Of course it’ll gel. If the test was: do you like the warmth of the sun, the babbling brook and the buzzing of bees it would gel, we’re all human. But ask us about radiation, sound frequencies and fluid dynamics and it all goes tangential. There’s too much thinking in the world if you ask me.
It’s hopeless to ask “what is it” as we’re all smart-arses. Rationalists will speculate about aesthetics inter alia, but don’t know and can’t prove it (other people’s shoes again) and Spiritual people will talk about Energy, always Energy dammit, the word should be banned! People feel, but that doesn’t justify them saying they feel energy. It’s them that feels, that’s all they’re entitled to say, and to claim it’s external is just being a smart arse, just like the rationalist.

So to get a worthwhile answer, the question has to be: describe how you feel but don’t prat about trying to explain it. To strictly conform to the requirements of the test this may mean that Tombo has to exclude all answers except appreciative grunts. I suspect that when tabulated the results will suggest that most people here feel really happy visiting ancient sites.
