 A
'Virgin birth' has four possible explanations
1) A
biological impossibility
2)
A child
actually born of a virgin (literal but also improbable*
considering the time frame)
*contemporary
medical procedures, it seems, could be utilized to impregnate absent a
physical act of procreation
3) An
astronomical allegorical
metaphor involving the phenomenon called, The Precession
of the
Equinox and able to be created and decoded by the ancient
astronomers called "wise men". |
Precession
is the apparent backwards movement (as viewed from the Earth) of the
outer universe that proceeds at the rate of approximately 1 degree
every 72 years. Precession is used for the measurement of the length
(in time) of an astrological age. An astrological age is 2160 years in
length and that figure is determined by the length of time that it
takes
for the Sun to move backwards through one complete astrological sign
(multiplying 30 degrees by 72 years or 2160
years). The name of the Age is determined by
the name of the astrological sign through which the Sun is
'precessing'. Approximately
10,500 years ago the astrological age
changed from the Age of Virgo to the Age of Leo as the sun 'precessed'
out of the astrological sign of Virgo (1st degree) into the 30th
degree of Leo. To
characterize this event, (change from Age of Virgo to
Age of Leo) in an allegorical context, an ancient astrologer/astronomer
would describe this as 'The Sun being born of a 'Virgin' (Virgo) as a
king (Leo is the 'king like' sign of the zodiac). Or, in a type of
metaphorical code: "The Son of God, born of a Virgin as a king".
Only ancient astrologer/astronomers (Wise Men) would
recognize the astronomical/astrological allegory as talking about the
changing of an astrological age. The
ancients often represented "God" as a star. Our sun is a star or, in
'code', a sun (son) of God. |
4)
A description (Christ, Son of God born of a virgin) of the
process
of giving 'birth' to Christ within one's self. A knowledge of the
charisteristics of the ancient astrological sign of Virgo (The Virgin)
is required; in addition to the very basic understanding that thought
has a creative component. |
Some
of the charistics of the astrological sign of Virgo are:
particular; perfectionist; discerning; restoring; virginal (purity,
proper conduct); wheat or corn (and bread by extrapolation)
are also symbols of Virgo. The 'opposing' or balancing
astrological sign (180 degrees opposite Virgo) is Pisces or 'The
Fishes'. (Note: The Virgo/Pisces unity, acting in
tandum, also represents 'loaves and fishes'.) Loaves
and fishes are also food items; something that is for consumption. The
'consumption' reference may initially seem a bit quirky until one
understands the "Last Supper"
metaphor. The Last Supper
Metaphor The
scientific analysis of the astroarchaeological Star of Bethlehem
and the arrival
of the magi
indicates that the inner light of Christ dwells within the deepest
recesses of the human psychological base (4th astrological house of
'the mother'). The 'inner Christ' or spirit or soul (a genie in the lamp)
is usually located (initially) in a condition of dormancy having
yielded to the (relative) animal based human ego. This condition is
other than a 'conquering' but rather, an accommodation.
Anyhow, when a person makes the decision to accept the (teachings of)
Christian Christ and to reform his or her character then the process of
'The Last Supper' begins as the errant ego is trued to spiritual
principles and is subsequently and gradually 'devoured' (consumed) by
the emerging inner
light of Christ. Christ's words at the Last Supper, "This is my body
and this is my blood" (referencing the bread and wine) and then
proceeding to consume the bread and wine is a metaphor for the
process of the indwelling light (Christ) consuming the base animal
passions and fears and also rectifying aberrant behaviour.
This gradual process is what is also meant by 'giving birth to Christ'
(an 'inner birth') in a virginal (emerging purity) way that is other
than an act of physical procreation. The successful completion of this
process produces a 'rebirth' that is accomplished by 'water' (flowing
with God's plan) and 'the spirit' or the indwelling Christ.
When
successful it gradually becomes obvious that "Christ", like Adam (See,
Genesis) is 'the original person' and enjoys an eternal existence. The
ego is not reborn but, rather, vanquished. This process
describes
the 'return path' to Christ as an inner experience which requires a
'virginal birth' (of Christ) that takes place on an 'inner level' of
the psyche.
Note: The natural
astrological house (12th) of Pisces that 'opposes' (directly across
from) Virgo is the location (warehouse) of our 'secret enemies' and is
also called the 'house of self undoing'. The 'secret enemies' operate
deeply within the psychological framework of the human being and
produce undesireable long term results until they are eliminated.
