Man becomes aware of the Sacred because it manifests itself, shows itself, as something wholly different from the Profane.
Mircea EliadeMan makes himself, and he only makes himself completely in proportion as he desacrilizes himself and the world. The sacred is the prime obstacle to his freedom. He will become himself only when he is totally demysticized. He will not be truly free until he has killed the last god.
Mircea EliadeThe way towards 'wisdom' or towards 'freedom' is the way towards your inner being. This is the simplest definition of metaphysics.
