Holy sites - they must serve to help you find the truly sacred place that is within you
Many people go to India, Egypt, Greece, Israel or other parts of the world to follow in the footsteps of the Initiates who lived there thousands of years ago. They are hoping to find traces of the spirit that once breathed there, but that spirit is no longer there; it has gone elsewhere. This does not mean that you should not visit the places where saints and Initiates once lived if you want to, but be sure to keep in mind that these places should mainly serve to encourage you to seek the only truly sacred place, which is within you. You can visit all the holy places on the face of the earth, but if you fail to find this holy place within yourself, you will feel nothing and find nothing. You will remain as poor, empty and dissatisfied as ever. So, work to create the right inner conditions and then, wherever you are, you will feel in communion with all the great spirits who have incarnated on earth, and you will be nourished by their wisdom and love.
Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
