Sacred Symbols:
The Search for The Divine
For many in these modern times, religious symbols and immediate experiences of the sacred are quaint and exotic carry-overs from a more emotional, primitive period of man's development. In this view, humans have outgrown the sacred. Religious symbols are trapped in academic discussion, hidden away in paintings and literature.
Teilhard de Chardin once wrote, "God truly waits for us in things." This is the basis of our documentary series as we explore the ways in which humans seek the revelation of GodŐs presence in sacred locales around the world. We will examine centuries-old religious symbols and customs to reveal the powerful, living energies by which we can still come to experience the divine, one another, and our relation to the world. We will focus on the archetypal symbols -- mountains, water, fire and sacred stones -- with which our ancestors built sanctuaries, religions and the centuries of belief that illuminate our life today.
