Yes you are basically talking Jung's quaternity here. You have Adam (E1), Eve (E2), God the Son (E3 representing the unity Adam and Eve were supposed to be, a Savior in other words), Mary (E4, the final piece of the puzzle) thus producing the Jungian self as idealized by Jesus in human form. Jungian scholars like to use Merlin as a Christlike figure and I personally like the goddess Rhiannon (of Welsh mythology and Stevie Nicks song fame - BlueLamp is also a Stevie song)... Christianity definitely brings a history to spiritual myth due to a very strong Jungian synchronicity... Buddhism has this same thing but it is in terms of abstract concepts, Eastern religions (and personality) is more abstract while the West is in to concrete events (of history or myth)... Jesus had His Cross, Merlin his cave and Rhiannon her dungeon which gets into the 2nd quaternity of the Enneagram which starts with the human Jesus output of the first quaternity (E5), then is God the Father (human Jesus's E6 conscience)... then is E7 life (Jesus in the Gospels) then is an E8 heroic victorious death/climax (Jesus on the Cross) resulting in the E9 output of spirit (Holy Spirit or Jesus in resurrected form)... Buddhism has this 2nd quaternity in abstract form also... There may be physical processes for all these spiritual things, our E9 spirit may be a worldline that goes through a superposition of particles in our brain before going on to be part of a really huge superposition of all universes in heaven, our E6 God the Father conscience may be superposition subsets in our brain that get in tune with the complete superposition of all universes, and E3 God the Son represents ideal unity not only of Adam & Eve or all humanity but also a unity of our spirit with God as symbolized by Jesus guided by His God the Father conscience before leaving us the Holy Spirit...
