religious experience

is a viewpoint whereby all nature is capable of revealing itself as comic sacrality, all that is ordinary can be transformed into the holy.

In other words, for those who have a religious experience all nature is capable of revealing itself as comic sacrality' (12). The importance therefore is not the physical material or object but rather the belief that the religious experience can transform ordinary into the holy. According to this thesis, any thing, person or even event can be sanctified. Institutional theologies determine how and what can be made sacred not the object itself and the theologies can and do change over time and space.
