Postlapsarian Man on a quest to Salvation is imprisoned in his own
consciousness:  Mind is cut off from the world and is thus incapable of
relating to the world
adequately or with any satisfaction and so with pornographies (Science &
Technology mixed with corruptions of  myth, mystery, magic, religious
ritual, sacrament, oral
community rites, holy grail,  a plethora of quests for "salvation" ) Man
Narcissistically projects an Image of his Solipsistic imprisonment onto
the world.
