Odd you should mention that, but I have been reading and re-reading the Gospel of Mark lately wherein that parable is told. It occurs to me that Jesus might have been talking of people at all ages, from His time until the present. Some are just given over to unbelief and wicked ways.
definitely think we're tuning into some of the same ideas/have noticed that too. also seen a Huge increase in talk of NPCs/soulless beings; sure would explain all the wars & evil if they don't have a conscious.
would also explain why Jesus' words aren't focused on/obfuscated. there's good version of the Jefferson Bible on YT. he compiled the teachings of Jesus, along with an explanation as to why. fascinating, and JFK admired TJ for his intelligence/so thought that was a good recommendation. Jefferson Bible includes the wheat and the tares...
'if' they can be 'awakened'
I keep thinking of the parable of the wheat and the tares; 'tares' were empty from their inception/they would never be productive.
whatever is going on, it's definitely surreal...
