'Sacred Places' Articles
Every place has a “spirit” and the earth itself is a spirit. The lesser spirits of the land are the direct children of the earth mother. Think of the power spots as being high energy traffic areas. The powers you deal with are everywhere, but if you need to recharge you can either create a focus or go to a natural one.
“Domestic altars are deliberately set into the everyday, as a way of infusing the ordinary with the sacred. It doesn’t take a whole room to create a place to worship.” David Bennett
“Place matters to us. We often call it sacred ground where earth meets heaven.” William Cooke
Evolving Earth
Every place has a “spirit”, a perceivable essence be that chi or a genius loci. Places themselves have seemed very alive throughout human history. In fact, the “gods” referred to in feng shui were originally perceived spirits native to a place. A tree, a large stone, etc., basically very similar to Shinto kami. The Earth is a spirit? The greater earth itself, yes. The Gaia theory has a big part to do with sacred places in old traditions and spiritualities, and the more pagan pantheistic views. Why was Earth the only planet not named after a God? Earth is a… Seek More
Hauntings
When they are investigating possible hauntings one of the first things they look to, because it is established, is weird electrical fields, faulty wiring and such. They do have an impact on human consciousness, and in my own experience it is possible to tell the difference. I suffered from a juvenile seizure disorder, and I am sensitive to seizures in others even today. Is this where the ‘barrier’ is thin? No, in fact not. When exposed to bad wiring your brain tries to translate what is effectively blank energy. There is no natural pattern on the wiring usually so the… Seek More
Sacred Power
Does the theory of sacred places pertain to virtual spaces? Yes, and any energy that moves you closer to zero point resonance, which rather than being a void or empty headed state is more like highly amplified alpha wave brain function, can serve as a sacred place. The value of adding things to a sacred place is having a symbol of an uplifting principle or idea to sort of passively commune with. You can make you more sensitive to it in general, even if in a low energy place. So if you bring totemic items to meditate on when visiting… Seek More
Using the Power
Tuning in is like wireless internet the old way. Our legends of information being shared over great distances, by any who focused on feeling the power in the world, are so common as to be refutable only in particular elements, not the phenomenon itself. Mentally text someone for free as long as they’re in your network? Basically yes, this is why in Rhines experiments as well as his successors, attuned people, twins, lovers, or parent and child, usually mother and child, were most commonly able to send and receive data between them. Extreme stress or emotion? The body soups up… Seek More
Spirit Awakening
Documentation on how sacred places were located is scattered. They used pendulums or dowsing rods and many of the legendary water spirits were believed to dwell at places that were basically sacred sites, and not every sacred site welcomed everyone. Some only the village Shaman entered because of what they did with their energy. For others, they were taboo as the power level is overwhelming. It was part of the duty of the Shaman to take that power and make it useful to the tribe as a whole. Shambhala? Yes, that discipline is related as is the legendary location. Some… Seek More
