There's a point to this story-----
When I was in labor with my third child, it was all natural (no painkillers, nerve blockers,epidurals, etc). Someone was present that I did not want to be there to begin with. So when that individual attempted to 'help', I simply and quietly stated as nice and reasonable as I could muster, knowing I was the one in pain and not wanting to take it out on them unreasonably; "Please do not do that, it is driving me crazy". They were so very offended. This surprised me, but they were very immature.
The mother of one of my niece's bit her mother's hand, stories come of women doing all kinds of yelling, cursing, acts of violence.....
Labor is painful. Some are responsible for themselves and some just project and strike out.
Spiritual, emotional, intellectual labor is no different, male or female. Some of us expand, grow, taking responsibility for their own discomfort while taking in the "offense" from those unwilling and/or unable to grow with them, appreciate the self-control it takes to be considerate during their darkest hours. Mostly, however, people yearn for inner peace, for better circumstances, praying fervently. When the vessel comes to deliver what is needed to trigger the labor with a different perspective, response, choice of actions, etc. they strike out. Instead of apologizing, their pride keeps them from acknowledging they struck out where they shouldn't have. They then demonize the vessel and their actions, take credit for their own growth and act in accordance with the gift while remaining hollow and becoming even more swallowed up by darkness (denial), making their condition even worse than they began with.
A great seal has gone out and sounded in the heavens. Those who want their vessels conditioned will agree to prevent the striking out from happening, preserving the "messenger vessel's " sense of safety. That way resistance will no longer continue to exist in the "messenger vessels" and the messages can be delivered much more gently. No longer will they be "sent" across the "oceans". The vessels to be conditioned must be made the seekers and go out to the messenger vessels. They have reached their relief and maturity.
That is the illustration given to me this evening, whether for my own individual sense of comfort from my own inner being or an actual universal declaration, we shall see. ;)
