Will note that the father -god in no way interacts with the son-soul. The son (soul) left with some of the father's (God's) riches (soul nature/energy). The soul 's purpose is to be God's agent elsewhere since God does not leave it's realm. It's up to the soul to get back...but only when it's ready. This sketch of the God System is the theology Jesus builds on in other parables. They are all mosaic tiles yielding the big picture. The deus ex machina effect is but one of Christianity's many pagan influences.
