There's no way of knowing since we are unable to remember or the ability to even imagine the truth. Our intellect is too primitive.
I agree with you in most of what you have written...
Not sure about the myth though ???
Perhaps these writings are in Parable form and are Not describing what people think or expect today.
If I look at the writings as a Parable then I can both see and understand what the writings are talking about... the Soul as I have seen it...
The writings are Not for the benifit of the human species but instead are a parable for the Mind or LIFE.
They contain a description and history of the Metamorphoses of the Soul and has nothing at all to do with the flesh.
Unfortunately the human species, humanises the writings as they desire to live (Understandabley), so they make out the writings are about them (The Human Species) and Not the Soul..
(But as I have repeated many times before).
From "The Gospel of Thomas".... Quote;
56.
Jesus said,
“Whoever has come to understand the World
has found only a corpse,
and whoever has found a corpse
is superior to the World.”
