What is it?

The ability to see through – through time, through layers of sand, through unimaginable distances, through symbols on stone and the words of a friend. Contact with previous civilizations is possible.

The ability to receive a signal and transform it into moments spent breathing nearby, into a lifestyle, into temples carved into cliffs, into constellations, into poetry and stories, into roads and into the journey.

Why?

On the body of the planet, there are certain Places. When we walk through this Place with utmost attention, pressing into this point of the planet with our right and left feet. When our heart beats in sync with these conscious steps, and inside, there’s an accepting emptiness.

Then, the Place begins to breathe through us. To hear with our ears. To be silent with us. To speak through our eyes and voice. It comes to life and appears within us. With all the volume of truth that our blood and consciousness can hold.

And when we leave this Place, it remains. It stays within us. It becomes encoded in our system, creating an indefinite thread along which we can find ourselves back there in a fraction of a second.

There, and here, at the same time. It’s not a memory, it doesn’t require effort or expense. It’s a natural coexistence. An instant attraction – love. Life weaves lives with these threads.

Petra: Points of Connection

The desert is an ocean without water. A bastion stronghold of ancient civilizations and our present. Here are points where contact between the ancients and us is possible. Little Petra and Petra itself are the most crucial and beautiful points of connection.
