The most powerful Shrines and Temples were originally created on a Vortex of Energy also known as a Power Spot. The Ancients recognized these Power Spots and built their Temples or Shrines there in harmony with the energy of the land. Usually the buildings were constructed according to the four directions of the compass with the entrance to the East. In this way the building would radiate Life Force to the surrounding environment enhancing the prosperity of the people and the fertility of the land. These sacred places would continue to be valued by the people for many generations and the people were happy.
If the building was not constructed on a Vortex of Energy, the people would lose interest and the building would be eventually abandoned. This is the way of the universe. It is also the way of our thoughts and desires. When we have empty thoughts created only from mind, our desires will not manifest and we feel disappointed. But if our thoughts are in harmony with the universe and have strong feelings from our heart, then the universe and our environment feel our desire and help it to materialize.
