In the first couple of chapters, Lane talks about the four axioms to what a sacred place is; the first being that people do not choose their sacred place, but it chooses them. This makes sense to me, considering the places I find sacred and transcendental are places I would have never chosen for myself, showing that the most meaningful places are locations that people don’t get to select for themselves.
The second principle was that a place does not have to be aesthetic or significant in any way, even “ordinary” places can be sacred.
The third guideline is that not everybody will share the same sacred place. It says “a sacred place can be tred upon without being entered,” which states that a person can walk into a sacred area unknowingly because the place is not sacred to them.
The last axiom in less words says that sacred places are locations where people who find it sacred can live nearby or be a visitor. It says based on location, a person will find a space sacred.
