Jesus spoke in parallels because it made things _clearer_, not as a form
of concealment, or of speaking only to the elect. He taught by giving
examples, rather than by using obscure terminology. (And he seems to
have had no interest in conveying any information he might have had
about spiritual matters).
For deliberately obscure language you have to go to, say, the alchemists
or other exponents of magic.
People, in fact, who wanted to be part of a secret elect.
