In the stillness of my soul, I echo…
“Everything that happens in history participates in a mythic field…” – Mircea Eliade
- The Eternal Return, as conceptualized by Mircea Eliade, explores the idea that certain myths and rituals reflect a primordial time – the beginning of existence.
- This belief is rooted in the conviction that cycles of death and rebirth are inherent to the cosmic order, echoing the universal desire for renewal and regeneration.
- Eliade’s work highlights the significance of ancient myths as they preserve and reenact archetypal stories which transcend time and culture.
“Myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human life.” – Mircea Eliade
As we delve deeper into understanding these enduring tales, we come to realize that they embody a timeless wisdom, a silent whisper reminding us of our connection to the universe.
Breath-spaced contemplation
“The beginning of the world is always and in every religion the mythic time when the sacred was separated from the profane.” – Mircea Eliade
In our quest for meaning, we find ourselves drawn to the myth of the beginning – the creation myths that hold the key to understanding our origins and our purpose.
A silence whispered
As I contemplate these ideas, I am reminded of the eternal interplay between light and darkness, life and death, and the eternal cycle of rebirth. In the silence, I find solace and a renewed connection to the divine.
