Chapter Seven: You are the Virgin Mary

The word "seed" carries with it remarkable symbolism. Jesus used the word "seed" many times as he sought to relay a powerful image and to reveal the process of Divinity’s investment into humanity, into the garden of man’s consciousness. This germination and growth process has spanned millennia and has is now reaching its coming of age. This Divine consciousness that has been embedded into the human being uses intuition to aid in its interpretation of reality; it utilizes symbolism and metaphor, by-passing limited human reasoning and employing it as a servant only when necessary. As mentioned in Chapter One, the intuitive mind is activated and comes as a "thief in the night" to apprehend spiritual truths in unfolding human consciousness by doing away with literalism. "Night" represents our darkened consciousness. This "Christ" consciousness appears suddenly and becomes the premiere operating system within our human consciousness. Once activated, Christ consciousness becomes the mode of being. It is impossible to turn back to the old operating system once it has "crashed."

Jesus personified or modeled the amalgamation of God and man, or a human being where God dwells inside of man. Remember he said in John 14:7 "If you have seen me you have seen the Father" as Jesus did not see himself as separate from God. Christians see God as external from them and worship Him externally by obeying the commandments, attending church, and by paying tithes, etc. Generally speaking, human consciousness up to this point generally sees itself as separate from God, and that God as an entity exists outside of them.

And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven Spirits of God. Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. (Revelation 4:1-6)

The door standing open in heaven is the intuitive mind where Christ consciousness resides. This is an allegorical description for an elevated position in consciousness, heaven representing the metaphorical "upper room" where the disciples met with the Christ. Subtle shifts in our understanding of historical texts may reveal several hidden mysteries including the understanding that the twenty-four elders are the twelve-paired cranial nerves. This is something to think about for sure. There are many excellent
