John Bradshaw tells a parable about a prisoner in a dark cave.1 The man was sentenced to die. He was blindfolded and put in a pitch-dark cave 100 yards by 100 yards. He was told there was a way out of the cave. He was a free man if he could find it.
The cave was sealed and the prisoner took his blindfold off. He was to be fed for the first thirty days and then he would receive nothing. His food was lowered from a small hole in the roof of the eighteen-foot high ceiling. The prisoner could see the faint light above but no light came into the cave.
