There’s something ironic about poking around in a person’s brain to learn about their sense of personal space...
I agreed, now i hope they will leave me alone.
Interesting.
My sense of personal space is about one planet.
Looks like another case of nature versus nurture, to me.
“Personal space” is largely cultural, and therefore learned, in my experience.
When I first moved to the outer ‘burbs down here, I’d get annoyed in the local stores, because I honestly could not distinguish, between people standing around shooting the breeze, and people who were standing in line for the cash register.
It’s still hard to tell, but I’ve learned if they’re facing the register, they’re probably in line, even though they’re spread out with three feet or more between them. They’ll line up to the back of the store, to maintain this spacing. It’s really sort of odd, but I’ve gotten accustomed.
Shanghai, China people must have a different kind of brain then.
A guy I knew in college was from pre-rev Iran. We about touched noses when he talked. Freaked me out at first. Are their brains different or is it just cultural. He appeared to have NO personal space.
My grandson went to NYC in March, I asked him what the most memorable thing was and he said that it was walking shoulder to shoulder with people you don’t even know.
NYC is great for a few days at a time, but beyond that, I start feeling like throwing elbows myself, lol.
There is a lot more to our “personal space” area than meets the eye.
That is, in some traditional cultures, personal space defines an area within an energetic “shell” that surrounds living organisms. This shell is vital, because it protects our internal energies from the “energy at large” that surrounds the shell. In short, when the shell is ripped open, we are severely traumatized, and unless we can repair it, we die.
Such shells tend to interfere with each other, as two people approach each other, and many people can “feel” them contacting, followed by the mild discomfort of someone in your personal space. The shells can also be deformed, by injury, illness, or incapacity.
There are all sorts of attributions assigned to these shells in different cultures. But unlike the active energy within our bodies, the shells are rather dull containers, imagine a large inflated ball of plastic wrap.
It is my understanding that the tendency toward liberalism has also been located. It is found in the part of the brain known as the rectal lobe.
I’ve been actively researching this for almost 20 years. I’ve done several demonstrations for medical professionals, even in university settings. It freaks them out when I demonstrate this.
Many times, in public forums, I will have volunteers from the audience come down and I will have them close their eyes, I say nothing, and do not touch them in any way. I walk back fifteen feet and by moving my finger slightly (stimulating consciousness fields), and move their physical body to the point it often knocks them off their feet. I then repeat the process and tell them what the event was that happened in their life that has caused their consciousness patterns to develop the way they did(personality formation). They never say a word, not even their names. I have completely bypassed their sensory stimulation and thus their critical thinking. I figured out exactly where memories are stored and how they are processed and retreived. Freaks people out. The personal space stuff is child’s play as it is so easy to do and simple to understand.
I did this at a Harvard Mind Body Institute program a few years ago and the faculty members could not believe what they saw with their own eyes. Same was true at Duke University. Karl Pribram at Stanford University was correct in his theories concerning memories being stored as holograms and I can prove it by reading the stored memories in a subject. It’s not mysticism, it’s science and is easily explained. The amygdala only interacts with one aspect of the consciousness field, the emotional aspect of the stored memory. When I stimulate the memory, a person’s physical body responds as though they have a vestibular disfunction.
Did the same presentation in the Naval Intelligence Building, Arlington VA, for a small group a few years ago. Their response, “The public is not ready for this yet. They want to think that their thoughts are private!”
Autism is a super masculine consciousness that limits the interaction with the emotional aspects of consciousness at the base level. In virtually every person I tested with autism or aspergers syndrome, the change occurred in the third month of pregnancy that created the disconnect in processing. You could say it is the process of intellectualizing emotions at the base level of development.

How did you learn to do that?
