John 16:25 · World English Bible
I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
Symbols fall away when you can see. Metaphor is scaffolding for a mind not yet still.

EGO & BEING
Symbols fall away when you can see.
Metaphor is scaffolding for a mind not yet still. Directness becomes possible once consciousness can receive it.
ESOTERIC
Scripture has been spoken in coded figures, and a time comes when the veil drops and the higher mind within is shown directly. The Father is the right hemisphere of the brain, the seat of the higher mind, and the proverbs are the symbolic wrappings that hide anatomy and states inside stories. What was carried in dark sayings is meant to open plainly when consciousness rises far enough to receive the higher mind without a figure standing in the way.
What happens in a person is the moving from riddle to open sight, when the inner light matures and the right side of the brain is known face to face rather than through a parable.
