Civilization and culture are extensions of the Psycho-Soma, that are subject to a development taking a course parallel to biological evolution, which it complements and partially replaces.

Religions, as all cultural interpretations of an initially individually perceived numinous reality, are also subject to a process of transformation and development.

The communicability of the contents of perception bases on a consensual interpretation, that always includes the possibility of misinterpretation.

Is there an "Original Sin" at the beginnings of our interpretative processes, which, intensified in its effects through repetition, must let us suspect, that an instinct is unfolding its effects, a death drive, which, if it is not actively countered, could realize its aim of the destruction of the individual and of the species?

Basing on the writings of Sigmund Freud, C.G.Jung, Martin Heidegger, Peter Slotterdijk, Ken Wilber, and a number of further authorities, and with references to the Bible, The Baghavad Gita, and the Tao Te Ching, the author formulates and answers a series of questions relating to the links between ecology, psychology, spirituality and society.
