Wonderosity

This story is amazing, hard for me to even imagine and believe. Have you ever fantasized about building a hobbit home in the earth or perhaps of discovering underground palaces like those described by Tolkien’s dwarves in the Lord of the Rings? A friend recently sent me this article about an Italian man who, inspired by spiritual visions, allowed his curiosity to explore the possibilities of building underground (Makes me wonder: Does my current real estate have a vertical dimension as well?) After 30 years, this underground temple is 300,000 square feet! (Big Ben, as the article mentions, is 15,000 square feet.) Wow! I would sincerely love to visit this wonder someday. I don’t know about the Damanhur community’s particular spiritual worldview (yet), but to be honest (at this point), I don’t really care. I am simply inspired by seeing what a community of people with vision can do.  The creativity is astounding.  As the founder says, who now calls himself Falco,

“They are to remind people that we are all capable of much more than we realize and that hidden treasures can be found within every one of us once you know how to access them.”
