I developed the following reflections about the sacred and the holy many years ago. However, since I haven't done sufficient research or analysis to transform them into a valid and well-argued theory, I never published them, despite the encouragement of some talented friends like the deceased Reiner Wiehl. Now Jack Bemporad, in the name of our friendship and my esteem for his committed thought and action, has once again exhorted me to publish those considerations as food for thought, albeit in the form of sketches. I have accepted his invitation, whilst being conscious of the fact that what I am proposing is at a very embryonic stage. I am therefore ready to take into consideration any comment or criticism that, as such, could only improve and enrich my reflections.
