Decent, better that the other one. You do make assumptions, however, that I would not make. I don't have reason to believe Maynard has struggled with God for a long time. I think he might have problems with the Christian version of God, as I do, but as for actually struggling with God, he would have to believe in the christian idea of God to do that. I do think he is not necessarily talking from his perspective, I don't think in Tool he ever does. The guys have made it clear in interviews and their music that the point is to push your ego aside. If you do that, you really have no sense of Self and therefore become a vessel for the light, not a message from yourSelf. So I think it is the voice of intuition calling out in this song, telling us what we already knew but forgot. There's treasure there, we just gotta remember how to find it and use it.

Thank you so much for calling the sexual metaphor a smokescreen for the reader.
