  • A Case for Space

    Ready.

    If you like your space, and your privacy much like I do. You generally don’t like when people, especially strangers, take the liberty of inviting themselves into your personal space. It is even worse if they are not smelling too right. But the violation is actually far more egregious than bad breath. If only you knew the power of your aura, you would be very careful who you allow to enter into your personal space, let alone actually touch you. This is a case for space. Personal space, that is.

    Your aura is an energy force field that contains your lifeforce and your essence as a spiritual being, living in the flesh. It transcends your physical vessel, and perhaps even stretches on for at least another six feet away from where you are currently standing. That is why they recommended six feet of social distancing, during the pandemic. It was not a part of some vector control effort, it was all energy manipulation.

    Someone who is vibrating on a lower, or a negative frequency can have a profound effect on your mood for the day. That is because our physical bodies are an antenna that transmits frequencies from the different people with whom we interact. We can pick up on different energies that people carry within their soul, whether or not we are aware of it. Likewise, we can transmit different energies out to other people within our immediate environment.

    Which is why in Jamaica, we have this thing called, “spirit tek.” If one gets a bad feeling about someone they just met, they might say that their spirit doesn’t take that person. “Mi can’t explain it, but mi spirit just no tek him.” It is a mostly archaic reference to having a spirit of discernment.

    This is not something we should ignore, as we must always respect the way we feel about someone, or something. It could definitely save us a lot of trouble, and may even save our lives.

    As a rule, they taught us in school that an arm’s length of distance is sufficient. This idea does not work because we are all made in different sizes. The average adult in the western world has an arm length of about two feet from wrist to shoulder. In reality, three feet of personal space is tolerable depending on the circumstances, say public transportation for example. But ideally, five feet is sufficient. The question is, why do people feel the need to enter your personal space when talking to you?

    There are some who are tone deaf, and as such, may feel that you will have difficulty in hearing them. Likewise, they may feel as though they won’t be able to hear you clearly, unless they get really close. This idea is plausible, because there really are some weirdos who deliberately turn down the volume. Just so that the person they are talking to would feel obligated to stick their neck out to hear what they have to say. Whenever this happens, it is a trick, and the thing to do is to disengage from the person doing the talking.

    As plausible as the tone deaf theory may be, majority of the time, people really only enter your personal space because they are narcissists who feel entitled to violate your boundaries. That’s all there is to it. That is the time to put on your war paint. I know they taught us to undermine the importance of our personal boundaries. But believe me, it is worth fighting for. Our boundaries are literally an extension of our spiritual lifeforce beyond the flesh. And similar to word curses, physical contact can also manipulate your energy through your mood.

    Apart from that, it is really just about having good manners in general. It shows the other person that you care about them enough to respect their boundaries. It also shows that you respect their perception of reality enough, that you don’t want them to get the impression that you are trying to commandeer their life. As uninvited close contact is always perceived as a sign of hostility. This is especially true if they don’t really know you like that.

    Personally, in order for you to legally enter my aura, I must first invite you. And in order for me to invite you, my spirit of discernment must first positively receive your aura. The same is true whether you are a friend, a lover, or business associate. If you are not sure how I feel, then verbally ask me for permission to enter my aura.

    Or you can start with the gesture of a handshake, and see if I accept. But whatever you do, giving yourself permission to enter my aura is the fastest way towards earning yourself a knuckle sandwich. Especially if you sneak up on me from behind. Planes, trains and elevators are rare exceptions. Adeu!
