"Liminal" in Latin means "threshold" and I've been saying for some years now that I believe transformation almost always happens when you're inside of liminal space, when you're on the threshold. The job of a good spiritual director, in my opinion, is to lead you to your threshold, to encourage you not to be afraid of it; then to keep you there, holding the pain until you’ve learned its lessons; and eventually lead you out of it as well.
Richard Rohr - from, "Sadness"
"It is as though they are being reduced or ground down to a uniform condition to be fashioned anew and endowed with additional powers to enable them to cope with their new station in life" Victor Turner - from, "Liminality and Communitas"
