NOTE

Perception Shapes Understanding

Parables serve as a profound tool for conveying deeper truths, accessible only to those who are open-minded and willing to engage with them. For individuals progressing from skepticism to belief, parables reveal layers of meaning, enriching their understanding over time. Conversely, those unwilling to delve deeper miss the significance and richness of these teachings, perceiving them as simplistic or irrelevant. References to biblical texts emphasize that the purpose of parables is not to obscure understanding, but rather to unveil hidden wisdom to those ready to receive it, thus highlighting the dynamic relationship between perception and comprehension.
