Let's Get Preachy

Let me propose a theory:
The hypothesis? - Much of the produce of the human soul (i.e. social order, culture, art) is entirely egocentric. Profound? Just you wait!
I hate using the word egocentric but I guess I should use it here for lack of a better way to describe what mysterious processes make up the the human mind and all it's motives. Some believe in the existence of a soul. In the ancient and modern worlds, this literary sign has taken on many shapes and forms; psyche, ghost, spirit, chi, brahman. etc.
Of course, the above are signs in their own right, representing many forms of expression about human existence and its mysteries, and not just the external ones, but also the ones that are innermost.
Yet there is so much variety in human expression (often operationally dubbed "behaviour"), that I often find myself so lost in the 'power' (again, lack of a better word) of all these signs and symbols that I ask myself "Where do they come from?".
And then I'm drawn back in again.
