Mary - The Mother of Jesus

It's Christmas time and a time when many of us begin to celebrate the birth of Christ.  It's the season of giving and we exchange gifts and pleasantries with many, expressing our gratitude and love for those that touch our lives.

For me this day is a peculiar time.  I often think of not only Christmas, but all of the other religions and how they celebrate and what they believe.  For Catholics this time often tells a story about Mary, the mother of Jesus and the immaculate conception.  Some say it's the fact that Mary was born without sin, others say it's that she conceived Jesus without a partner.  Here is what wikipedia says:

Mary (mother of Jesus)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


According to the Bible, Mary (Aramaic: Maryām; 1st century BC – early 1st century AD) was an Israelite Jewish[1] woman of Nazareth in Galilee and the mother of Jesus. Among her many other names and titles are Saint Mary, Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and Virgin Mary in Western churches, Theotokos in Orthodox Christianity, and Maryam, mother of Isa in Islam. She is identified in the New Testament[Mt 1:16,18-25][Lk 1:26-56][2:1-7][2]and in the Qur'an as the mother of Jesus through divine intervention. Christians hold her son Jesus to be Christ (i.e., the messiah) and God the Son Incarnate (see Trinitarian monotheism), whereas Muslims do not regard Jesus as the messiah, but rather as one of the most important prophets of God sent to humanity.

The canonical gospels of Matthew and Luke describe Mary as a virgin (Greek παρθένος, parthénos).[3] Traditionally, Christians believe that she conceived her son miraculously by the agency of the Holy Spirit.

The Story in the Bible

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, 'Greetings, you who are highly favoured! The Lord is with you.'

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favour with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.'

'How will this be,' Mary asked the angel, 'since I am a virgin?'

The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.'

'I am the Lord's servant,' Mary answered. 'May it be to me as you have said.' Then the angel left her.

Luke 1:26-38

There are several things that jump out at me from these readings.  First is the fact that the Holy Spirit was going to give Mary a child.  Not only Mary but Elizabeth, her relative, because nothing is impossible with God.  Is this passage talking about a sheer sweeping of the hand of God in favor or is it the favor the angel is speaking of talking about her communion with her higher self?

You see this could seem very mysterious for many.  She got pregnant with a child without ever being with a man.  But Holy Spirit suggests to me that perhaps there was an exchange in energies, and that perhaps even Mary's twin on the other side of the veil had something to do with this conception.  

You see as they mention Joseph as the son of David it makes me think of Solomon.  Solomon was also a decendant of David which brings us back to Solomons Seal or the superimposed triangles we have mentioned so often on this blog.  This is the illustration of both female and male energies coming together.  Both creating the seal and also a vehicle called the Merkabah which is said to not only signify creation, but is able to transport light bodies from one dimension to another.  This is the vehicle that many have witnessed seeing at very holy events and sightings.  Perhaps this is what happened when Mary conceived.  

As we make our way back into the light the consciousness of the planet is changing itself.  It's been said that there will be a gathering of the tribes of Israel.  Not in a physical sense, but in a spiritual sense.  That those from previous incarnations, like Davids descendants, will come or have come back to assist humanity in a new way of living, a new consciousness and bring back the promise of New Life.

I have had a very powerful experience with the Blessed Mother in my childhood.  She, like many others, still seeks to assist humanity and can intercede on your behalf.  Perhaps this Christmas we can all make a little room for some gratitude for Mary as we also celebrate the birth of Jesus.  For without her, her sacrifice and humility, Jesus may have never been born.
