English term or phrase: as people shift across a time/space continuum.....
The term ‘anomalous experiences’ is
interpreted in different ways. For some it
is hearing voices, seeing ghosts, spirits of
the dead, or apparitions,
whereas for others it is memories from
past lives, or extreme sensitivity as people
shift across a time/space continuum,

Spanish translation:al pasar la gente por el continuo espacio-tiempo
Explanation:
'pasar por' («¡No Pasarán!» - a well-known slogan outside of England from the Spanish Civil War and Cuban Revolution, pero en este caso: «¡ Si Pasarán!», might be the easiest option.

The figurative geometry of time / space also seems to be routinely inverted in Spanish.

Query: whether a passive construction ought be used as in 'pasarse' (vs. passing o.s. off and switching sides) whilst omitting 'la gente'.

al debatirse en (medio de) un continuum/continuo de tiempo y espacio


Explanation:
El término "experiencias anómalas" se puede interpretar de diferentes maneras. Para algunos, es oír voces, ver fantasmas, espíritus de los muertos o apariciones, mientras que para otros, se trata de recuerdos de vidas pasadas o sensibilidad extrema al debatirse en (medio de) un continuum/continuo de tiempo y espacio.

Yo usaría la expresión latina "continuum" en letra cursiva.

as people shift across a time/space continuum
ya que las personas nos vamos cruzando en el continuo espacio-tiempo


Explanation:
Hi, several things here:

1. We can't overlook the word "people"--it must be translated.

2. I think they are talking about different dimensions--in mystery theories, we humans involuntarily meet dead people or people from other dimensions.

3. "Continuo" for lat. "continuum" does exist in spanish (link 1).

whereas for others it is memories from past lives, or extreme sensitivity as people shift across a time/space continuum

mientras que para otros son recuerdos de vidas pasadas o una sensibilidad extrema, ya que las personas nos vamos cruzando en el continuo espacio-tiempo

Example sentence(s):
  • Indagar de una forma rigurosa en la física de los viajes en el tiempo requiere que coqueteemos con la geometría del continuo espacio-tiempo.
  • El continuo espacio-tiempo es una estructura geométrica donde parece darse el movimiento y distribución de la materia que observamos.

a medida que se recorre el espacio-tiempo


Explanation:
En mi opinión la palabra "continuo" se puede omitir en este caso, porque da lugar a confusión si se lee como adjetivo.
