Hello Pligrim

We can find quiet and peaceful place in and around our homes. we can find spots that are more powerful or energizing than others. We often find our places of worship more sacred or holy than other places. There are public and simi-public places in every ad that have been consider energizing or holy in every land. Many of these locations, spots, and places have been the goals of pilgrims.

Americans don't have to go to India or the "Holy Land" to find such places of pilgrimage. There are many in each and every State.

There may be no one of them perfect of everyone. However, I bet that you can find more than fitting for you in your State. Please tell me of ones that you have found.

The Hyperborian's Education

He was compendiously taught even though his teachers communicated to each only that part of wisdom which was appropriate to him.

There were psychological requirements. One was an easy, perhaps natural, gentleness called culture.

There was a daily program that began with a solitary walk to an appropriately quiet place. The most sacred place handily available was considered the best choice.

Friendship was practiced. The removal of strife from relationships was advised and taught. The younger were taught to subdue their anger when with elders. Elders were taught to correct or admonish the younger softly and cautiously.

Symbols were used in instruction. Their significance and arcane intentions, mostly aimed toward morality and reality, were freed from their enigmatic form.
