Very good questions there.The magic of breaking free into the (real) reality consists exactly in transcending those fears, forgetting about all the "what if's", embracing the energy rush that the danger creates. If one gets there, the magic doesn't dissapear. If the magic is gone, it means that he's no longer there...Going too far and not being able to return is the ideal situation (very difficult to achieve). But for the ones that aren't prepared to get out of their comfort zone and -live- their lives, it sounds like a monster story, scarier than the spookiest horror movies."What if?", is common among people who get so used to living in a comfort zone, that they are afraid to even imagine the posibilities that exist outside of it. To quote Shakespeare: "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so". A while ago, I used to ask myself "what if" a million times. Now I just -do- things, less fears and questions. If I make mistakes, I learn from them; if I succeed, I enjoy the satisfaction.In the end, we only live once. Why would we be afraid of anything? Hi Erin, thanks for the positive feedback. Very good questions there.

There is appeal in breaking through that barrier into "reality"; however there is so much fear associated with doing so. What if we go to far and can't return? What if in doing so we create unrepairable damage? What if once we get there, the magic is gone, and then what's left? Or is it all about transcending these fears, or maybe even embracing them? Great post Armand. There is appeal in breaking through that barrier into “reality”; however there is so much fear associated with doing so. What if we go to far and can’t return?

The difference is that some have felt the difference while being so close to it, while others didn't... I'm glad you're one of those who did and you want to go back there.I've been in the middle of it many times, but I wasn't able to stay there for as long as I wanted. Getting there is kinda easy, staying is what I find difficult. :) Hi V.,

Knowing that we're all unique in our own way, having different methods to break free from the shackles of "reality" is natural.I've also experienced a liberation feeling in intense pleasure or concentration, but, at least in my case, that liberation was very short lived.

With danger, it's a different story. Even if sometimes it may also be short lived, it has a different intensity level.

I agree that danger can be liberating but I've also experienced similar feelings of "breaking through" in moments of intense pleasure or even intense focus or concentration.
