Holy Places

- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- All cultures, as far as I know, have holy places. Our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, by their very nature nomadic, and seem to have carried out ceremonies at holy places like Lascaux and Chauvet caves. When people settled in the Neolithic, starting twelve thousand years ago, they were building ceremonial structures, including standing stones and stone circles. Some were built before settled agriculture began. Even in atheist regimes where there's an explicit denial of the sacred and of the holy, the need for holy places persists, like the mausoleum of Lenin in Red Square, in Moscow, to which people went on pilgrimages, rather in the same way Christians visit the relics of saints.

I can't get enough of this man's ideas he has a beautifully practical way of seeing the world
I love and am so grateful for Rupert Sheldrake. He (amongst a few others) has fundamentally changed my life.
Agreed.
Who else did? I'd like to search them and learn from them if they speak about similar things as Rupert does. :)
@@hajeralanazi8379 Terence Mckenna, Carl Sagan, Bill Hicks, Duncan Trussell, George Carlin, Paul Stamets, Batel Skater... A few more, but you keep seeking and you will find them, for you. Keep an open mind and a skeptic mindset and you'll find some answers in your soul.
@@victoryoso4955 thank you dearest appreciate it
@@hajeralanazi8379 Look for Carl Gustav Jung. And goo deeper with his deeper stuff.
We get to morphically resonate with Rupert's warmheartedness and brilliance in this lovely lecture that plumbs the past and the future.

imho: Rupert Sheldrake is one of the few people that can talk about religion without mixing his message with politics. I find that to be a very lovely quality in the man.
I always teach sheldrake in my morals and ethics class
Lucky students
I love the idea of taking our ancient sites and using them for dream incubation. This morning upon waking, I wrote my dream from the night before and then went to my e-mail where I found an invitation from Robert Moss to join him in a dream workshop. Then, and I am not certain how I found your talk, but there you were talking about holy places, pilgrimage, and dream incubation. Wonderful synchronicity. Enjoyed your talk so very much. Just completed a carving called 'The Dreaming Women of Malta. Such magic in the world!
I was at university and studied history at exactly the same time as Robert Moss.
I was always used that way in ancient worlds.
magical work, this man does
Brilliant!
If the holy place connects heaven and earth, like the trunk of a great tree, the paths of pilgrims are the roots (routes) forming conductors far and wide.
I actually enjoy congregating around a lighted candle, being with friends, and singing a song... with the notable exception that is that I am always then one year older. Gracias por tu video. RT sends, envía, Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México...
I love this talk, a tug to the heart.
Love this, from an Archaeological point of view. Numinous is a lovely word. I had never thought about a link between standing stones and spires before, Mr Sheldrake is always so fascinating.
Use as a place to sleep is a phenomenal use for churches...I think traditionally cathedrals and churches were places of healing, respite and meditation... churches were perhaps used as energy centers as well and maybe the spires were a sort of conductor.
Going into a church for sight seeing without lighting a candle, -no way! We do that and we think very deeply at the dead, the ill and the needy people we know. It is magic. Greetings from Switzerland!
It is absolute bullshit, not magic, except for the fraudulent magical grifters.
thanks you learned me something today ..
Brilliant talk. Thank you 🙏
Simply, the earth is the holiest place of all. It provides for our survival, is chock full of magic and miracle, it is all we should hold sacred...
There is a sacred fire that is burning for more than 1500 years in a Zoroastrian temple in Iran. Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest religions dating back as far as 1,500 BC. Similar to the Abrahamic faiths, Zoroastrianism also makes mention to heaven and hell, judgement after death and free will leading some scholars to believe Zoroastrianism influenced many faiths that came after it.
I come from the place where Zoroaststrism was practised in the past. 2 weeks ago I hiked one of the Cacussian mountain " Beshbarmakh" famous for its mysterious history, and pilgrimage visit. That day the top of the mountain was in fog. Its was so mystical to climb and have no vision as if sky and earth merged and hold on to one giant rock..
Thank you so much for your wonderful work.
You are awesome and my friends agree!
Much love and respect to you, Rupert, from Hyderabad
Namaste! Much thanks to sharing your knowledge. All lifeforms on Earth, came out of womb of Mother Earth. Reconnecting with Holy man-made Structures, trees, mountains, rivers, Stones and such, makes much sense.
Thank you Rupert ❤ 🙏
I so admire you Mr Sheldrake for all this universal knowledge.
Love the daffodils
"Everywhere is holy".... I agree with that.
Rupert is a polymath who knows about the work of T.C. Lethbridge and F.W. Holiday who both came up with a similar interesting hypothesis about ley lines and energy and parallel realities.
Lethbridge also out of Cambridge University was convinced by Field theories and argued that magnetic fields were associated with water, mountains, deserts and open spaces. He believed that events could be recorded on objects like stones that people experienced accidentally as in seeing ghosts, or deliberately as when engaging in dowsing or psychrometry.
Why are Chancels in churches crooked again this leads back to the Sun, Sunrise and the magnetic field of the Sun and how it affects us on earth according to the late Rev Hugh Benson of Plymouth who wrote a letter to the Times explaining why he thought this was about the Sun and Fields.
Beautiful talk, Rupert. I'm now recovering from a flu it seems. This really helps, thank you!
My great passion was hiking High Sierras half a century, people asked, "what do you do for a week up there?!" ~~ lots of things really fish scenery hike remotely looking for holy place's Native American hangouts/encampments rocky areas lookouts were my goals, often near springs and always inhabited w very strange feelings, even beings from other dimensions convinced be me when entering this precise area of altered frequency sacred resonance!
Such erudition, eloquence and wisdom. Thanks again Dr Sheldrake for yet another highly informative and wonderful lecture!
Anywhere you have people congregating around a candle or the hearth place of a family/tribal fire is the core of wholeness
#true 💛🧡
If theyre all vaccintad with a covid 19 vaccine. That fire in the core is no longer whole.It's diminished.
John Butler has posted a guide to meditation with the Jesus Prayer on you tube, and many wonderful videos. He received his mantra from a meditation school in London 60 years ago.
What an incredible talk from Dr. Rupert Sheldrake. I respect him so much. 🙏🤍🙏
Interestingly (or not, as you like), I'm not a religious person but am very spiritual. I'm also in a family who are all in tourism and hospitality. For all these decades in my adult life, I have turned away from the tourist attractions and tours, instead visiting all of the religious sites at my destination. There was no interest in tours or guides. I went there to pray, only to pray. I spend my holidays praying.
We're perfectly at liberty to pray (and fast, if we so choose) for the entirety of our holiday. It's an well-rounded, consolidated reminder of the divine gift of free will.
Circumambulation is a practice that I try and do when at special locations or events. I was introduced to it in Nepal at a Buddhist temple.
what a lovely and brilliant man, wish i had known about rupert sooner. i have always been fascinated by the old worlds and now i will prominently make it my goal to visit and document all of this and to encourage everyone i meet to do the same.
A truly insightful presentation of our deepest inner longings for enlightenment, calmness and spirituality.
You sound like a very centered person and it’s been a pleasure to listen to your talk
Thanks so much for sharing, I've always been fascinated by medieval culture- and the memetics of pilgrimage, for learning, healing and war- and god knows what else.
Something in one of your interviews made me pull closer to the faith of my youth, yet keep a healthy distance from its oppressive aspects. (I believe the word for it is 'hallelujah'.:-) At the age of 5, but I had a spontaneous, profound STE involving Jesus Christ. Since my parents were agnostic and I'd never been to church, the organic nature of the STE felt akin to interaction with a fairy tale character...at first.
What prompted the experience was somewhat traumatic - to me at the time, but nothing dangerous or abusive occurred. Looking back, I see how the love I felt in the interaction - whether merely perceived or truly experienced - prevented the nastier side of southern Protestant evangelical fear-mongering from having its way with me.
My decision to reconnect with the tsunami of Christ's love - for all of us - has made meditation deeper and more rewarding, helped alleviate depression and discouraged thoughts of exiting life early. More to the point, I've had meaningful 'dialog' with loved ones who've crossed over. (I'm mediumistic anyway; now I'm reminded of those abilities.)
Thank you, Dr. Sheldrake, for your dedication, great vibes and continuing research into consciousness. It matters greatly and so do you.
2:11 "...the mammoth's tusk of ivory is pleasant to engrave, but most of all we like to scrawl enormous murals on the wall, huge pictures in our cave". This is a random extract I remember from a half-forgotten poem I heard in primary school in Lancashire in the 1970s, which jumped back into my memory, when watching this clip :)
There's a phone app of lightning strikes in real time. The location can be zoomed in precisely. In a storm last year I noted a nearby strike, which indicated a triangle of grass in a fork in the road. I walked past the next day and there was a burnt patch of grass in exactly the spot indicted, so church spire strikes should be easy to plot.
24:00 tourism = secular form of pilgrimage. Very interesting. 44:20 Holy places at home 52:40 Holy places is about connection
I do enjoy being in the holiest of holies...
Just go on pilgrimage - it can be near or far - but a wonderful way to connect with the Divine (however you perceive that!) I go thursday!
I'd love Rupert to sit down with Jordan Peterson to discuss Christianity and consciousness.
Great idea! How should we suggest it to them?
Russian people travel not only to Lenin's Masoleum, that is a very derogatory statement. There are many holy and powerful places in a huge territory of what used to be Soviet Union. Lake Baikal, Altai mountains are the most energetucally charged broadcasting energy points. Shamanism, the main carrier of sacred knowledge about the Earth and spirit, originated originated around lake Baikal. The list can go on...
I think you misunderstood his point - that even the officially atheist Soviet Union had what in effect was a state-sanctioned holy shrine. He was not suggesting there aren't many holy places in the former USSR. Given everything he says in this talk it would be very strange if he did.
Excellent!
The whole identity of European cities is there cathedrals so I always tell people that if you don’t go there you have no idea about the city you’re in
...in otherwords: Many humans imbue objects (any material) with a third consciousness - the dinos and plants that made the oil that made the plastic, that's in the object. If wood the the tree. I am a dabbler in guitar repairs and modifications and I know wood and, in effect, the trees that grow the wood. Japanese and Australian musical instruments introduced me to Brother Bamboo (ancient Chinese...Sister Bambaa?) so there is a giant grass that serves many musical needs and it is bamboo. Humans imbue objects with a consciousness that is a hybrid of the person who (usually unconsciously) loves the object and the spirits that left their bones for the physical idea. Morphic as it gets. Loving an object is actually very conscious. Folk need to trust their wistful feelings about their stuff AND (eeeeuuuuwwww!) other people's stuff. I have issues with other people's stuff.
Sometimes it is hard to know when we are over-thinking things and when we are not thinking enough. If we are always seeking a spiritual high then we may be in danger of being on spiritual bypass, but equally we should pay close attention to our intuition, and submit to our own instinctive spiritual attractions and responses.
You may enjoy the Prehistory Guys you tube channel, formerly Standing With Stones. They dig deep on the history of stone monuments and earthworks, mostly in Great Britain.
As far as I know it is also a question of the energie of the geometry and the used materials of the temples what energie they have. Especially in india. Old and well done temples.
WoW >>> Mr. Sheldrake for president of the World !!
Some kind of sonic resonance would cause the crystalline structure to vibrate at a specific frequency. Science! Measure the vibrating bits.
I've always been curious about obelisks.. Freemasons seem to be obsessed with them...
28:32 why is that censored??!
Ponder events, now I ponder your words. As my saying is. The Why is so much more important than the What. So why the change of the meditation prayer? The place, the person whom one is with, or the event? Thank you for your teachings.
Haha, the I AM logo is next to a string that leads to a huge spider 😱🙈 It’s like he’s trying to say he exists
Have you read much about Ley lines and how they coincide with sacred places?
Is the sun conscious? Yup. It radiates in ways that only an old toothless sun-gazer might understand but don't explain it, again, it's in the paper, my friend and maybe these trees like your books. I actually am a sun-gazer (30 years of gazing) due to Carlos Castaneda's description of sun-gazing, back in the eighties when shrooms were quite manifest in our festivals. I danced naked at the California Jam in 1974, got my pic in the rock press. The crystalline structure of the smooth stone in your hand is trillions of bits of information, a rock is the model for the crystalline skeleton of the quantum computer. It's right in our faces, our bloody faces. I've been living the Battle of Britain for a half-century and I want to go home. Sci-guys only need map the structure in a digital format. How? I'm a guitar player, not a physicist, dammitt.
The old World 🌎🌍 they built the cathedral with sacred geometry .
Marble and granite .
So we cannot duplicate today the old World Buildings.
It’s sad the Reformation was so detached from humanity
So restful to listen to....an I'm an atheist!!!
Surprised and disappointed that Rupert went along with the orthodox narrative and referred to the age of the great pyramid as being only around four thousand years old considering there is scant evidence for this and would have thought he would have at least questioned the presumed doctrine which is so obviously dubious.
Im surprised he never mentioned the Cathars.
lightning doesn’t breach the atmosphere, is it really from the heavens?
Would there still be any attempt to rehabilitate religion in a world where you didn't have to die while trying to make a living?
"The vast majority of God" 😂 Rupert knows the Trinitarian God is fully present everywhere, I think.
Western religion: There are no gods there is lust for power. The power of the lord is sacred human life is not.
R.S. ..............please stay away from Kembleford it's like the UKs version of Chicago
looked it up according to google earth it dos'nt exist......
'Holiness' and 'spirituality' only work for the bourgeois these days.
Great talk. Thank you!
