Literary notes about Exalted (AI summary)

The term "exalted" frequently conveys a sense of elevated status and divine majesty, whether it describes a lofty spiritual state or an impressive worldly rank. In many religious texts, it is used to denote the supremacy of a deity or a divinely anointed individual, as seen in the invocation of God’s greatness ([1], [2], [3]). Meanwhile, in secular literature it often underscores noble character or distinguished honor, describing people who rise above the ordinary, as in references to individuals of "exalted mind" or those whose achievements lift them to a near-mythical status ([4], [5], [6]). Additionally, it appears metaphorically to evoke images of soaring natural forms or grand monuments of virtue, reinforcing the idea of a stature that is both celebrated and revered ([7], [8]).
