For years now, I'm on a quest
following the old paths, ways that lead to
sacred places,
places which have been revered
by many generations
where you feel something special in the air,
as people come together at those places.
Not only churches or chapels
of the last centuries, but also those ancient
places where megaliths are to be found,
the old stones, the menhirs and dolmens,
those 'stone tables'.
On my quest I travelled my own country,
but also foreign places like France,
the British Isles, Spain.
Those megaliths are everywhere on
the European continent.
What did I look for, when walking those
ancient paths for years, where our ancestors
walked as well, what did I discover?
Well, I was looking for traces of their
experience of the sacred, the mysticism of
Nature, of the tangible and non-tangible,
how our ancestors brought together the worlds
of the visible and invisible in
their own experience.
Did I have any guidelines or map to walk
those paths?
Well, I had a guide, more than one,
and I had books. Those books have been
written by people who walked and
explored these paths before me.
Why do people explore those paths?
What did I want to find? Perhaps I wanted to
receive enlightenment at a specific place,
well, that's a bit exaggerated, but I do
think that I hoped to have a special
spiritual experience, a kind of unveiling of
what I felt intuitively at those places,
but which I could not make tangible
or visible.
Did I find that experience?
No, not in that way.
Nonetheless, being at those places
was meaningful.
Discovering the Divine Peace inside
of yourself. Is that peace only to be found
in chapels? Of course not!
If you are ready to look beyond
the bricks and stones and forms,
you arrive at the power of the place itself.
Look, this is a typical chapel, very close
to my home. What's special about this place:
at the rear of the chapel there lies
a menhir, a megalith, the remains of
a stone circle. It's one of the few which
have been conserved, as the church removed
a lot of them and built on top of
those places a church or a chapel.
This place really is particular:
here the sacred feminine power of the Earth
has been intensively revered. This chapel
continues this veneration: it's the chapel
of our Lady of the Stone.
What does this stone tell us today?
Well, it's not clear to me, but what is
clear, as it's very visible: people come
to this stone in our present times, not
inspired by the Catholic faith, but perhaps
by the same heart's desire of wanting to
connect with the intangible.
Placed upon the stone, there's a geometrical
pattern of a circle, with small stones and
a crystal in the middle. By doing so, someone
has communicated with the place, someone
had an exchange. In that way a special
connection has been made, capturing in
form the intangible and unnamable.
That's also a way of praying.
Recently someone who is also walking the
old paths, told me a story about how she
was attracted to a specific church, which
she visited. When she arrived at the church,
the gate was locked, but at the same time
a person brought the key of the gate.
For her, that was the sign to show her
she really had to be there.
When I asked her "what did you receive
from that visit?", she answered she was not sure,
as she only followed her intuition.
My question and her answer made me think.
What did my quest give to me? No idea!
What did I receive? The question itself
shows an old conditioned way of thinking:
what is the gain? What is the profit when
I act in a certain way?
Perhaps it's not about receiving, but about
giving something, by being present at
that sacred, holy place, with an open mind
and an open heart. Perhaps it's by
giving, in a pure and complete way, that you
can receive. Probably it's something
reciprocal: giving, opening and then
receiving.
That's what reflecting is about, mirroring :
noticing on the outside of things
your internal experiences
and reflecting what's inside of you to the
outside world.
In that way you give something to the place,
and the place offers you something in return.
Isn't it meaningful to continue honoring
these ancient places, to continue cleaning
them, to continue adding some prayers
and light?
Knowing that these places are the mirror
of our interior, of our inner temple.
In the sequel of this video I invite you
to join me further on my quest in
understanding the meaning of these sacred
places, and why I continue this quest for
several years now.
Eventually, what does this quest bring me?
Perhaps you recognise something in my story,
perhaps these places speak to you as well,
perhaps you want to share your thoughts.
Do write down your comments,
I'm so grateful meeting you there.
Thank you for watching.
