The concept of a diminished separation between existence and cessation is often associated with periods or circumstances characterized by heightened spiritual sensitivity, liminal states, or perceived increased access to realms beyond the physical world. These times are culturally and individually variable but consistently involve an alteration in consciousness or a shift in perceived reality. Examples include certain religious festivals, times of personal crisis, states of deep meditation, or the experiences of individuals near the end of life.
This perception carries significance across various cultures and belief systems. Historically, such times have been viewed as opportunities for divination, ancestor communication, or heightened spiritual awareness. The perceived accessibility of other realms during these periods may influence rituals, practices, and individual behavior. Furthermore, understanding these beliefs can offer insights into the human experience of mortality and the desire to transcend physical limitations.
