Parables pose serious questions, whenJesus said He knocks on our hearts and
if we open unto Him, He comes in, I am
worried that if the person within is bound
with strings, scared and gagged, not able
to open the door, however much they want
to break free, will Jesus turn away and leave
me be? He should open the door and save
me instead of waiting while the devil is
singing and laughing and dancing with
glee, though a happy devil sounds so
enticing, I cannot fear him as religion
recommends, still; it is unfair to expect
an idiot to open the door, it should be
done for me; though I try with all my
might, I cannot open the door to my
heart, and it is not fair, not fair at all!

Not sure, but I think in many Eastern religions God is already down there in our heart. We have perhaps close ourselves off to the world and delve in deep to find him or her because she or he is already there waiting for us.
Or we are all God, emanations of God. So to find God we look within.
Just metaphors to play with.
The metaphors scare me when the possibilities of interpretation are so wide - I used to feel threatened by this parable as I wanted to open unto God, it felt as if I could not sense his presence - but you are SO right.
