ABSTRACT
The experience of holiness was to man the real meaning of communication; and speaking of gods was reality and no empty fantasy. The festive act, the sacrifice and prayer were the answer to this reality. Mircea Eliade presented an analysis of religion and metaphysics of primitive or archaic communities of Asia, Europe and the Americas. Eliade presented many examples and based his theses on them. From the point of view of biosemiotics, the forms of behavior of primitive man are to be interpreted as natural steps in the adaptation of the noetic system to the previous systems. Eliade emphasized specially one aspect of holiness in archaic man: the representation of creativity, of the beginning, cosmogony: "Repetition is rebirth". Every production of whatever nature, becomes weak and used, only as a result of its own existence in time.
