"Anyone who has the experience of the presence of God, or the movement of Knowledge within themselves, will know what is sacred." [1]
What is sacred
"What is sacred is not an object. It is not a book. It is not a place. It is not even an event. These are all things in time through which the sacred moves." [1]
"In some traditions the Earth itself is considered sacred—-the entire Earth, not one particular place. But the Earth is not sacred; it is just the Earth." [1]
"Sexuality is very important. It is something sacred to preserve. It is where life force is exchanged in the physical world. It is an expression of vulnerability and intimacy. Do not take it lightly. Do not engage in it casually. Do not use it for personal gratification."[2]
