Cynthia Bourgeault in her book the Wisdom of Jesus, writes that Jesus’ parables deliberately take us beyond our egoic being.
And by this she means that part of us that separates us from everything else, that particular operating system that determines my belonging and others’ exclusion, what determines me as an insider and others as outsiders.
The part of me that divides the world up – placing me at the centre. Jesus calls us beyond this illusion.
