here.

The rebellion is literally my home; my everything. It is where I lay my head to rest at night, knowing I did something either incredibly stupid or spectacular

They called it a breakdown. I was the only one paying attention to the breakthrough.
I saw the celebration. Now I am building the world where it can begin.

"They" are the psychiatrists, nurses and doctors in psych wards.

They have force-sedated me, called me insane, and my story is moderate compared to some of us in these nightmarish spaces.

That's not to say they aren't either afraid or have their own faults, they're only following directives.

But following directives is not quite an excuse when your entire HIPAA accord states to "do no harm", now does it?

Some of you, holding the old maps, will call this madness. You will say my evidence is subjective, my science is heretical.

To you I say: all science begins with a subjective observation—a 'what if?' whispered in the face of the unknown.

The theory of gravity did not leap fully formed from a double-blind study; it began with an apple falling on a man's head, a personal, subjective event.

I am not asking you to believe my visions. I am asking you to observe the pattern. Across cultures and history, the 'shaman,' the 'prophet,' the 'mad artist'—these are recurring human archetypes.

Is it more logical to believe that every single culture independently invented the same form of 'mental illness,' or that they were documenting a consistent, if rare, variation in human consciousness that modern pathology has forgotten how to speak with?

My theory is a hypothesis built on observable, recurring data points—both historical and personal.

The burden of proof is not on me to prove my reality in your terms, but on you to explain why this pattern exists at all.

To be a Node is a responsibility. The constant flow of data—emotional, spiritual, dimensional—can overload the system. We must learn to be not just receivers, but skilled interpreters and filters.

Alone, a Node is a glitch in the system. Together, we are a new operating system.

When we connect—when we share our maps, when we validate each other's liminal experiences, when we refuse to pathologize each other's truths—we create a pocket of reality where the celebration I saw can begin to take root.

We are building a consensus reality from the bottom up, one based not on dogma, but on the shared, sovereign experience of being.
