The Virgin is eternal, uncreated and unborn: it is the Wisdom of God and a likeness of the Godhead. For Boehme man is more, than a mere creature, in him there is the eternal, the heavenly, the Divine element, the element of Sophia. The soul was as a virgin, man was created with a virginal and pure soul, i.e. to it corresponded the heavenly and Divine element. It is necessary to seek the Sophia-virgin in man and to give birth to her seed - spiritual soul/ But within the ancient epoch this Virgin Wisdom did not give birth to the Logos. Whereas the new Age passes on to the Son of the Virgin Wisdom — to the Logos, which is there on the physical plane through the human word, or language. For human speech should be regarded from the point of view of its connection with Wisdom as a reflection of it. R.STEINER: There is actually active in the human being an ancient feminine principle as group-soul and a new masculine principle as individualising element -Mind. It will come about that all connections of race and family stock will cease to exist, men will become more and more different from one another,through self- evolvement and interconnection will no longer depend on the common blood, but on what binds soul to soul - thought. That is the course of human evolution. In earthly life of man, Wisdom lives itself out through human thought. The air that is breathed out through our larynx, configured through our larynx and its movements, is wedded to the Wisdom that dwells in our thoughts; and the content we have to express is the inspiring Spirit. Every time we speak — it is representation of the Trinity. The thought in the head, and the configured air that passes through the larynx, — these two arc wedded and united under the influence of the Spirit (that is to say, when you are voicing things of the sense-world, united by the percept itself). It is indeed the earthly expression of the Trinity. And the Divine, the spiritual Trinity, must stand behind it, which expresses the Universal content, R.Distasi: Steiner brings to our attention that at the moment of Baptism, the following words were resounding out of the universe.; This is my Son, imbued with my Love, in Whom I manifest myself. The Father and the spiritual world manifest themselves to humanity in the flesh through the Christ who became One with Jesus of Nazareth. The whole Earth takes part in every life process. If this is the case in a physical life process, you will not find it incomprehensible that in an event such as the Baptism the whole spiritual world participated, and that much, very much, occurred in order that this might take place. At the same moment when the Spirit of Christ descended into the body of Jesus of Nazareth and the transformation occurred as described, an influence was exerted upon the Mother of Jesus of Nazareth as well. It consisted in her regaining her virginity at this moment of the Baptism; that is, her inner organism reverted to the state existing before puberty. At the birth of the Christ, the Mother of Jesus of Nazareth became a virgin but not only in the physical sence. We have read from, The Fifth Gospel, that at this moment the her soul began to be imbued with the forces of the Divine Sophia - buddhi, spiritual creation, and that of the Spirit Self - Manas, the masculine that which continually breaks through crystalised conditions, splits them up and so individualises mankind. Boehme taught, that God became incarnate as Person only in Christ, in the Second Hypostasis of the Trinity, and therefore already Christ had to be an androgyne, a virginal-youth, i.e. the image of the perfect Person. Christ Himself was not only neither masculine nor feminine in our earthly sense, but He likewise freed us from the griphold of the masculine and the feminine. from Jacob Boehme, R.Steiner, R . Distasi.
