Lesson 12 ~ Religious Expression ~ Sacred Space Essay
By: Rev. Trent Murman
Have you ever visited a spot considered to be a Place of Power? If so, how did it "feel"? Was this any different than anyplace else? There is a small church located near the city where I live, it was said to be a holy space because the priest and several of the congregational members claimed they had seen the statue of The Blessed Mary weeping. This attracted many visitors and holy men to observe this phenomenon. It was said to have no trickery involved and to be genuine. I too took the opportunity to visit this holy space. I can honestly say I felt no different vortex or spiritual enhancement that I normally get when I walk into any place of God. I always have been so amazed at the "mystical" feelings I have when looking at the magnificence of it all. The odds against this occurring are astronomical. Do you think this is coincidental, or is it the result of the actual existence of Places of Power? There is a great possibility in my mind that these lines could have occurred astronomically, after all it is said that beings from far away regions in space have visited our planet tens of thousands of years ago, perhaps preparing our places of power even way back then to coincide with these places of power, perhaps it was God himself aligning and preparing this earth for the future guidance of our biblical people to connect the places to each other. I do not think this is coincidental because I believe everything from the time of creation of the Earth to present is all part of His greater plan for our part in the universe. In closing I would like to put this out there – we cannot begin to think we are the only peoples or creatures in the massive universe, how small our minds would be to resign to this shallow thinking.
Go In Peace
