Animals know how to protect themselves instinctually. People do to but then are trained often not to use their instincts so they then have all sorts of problems because of the people that raise them or abuse them or both.
So, since mostly I was raised in the suburb of Los Angeles of Glendale I had to spend a lot of time in the wilderness regaining my instincts intact and then developing them forward from then. I always loved the wilderness and so did my father. So, we spent a lot of time hiking and camping in the wilderness as I was growing up.
The two real power points here in California that I have found that are amazing places that deeply change a person in positive ways are Mt. Shasta and Yosemite National Park. The first my parents discovered and took me there by the time I was 2 months old. The second one I went to at age 15 with a friends family during the summer and it really changed my life. I experienced God in Yosemite National Park and later my present wife when she was 15 also experienced God in Yosemite National park for the first time in her life too as a real and tangible experience. There is something very special about Yosemite as you walk the trails like up to Yosemite Falls near the base of the falls there or up to Vernal Falls and beyond to California Nevada Falls or up the wire to the top of Half Dome (although I here now you have to sign a list and get a reservation to be allowed up there now). Either way, the experiences you can have with God either place are literally like being in nature in God's church (the Wilderness) where all beings are sacred if you can tune into it.
By God's Grace
