Sometimes it seems as if virtually everything is qualiadelic. But in fact, most things are only potentially qualiadelic.
A great example is Stonehenge, the ancient rock formation near the southern coast of England. Stonehenge is so massive, and so mysterious, that is has attracted people for thousands of years. This powerful attraction is a sure sign of potential energy, or power, but it takes something else to make it truly qualiadelic.
It takes movement towards the source of attraction to unleash it’s power. A flower may attract a bee, but unless the bee moves toward it and “dances” with it, the attraction is not successful. There is no power. Likewise, very few of the people who are curious about Stonehenge actually visit the place, and of those who do, few actually ritual with it.
Ritual is the movement toward qualia. With respect to Stonehenge, tourists have one kind of ritual, while neo-druids have another. Modern Druidism has no demonstrable historical link to the druids with whom Stonehenge is associated, but they do share their worship at the ancient ruin. So there was a long hiatus between the rituals of the druids of old and those of the present.
To me, because of this long hiatus, Stonehenge represents the sound of one hand clapping. During the ages when few ritualed with Stonehenge, its power was only potential.
According to Wikipedia, neo-druids practice a form of modern spirituality or religion that generally promotes harmony and worship of nature, and respect for all beings, including the environment. Neo-druids have the right idea. The neo-druids are not just reviving the power of Stonehenge, but of Earth.
It shouldn’t take an 8,000 year old man-made and massive stone structure to make us worship Gaea, our Mother Earth. All we need to do is to venture out into our backyard and notice the ecosystems there.
