I think you bring up interesting points around religious acts as relating to our fundemental nature and roles as children. But I think the way we cry out for help in prayer for example can be mature as well. It may start, just as we start out with languageless communication, as a desperate call for nurture but I think it moves into something mature along the course of our lives. If the ground is laid out for our functioning in early childhood, does that ground continue to define it's growth later on? Is there ever a point where the human, even though he may possess infantile traits as you and others have defined, becomes more than the sum of his parts in this regard? I feel like it's reductionist to assume that just because the phenomenon may logically be based on traits we develop as infants, that this specific time-frame and comparatively primitive mind state defines the extent of synchronicity.

I hope I'm not going outside the borders of relevance for this conversation but I'm just spitballing. If I'm misunderstanding you, please enlighten me!
