<p>The elevation of unknown things is the point at which something which is not tangible, is not spatio-temporal, is not <em>real</em> somehow becomes more important than the real. It&rsquo;s the point at which we are overcome by the numinous and can&rsquo;t help but focus on unknown things. They hover over our vision, a thin overlay, coloring everything we see.</p>
