Biblically
Adam: The first biblical character. Adult Adam embodies the emergence of humans from prehistory, as the first conscious human. This is the genesis of consciousness.
At the macro level
This is prehistory, when the caveman considers everything around him solely for his use and survival. This is the stage of possession and need.
At the micro level
The baby, the ego “Me”. At this stage, we are aware only of our own needs. Everything around us is there to serve us. We are dependent.
