Personally I have long believed that sacreditity (for I know of no word that better serves the purpose, the closest being sanctity or other such) is just a higher level or degree of holiness. For example whenever I see the sun rise (which admittedly, by reason for living in a fairly developed area, is a rarer occassion than I would otherwise wish) I greet it first by the names the Greeks (Helios and Apollo, the physical sun and the god of the sun along with a great deal else) and Romans (who strangely also called the Sun Apollo, one of the few examples I know of where a Roman name was given to a Greek deity even if the Romans did still see the Greek god through the lense of Roman culture and sensibilities) addressed it as then I thank it for blessing the Earth with its Holy Fire and Sacred Light (although in such a context I could just as willingly thank the Sun for its gifts of Holy Light and Sacred Fire). But this is a matter of personal choice and also through the following deeply held viewpoint. I believe that everything that exists in nature as well as well as  nature itself exists in a state of supreme balance (whethe we humans understand that balance is very nearly irrevelent) and that everything must have a what I call a motive purpose (something role fulfill in the balance of nature which if it were lacking, no longer necessary, or injurious to the balance of nature). Every one of us humans (and by extension every other creature) has such a purpose the question is simply whether we can humans can find that purpose, readily accept and agknowledge it, and (having done so) have the ability/will to pursue that purpose.
