Inspirational Stories and Parables by Stephen Chong
Stories and parables have been used over the millenia to relay ideas from one generation to the next, to provide motivation and inspiration and to facilitate the evolution of our knowledge. But did you know that stories have various levels of meaning? Inherent within stories and parables are portals or doorways to greater understanding, of ourselves and of others.
The first level of understanding is literal – the most obvious. The second level is allegorical; being that the story illustrates or touches on some other meaning, not just its outward form. The third level is the deeper metaphysical level, the story may illustrate a universal law or principle. Fourthly, the story or parable is understood on a mystical level – that it touches the heart so deeply that your TRUTH within is deeply experienced.
Stephen is a skilled storyteller … stories that enable you to change your world view.

"A bedraggled young urchin was found one morning knocking on the door of the monastery. The day was extremely cold, for the chill of the west wind carved a niche into everything it touched.

"Then the Grand Master said, ‘Come with me, I want to show you something.’ The master and the apprentice then walked a short distance to a wishing well in the centre of the village.
