 Okay, May 40 here. So we're in a liminal space right now. We've had the shooter arrested the apparent shooter shot two orthodox Jews Wednesday and Thursday as they are walking away from synagogue after morning prayers and it's an Asian dude and He was a student at USC dental school before he went a little nuts, but apparently he blamed Persian Jews for spreading COVID So in a liminal space guys between the shooting between the arrest Between you know finding out much more about these shootings and Of course that reminds me the Chinese balloon over Montana right now that liminal space so Near space so if you go 11 to 62 miles up you're above where Plains fly but below where satellites roam and so what happens in near space Does it stay in this space or can it move on from this space apparently? China is looking to to dominate near space With their fancy balloons. I think it's called that like the red zeppelin project So it's intrigued by this idea of liminal spaces. So we're always in transition And right now in transition between making money going home for the Sabbath Transitioning into the Sabbath You can be in a transition between being married and being divorced I can live right now in Los Angeles, but he knows I mean transition to living in Sydney and we're always in transition we're always in liminal spaces and It reminds me of how I used to always just hate gatekeepers gatekeepers man They would keep me out of where I wanted to go and they would they would test me and they would ask me obnoxious questions Wasn't too thrilled with the gatekeepers and then I read a book on archetypes It's a book on hiding movie scripts but Developed on Joseph Campbell's book work on archetypes and apparently gatekeeper is an archetype And so yeah, some people just have the responsibility of deciding who comes in and who comes out So it's not personal when the gatekeeper tests you to see if you belong inside. It's not personal He's just got a job to do. I always heated resented Disliked felt threatened by how to chip on my shoulder against gatekeepers But gatekeepers are inherent liminal spaces are inherent We're always transitioning from one to another and I've never really thought much about near space and you delved into the into the the defense and Other possibilities of near space apparently from 12 miles up to about 62 miles up Up above the earth. We're talking with near space. So this is where the satellites don't roam The Buffalo don't roam no more All right, there there aren't international laws about near space. There aren't International treaties there aren't really international norms And so President Biden saying we need to develop international law international treaties international norms about how to deal with nails near space but apparently from this New York Times article, I was just reading China's making a lot of progress on Near space supremacy so they've got this whole balloon program and It just like it physically Takes you back like oh my god, you know red China is just you know just above us in in this space They're dominating the liminal near space arena and And apparently Being in near space it provides you a certain capabilities that are superior to what's in space so I initially just dismissed all the hype about the Chinese balloon, but apparently there are superior ways of getting information and listening in and You know detecting what's going down on earth when you're coming from from a balloon say in near space 15 miles above the earth as opposed to a satellite which is orbiting at say 90 miles above us So near space is the new arena for international competition between the United States China Russia the other great powers You're not in space So it's not space rules operating and you're not on earth So earthling rules don't operate You're in liminal space We're always transitioning from from work to home to love to hate to sports to intellectual endeavors From shopping and earning and spending and saving and investing Being with ourselves Getting together with others always transitioning through liminal space and there are mental health challenges with liminal space I just put liminal space into Google found out there mental health challenges with liminal space We love a good mental health challenge Hmm Nothing like the thought of near space in the early afternoon to get you revved up for Shavas. Bye. Bye
