The Virgin Birth and Natural Law

Wouldn’t a “virgin birth” be against natural laws? What would be the purpose, anyway?

Nothing is more natural than the supernatural! God is the only “natural” thing there is.

Just as there are many strata in the earth and in the sea, so there are many levels of existence with their own laws. The higher supercede the lower. Until humans discovered the laws of aerodynamics they could not fly–it seemed impossible, even miraculous.

Once a spirit has attained to Supreme Consciousness the rules are completely different. Remember, our bodies are in exact correspondence to our level of consciousness. A human body is for human consciousness. How, then, can Divine Consciousness manifest through a human body? It cannot. So a kind of “hybrid” body, human-yet-divine, is needed. Otherwise the body will be electrocuted or blown apart by the incredible force that is normal for an avatar (divine incarnation). It seems that such a great one can have a mother, but not a father. The elements of a body can be drawn from a human mother, but that which is usually “supplied” by the father must be created or manifested in a special form. These women experience a great light entering into them and pervading them, and so the conception occurs. So it was with the mothers of Buddha and Jesus. This was seen by several people in the case of Sri Ramakrishna’s mother. All the ins and outs are incomprehensibe to us. What matters is the teaching of such sacred persons, for by following their words we also come into spiritual alignment with them and receive great blessings and upliftment. They really are “saviors,” but not in the lazy way supposed by Christians.
