The Man and the Lion Are Not Literal

Duffy: If we read this saying through Duffy's suggested filter of non-duality, we discover some really astounding truths. In Plato's Republic, the mind is represented by three metaphors, the man, the lion and the Camara or a many headed beast. So Jesus is telling us, if we understand these metaphors, that when our ego,. which is driven by fear is consumed, it becomes subdued by the peaceful, free and innocent, true self. We are one with Christ and therefore with everything.
