More From Mircea Eliade

When the sacred manifests itself in any hierophany, there is not only a break in the homogeneity of space; there is also a revelation of an absolute reality, opposed to the nonreality of the vast surrounding expanse. the manifestation of the sacred ontologically founds the world. in the homogenous and infinite expanse, in which no point of reference is possible and hence no orientation can be established, the hierophany reveals an absolute fixed point, a center.

Sören kierkegaard has another answer: human existence is possible as existence not in despair, as existence not in tragedy; it is possible as existence in faith... faith is the belief that in god the impossible is possible, that in him time and eternity are one, that both life and death are meaningful.

Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.

Curiosity Desire Trying
To encounter the sacred is to be alive at the deepest center of human existence. sacred places are the truest definitions of the earth; they stand for the earth immediately and forever; they are its flags and shields. if you would know the earth for what it really is, learn it through its sacred places. at devil’s tower or canyon de chelly or the cahokia mounds, you touch the pulse of the living planet; you feel its breath upon you. you become one with a spirit that pervades geologic time and space.

Money values do not simply mirror the state of affairs in the real world; valuation is a positive act that makes an impact on the course of events. monetary and real phenomena are connected in a reflexive fashion; that is, they influence each other mutually. the reflexive relationship manifests itself most clearly in the use and abuse of credit.
