The birthing process varies greatly among the species. The gestation period among mammals can run anywhere from 19 days for a mouse to 645 days for an elephant with widely divergent differences in between. I want to look at the birthing of ideas, things that are not that we would like to SEE. Such birthing is as wide-ranging as the physical birthing and much more complicated in many ways.
Can you imagine carrying an elephant for 645 days! 
Paul tells us in Romans 12 that if one wants to birth an idea or go for some sort of radical transformation (any transformation), then one has to RENEW thier MIND! The renewal of one’s mind seems a bit non-religious now doesn’t it? The Greek word for mind (nous) can and is variously translated as thought, reason, or intention.
Giving birth means to change our stinking thinking!
And then we’re to take on the MIND of Christ. Sounds so easy but just what does that mean? Start o answer that question and you’ll discover a new denomination. Everyone has a different idea and that’s fine as long as we’re tolerant of what others come up with because surely e want them tolerant of our concepts. Don’t we? I say- DON’T WE? 
I can do nothing of myself (said Jesus and so say I).
That said, with the aid of the Spirit, with God, with the mind of Christ, I can do ALL things and NOTHING, “no thing” is impossible. One piece of that puzzle is to recognize that the methods of mental and spiritual knowledge are entirely different. Mental birthing comes about from without, by comparing one thing to another thing, an analyzing it.
Spiritual birthing comes about from looking and hearing WITHIN!
I must be conscious of my TRUE BEING, who I AM and not who others have said that I am, or even who I have thought I am. As someone has written,
“Oh be strong then, and brave, pure patient, and true.
The work that is yours let no other hand do.
For the strength for all need is faithfully given.
From the fountain within you- the Kingdom of heaven.”
What are you giving birth to or are you even pregnant?
Doesn’t, never has mattered what others think of you (Judgment). It matters what you think of yourself, who you are. Then and only then, can we give birth from the “fountain within you” to that which matters. You’ve heard this before: “As long as it matters what others think of me, I make no progress in my journey.”
There are too many still births coming into existence- wlaking the isle, saying the words, and then silence: seeming death.
