the thing is that man has a natural trauma cause we're able to distinguish ourselves from what we see (or so we believe). Compared to heideggers "dassein" ... not being, but "being there" ... mut simple: if you can see the shadow of the wordl, you're not part of the world. It is because of this that we have this trauma ... having the feeling that there is more, but at the same time being restrained by the physical body.
Symbolic structures (ie language & mythology) then offer a means to put everyhting we see/experience in a comprehensible context (ie religion, beliefs, ideologies, political parties, ...).so far for a friday afternoon rant ;)
