Hello and welcome to the lecture on sacred places. There are numerous sacred places in the world. That's because our experiences in the world are subjective. One person's idea and experience of what is sacred can be different from another's. And it all can be influenced by personal factors like timing and Astro cartography. So what I would like to do in this lecture is share some locations where I have had powerful spiritual experiences.

These are genuine Universal Power places, and hopefully my introduction will inspire you to visit them and have experiences of your own. I've also detailed accounts of all my experience in these places and many more in the course entitled hypnotherapy, mysticism and darkness, a podcast seminar. So if you're interested, please feel free Check that course out. Now in terms of spiritual awakening, the number one spot that I have experienced that towers above all the rest is in southeastern India. southeastern India is the home of own Oh Academy, formerly known as oneness University, and it's also the home of Oroville. Both our global institutions dedicated to raising spiritual awareness by providing awakening experiences and connection to community.

Ironically, they both have golden balls at their center, and their temples are loaded with sacred geometry. Both locations are radiating beacons of spiritual energy for the entire planet. And they're located on amplified hotspots within the earth energy grid. The experiences I've had there have been the most powerful and transformative of my life to date. So I'd like to mention o and o Academy, first. This organization literally exploded onto the global global scene as a spiritual center of enlightenment in the 1990s.

The core of its training originally emanated from a visionary ball of light that could be transferred via a phenomenon known as the Oneness diksha, which we'll touch on a little bit later in this course. Since Ono has evolved into a training academy for spiritual awakening, with three campuses and an enormous temple, they've taken millions of students from around the world through their courses, workshops and retreats. And you can also connect with them online if you want to. So after taking some of their courses, that completely opened me up and being from the United States, it's sometimes it's hard for me to fathom that such an incredible place of positive energy like this, even exist and sustain itself in the world. It's like it's so far removed from my personal culture. Yet it continues to flourish.

Until today, we're still going strong. So its existence to me is kind of mind boggling. Oroville is a city dedicated to human unity established by the mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. It was founded in 1968. At the center of Oroville there is a spectacular golden geodesic dome dedicated to peace, called the Matrimandir construction on that began in 1971. And it took 37 years to complete.

And the meditation hall is centered in the in the middle of the ball. So you can visit it, it's open to visitors, but it is not a tourist destination. Instead, it's designed to be a place for individual silent concentration to achieve quiet, physical and mental states. When I was there, the the experience I had was extremely profound. I was oppressed and I was very inspired. So if you get a chance, check it out.

The second place I'd like to mention is the Findhorn foundation in northern Scotland. It was founded in 1962. And the Findhorn Foundation's extraordinary journey started from just a tiny band of spiritual seekers, and has since morphed into a world center of transformation. It's essentially a dynamic experience where everyday life is guided by the inner voice of spirit. And so when I was there, I stayed there for nine days, I worked in the gardens and had met incredible people and attended the workshops and the experience there was absolutely magical. So if you can make it to Northern Scotland, I highly recommend it.

The third place I'd like to mention is Hawaii. There are very few places in the world that are like to Hawaii where earth energy is continually being spilled onto the surface in the form of volcanic activity. So the earth energy there is very, very strong and My experiences there were incredible. So I had when I first got there, I was invaded by what I would say were protectors of the island. They were spiritual, I could see them. But they were not physical, very overpowering.

They came in and checked me out before I could get on the island. I had incredible emotional purging experiences. And then I was cloaked by this bizarre energy of depression when I went to visit a sacred site that was being trashed by tourists. And so after I came back from Hawaii for the first time, I couldn't believe how people could go there and be tourists because the spiritual energy is so strong. So if you ever want to go take your retreat or go someplace where there's really amped up spiritual energy, I highly recommend going to Hawaii. Okay, number four.

The fourth place I'd like to mention is actually it's on my bucket list. I've never been there, but it's somewhere I want to go and it's Sedona, Arizona. So it's a metal A physical tourist destination in Sedona there is apparently a number of energy vortexes coming out of the earth. And I think, from what I've heard, and what little I've read, they can actually be measured by scientific equipment. So if you want to go and experience some intense earth energy, highly recommend going to Sedona plus the geology is really cool. So that in and of itself would make a great trip.

So the next locations I'd like to tell you about are places I've visited in our, their nature location. So I'm kind of a nature guy. So I resonate very strongly with nature. And so if you go to visit these locations, and you're looking for a spiritual experience, you need to get off the beaten track. So you have to get away from where all the tourists go and most most places are, it's pretty easy to do. But the first one I'd like to mention is Glacier National Park, in northern Montana in the United States.

So my experiences in Glacier were incredible. I've had an incredible healing interactions with animal totems. There's a incredible clearing of depression, which cleared me out to set up new experiences for a new beginning in life. And they're also documented vortexes, especially on the western flank of the Rocky Mountains there. Okay, number six on my recommendation list is Yellowstone National Park. So Yellowstone like Hawaii is one of the few places on the planet where earth energy is continually being spewed on the planet in the form of geysers.

So it's not like counting activity, but it's hot water that's being shot into the air and there's hot springs everywhere. It's a phenomenal thing, even if you're just for tours, but if you get off the beaten track and you go walking into backcountry Yellowstone, my experience was there have had some incredible interactions with animal totems. There have been strong emotional releases. There were I had an experience where things manifested Physically, which is which had was the result from the dream I had the night before. So things kind of appeared out of nowhere. And then also some of my fears were manifested, so is very dynamic place.

And then the group I was traveling with, we all had our separate animal Totem experiences them, some of them are quite intense. So, so if you get a chance to go to Yellowstone, I highly recommend you check it out and make sure to get off the beaten track. So get off the pavement, you don't have to go too far. If you walk half a mile, you're not going to see anybody. So check it out. Number seven on the list.

Next place I'd like to mention are the Cascade Mountains of Western Washington, Western Oregon and Northern California, United States. These are high energy zones that commonly get overlooked by metaphysical people. There's two mountains in particular that I've experienced had very strong spiritual experiences. One is Mount Shasta, that's in Northern California. And that is recognized sort of as a metaphysical tourist destination. There's a small town there but the the earth energies are very heightened there.

And apparently there's a, you know, some living creatures in the mountain called the luminaries, I didn't really connect with them. But the retreat retreat I went on to Mount Shasta was an added something very incredible physical spiritual experiences that which really amped up some of my healing work. So it's pretty fascinating. The other mountain in the Cascade Range is the one to the furthest north. So once I've had a lot of experience so it is called mountain Baker. Now Mount Baker is about 45 minutes from the town of Bellingham Washington.

It's a national park. in Mount Baker, I've had a number of emotional healings because I used to go there when I lived in Bellingham when I was working in the hospital and I could go heal myself when when I was having problems like with entities or things like that, that were stuck on to my aura and also went there to help heal many times when I was going through a divorce, and also in the Mount Baker area. One time I actually had an experience where angelic beings came through in the physical and that was like absolutely phenomenal. So not as not as well known as the metaphysical areas, Mount Shasta, but Mount Baker is definitely one of those. So number eight on the list is Olympic National Park, which is the home of Mount Olympus. It's on the Olympic Peninsula of the state of Washington.

And it's a protected area. It's a large national park. And it's a it's a it's an old growth rain forest. So it's just incredible magical Fairy Tale Forest where the trees are like 12 feet across and there's, there's you know moss everywhere the animals. There's lots of animals and interaction with wildlife if you want that. And Mount Olympus is another place we're actually had an experience where angelic beings came threw in in the physical form a gave me a major emotional healing.

So very another high energy magical place. So that's Olympic National Park on Western Washington. And then the last place I just like to mention in passing is, is the state of Alaska. So just almost everywhere in Alaska is carries incredibly high earth energy because it's untouched. It's enormous. And it's definitely a living landscape.

And again, you want to get away from Anchorage and Fairbanks. But if you get a chance to go to Alaska, you will have definitely have some earth energy experiences there. So the big key is in Alaska, so go visit it. Okay, so that's it for this lecture on sacred places. Hopefully, it's inspired you to go visit these incredible places and hopefully have some heightened spiritual experience of your own. So let's keep moving and move on to the next lecture and exercises.

I'll see you there.
