Well said!!!! I didn't realize that was the full parable of the eye of the needle! Much much more meaning I can discern from it now. Risk losing the things you are beholden to (say, unjustified claims to knowledge that you have left unchallenged) to discover the truths, the greater riches, the opportunities that cone with inspection, with the unknown.

I think it clearly distinguishes the difference between that which is a proxy to riches, and the riches themselves. Much like an analogy that is spoon fed to you, rather than the proof itself that you verified yourself, which all too commonly is missing. This proxy to riches is counterfeit prone, and used to enslave us. We chase the proxy.
