Just a tiny observation
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?
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I don’t know if you’re “on to something” in the sense of “hey, this is new, has anyone articulated this before?” but, yeah. Makes sense.

I almost want to say “Well, DUH” to this. (Hopefully you won’t take that badly! More like “Jarin, think about this a second – do you realize how obviously sensible this is?”)

This also sounds eminently sensible, although I don’t have any personal experience to back it up. FWIW it’s the kind of “sensible” that feels like it goes beyond intellectual comprehension into “Oh, yeah, I knew that somewhere, I just didn’t know I did until I saw these words.”

Cool. 🙂 Glad to hear it… and that does seem to be the general consensus (most discussion has taken place on my facebook even though I linked to here.) https://www.facebook.com/jarandhel/posts/278266192222906

Hehe, of course I don't take that badly… in my other posts that linked to this one, I said: This may make some of my woo-woo type friends go “duh”. 🙂

*nodnod* That's kinda how the whole experience of coming up with this info was to me. And I've been doing some experimenting based on that theory (with strengthening the connection to my headmate Ally) that seems to be working so far. If you can't go back to the place where you originally channeled them, you can still create a magical link to that place of overlap which can be used to connect to them.
