Meaning of the Virgin Birth

The Virgin Birth
is the emergence of spiritual awareness,
immaculate,
from animal consciousness;

fathered only by spirit.

The virgin birth of a god
is common in religion and myth.

It is a metaphor of the great awakening,
the emergence of divine grace
from animals fighting for survival.
It is the birth of spiritual man
from animal man.

Animal life is focused on eating,
on reproduction,
on power over other creatures.

Higher than any of these
is the power of compassion.
Instead of inflicting suffering on others,
the suffering of others is shared.
It is the emergence of humanity.
It is the birth of God.

Have you died to your animal nature?
Have you been reborn to compassion for all beings?
