Holy Places

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.Recorded on February the 16th 2022, at the Meditatio Centre London: https://meditatiocentrelondon.org Created by I AM Sound Academy: https://www.iamsoundacademy.com
