the order of the day at the moment seems to be wavering between ecological crisis denial – ecological crisis activism and ecological crisis pontification – ecological crisis ‘band aid’ solutions and so on…
perhaps a new approach is needed…
across cultures temples have never only been buildings
they are thresholds – places where humans experience their relationship with the earth and the wider cosmos
the crystal temple attempts to present this experience in an age where ecology – science – technology and magic might learn to coexist by:
creating an environment in which people can engage with ancient wisdom on how to live and the purpose of existence
liminal offerings
drawing from ancient wisdom and scientific awareness – the temple contains a series of *liminal offerings- including the film eternity trees hell and us at the centre of the temple
these offerings are designed to give the viewer experiences centred on oneness – vibration and our place in the cosmos – rather than impending disaster – anthropocentricity and polemicism – offered as a potential solution to our current ecological crisis
the temple contains chambers dedicated to different forms of knowledge – wisdom and reflection – places where science – ecology – wisdom and ancient language meet – offering us experiences for us to interpret as we see fit…
two temples bound by ritual
this digital crystal temple is linked with a physical forest crystal temple on full moons – equinoxes and solstices – a symbolic system connecting the outer world with the inner world
the two temples together provide a space where we may experience the eternal and infinite nature of the universe and perhaps lift the veil
a crystal temple and ancient magic
a crystal temple incorporates ancient magic – where early traditions explored the hidden patterns linking nature – consciousness – and the symbolic world
seasonal ceremonies
ancient wisdom and living language
the teachings that inform the crystal temple draw on aramaic traditions where language itself is ecological and magical
this tradition resonates naturally with contemporary science and ecology and ancient magic – not as belief but as shared awareness
*liminal – relating to a threshold or transitional state – an in-between space where change – revelation – or transformation may occur
