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...
