See how everything relates when you change from noun to verb focus?
Yet, reductionism renamed as objective knowledge is preached by all our institutions. As anybody that's every done any LSD would know, there is NO objective reality out there with an objective observer in here that is describing that reality. Quantum physics now says the same thing through the "observer effect." Indeed, the rationalist's identification of his ways of understanding as objective winds up limiting him or her. Alex Paterson illustrates this beautifully:
Fundamental to contemporary Quantum Theory is the notion that there is no phenomenon until it is observed. This effect is known as the 'Observer Effect'.
The 'Observer Effect' has implications that are profound because, if true, it means that before anything can manifest in the physical universe it must first be observed. Presumably observation cannot occur without the pre-existence of some sort of consciousness to do the observing. The Observer Effect clearly implies that the physical Universe is the direct result of 'consciousness'.
This notion has a striking resemblance to perennial esoteric theory which asserts that all phenomena are the result of the consciousness of a single overlighting Creative Principle or the Mind of God.
There is a delicious irony in all this. Contemporary Western scientific theory postulates that human consciousness is solely a result of the workings of a physical brain, yet if the observer effect is correct, the physical matter comprising a brain cannot come into existence until it is observed.
So, what does this have to do with the Virgin Birth Story of Christmas? Everything.
In our day of rationalism, we place the virgin birth as an objective episode occurring 2,000 + years ago. Yet, if we follow the mystics throughout all traditions, including Buddhist, Taoist, Native, and so on, the birth that is spoken of is a relinquishing of our conditioned thoughts. Virginity is a state of mind in which emptiness reigns as Queen".it is the world before our naming and concretizing.
Virginity is an emptying of your conditioned mind, i.e., your brainwashing. What you think you are is a lie. In your nudity, you cannot say who you are for if you do, you are expressing your conditioning. The Virgin is before the Word, i.e., She is the infinite undifferentiated waters of Genesis 1:2. This becoming the Virgin is a tapping in the foundations of the world which is without form and void. In other words, virginity is in moving beyond the conditioning of our world. Virginity turns the world on its ear and enters into its foundation of no-thingness and timelessness. In this place, called Nirvana in Buddhism, you will realize your Self as pure Consciousness.
Though you don't realize it, you are in hiding. As Mary had to hide Her baby from the Jews and Romans, and as the Goddess in the "Book of Revelations" was given refuge by God (Chapter 12), then you are in hiding. You are hiding behind centuries of conditioning happening since before the beginning of civilization. This is where you are now. You are hiding behind a wall of egotistical lies.
