In my opinion the idea of the myth is not quite according to my belifs. Even so, psychology gives a new perspective when it comes to creation and spirituality so when it comes to presence of God.I started to invest more in reading new approaches and well finally i reached my own conclusion that i will try to reveal here in the upcomings entries.
Dealing with the issue of birth and becoming beliefs, Mircea Eliade outlines the scale of practical activities and imaginative mythology of prehistoric man. Religious phenomena, morphology and history, are creations of the human spirit and they are closely related to the discovery of the sacred as a constituent of primitive consciousness.
Deciphering the meaning and content of myth is an operation leads to understanding the essence of religion and how man was involved in the generation of historically religious phenomenon.
The myth, Mircea Eliade justly observed, is not a pathological eruption of instincts, but a cultural reality, a creation of the sprite, which, in the perspectiv view of archaic societies, is not "fiction, an invention" but a true history, a sacred one. The mythical thinking is a way of relating to consciousness, a man opened the gate to the world, obviously transhuman divine.
Knowledge is born in the search and discovery. It is a primary trend, fundamental human being inscribed in nature since its creation by the Supreme Creator. Man, a creation of God's image and likeness, is the last time and supreme act of divine creation. God will make the man by his word and reason, making him the confidence of the earth and life and body. This is the end of creation. At first man lives in the Garden of Eden, living paradisiacal, carefree, unrest. And yet he is not free. Doing it over immediately, but God forbids his approach and taste of the tree of knowledge. But man can not resist this temptation. Any ban is provided which generates temptation. Is the curiousity that everyone finds in everything forbbiden. From that moment the man begins to "see, know the world ", he sees different the life,himslef and even God himself. From this point of human life is broken. Knowledge trend will change man, but his relationship with the creator. A new relationship is established between Father and son.
One approach sais that the act of knowledge is not only violating a taboo. He is also a boldness, a over reaction of the human condition. It is a first act of self-affirmation, the independence as non-subordination. Violations taboo will be punished. God will banish people from the Garden of Eden, they will begin a life full of earthly worries, battles, quests, suffering, failures and successes, joys, to end with death.
In addressing the psychological phase of the myth of Edenic match with the idea of childhoodness. Temptation knowledge and taboo violation coincide with adolescence characterized by awakening curiosity, the desire for affirmation and release by compulsion under paternal authority. It's time Oedipal stage. Entry earthly worries in life, guardians and responsibilities marks the stage with her adult life and early history. Psychologists believe that the biblical myth of the Genesis of the Incarnation to time its entry into earthly life is a symbolic history of the human ages.
The history of humanity begins with violating a ban. This temptation is based on knowledge. Next step is to change the world, reality. To build a world comply with spiritual aspirations and basic human needs. It is when man will replace the Demiurge, trying to confront, to match and even exceed it.
By knowing and mastering the world of reality, it will turn into a human landscape, thus ending up losing the natural look you have when its creation by God. Thus, man will be enriched by knowledge. Any discovery but paradoxically, generates anxiety, doubt, uncertainty, anxiety. Life starts to become uncertain. By expanding the knowledge of the world, man will discover he is alone and vulnerable, and in these moments create the myth of divine. This myth give compensatory role with protecting the individual.
What leads me to deny this myth is the idea that this makes God a tyrant who created the puppets and who was angry and frustrated seeing his own creation wanting to take His place. There is also considering free will, but God gives birth mechanic in the mythodology. In addition, the idea of ages seems offensive. Psychology has failed to discover the great truth, namely that thousands of years ago the Bible was written, like another psychology who teaches evolution ages, in another words. Another contradiction is that the need for something divine, superior has existed since the beginning, therefore I doubt that people are aware of themselves and of their vulerability and they have created an imaginary God to protect them. Forced analogy was made between parent and child relationship. Even in family, the father is real and palpable. I wonder what made people to invent God hard to touch and palpable, when they could relate to something tangible, couse they practically need an immediate answer to a real presence.
Finally, I pick up not the senior idea of evolution or science, but the idea of divinity that man has within him since the beginning, knowing more or less, that he's part of something greatest.
