Lanes wrote “The sacred center is thus essentially a non-geographical entity, a created thing, ultimately an illusion, yet, paradoxically, also a place more real than real.” (2002, pg. 73)
My interpretation of the quote is the sacred center is really everything you remember and feel about that moment, not only the geographical place. The sacred center is different to each individual person because it really is the place in a person’s imagination. I think when a person experiences something sacred, the only way they can experience it again is through their mind and memory. The sacred place is not about the actual location, but it’s about what happens in that location and the state of mind that people experience at that certain spot.
