If you like that sensation, you should spend the night at Monument Valley or Canyon de Chelly or Chaco Canyon. It's amazing that the power of such places has not been dissapated by humans yet. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Vaj > To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 7:08 AM > Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: New TM school in KS to cost $500 million - top students know Geography > > > Fascinating. This places the actual physical center near the sacred site of Bear Butte--the place where Crazy Horse and Geronimo achieved siddhi--and one of the most powerful sacred sites I've ever experienced. Ritual activity in this area goes back over 10,000 years and is sacred to the Sioux and the Cheyenne. It's their "Mt. Sinai". If you are ever in this area, it's worth the day hike or better, an overnight. It will blow your mind. > > > There were still medicine men taking initiates in for the 3-day and night vigil and fast/visioning when I was there last--consequently you can only approach the summit by one path, as completely surrounding the path are hundreds of old magical circles in stone that various shamans had sat in over history. The trees all along the path are all strewn with cloth used to hold offerings to the Great Spirit. Bear Butte is unique in that to the east of it lies the high plains and to the west the Black Hills, so Bear Butte stands like a lone sentinel and gateway to the Black Hills. > > > This is also where the cave where the sacred arrows were received. Unfortunately the US military used the cave for target practice in the last century and it is damaged but visitors to this day still spontaneously catch the smell of burning sweet grass. > > > On Jan 19, 2007, at 1:09 AM, allanrosenzweig wrote: > > > "top, 'first-class' intelligentsia" know their Geography and American > > History.
