As Christians around the world prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, their “Son of God,” it is an opportune time to consider the metaphysical ideas that are the root and origin of all the allegories about “Sons of God” born of immaculate virgins. The doctrine of immaculate conception relates to the earliest stages of cosmogenesis according to the Esoteric Philosophy.
What do the characters, the trinity of Father-Mother-Son, who take part in the drama of the origin of the universe represent?
The Father is the infinite, all-embracing, unity because It is the origin of all. Philosophically, It is not a being, rather It is Be-ness. It cannot be a “Father” because It is sexless. It has no attributes whatsoever.

The divine immaculate Mother is Primordial Substance in its latent resting homogeneous abstract condition before becoming the differentiated and objective matter from which all worlds and beings are formed. The “Virgin Mother” is the primordial deep or Chaos.
The Son has a dual aspect. It is the universe in germ in its latent eternal unmanifested potentiality that will eventually come forth in its periodical, manifested potency. Hence, in its unmanifested state it is Divine Thought - the universe that was, is, and always will be.
What does immaculate conception symbolize?
Periodically, Primordial Substance (the Virgin-Mother) is impressed (fructified) with a ray of Divine Thought. Primordial Substance differentiates (expands from within without) as the manifested and objective universe (Son) comes into being. The unmanifested Divine Thought becomes the creative manifested Logos (Universal Original Archetype), or as symbolized in exoteric religion, the male creator(creative male element in nature) - the son born through the immaculate mother. The collective hierarchies of creative spiritual intelligent powers, symbolized by the creative male Deity, continue to bring forth the macrocosm - the manifested universe - and the earth and humanity as its microcosmic reflection. The manifestation of any human form and personality is the child of the creative power of thought working on and through various degrees of substance.
@ ( LOGOS from Ancient Greek means 'WORD, or Primordial SOUND-Vibration', which Originated from the Universal Matrix (Ain-SOPH) and Created the First Original (primordial) External Field in the Entire Universe...(TAO TZen Ching)...So, basically, Logos - is a 'symbolic' expression of the Universal Chi life Force Energy in 'Actions'...The further concept of 'Logos', definitely, connected with the Universal Level of MONADS (Individualized Cosmic Units-Supreme Intelligent 'Elements of Nature' = Sephirah, Spheres, Fields, Dimensions, etc...)
Excerpt:
“For one has but to read the Kabala and study its numerical methods of interpretation to find the origin of that dogma. It is purely astronomical, mathematical, and pre-eminently metaphysical: the Male element in Nature (personified by the male deities and Logoi — Viraj, or Brahmâ; Horus, or Osiris, etc., etc.) is born through, not from, an immaculate source, personified by the "Mother"; because that Male having a Mother cannot have a "Father" — the abstract Deity being sexless, and not even a Being but Be-ness, or Life itself.” (SD I, pg. 59)
