Sorry, I should have made this a comment instead of a reply:
"You who wish to conquer pain, you must learn, learn to serve me well."
The Christ is the manifestation of God in the world we perceive as objects (or more abstractly, of form). When Jesus looks at a person, He sees beyond the person's body, and sees only the Christ within ("Jesus" symbolizes any person imprisoned in the (false)reality of exteral objects, as most of us do; but our true reality is the eternal Christ that dwells within each of us). When we view the world as a world of objects, we see illusion. But what we really are (the Christ) trancends the world of objects. If we refuse to view the true reality of the unity of all people as the Christ, we suffer (as the Buddha said). We suffer only when we do not obey the law of our true being. Many use the word "God" as the symbol that created the laws of being (or of existence). When Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden, they entered the world of objective "reality," and began to suffer pain. Adam and Eve are symbols which represent any of us currently imprisoned in the world of pain. Adam and Eve
disobeyed the law of God.
So if a person wishes to conquer pain, that person must learn to serve God well.
The word "satan" symbolizes darkness, the absence of the Christ light. Satan is the belief in the world of objects as an external reality. The world of the belief in objects is hell.
Yes, I've listened to the song over and over again. The song is about Jesus. His lyrics are as if Jesus was speaking to you himself. I get it now. His back looks like a hump as he carries the cross. Jesus does not want the crumbs of your love, he wants the whole cookie (he's not loving Jesus enough.) Wearing our flesh: His divine spirit came from God, but his flesh came from Man (atleast this is what i heard in a young adult's meeting once.)
