You are the Virgin Mary~

Subtle shifts in our understanding of historical text reveal to us mysteries hidden for eons. We may look at Mary, the mother of Jesus, as a historical figure who was a virgin that conceived a baby by being “overshadowed” by an angel. Mary gave birth to a “holy thing,” a boy, which was born in a lowly manger amongst the animals in a barn. This same baby grew to become known as the Savior of mankind, and demonstrated all sorts of miracles as He walked the Earth. 

Mary is a template, however, or an overlay for us to see who and what we really are!

Let’s choose to see Mary in a mystical or metaphorical sense. Mary is a metaphor for humanity. Mary, the feminine aspect of the human field is deemed “virgin” because never before had a Divinity found a portal to penetrate and deposit the spark/seed of itself. Mary (humanity) is the portal through which the Divine finds expression in a physical world. Carl Sagan says, “If you want to bake an apple pie from scratch you must first create the universe.” I often say if Divinity walked into the room and wanted to hug someone, kiss a baby, or stroke a dog, it could not unless it had a helpmate. Divinity has no form in the material world unless it enters a body, and this helpmate is the human being, the corporeal Mary. If Divinity desired expression in matter, an environment that is material must be created and that is our physical universe. Next a suitable biological container or body must be created or evolved if you will. Then, a holy impregnation occurs in the manger of our base humanity, and this Spark of the Divine is deposited into our collective consciousness and a synergy, a cooperative effort is covertly established. This ember must grow slowly lest the delicate circuitry of the human become overwhelmed. The human is unaware that it has been inoculated with something holy, mysterious, and Divine that will expand within our consciousness over millennia. We are just now becoming aware of this indwelling Christ. Emanuel means, “God with man.” Jesus within Mary establishes this pattern in the natural to reveal unseen internal Spiritual principles. Christ is born in the manger of our humanity and is wrapped in the swaddling clothing of our beautiful biology!

I feel that at least one significant impregnation occurred during the Age of Pisces. The fish or Vessica Pisces is a symbol of the birth portal and it is during this age that the Divine Spark or Spirit successfully penetrated the material world. In the Old Testament, it is said that the “the Spirit came upon” them sort of like the anointing that gets us ready to meet the King (Chapter Five). But in the New Testament, the Spirit is recorded as being within them. In the Old Testament, they carried the presence of God on their shoulders in the Ark of the Covenant. In the New Testament, Jesus tells us that God does not dwell in buildings made with hands, and that we are the temple of the Spirit.

Furthermore, upon the disciples inquiring how they should pay the temple tax, Jesus told them to go fishing and that the fish they catch will have a silver coin within its mouth to pay the tax. Silver is a symbol of redemption and it is found within within the Age of Pisces (fish). Jesus was mysteriously stating that the debt owed for the material temple has been paid during the Age of Pisces. The potential for the mortal to be redeemed or purchased had occurred. The same symbolism is found in the story of Jonah, swallowed up in the belly of the great fish (popularly mistranslated as a whale). This is symbolic the Divine Spark being swallowed up of the Earth realm while its vehicle, the mortal body with an ego, learns obedience through the things it suffers within the belly of humanity. Ironically this belly is called “Sheol” or popularly it translates it as “hell.” I often say that there is a hell and this is it!
