So far Kaguya's goal does seem to have some mythological parallels

Could Kaguya's goal of absorbing all the chakra be similar to the goal of Silap_Inua to take all breaths? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silap_Inua Also Silap_Inua does have a parallel in the Dharmic belief system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paramatman

Along with the forbidden fruit of eden in Abrahamic mythology there is also this tree that may be relevant to this discussion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_of_Jiva_and_Atman
