Mary Through the Centuries : Her Place in the History of Culture
|
... Finally, the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all guilt
of original sin, on the completion of her earthly sojourn, was taken
up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as
Queen of the universe, that she might be the more fully conformed to
her Son, the Lord of lords and the conqueror of sin and death.
..Pope Paul VI, November 21, 1964 |
Scholars often sight the similarities
between Isis, the Virgin Mother of the Egyptian Karast- Horus, and Mary,
the Virgin Mother of the Hebrew Christ - Jesus, and indeed the
similarities are astounding. They would be more astounding if we could
say the Ancient Egyptians were a different species not possessing a
Human Psyche inwardly drawn to the hidden lure of our personal and
societal primal origins in the Arms of our loving mothers.
Many,
if not most ancient religions had a story of a virgin birth
of its primary god. Most people reject all these stories except the one
connected with their own religion. Their Own religion is the religion
that their own Loving Mother {and father} inducted them into from the
earliest part of their lives, the personal mystical part of their lives,
the memories of which the cognizant mind can only draw vague memories it
is largely buried/gone but never forgotten. Our inner selves will
always long for a return to that innocent beloved Child which we once
were.
The Roman Catholic version of the Virgin Mary contains similes to the
ancient
Legend of Tammuz, and his mother Semiramis as well as
other pagan Babylonian religions. For instance , Nimrod the
Sun god is known as Baal. Semiramis, as the female divinity, would be
called Baalti. This word translated into English means "My Lady."
In Latin it would be translated "Mea Domina". This name becomes the name
"Madonna" which is the name by which the Virgin Mary is often referred.
The same reasoning can be said of "Mediatrix", which Mary is also
called. Mary received that title from "Mylitta" (mediatrix) which was
one of the names of the Mother Goddess of Babylon. "The Queen of Heaven"
is another name for Mary that has been adopted from the pagan Babylonian
religions, and is documented in the Old Testament Book of Jeremiah (Jeremiah
7:18 , 44:17-19, 44:25}

of the Virgin Mary, believed by others to be fabrications and illusions
have been reported since the initiation of written history. Some may

apparitions to Human

2.}Prophetic apparitions, where future
events are predicted and or warned of, generally in an attempt to effect
their outcome. - A basic understanding of history is required to

Prime Directive."

Esperanza 1987- ?
Lvov, Ukraine - Easter 1985
during the celebration of the Liturgy at the Cathedral of the Holy
Virgin Mary, In full view of a great throng there suddenly appeared
through the window pane a cloud "as bright as a ray of sunlight." It
slowly took the shape of a human form, and all acknowledged it to be
the Virgin Mary. In a spiritual impulse, the people started to pray
aloud and call upon Her for help. People standing outside also saw
in the window the image of the Virgin Mary and tried to enter and
prayed aloud. The throng kept increasing as news of the miracle
spread. All efforts of the communist militia to disperse those
praying were in vain. People started to come from Kiev and the
surrounding regions ,and the atheistic Communist governor of Lvov
requested that Moscow send some experts to investigate what was
going on. The "scholars" began to argue that there were no
miracles so that the people should disperse. Suddenly the Virgin
spoke: "Pray; repent from your sins, since there is little time
left …" After this She cured many cripples and sick. The vision of
the Virgin Mary and the cures continued for three and a half weeks,
and She spoke much on the salvation of mankind, as the people
remained there day and night.

Medjugorje: The Untold Story
"Appearances of
beings purported by the witnesses to be apparitions of the Virgin
Mary,
believed by others to be fabrications and illusions have been reported
since the initiation of written history. Some may well be the Virgin
Mary, some may be evil apparitions spawned in Hell, and some may
well be fabrications of convenience by those seeking to advance their
personal greed and agendas." The founder of Christianity used as
his symbol a fish {Not a Cross} this does not mean that purported
apparitions of the woman who gave birth to him need smell "Fishy".

Virgin Mother of Alexander the Great. Alexander the Great and his
mother were real people, they existed outside of the fairy tale realm.
That Alexander was a great man is undeniable, he is primarily known as a
conqueror, but in reality he was centuries ahead of the rest of the
World in his thinking and ideology. A military Genius, as well as
organizational and philosophical. He built an empire rivaling Rome but
it was short lived and could not survive after his death. A
god-like persona and legends developed about him and his birth was
hailed as being by a Virgin, while at the same time he had a mortal
father. The spark of a religious system that starting developing
about him fizzled out after his death.

Virgin Mother of Hesus. In 40 AD Christian missionaries came upon a
Pagan/Druid village in France, The Druids had a statue of The Virgin
Mary and her Divine Son. This statue was placed in their shrine 100
years before the birth of Jesus Christ and was dedicated "to the Virgin
who would have a Son." The Druid god/idol ESUS is most likely who
was depicted by these Druids. Their traditions , more than two thousand
years old, represent the mother of Esus {Also referred to as Hesus} as
being enveloped in light, with a crown of twelve stars upon her
head.
