Psychological interpretation
Galatians 2:20 as the mystic's statement of identity. If the centre of man is Christ, and he was before the world was, then the awakening man is not learning but remembering: he can say 'Return to me the glory that was mine before the world was', and the life he now lives he lives by the faith of the Son of God who loved him and gave himself for him. Once that begins, the world can no longer teach him anything; he does not question the things of this world, he knows they are not true.
