So he stays awake, alert, poised, still, lest he miss the master’s arrival. In another parable, Jesus speaks of the five careless (unconscious) women who do not have enough oil (consciousness) to keep their lamps burning (stay present) and so miss the bridegroom (the Now) and don’t get to the wedding feast (enlightenment). These five stand in contrast to the five wise women who have enough oil (stay conscious).
Spectrum, in another thread, there is an intense discussion on what the Harvest could actually mean, in terms of Ra's usage of it.
I wonder whether Jesus could have been talking about the Harvest here, in terms of the bridegroom!
