The Parable of the Prodigal Son
Luke @ 15

And He said, “A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to the father, ‘Father, give to me the portion of the property falling to me.’ And he divided the property between them.

And not many days later, the younger son having gathered together all, went away into a distant country, and there he wasted his estate, living prodigally.

But of him having spent all, there arose a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need. And having gone, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs. And he was longing to fill his belly from the pods that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving to him.

But having come to himself, he was saying, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have abundance of bread, but here I am perishing with hunger? Having risen up, I will go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; no longer am I worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your servants.”’

And having risen up, he went to his father. And he still being far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having run, fell upon his neck and kissed him.

And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; no longer am I worthy to be called your son.’

And the father said to his servants, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and clothe him, and give him a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet; and having brought the fattened calf, kill it, and having eaten, let us be merry. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.

And his elder son was in the field, and while coming up, he drew near to the house; he heard music and dancing. And having called near one of the servants, he began inquiring what these things might be.

And he said to him, ‘Your brother is come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him in good health.’

But he was angry, and was not willing to go in. And his father, having gone, was begging him.

And answering, he said to his father, ‘Behold, so many years I serve you, and never did I disobey a commandment of yours; and never did you give to me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. But when this son of yours came, the one having devoured your living with prostitutes, you have killed the fattened calf for him!’

And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But it was fitting to make merry and to rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; and he was lost and is found.’”


This parable seems to be about being nice to someone who has gone through a rough patch and expresses remorse. It is, however one of the richest with information of Jesus, that appears in the bible. Their are four main players: The Master, his servants, and the older and younger brothers. The Master is either the Logos or the sixth density, and the son who stays with him is symbolic of the fifth. The servants represent the fourth density illusion, and the younger brother who takes what is allotted him, and goes away "into a distant country” symbolizes the third dimensional human existence. We see that this son "was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found”.

He spends his resources quickly and the country itself falls to famine as is the lot of so many throughout Earth's history. We see the 3D reality of the citizen who presumably has no want, but gives food to pigs (unclean beasts), instead of our subject.
When he thus has experienced his due catalyst, the prodigal son cries out for the Master and the higher worlds, asking for only the equal of the servants (in the density of love).
The Master can hear him as he approaches, and upon arrival he is greeted with a robe, representing the higher body, and the fattened calf, representing use of the higher energies.
It is left to the fifth density son to reason the value of the 3D experience in order to properly integrate the family and the mansion, reunited, as he balks at the celebration. At the end it is repeated that the prodigal son has indeed been “dead" and “lost”, or perhaps just wandering behind the veil of forgetting.
