The old adage “As Above, So Below” suggests to us that what happens to us here in the earthly realm has divine, spiritual counterparts. This means that we may learn to understand heavenly, spiritual concepts by comparing them to everyday, commonplace activities. These types of comparisons, or equating Divine concepts to items and circumstance we see on earth, are often called parables. Jesus the Christ always taught the public in such parables. In a message from our Supreme Father Marshall Davis, Sr., he urges us to use our powers of concentration to get the deeper spiritual meaning of parables.
