Borderlands are where the fun is.
It’s where the curious conduct their explorations.
Adventure can be found along the edges, as can real danger and insanity.
To some readers, common sense may indicate all of the topics of the Unfolding Series could be placed in this category.
A borderland as defined by the American Heritage Dictionary at thefreedictionary.com is as follows::
bor•der•land (bôr d r-l nd ) n.
1. a. Land located on or near a frontier.
b.The fringe: a shadowy figure who lived on the borderland of the drug scene.2. An indeterminate area, situation, or condition: the borderland between sanity and insanity.
Borderland topics certainly cover all manner of pseudoscience including:
o UFOs
o Aliens – a.k.a. Extraterrestrial Biological Entities
o Fortean Objects and related phenomenon
o Purported theories and compounds relating to the physical sciences
o Free Energy theories
o Exotic unproven technologies
Should you decide to venture to the fringe, I consider it a best practice to have a companion or peer group to consult with – someone who can say, “Don’t do that!”
For example, earlier this week my wife ConiAnn and I were invited to attend a group made up primarily of dowsers. During dinner, one of the guests mentioned a well-know speaker. I had listened to the speaker years ago. His predictions of catastrophic events (that didn’t happen) and his extreme alarms of alien infiltration into the Earth’s leading elite were something I didn’t want to be involved in.
I suggested to our dinner companion that with the speaker’s past record, his current message of positive thought should be approached with caution. I was pronounced “close minded” – in this case it’s a judgment I will not dispute. For me to open that door it will take additional time and evidence.
Generally, when someone talks about ideas, capabilities, or actions which would uproot you from your current existence, you are in the borderlands, the fringes of your ability to tell what’s real from what’s imagined – from what allows you to live your life and what forces you to change it.
At times it is not possible have companions along parts of your journey and it is necessary to go alone into undiscovered territories. In such situations a certain combination of boldness and abundant caution is highly recommended.
If the potential change creates a fear that is too great to bear, it’s usually prudent to turn around and return to safety.
Safe Travels,

Its such as you learn my mind! You seem to understand a lot about this, such as you wrote the guide in it or something. I think that you can do with a few p.c. to pressure the message house a little bit, however instead of that, this is wonderful blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
We don’t know enough to say we understand it. The fun is in the searching.
