VIRGO

A symbol of the sixth period of the cycle of life. It signifies the completion of the process of involution resulting in the one perfect matrix of Matter fully permeated and informed by Spirit, and ready to bring forth the qualities and the Christ in the many souls during the subsequent six periods of evolution.

"Methodius holds that Christ is not only arch-shepherd and arch-prophet, but also archetypal virgin." - HARNACK, Hist. of Dogma, Vol. III. p. 112.

Christ, the Archetypal Man, who is perfected and dies in involution, is also the archetypal Virgo who brings forth, as Mother Matter, all things during evolution: " 'for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible " - (COL. i. 16).
