Sacred Sites: The Alchemy Ethics

By Freya Sampson - Custodian Eartheart

Sacred: contextual meaning; deserving veneration: indicating great respect and reverence.

Since the Industrial Revolution began in 1760, life on our planet has been on a slippery slope toward mass extinction.

In our race to make life easier for ourselves, we have inadvertently, as a global culture, been moving in a rapid direction that is quite the opposite of respectful, reverent and sacred, in the way we treat our planet, environment and ecology. Yet, when we have an opportunity to travel, literally tens and hundreds of thousands of people journey to see the world’s natural wonders and to witness the archaic, prehistoric megaliths around our planet, which are all sacred sites to the original peoples of that area.

What is it about these ‘Sacred Sites’, that capture one’s attention, that fascinates and beckon to humanity?

We stand in awe of these mystical places for many reasons: Our global cultures nostalgia for the archaic Our desire to know ourselves and our unique place in the universe Their sheer stature and beauty Their seemingly impossible locations Their precise construction or gargantuan size, which we are unable to replicate even with the most modern technology available in 2020.

Their subject matter, what they consist of physically and metaphysically.Their arrangement in aligning to constellations in the heavens, their rising and setting and solar processional alignments.

Their purpose and let’s face it, we have very little idea of this. The feeling, which is evoked in our being when we gaze upon images of them or when we are literally standing in front of them The mystery of synchronicity that leads one to be present at a sacred site, and that which occurs around and within them. The sense that there is something they are asking of us to remember and become.

Given we, as a global culture, have very little idea of our true ancient origins, is it any wonder that we have, by and large, forgotten why we are drawn to sacred sites and how to behave when we actually visit.

It’s not like there are any units you can take in school to learn about this. Nor is there an Enlightenment 101 tertiary course available, which educates one as to the ethical alchemical practices for life and sacred sites.

This is knowledge gathered, piece by piece, through

“There is very little absolute truth in the world, as truth is determined primarily by point of view.”

relentless, fearless seeking, born from a yearning within the heart and soul.

So, what does all this have to do with the down to Earth practicalities of ethics for visiting sacred sites?

First, let’s understand what ethics truly are. Ethics are born from a set of values, which come from a person’s underlying beliefs. Beliefs that exist within the subconscious mind. In the Article/Interview ‘What is Community?’, Dr Uncle Noel Nannup (read the story HERE), spoke in- depth about culture and how conflict has arisen between the peoples of the world, due to their varying sets of values and understandings about life. It is what we call ‘culture’ and they don’t always align.

There’s a saying, which to me, describes the difficulty of aligning values systems. ‘It is easier to put a camel through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.’

What exists within one’s beliefs matrix, defines our subjective version of reality. There is very little absolute truth in the world, as truth is determined primarily by point of view. This is why mystery schools were born. To explore the nature of reality, in the pursuit of absolute truth.

Many of the principles within the teachings of the mystery schools are those which have been put into practice to create the megalithic structures, those which we call sacred sites, commonly known as pyramids, henges and alignments.

The principles, from which they are created, are those that are found both in nature and in the wonders of the world. These are observed through the common thread of mathematics and geometry, which is why the term ‘sacred geometry’ was born. It describes the patterns and shapes from which creation flows and continues to flow through creation.

This language and culture unites all cultures and languages, for it matters not which dialect one speaks, nor the tonality of skin, nor creed, it is the one absolute unifying language which nature and divinity vibrate to, no matter where you are in the world or to which planet you travel.

The two other universal fundamentals are love and gratitude; how we feel when we give or receive these energies freely.

Next month we explore some sacred geometry principles and universal truths and how they relate to simple techniques for good practice within and around sacred sites.
