“Sacred Spaces”

Service conducted by

Sunday Bulletin

As human beings we explore all manner of time and space. Our physical and mental existence lends itself to such experience. Yet, throughout human history, certain places and spaces have been visited and revisited often for reasons we cannot explain. Perhaps these spaces attract us for their beauty, for their expansiveness or for their historical and spiritual memories. They “speak” to us of past civilizations or bring vibrations of Nature’s own voice. These holy places and sites of pilgrimage seem to call us. Yet, how we experience them is purely subjective. Sacred spaces have a language that we continually try to decipher. It is both deeply personal to us and yet not confined to any one individual.

 

“Within you exists a realm undiscovered, untouched—a realm not yet revealed to theology or science; not yet fully revealed to you.

You know it exists in your consciousness, for it continually makes itself known:

Silently dawning, gradually reaching into your own awareness with illuminations that will never diminish or disappear.

It is the kingdom of your soul.”

—Swami Kamalananda, Reflections on Still Waters
