Freedom's Gate - The Lost Symbols in the U.S. Capitol

EXCERPT:

Is the U.S. Capitol actually a temple?
In our quest to answer this question, we discovered that indeed it is. At the core of this living and continually evolving civic temple is Jefferson’s Enlightened vision of Liberty as the new secular religion of Light. The mighty Capitol Hill is a great High
Hill, in the tradition of all holy hills. The temple atop this mount emerges as a Temple of Enlightenment and Transformation that uses sacred architectural principles and spiritual symbolism to create a magnificent space or place where Heaven and Earth unite. By definition it is a gateway, a stargate, to use a 21st century term.
We’ll refer to it as Freedom’s Gate.
