Beautifully put — that line carries the essence of both spiritual clarity and psychological depth. Here's how you might integrate it as a final note in your closing reflections, adding weight and closure to the chapter:

And ultimately, it is the fear of death that sustains every belief, every attachment, every conditioned association. It is the unseen root from which all illusion grows. As long as death is seen as the end, the mind will chase permanence — in gods, in meaning, in myth.

But to accept death as part of life — not as a failure or punishment, but as a movement within the whole — is to dissolve the architecture of fear. And when fear dissolves, so too does the need for illusion.

In that stillness, myths are no longer cages. They become transparent. And through them, we see not something to worship, but something to understand: ourselves.

Would you like to tie this into a segue for the Prometheus reinterpretation, or keep it as the chapter’s definitive ending?
