NATURE AND THE COSMOS AS SACRED DIMENSION PARADIGM AND BECOMING INVOLVED IN TRADITIONAL ROMANIAN CULTURE

Summary/Abstract: For the traditional man his existence also involves history. The natural events, the seasons, the very nature itself resembles, continues and regains itself periodically, with the difference that for the archaic man "there is the possibility to transcend and live in eternity," while the traditional man abolishes the "return" in exchange for the transition to "history ".The double meaning is actually one; existence for man is a spatial and temporal one, but also an eternal one; these two stages seem to exist in a different way, but are different moments of the same existence; the terrestrial existence - limited in time - passes into another form of existence, that eternal - cosmic. This conviction, which belongs to the traditional spirit, springs from the substratum of the Romanian Christianity; where the universe, the cosmos remain coped with the human existence, which at the archetype level unfolds in cosmic reality and reveals the myth. At the level of traditional culture, life is included in the process of becoming, by facts, gestures, words, which are "history" that implies spontaneity with historical consequences without "repeating prescribed archetypal gestures", rituals outside of history.
