At the core of The Tenth Insight's particular thematic answer to the universal question of why humanity exists is the idea of personal empowerment - specifically, empowerment through a personal relationship with the divine and an understanding of the purpose and/or aims of that relationship. Again, over the course of time, humanity has striven to both develop and define such a relationship, but as the narrative here also suggests, that relationship has been inhibited, perhaps deliberately, by the institutionalization of belief systems - in other words, by organized religion.
