Virgin Birth

The idea of virgin birth was part of the mysteries of the past for thousands of years before Jesus was born by the Ancient Egyptians..

Christianity teaches that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and had therefore a physical mother, but we have also learned as children that he did not have a physical father. It is said that Joseph was not the father of Jesus but that it was God, through the "holy spirit", who caused Mary to conceive and give birth to the infant Jesus. Now one must not believe that accounts of virgin births are something peculiar to Christianity. It has been said of many of the great spiritual leaders, kings and initiates of the past that they were born of a virgin; that they were direct sons of God. However, this does not mean that those who created the expression "virgin birth" thought that the initiated did not have a physical father. The idea of virgin birth was part of the mysteries of the past. Through these mysteries one understood the truth revealed directly in a form in which it was possible for the most developed person of that time to receive it, but one in which it was impossible to pass it on in the same way to the very unintellectual and primitive public. The message is that a highly Spiritual mother and a highly Spiritual father can concieve a highly Spiritual Being like Jesus. To the general public one had to explain the truth by means of symbols and parables which could be understood and in many cases taken quite literally. All the many Egyptian deities, for example, who are depicted with animal heads and other peculiarities are symbols of cosmic principles which could not possibly be passed on to the general public in a scientific form. Basically, a mother and father at a particular spiritual level (has nothing to do with religious knowledge) will bring in a child with that same energy or vibration.

Gradually both the royalty and the clergy degenerated and the real knowledge behind the mysteries was lost so that those who were to lead and guide the people (which were invaders who stole the throne of pharaoh) gradually became as naive about religious matters as the people themselves. People took the parables and symbols literally and religion became mere ceremonies and dogmas. While a king or high priest of the past who was really initiated into the mysteries knew what lay hidden in the expression "virgin birth" and that behind this expression there was no reference whatsover to physical birth, neither the priests of a later time who had not undergone such an initiation nor the religious authorities of our time knew anything of these mysteries and therefore believed and still believe that it is a matter of a real physical event which, because it is not common, must be described as a miracle.
