" "The celestial god is not identified with the sky, for he is the same god who, creating the entire cosmos, created the sky too. This is why he is called Creator, All-powerful, Lord, Chief, Father, and the like. The celestial god is a person, not a uranian epiphany. But he lives in the sky and is manifested in meteorological phenomena — thunder, lightning, storm, meteors, and so on. This means that certain privileged structures of the cosmos — the sky, the atmosphere — constitute favorite epiphanies of the supreme being; he reveals his presence by what is specifically and peculiarly his — the majesty (majestas) of the celestial immensity, the terror (tremendum) of the storm.

About Mircea Eliade
Mircea Eliade (13 March 1907 {O.S. 28 February} – 22 April 1986) was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago. His most enduring and influential contribution to religious studies was possibly his theory of Eternal Return, which holds that myths and rituals do not simply record or imitate hierophanies, but, at least to the minds of the religious, actually participate in them.

Additional quotes by Mircea Eliade
Chiar melomanii îl irită, oamenii aceia maceraţi de o singură patimă, neputincioşi să trăiască fără muzică, fără concupiscenţă fonică, palizi şi rafinaţi, cu ochii extatici sau orbi, injectaţi de voluptate, adunându-se unii lângă alţii şi abandonându-se viciului, fără pudoare, fără reculegere, juisând în public, probabil felicitându-se de sensibilitatea lor muzicală. Sunt afemeiaţi, invertiţi sau masochişti ai spiritului; spiritul, de obicei, e ponderat şi are iniţiativa asupra obiectelor, constrânge şi purifică senzaţiile, dar la ei spiritul e biciuit de voluptate, e posedat de inspiraţia vreunui sentiment uriaş (toţi compozitorii au fost sentimentali, pasionaţi şi abulici, chiar Beethoven).
