Reminds me of Joseph Campbell in Myths to Live By: And along with this there runs another realization; namely, that the social group into which the individual has been borne, which nourishes and protects him and which, for the greater part of his life, he must himself help to nourish and protect, was flourishing long before his own birth and will remain when he is gone…and through participation in which he will come to know the life that transcends death.we are the temporary manifestation of something greater, something complete and whole, something timeless and spaceless and absolute
This recognition of mortality and the requirement to transcend it is the first great impulse of mythology.
