Imagine you are in country A. You are on your way to country B. In your heart, you are already in the new and better and greater country - country B. But you still have some of the ways and culture of country A. Nevertheless, you are now advancing, taking in more and more of country B's mindset, culture, beliefs, etc. It is not a very easy journey. It is not a piece of cake. There are struggles. But you are being nudged and led and assisted by an unseen hand, taking you closer and closer to the better country, better place. There is effort, struggle, conflict, faith, determination, love, loyalty, and progress.
Now imagine you have reached the borders (borderland). You are on the verge of a great achievement. You are about to succeed in totally and completely giving up the mindset, ways, culture, beliefs, etc of country A and wholeheartedly and completely embracing those of country B. You are at a crossroad. If you succeed in getting into country B, you would never ever be able to go back to country A. Backsliding or changing your mind becomes impossible - practically impossible. You continue to make major decisions, big decisions in this respect. You are at the brink of total self destruction and complete soul reconstruction. More powers and maturity come to you to enable you align your heart and mind completely to practically doing the will of God - to FULLY and EASILY implementing the culture of country B, without any more struggles. THE DAYS OF STRUGGLING ARE ABOUT TO BE OVER - completely over.
If you really succeed here, if you cross the borderland, you become like a superhuman - it is like attaining the first circle of cosmic consciousness. It's like being fully qualified for Thought Adjuster fusion (a.k.a. 'rapture' or Elijah translation/Enoch translation). Of course, fusion can be delayed to allow you continue your life and work here on Earth.
You become completely like Jesus - no negative ego whatsoever. You are dead to sin, self, pride, etc. You are now a manifestation of Jesus in all totality. You have crossed the BORDERLAND. Hallelujah! Glory to God! Amen.

Transitioning or maturing out of the "borderland" is quite an uphill task! Some people have experienced emotional upheavals... Victory lies in boldly holding onto God's hands in FAITH; spending time in prayers and meditation; allowing for great changes to occur on your inside; responding willfully to the divine outworking on your inside - reflecting on your challenges and co-creating/seeing the victory or God's desired outcome through faith, prayers, meditation.... Declare, speak forth and see the new "you", the more matured place, etc you desire to be...
Some people reject deep or higher level spirituality because they don't want to summon the courage, guts and faith to deal with the borderland. Going through the borderland is just inevitable. Enjoy the ride! Your TA (Thought Adjuster, God within, the Inner Voice) would guide you. May the 'force' be with you! Hahaha...
Another way I look at borderland is this: the final struggle between the flesh and the spirit - the arena, close to spiritland, where the two natures of man square it all out - the final struggle, the last fight, to tip man over completely to the spirit realm - higher spiritual maturity and freedom - 'spiritland', where you are completely aligned with the WILL and WAY of God.

'Borderland' is completely eradicated when you attain your own individual era of Light and Life. Jesus attained this while on Earth, in the flesh. He was indeed the greatest mortal (as 'son of man') ever to have lived! His was an outstandingly remarkable feat!! Hahaha....
In this present planetary dispensation, for a vast, vast majority of us, this very same feat would be accomplished in the heavenly realms (in the Mansion Worlds) - after the animal nature (or mark of the beast) is fully and completely metamorphosed into true spirit nature or even partial spirit nature (i.e. higher levels of the morontial nature) - I believe…
The Mansion Worlds (a.k.a. "many Mansions" that Jesus talked about when he was here) are Heavenly Places (Planets) of unfathomable joy, love, peace, etc and also of learning, growth, major decisions, big, big decisions - "decision-choices".... Realms of testings or challenges to fully and wholeheartedly choose the Father's plan in ways that allow for higher soul growth, 'earthshaking' soul transformation, soul ascension, unlimited purging of every and all things carnal, animalistic, bestial...

One thing is certain, the closer we get to God, the easier it all becomes. The Urantia Book [UB] puts it nicely: Everyday a righteous man lives, it becomes easier to do the right thing or to do good (or to obey the divine will) {paraphrase}.
Notable quotes on Borderland:
UB196:3.34, “The great challenge to modern man is to achieve better communication with the divine Monitor that dwells within the human mind. Man’s greatest adventure in the flesh consists in the well-balanced and sane effort to advance the borders of self-consciousness out through the dim realms of embryonic soul-consciousness in a wholehearted effort to reach the borderland of spirit-consciousness — contact with the divine presence. Such an experience constitutes God-consciousness, an experience mightily confirmative of the pre-existent truth of the religious experience of knowing God. Such spirit-consciousness is the equivalent of the knowledge of the actuality of sonship with God. Otherwise, the assurance of sonship is the experience of faith.”

UB196:3.34 presents three (3) major phases of the borderland experience:
1.) The borders of self-consciousness.
2.) The dim realms of embryonic soul-consciousness.
3.) The borderland of spirit-consciousness - CONTACT WITH THE DIVINE PRESENCE.
From this point moving forward, CONSTANT, UNINTERRUPTED CONTACT with the divine presence, the God-within, the Still Small Voice, your Thought Adjuster is possible! :)

AWESOME! Glory! Hallelujah!
Please, hear Jesus speak:
UB159:3.7, “Forewarn all believers regarding the fringe of conflict which must be traversed by all who pass from the life as it is lived in the flesh to the higher life as it is lived in the spirit. To those who live quite wholly within either realm, there is little conflict or confusion, but all are doomed to experience more or less uncertainty during the times of transition between the two levels of living. In entering the kingdom, you cannot escape its responsibilities or avoid its obligations, but remember: The gospel yoke is easy and the burden of truth is light.”
Cheers!
