You are familiar with the butterfly, the cocoon, and the caterpillar. Have you ever considered the parallel of our placenta (the cocoon) and our embryonic life within the placenta (the caterpillar within the cocoon) that emerges months later to live in the air world (the butterfly state of existence), leaving its cocoon, er, I mean placenta behind as it flutters off in the air world? Is our adult body the cocoon that restrains our human spirit as we develop for the later existence that follows our air world stay?
