What does awareness have to do with an Ancient Gate?
December 12, 2008
Continuing from the last post I’ll focus on Mary as the Ancient Gate. What is that? This is connected to a line in the Psalms that reads: lift up your heads oh gates, be lifted up oh ancient doors that the King of Glory may come in.
Of course the King of Glory is the Christ child.
Mary being the means of the Christ child manifest in this world is the door through which the child enters.
She is the sum total of all of the human consciousness. I see her as being a focal point. Now humanity was ready to go one step further. Mary is the human vessel, the human ‘form’ that would produce a new type of offspring. This was to be a fully human and fully divine being aware of Itself. This was the new thing in the earth.
Mary on the other hand is fully human. In giving birth to the unique Christ child she is the first to open the door of a new consciousness. She is at once the Ancient gate, the sum of all human progress and she is really the new gate opening the way to a new thing, a new level of awareness all the while remaining fully human. This is the human ascending into divinity. Hence she is the beginning of a new growth in human evolution.
I’ll continue my reflection a little later, from this point.
Peace in your day.

What is Advent? What is Person?
December 10, 2008
Picking up from yesterday, what is Christ Consciousness? It simply is the power to know you are aware and to be aware that you are aware. What is Immaculate Conception? It is human evolution having arrived at the point where ‘awareness’ is possible.
In this Christian story of God uniting with humanity we have a great advent. This is something totally new. It really is the birth of the individual. Hence this is another piece that explains sounding through. Up until that time in the human story the ‘person’ could not surface as an individual but could simply be an expression of the collective. The human was basically asleep.
The Ancient Gate meant, this was as far as a human could go.
With God acting toward the highly evolved human component of Mary a New Thing happened. Consciousness became evident. God meeting and mingling with the human is the advent of what we call a higher consciousness. Hence, we have the term Christ Consciousness. In a way this was always true but now the time had come to be ‘aware’ of the intimate link of the Creator with his creature. In this alliance it is now possible to have persons sound through.
This was a new beginning in the human story, one that is continuing to unfold as more and more people become ‘aware’. In so doing they also become more and more able to express their essential selves. They sound through and consciousness expands. What leads this expansion is the Christ or Higher Consciousness. It is going on.
And I’ll go on tomorrow.
Peace in your day.

My Take On Immaculate Conception
December 9, 2008
Yesterday was the feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Mary is the start of a new era in world history.
Mary is the advent of Christ consciousness.
Mary is the Ancient Gate.
Mary is growing in wisdom and stature.
I welcome Mary into my home.
Mary is the contemplative presence and the bishop, the overseer of Christ Consciousness.
Before Jesus could become aware of His ministry He needed the protection and nurture of Mary.
The church needed Mary’s prayer as well.
Mary held the tension in faith at the foot of the cross and on the day of Pentecost.
Christ and Spirit are the infinite gifts she facilitated.
She has been growing since. So I appeal to the Mother to speak to me of the Grace she mediates into the world. By grace, we are saved through faith and this is not of ourselves, it is the gift of God.
I receive the Gift of God that is Mary the Mediatrix.
I join Mary as Silence.
Mother—I concentrate, I focus, I clarify, I select and I resolve.
The Immaculate Conception is the introduction into humanity of the requisite human element required to shift human consciousness from servility to at-one-ment.
Over the next few days I’ll explain how this relates to sounding through, in more detail.
Peace in your day.
