So it is clear to what a degree the discovery— that is,

the revelation— of a sacred space possesses existential

value for religious man; for nothing can begin, nothing

can be done, without a previous orientation— and any

orientation implies acquiring a fixed point. It is for this

reason that religious man has always sought to fix his

abode at the “center of the world.” If the world is to he

lived in, it must be founded— and no world can come to

birth in the chaos of the homogeneity and relativity of

profane space.
