It seems that the gift of going in between worlds is the practice of seeing things from different points of view. It provides experiential peace in knowing over time that no one human environment has it all, nor any one person~ it simply allows a comparison of sifting.
Therefore, take what is helpful, and leave behind what isn't, without expecting others to be where you are on your journey, because God created you so uniquely in your mind, body and spirit. It is possible to hold things lightly while still learning. Even look like something that you're growing in for awhile, knowing there will be a balancing later, if there needs to be a balancing out. There has to be loss for there to be gain. Borrow the strengths of something you're growing in, throw out what doesn't belong as God leads and directs. Be OK with imperfection. Don't expect everyone everywhere to be exactly where you are at in it, and hold fast to what the Lord is leading you in. Follow His directions in fasting and prayer and in reading His word. And be in community to practice.
Through Him who gives us strength. Thank goodness, because no one person outside of Christ knows all points of views conjoining perfectly together ~ We might be able to see how the enemy likes to use fear, though Perhaps going in between a variety of scenarios and fine-tuning through 'expected' conflict, allows a humility to be realized, at least. That we know in part, and see in part. Which every submitted leader in Christ, will admit. 1 Cor. 13:9 "Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!"
This helps us realize that it is not about strife. Just learning ~
# best of postmodernism and how does it relate to "culture shock"?
How does Christianity fit into this postmodern matrix relating to a specific culture or person ? and is it lacking absolute truth so as to fit into the culture?
Not at all ~
How does Christianity in it's purest, undefiled, original Acts form fit into this postmodern matrix? Quite naturally actually. Because the Church is Global. We are His Global Church.
Asking, how might the Gospel be acculturated into "this context/ this environment," be part of what it means to apply the Great Commission to "Go into All the World?"

Simply put, then~ each people, group, tribe and nation fits marvelously into His Kingdom plan when we all reject our own god of self, recognizing our inability to save ourselves from ourselves. Recognizing our need for a Savior from ourselves. Therefore, **submitting our mind, will, and emotions for the cause of His Glory **above all else. Basically saying, I am not God, or even any god. Period.
We are then crucified with Christ. And made alive in His love.
Christ then lives in me and leads me HOME, at last.
The breath we then see is not our own. "By Faith I stand. By Grace I am Free. The life I live I live to see~ that Christ alone, now lives in me.
The Risen Lord is dwelling here~ The Old has gone, the New has come. We walk in light, the past undone. From ashes~ beauty appears." (From song below)
