But the veiled metaphor in Christianity is the Birth of the Christos, that is, the awareness of Self as a Soul above and free of form.

Until we accept that our emotional feelings are not done TO us but rather are evoked FROM us, people will seek some advantage in being victims of their hurt & upset.
