We call this "looking down upon" as "super-vision."
The problem with idealizing this state is that in a super-vision philosophy, you lack up front and close vision. So, you may be walking in a forest just "soaking it all in" and find that you did not notice the rattlesnake you almost stepped on until you felt her teeth going into your backside.
Lets make this more down to earth for you city dwellers by discussing childrearing and bearing. When bearing a child a woman is said to be in labor. Labor is the production of a potential that is within us. This article is conceived within me and thus its being written is my labor. My wife said something yesterday that was seminal to this writing. Thus, gender and sexuality are beyond the noun version of and enter into the verb.
I do want to comment on the line in the Bible's Genesis regarding our (Eve) labors being in pain. Labor signifies both the delivery of a baby as well as our work in this world. And, yes, I'm sure that something that is perhaps 5 to 10 pounds emerging from a woman's vagina is painful.
Yet, isn't this writing also a conception? And what of you the reader in this process? Well, you draw in light via your eyes' pupils and conceive these words in the back of your brain. When you see and read that image, you may also say "this guy is nuts" or "this guy is on target," or, even, "what in Sam's Hell is this man talking about!?"
Articles, be they crazy or not, are written in accord to the Way of Tao as per the Tao Te Ching. Articles are conceived (a feminine function, yin) due to an external stimulus (a male function, yang). Thus, an article written by Rob Kall initiated this writing. To help Rob's words along in sparking this writing, the steroids I was prescribed for Chrones' disease has me on a "high".
As Chaos theory predicts, everything is involved in the creation of everything else.
Thus, there are multiple factors to this writing.
A fertilized egg becomes a human being that ultimately emerges from his mother's womb and into the deeper womb of Planet Earth. (Yes, the relationship of Earth to Human is the same as Mother to infant/fetus. If Mom dies, so does baby! Who wants to tell the Koch Brothers?)
