Amazing Holy places to visit. What is behind...
2007-09-05 00:46:00 Many times in the past I wondered about what is going on with all these places that attract so many people who are religious or even at the other end, atheists. What is the concept that attracts them? Why do they visit places like Glastonbury, Stonehenge, The 3 pyramids of Egypt, The Sphinx of Egypt? Is it hope? Do they know something that others ignore? Do they ?see? something that other cannot see? One thing I understood is that I, too, asked many questions. So I thought perhaps all these people go to these places (besides of plain tourism interest) because they feel that questions may get an answer or they feel that different thing by just being in these places. Indeed all these places are connected with various movements (religious or philosophical) counting thousands of years back. Many modern and new age or Gnostic movements are strongly connected with these places. So, once again, I made this research. Look what I?ve found. These articles will be very informative, so I decide... More About: Places , Amazing , Visit , Holy
