By applying the concept of sensation by J. Mureika and R. Ingarden’s insights about substantial features of values, one aims at revealing the composition of the value of sacredness. The discussed features of the mythical attitude are related with the experiences of sacredness, one emphasizes the relation of the archaic human with nature and the sacredness of the whole true-life environment. With reference to the studies by V. Vyčinas, mythical thinking and understanding is revealed. The conceptions of sacredness are analysed, (...) one looks for the structures determining the identification of this value. The values of sacredness in the states of substantial dimension and their expression in the states of varied consciousness are emphasized. Five dimensions are distinguished in the multi-edged substantial matrix of the value of sacredness: epotic and emodic determined as potential, two intentional as individual and group sensations, and the plane of specific material forms. The conclusion is made that the sensation of the value of sacredness is inferred as a special, miraculous experience of the relation with gods in which one can find the being of the Great Absolute.
