The Nature of Sacred Space by Sig Lonegren

 The Nature of Sacred Space

A tone poem Sig Lonegren wrote .........rediscovered it and felt like posting it.

All the Earth is Sacred, With Every Step We Take             so the chant goes,           and, of course, it is true.           But            there            are            places                where it is                easier to                perceive                the Spirit                      than others.                Places                 where it might be                 easier to                 feel                 at one                      with the One. It's the Nature of Sacred Space.                   It might be easier                   to feel at one with the One                   in Avebury Stone Ring than, say, in Hell's Kitchen;                   or in Mesa Verde  than in Times Square.                   So, there are places on this Earth                         Where Spirit is concentrated;                           Where it's "more sacred." The weird thing about this concentration is that everyone who goes there sees Spirit differently. Some encounter Spirit and see Jesus Others see Mohammed, Buddah, or Cerridwen. Then there's the Little People and Manitou... Dowsers are the same. . .                        No two dowsers, even if they had the same teacher,               find the same thing                        when dowsing in sacred space. Some find energy leys and domes of water, others find Curry and Hartmann Grids, then there's Michael and Mary Lines, and Aquastats and Track lines, not to mention "energy lines" and Maltese Crosses. The list goes on and on.                                  So, why does everyone see it differently?      I think it has something to do with                the level of consciousness of the individual,           his/her set of expectations, and         What s/he's ready to "see."                    Hmm. . . Who decides that last one - what we're ready to see? Maybe it is Spirit. Not some dumb energy with no consciousness. But the Energy of Spirit with total eternal consciousness. Maybe it is the Spirit of the Place who decides what we see...
