interesting...
sacred - that which is outside of us & our more explainable experiences - becomes profane when we infer, interpret, & extrapolate - so then does the profane become mundane when we are able to reason it out to a general societal consensus (which is then thought to be "truth" for some amount of time)?... & our reasoning, our ability to make associations, where does it come from?
so how do we know when it is God talking to us in our dreams or thoughts? how do we know when an individual sees past that which the majority already sees - trial & error? scientific method? but even that's not fool-proof.
