(Well, here's one way to look at it:)
Satan is a
symbol for the dark side, our unbridled impulses. Satan resists all attempts at
control.
Lucifer is a symbol for our
highest ideals and principles that repress unbridled energy and condemn us when
we let loose.
Neither Satan nor Lucifer is God though each would like to have
full sway. Fundamentalist and integrist religion tend to the side of
Lucifer.
God is a symbol for the force
that guides our choices as we attempt to manage the tension between Satan and
Lucifer. It is our choices that forge our real identity.
