According to Mircea Eliade, many traditional societies have a cyclic sense of time, periodically reenacting mythical events.

According to Mircea Eliade, the medieval " Gioacchinian myth [...] of universal renovation in a more or less imminent future " has influenced a number of modern theories of history, such as those of Lessing ( who explicitly compares his views to those of medieval " enthusiasts "), Fichte, Hegel, and Schelling, and has also influenced a number of Russian writers.

According to Eliade, the Cosmic Center is a necessary corollary to the division of reality into the Sacred and the profane.

According to Eliade, traditional societies place their known world at the Center because ( from their perspective ) their known world is the realm that obeys a recognizable order, and it therefore must be the realm in which the Sacred manifests itself ; the regions beyond the known world, which seem strange and foreign, must lie far from the Center, outside the order established by the Sacred.

According to Eliade, heavenly Supreme Beings are actually less common in more advanced cultures.

According to Eliade, modern man displays " traces " of " mythological behavior " because he intensely needs sacred time and the eternal return.

According to Eliade, this " terror of history " becomes especially acute when violent and threatening historical events confront modern man — the mere fact that a terrible event has happened, that it is part of history, is of little comfort to those who suffer from it.

According to Eliade, Hindus thus escape the terror of history by refusing to see historical time as the true reality.
