Liminal is word that has been gaining in popularity lately, similar in some ways to "meme." Both words were coined in an academic/scholarly context and have spread to more alternative communities. I think liminal, which means emerging, as well as things on the borderlines, is a significant concept for our times.
I'd like this tribe to focus on innovative possibilities in many areas, and to help facilitate connections between different realms of action, such as the arts, prosperity, social sciences, spirituality and healing, to name a few. I'd also like to keep this tribe as positive as possible. Not in a saccharine "new agey" way, but to avoid some of the endless debates that end up taking up so much space on some tribes -as well as message boards all over the net. Not to be "exclusionary," but I really am not encouraging, for example, hard core skeptics/materialists who want to "debunk" every alternative idea to hang out in this tribe. Nor do I want this to be a place to simply lament the evils of Bush, the neo-cons, Illuminati or whoever may think they are ruling the world.
I think there is enough potential energy out there right now to create some very amazing solutions to most human problems if we focus on finding them. So I'm looking for feedback and also people and communities to link with on such possibilities.

Re: Liminal Worlds
Thu, March 13, 2008 - 9:28 PMThat's a very nice dedication by you for this Tribe.
In your personal note to me I very much liked this:
'.... a tribe that discusses new and innovative possibilities with a minimum of wasteful conflicts and arguments.'
There seems to be a lot of waffle happening in many areas of the Internet. Considering the urgent state of the world, it feels like it's time to get on with any action that is reasonably positive.
www.liminalworlds.com
That's a neat domain name. Good.
Blessings for your good venture.

Fri, March 14, 2008 - 8:55 AMHey Michael, thanks for your comments. While I've been wanting to start this tribe for a while. Ideas like Big World Gathering are just the kind of thing I had in mind -ways to network and connect people on a variety of issues and solutions.

~~ ways to network and connect people on a variety of issues and solutions ~~
There are people in Iraq wondering if they'll be blown up ~~~ I was going to list a few things about the suffering in the world, but we all know about it.
There are villages ...... where nearly everyone is ill because of AIDS... and they can't get the correct medicine.
If we can make some good moves, there are billions (yes, that's the right number) of people in the world who will be grateful.
