This study examines the concepts of the sacred and the profane in the work of Mircea Eliade, focusing on his suggestion that Christianity might transcend this fundamental dichotomy. The author analyzes Eliade's thesis regarding spatial non-homogeneity as a primordial experience for the religious individual, which precedes any objective understanding of the world. The paper critically reflects on Eliade's emphasis on space while questioning his treatment of time. Although many myths tend toward the 'eternal return'—a form of temporal homogenization—the author highlights the significance of temporal irreversibility linked to human activity and orientation. Special attention is paid to the spatial dimension of 'forward-backward,' which inherently involves time and irreversible action. Ultimately, the text argues that the prophetic tradition, culminating in Christianity, seeks a fundamental unity of the world and life, thereby challenging the traditional religious division of reality into sacred and profane spheres.
