And, now, what are the Occult Teachings—the Secret Doctrine—
regarding the Real Virgin Birth of Jesus? Just this: that the Spirit of Jesus was
fresh from the bosom of the Absolute—Spirit of Spirit—a Virgin Birth of
Spirit. His Spirit had not traveled the weary upward path of Reincarnation
and repeated Rebirth, but was Virgin Spirit fresh from the Spirit—a very
Son of the Father—begotten not created. This Virgin Spirit was incarnated
in His body, and there began the life of Man, not fully aware of His own
nature, but gradually awakening into knowledge just as does every human
soul, until at last the true nature of His Being burst upon him, and he saw
that he indeed was God incarnate. In his short life of thirty-three years—
thirty years of preparation, and three years of ministry, Jesus typified and
symbolized the Life of the Race. Just as he awakened into a perception of his
Divine Nature, so shall the race awaken in time. Every act in the Life of Jesus
typified and symbolized the life of every individual soul, and of the race.
We all have our Garden of Gethsemane—each is Crucified, and Ascends to
Higher Planes. This is the Occult Doctrine of the Virgin Birth of Christ. Is it
not a worthy one—is it not at least a higher conception of the human mind,
than the physical Virgin Birth legend?
As we proceed with our lessons, we shall bring out the details of the
Occult Teachings concerning the Divine Nature of Christ—the Spirit within
the Human Form. And, in these references and instruction, you will see even
more clearly that nature of the Spiritual Virgin Birth of Jesus.
The original Christians were instructed in the Truth concerning the Virgin
Birth, that is, those who were sufficiently intelligent to grasp it. But after the
great Teachers passed away, and their successors became overzealous in
their desire to convert the outside peoples, the influx of the latter gradually
overcame the original teachings, and the physical Virgin Birth and the
Resurrection of the Body, became Doctrines and Articles of Faith, held of
vital importance by the new orthodox leaders. It has taken centuries of
mental struggle, and spiritual unfoldment to bring the Light of the Truth to
bear upon this dark corner of the Faith, but the work is now fairly under way,
