In James Cameron's film about alien encounter The Abyss (1989) a character says "You have to look with better eyes than this." We sometimes need to look with better eyes to see what we have seen.
Reconsider your journey. The world is made up not only of ideas but of things — and the world of the sacred is a physical, sensual place, of landscapes, buildings, gardens, graveyards and cemeteries, paintings, sculptures, garments, and objects from bells to begging bowls. All these things have been your windows on the sacred.
