Join us today as we get real creepy as I break down the ideas of liminal spaces and a spoiler-free discussion about the concept of the backrooms movie that's taken the world by storm and how this ties into the occult and all of the strange oddities of hyperstition and reality being created from science fiction nerds here on Breaking Social Norms.
How do the hosts describe the feeling of being in a school after hours as a liminal space?
So Josie, have you ever been in a school? After hours. Yes. Tell me the feelings that that evokes.
Hm. I guess like for me it felt Like it was a space that you weren't supposed to be.
Okay.
Like it felt like sorry, I I just put a mint in my mouth. Uh I thought you were gonna pre you were gonna talk a little more.
No. I yeah, so the reason I bring it up, you can enjoy your minute. I'll talk. I'll vamp. So the reason I bring it up is because there and and that's interesting you were to say I did this with you because I didn't even think about this when I did my whole I did a whole film analysis of the movie Backrooms and in it I discussed the ideas of liminal spaces and the most Sort of grasp graspable one is being when you were a kid and you go to your elementary school after hours and it felt creepy in the hallways. But you're right. We did ghost hunting in schools after hours, huh?
Yep. We ha ghost hunted. And then I think about like if there was like a dance and you would go to the school after hours when when it was like not school time.
Yeah.
What connection do they make between occult energy manipulation and liminal spaces?
It did have a feeling. Like you wouldn't think that there'd be a a feeling associated with that, but there was a f a feeling associated. I don't re I can't Pinpoint it. But there's definitely something.
Do you think that's a universal experience? Do you think everybody can feel that or identify with that? I mean, or is this something you've never talked about or thought about I don't think I've ever talked about it with somebody. Because there's an idea in the occult of energy, right? 'Cause the occult is all about manipulating energy, basically. Oh, it is. Basically, yeah. That's what sex magic is all about. That's what magic is all about. It's manipulating the energy 'cause they think we're connected through through the ideas of Hermes, the alien from ancient Egypt, and the Hermetic wisdom. that we are all connected. As above so below, right?
Mm-hmm. So So do you think religion is about that then too?
Do I think like Christianity?
Any. Is it just about Manip well, what did you say? It's about manipulating energy?
Yeah.
So I mean manipulation is a word that kinda has like a negative connotation, but what if you were just to say, Well you're trying to get into the flow of that energy.
Right.
So if you're just trying to be in presence with that energy, which is that's what how how I would like describe Religion is it like there's an energy out there and you're trying to get in the flow of that energy. Or be uh Yeah, I guess in the flow of it, right? So would that mean if the occult is just manipulating that energy is religion then
Yes.
Not a manipulation of it, but trying to be in the flow of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause 'cause I subscribe to the idea that we are all just energy, right? We're just vibrating frequency. Humans. Yeah, when you when you boil down to what is matter and it's just different frequencies of vibration that we decode with these antenna of our body.
I don't believe that there is a separate existence within side the body. Like we are the contain the body is a container and then there's a spirit inside of it. Don't you think?
Yeah, 'cause when you die the body Clearly feels different.
I'm putting another mint in my mouth and for all of you that don't enjoy listening to me chew, I'm fucking sorry, but I have to.
Jersey's mint A S M R.
I need it. I have to have it. My nose is plugged and I ate an egg salad And egg salad, as delicious as it is, makes me want to fucking puke just sitting with it in my mouth. And I've drank water and now it's still not going to be.
