Walking through one of America's old, very old cemeteries, is like strolling through a unique history lesson, and the customs that we have of burying our deceased are time-honored and deserve learning their lessons from the past. The spirits of our past linger, and the energies experienced while visiting are awaiting with their lessons, according to many.
Take your time and browse, examine, many of the stones and their inscriptions. Often, in my native Virginia, there are noticeably different sections. In our Tidewater, relatives discovered that it was best to place a 'table' on top to curb the deceased from 'coming back' to the surface because of the water table and sand. And our Civil War...honored sections were often set aside, with a Confederate area for the known brought home and the unknown within a mound. At the far back, the 'Yankee' unknown were laid to rest also in a mound. Relatives often came from above the Mason-Dixon Line searching for their kin, and, if known, taken back for a proper burial.
But, by examing the stone inscriptions, lessons can be uncovered.
Macchu Picchu! Centuries had passed before 'modern' archeologists discovered the magnificent civilization high in Peru's Andes Mountains. And secrets continue to seep out about the intelligence and advanced abilities of the thinkers within this group. For centuries, also, earthquakes had caused havoc in Peru and neighboring regions but not the Macchu Picchu 'city'. Today, after meticuously clearing and cleaning the 'ruins', they discovered the remarkable stonework, with no mortar. Stones of all sizes were cut to fit EXACTLY with another...and not even a piece of paper could fit between any stone. Remember the earthquakes that caused havoc in those mountains nearby? The ingenuity of the architects, engineers, had to have been astounding!
And, once again, go back to my original premise that old cemeteries and places like Maccu Picchu are full of spirits of the past and linger with energy...waiting for us to discover their secrets.
Some like to go into another direction by using the term 'haunted'...that denotes a negative connotation. I prefer the term positive energies and history, still highly prevalent within the confines of a...cemetery...Macchu Picchu...Gettsyburg...old farmhouse...ancient farm barn! Don't forget ghost towns out West. Was fortunate, on my trip to study American government in Montana once, to explore a ghost town. I could sense a powerful energy....
