One book by this writer, which discusses the contemplation of one's own skeleton, was criticized for a lack of direct contact with the Yakut, Buryat, and other practitioners of the title "archaic techniques of ecstasy." He wrote another book that begins by discussing Rudolf Otto's treatment of the "numinous." This student of Joachim Wach noted that the name for three Sumerian cities, Dur-an-ki, denotes a direct line. He discussed the ubiquity of "world pillars" in his book on the "Symbolism of the 'Centre,'" which also discusses the axis mundi. This thinker often imagined a homo religiosus to illustrate "irruption" events that he calls hierophanies. He said that modern man's confrontation with linear time causes the "terror of history," which produces a longing for cyclization and reconnection to the divine; he summarizes that idea with a term borrowed from Nietzsche, "eternal return." For 10 points, what author of Shamanism, Images and Symbols, and The Sacred and the Profane is a religious scholar born in Romania?
