Abstract
As said by Freud, an important mental need in some neurotic patients is the need for uncertainty in their life, or for doubt, which may prepare the background for drawing the patient away from reality, isolate him from the world, organize the person’s perspective for magical fantasizing, and turn their thoughts to those subjects upon which all mankind is uncertain, like life and its continual after death (1). In this regard, ‘Animism’ (magical thinking) may be considered a system of thought that allows us to grasp the whole universe as a single unity from a single point of view, and myths, as well, are based on animistic premises, which are not devoid of an essential need for controlling humans’ surroundings.
