The energy of a holy place

...and the energy of an 'unholy' place....

It's also interesting when one visits a place/area and for no particular reason one starts to feel uncomfortable...getting bad vibes so to speak....then you find out that in the past atrocities have taken place there ...

Indigenous Tribes Push Back Against Evangelical Missionaries

It's really sad how these evilgelical missionaries are forcing their beliefs (by bribery, and brain washing) onto others, attempting to destroy the indigenous people's language, culture and traditions ... a way of life which no doubt dates back before the 'invention' of Christianity...

The times I've gone, I go with some plan. I intend to experience the place. I go open to it. So when the environment to cultivate that experience is found there, I can indulge in the pleasant sensations with some emotional gravitas.

Reflecting on when I was younger and passed up such opportunities for gameboy, I was not open to it, by choice or unawareness. I was open to gameboy. So the emotional experience was of playing gameboy instead. Like a dog who chews on a bone and misses the sunset. I imagine A wise one neither weighs value of, nor takes pleasure in either. As the sun will set and the bone will wear away; the game will be beat or batteries die and equally it will be time to leave such a place for one perceived less holy. So instead, take what the holy place has shown you. Take that with you. That emotional weight of peace, calm, and tranquility and pleasant sensations and take them with you. As a kid I always used to think there could be secret treasure buried in strange places. Sometimes I think there is and I'm getting away with it when I have an opportunity to call forth that which can be taken from holy places.

It really comes from within anyway, doesn't it? They're like megaphones of spirituality or a roadmap reminding us but I mean...we make the feeling don't we? So can't we just always make it?

It goes further … objects, relics for example can have a presence if we are sensitive to it … and even if not.

The idea of osmosis, energy fields, sacred space etc can with time expand …

• All places, inner and outer have a sacred, spiritual or zenith potential
• We are the bubble of our own projection and interpretation, a spiritual meme if you will
• It is the still zafu that generates the most movement

And now back to the time and place …

A compilation of the most popular music circulating the Sahara desert on the unofficial network of cellphones -- where mp3s are stored, played, and traded in very literal peer to peer bluetooth transfers. The contemporary West African sound from the new school of DIY production with little or no commercial release outside of their locales, from spaced out Tuareg Autotune, Ivorian Club Jams, Mauritanian Synth, and Malian Hip Hop electro. Collected from memory cards by and released on cassette, the vinyl comes after a years plus of tracking down the composers.
