Birth Pains and Lacking Wisdom

Hosea 13:13
"Pains as of a woman in childbirth come to him,
    but he is a child without wisdom;
when the time arrives,
    he doesn’t have the sense to come out of the womb."

This verse has become even more interesting to me over the last year since I wrote of previously. I am just considering Wisdom here now, and the idea that the man referenced may not exit not because of folly, but because he is without his soulmate and he will not leave without her. This matches up much more closely with my own story that I have envisioned and heard whispered in those times when the veil feels most thin, and I feel a story running in the background like a very long show reaching its finale.

Additionally the idea of not having the "sense" to come out of the womb is interesting. Along the lines that not exiting may not be an act of folly, perhaps this term "sense" is more literal as well? What if there is a sense that babies possess to know when it is time to go, they play their part in some significant way in the birthing process, and this man lacks that sense? I know this could easily be resolved by looking into the Hebrew, but it is late, and the hour is excellent for pondering and not well suited for research. So this man may lack the "sense" to leave the womb, which could lead to a kind of stillbirth in the "born again" sense, should an intervention not occur. Has the doctor already made his decision to help, or are we still delicately walking the line of redemption in some way? Will the C-section come, or will this suddenly all end as the most core conditions we have come to believe are stable in this reality melt around us? It seems time will tell.

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite. We sail through winter Eyes scanning for a Spring Day On the horizon Omelas be damned. Let waves wash worst days from mind Best are yet to come We seek a shared realm With no more dream(s) to distract Though they might buoy Our blood sweat and tears Will be worth each step taken Our footfalls swear it They say 'life goes on' Perhaps it does on some shore Here, we claim the NOW!"

Disentropic

So, someone else's presence, from one's own perspective, is a combination of signals in the brain. The sight of them, the sound, the feel, everything, from one's own perspective regarding the other that they perceive, is ultimately these brainwaves, in a familiar pattern. This intertwines with the the idea that consciousness is these brainwaves, our bodies carefully constructed compilations of sensors and machines designed to generate these waves and in turn be driven by them. I can imagine, and even have seen firsthand one night, hallucinations so vivid that they are indistinguishable from real people. Granted, personally I did not touch these others, but they were visible and plain as day. They acted as if they were real, and spoke audibly; I had no basis to say that they were not real except in retrospect, in the context being broken. So, looking at this from the perspective of strictly consciousness, given the right combination of factors and stimuli, my brain saw and h...

Tools fly with vigor Like never before seen here "Prepare for the (end/start)!" A cacophony  Fortunately I've run these Paths made for no man Control my first pass Who would ever seek second?? Rebalance, conserve. My soul is sealed off  Your teeth gnashing only chaff Bitter and hollow Love my enemies If you cannot love your own They will teach you love. Love's lesson quite hard Once called "Not for faint of heart." Now all must witness. Redefining "all" In the space between heartbeats To "all that witness." There is no time left. You have spent yours as you want. Now we do the same.
