Satan is the self that we all must conquer. Satan is personified by the Bible, but the Bible's message on Satan was really just trying to emphasize what Satan is like and what are the attributes of Satan. Even thoughy many religions profess a belief in Satan, no there is no personification of a creature named Satan wholly and it is definately not what Fundementalists believe.

god is just the life process itself and creation is an expression of God. the Teacher said that he is in the Father (the superconcious Creator), and the Father in him, so that whoever sees the Son sees the Father. the Son is humanity perfected. it is balanced by light and dark.

jesus, buddha, prophets of the past, are more like god's expression in humanity by teaching humanity spiritual lessons. don't get caught up in religion though. they are in reality traps and should never be taken in a fundemental fashion. but religion has value. however, satan is the ego force or negative animal-like behavior that is used that we all must conquer, but what i really mean is to control. it is written in the Gospel of Philip that the companion of Jesus was Mary of Magdala so even the Lord that so many people praise as being against sex and marriage was married and possibly had a child and had a bloodline on Earth.

It is what we call the Dark. as the Gospel of Philip states that Light and Darkness are brothers. We need to but these lower 3 chakra points in balance...not suppress them totally because the Dark has just enough value as the Light ironically speaking. our chakras are more like energy receptors of a 7th dimensional high reality (7 spirits of God in Revelation). We have to find value in the Dark to keep evolving.

think of it this way. to balance your three lower chakras think of something you THOUGHT was bad, but later turned out it was actually good once ALL of the sides were reviewed. analyzing the Dark trying to find value is very hard and it is our mission here to find out why. Loving people we generally find to dislike is the first step.
