Lane’s fourth axiom states, “the impulse of sacred space is both centripetal and centrifugal, local and universal.” This has two similar parts. First, the centripetal and centrifugal means that sacred space occurs in a person while it simultaneously occurs in the physical world. Secondly, the local and universal means that, while a person experiences sacred space at one particular location, sacred space can be experienced away from that location once it has occurred. For example, one place where I believe I have found sacred place is a large rock down near our creek. I can think back on it and experience it now as I write this.
