Local and Universal

Lanes idea of sacred place being both local and universal is a very important part of his axioms. I find this to be true, in that, both before I had the oppurtunity to visit Pearl Harbor and when I did I could feel a sense of sorrow for those families who lost their loved ones even from thousands of miles away. When you are there though, the local is stronger than the universal could ever be because things really begin to set in at that point.
