While studying for the mid term exam I came across some very interesting examples of axioms for the study of a sacred place. Lane talks about finding a clearing in the woods above the Mississippi River that he considers a sacred place. This field is very powerful and the place choose him, he did not choose it. This is the first axiom, a sacred place chooses you, you don't choose it. He describes this place as, "utterly peaceful and mysterious" and a mystical meeting was going to take place. He met simply with a deer but felt an enormous joy. This is fascinating how sitting in one place for a day could change your life. Finding a random clearing, spontaneously, is special and shows how sacred places can never be anticipated. They come out of nowhere and take you by surprise. This is very powerful and can be life changing.
