Overlap? | Gatework | Forums

I debated whether to put this under Spiritwork or here.  Ultimately, I thought it fit best here, though it is primarily of relevance to spirit workers.

I'm starting to think that particular physical locations on the planet earth (possibly elsewhere as well, but I'm going by my own experiences in this life) may “overlap” with other worlds.  I don't just mean at gates or thin spots, naturally occurring or otherwise, either.  I mean in a much broader sense… entire regions where contacting particular other worlds are easier, because those worlds in some way overlap with this one.  Thin spots and gates may be apertures that allow passage between these overlapping realms, but I think the overlap itself is a much larger area.  Possibly a significant portion of a US state.

I think it's also possible that multiple worlds overlap with one region in this manner.  It's not exclusive.  But I'm betting that these worlds are somehow part of a set… I think if you actually went to one of the other worlds, you'd find thin spots and gates there that led to the other worlds in the set, as they're all overlapping.

Why is any of this important?  Well, I have a theory that if you're working on contact with someone from another world (say, they spiritwalk into your head but maintain a body at home) then where you physically are may make a difference in your connection with them.  If you move out of the region of overlap, it may become much harder to keep the connection open.

There also may be implications for gatework: it may be much harder, perhaps even impossible, to create an artificial thin spot or a gate to another world if the place you're doing it does not overlap with the world you're targeting.

There's also a possibility that the places which overlap shift over time, but I'm not sure how one would track that.  I have had the sense that contacting particular worlds gets easier at some times and harder at others.  And not just the seasonal veil shift acknowledged by neopaganism.  It's more complex than that.

Anyway, those are my thoughts this evening.  What do other people think?  Am I on to something here, or am I full of it?  And if my theory is correct, any good ideas for establishing contact/artificial thin spots/gates outside areas of overlap?
