How is it that ancient civilizations were able to maintain their cultures in perfect equilibrium for thousands of years yet ours become dysfunctional within a few decades?

The answer is to look at the legacy of ancient temples, oracles and sacred sites our ancestors left behind.

What can we learn from sacred sites? What they do for us and to us? Beyond the obvious physical temple we enter a world of metaphor, subtle forces and shamanic states of awareness. That’s where the true nature of the true temple exists, the invisible temple.

For decades I've walked countless sacred places around the world, taking in both their spatial and special qualities. After a while it became apparent that sacred sites speak. A mythical, invisible spirit of place is aware of your presence and purpose. It scans your human energy field. Should your PIN match, you engage in an intimate conversation. And your relationship with the temple begins. Eventually you will realize there is a library of knowledge being shared. Its contents are boundless and timeless, the sum of all there is: Universal codes of energy, ancient systems of knowledge, measure and proportion, and how these are applied at any given moment in our life to enhance both your potential and the quality of life around you.

The elements that make the Universe tick —magnetism, water, sacred geometry, sacred measure, sound— converge at sacred sites. By carefully blending these principles together, it is possible to open a portal of possibility to other levels of reality. It is even possible to apply the same principles at home.

Depending on what you are seeking,the experience will alter your consciousness. Which is precisely the ultimate purpose of such places of power.

And that is precisely what our ancestors were up to when they created a grid of tens of thousands of temples all over the world. As you walk through this site I hope you become more aware of the qualities that define sacred space, and that you use this information to benefit all living things on Earth. Including yourself.
