Peter Russell

Never forget where liest the holiest power of all

Be aware of the sacred site . . .
Sacred sites are sacred because our
     response to them is sacred.
There is a resonance between the sacred
     within and the sacred without . . .

The sacred is within our hearts . . .

Visit sacred sites, yes.  Bathe in the
     resonance, inspire the divine.
But never forget where lies the holiest
     power of all.   

Be aware of the sacred site

Be aware of the sacred site.
It brings us feelings of awe, of presence,
of divinity ...
Feelings that seem to come from the heart
of the universe herself.
Be not, however, beholden to the site...
The sacred is within our hearts.
It is ours whenever and wherever we are.
This is the teaching these sites have
to offer us --
the redemption of our sanctity.
