Part Two
In Zaragoza, Spain
in the first Christian century
Mary the Mother of Jeshua
appeared to the apostle Santiago (James)
over a Pillar of light. This is where my first name,
Maria del Pilar, comes from.
This first “Marian” Apparition
might have happened at the very moment
of Mary’s transition to the next octave, her
Assumption. This spiritual manifestation was of
great importance, for it is a miracle time has not
erased. It lies at the very foundation of the
Christian Faith in Spain. Visions such as this
hold together the very fabric of culture and civilization.
In an esoteric sense the Pillar
(over which or inside of which Mary stood)
is the ANTAHKARANA, The Central Pillar,
“Bindu” Tube of Light; Vertical Axis;
Wormhole that connects each one of us
to Heaven. It is our inherent innate Divinity,
Breath of God: Spirit!
I visualize this pillar as a most perfect
Dorian Column shinning white: Glowing white!
To link to celestial energies I hold visions of
Pillars of Light.
You may prefer whirls of crystal Light
or cascading waters . Imagination can be
full of splendor!
Mary of the Pillar “la Virgen del Pilar”
is the unquestionable matron of Spain
and therefore of all the Hispanic World.
As a child I was called Pilarica
which is how La Virgen del Pilar
is referred to in Spain. Diminutives are
endearing appellatives of love.
La Pilarica is a particularly rich diminutive
singled out for our celestial Mother,
carved out undying ancestral devotion in the
Latin world for The Divine Mother.
When a Spaniard or South American says
La Pilarica
he offers unconditional childlike love
to the Celestial Mother.
By the sacred logic of human history
it was on la Pilarica’s holiday
(Or maybe it later became her feast day?)
when Columbus discovered America,
October the 12th. In the Catholic Church
Columbus became a canonized saint, this
century. In the esoteric tradition he is St. Germain,
an incarnation, a bestowal of the Patriarch of the
New Age. Master of the seventh ray,
the Violet flame of freedom.
He inspired the American Constitution
the democratic foundation for this New world.
(If you have never heard about
Ascended Masters or the White Brotherhood
do not worry, we can talk about this later)
Cristóbal Colón’s first gesture on stepping upon
this continent was to dedicate it to Mary, to
La Virgen del Pilar. To Maria del Pilar
(my name!)
Notice that the digits of my birth date
1942 are equal to the digits of 1492,
the year of the discovery of America,
a pivotal moment in human history!
Five centuries have gone by. I feel we again stand
at a historical crossroad. In the Hispanic world
the twelve of October became a feast day
EL DIA DE LA RAZA:
I want to propose that it becomes an international
holyday: THE DAY OF ONE HUMAN RACE
— A CONCEPT HUMANITY IS ARRIVING AT
(Specially after 911.)
All of us Humans are individually connected to
Heaven through the Pillar of my name.
I am reflecting on the meaning and origin of my
name to share it with all people,
to help incarnate the full understanding Of ONE
WORLD. Our names are our identity and our
destiny. Through my name I understand
how all races of people are different aspects of the
ONE. Multiple faces of god in the play of Life.
I am a Priest in the priesthood of Melchizedeck.
My vow is “to teach and heal a world in
transformation and renewal”
I am also a Priestess of The Living Earth
to uphold the Glory of Mother Earth
I AM sharing the meaning of my personal name
to help heal our world!
My name and my essence say, ” it is time to end
all bigotry and injustice: IT IS TIME FOR ONE WORLD, ONE PEOPLE.”
IN CLAIMING MY NAME I bestow it, it belongs to
all of us, for WE ARE ONE.
All Humanity is one Spirit
MARIA is the essence of the feminine
PILAR Our vertical connection to SPIRIT.
I recently heard of a man in Spain
named Pilar. This name was only given
to girls before, perhaps real progress is happening
in Spain! Pilar grammatically
is a “masculine” noun (Phallic symbol no doubt.)
I am happy that now my personal name
includes both gendra.
In my identity I strive for the full balance
and complete honoring of the Masculine
and the Feminine. The balanced human.
I have always called myself a poet not a poetess;
a massage therapist not a masseuse;
even a Master, not a Mistress
and I believe we need to see ourselves
as Masters!
To me it is simple to understand
that even though of course in Earth life
we wear one costume or the other
we humans in soul are equal.
To eliminate prejudice injustice bigotry and war
in the outside we need to start inside
our own identity, balancing our masculine
and feminine. Who Are You? what is your name?
* * * *
I AM claiming my name
MARY FOR THE FEMININE
PILAR FOR SPIRIT
where all divisions disappear. I am claiming my
name for Earth, for peace
NOW.
For man and for women as equals
just wearing different bodies
for the joy of Earth life.
I personally and America as a whole:
–Synthesis of all races
Religions and cultures–
Belong to Mary, and Mary belongs to all of us!
A New Age of Light is dawning on Earth.
Through history, the Supreme Feminine
has had many names Kwan Yin, Maat, Minerva.
She proudly presides over this continent
in one of her best costumes as the Statue of Liberty
in New York Harbor. Once I saw that statue
totally encased in an intricate majestic
scaffolding hundred of feet tall: being repaired!
Is it not fascinating how the outer physical world
perfectly reflects our inner reality, the true essence
of life. Liberty inside an intricate grid-work,
being repaired! Isn’t that what is happening on
Earth? As well as to us each one of us?
A new grid is birthing us now, repairing the
very foundation of our humanness.
The old grid is dying away.
Many of our past structures, foundations of our
civilization are obsolete and outmoded.
A new synthesis is needed. We humans are being
repaired, Re-coded, re-structured.
Like Mary’s symbol in our harbor at this End-
times: at the end of this cosmic cycle!
We are living a crucial evolutionary moment.
This is the essence of my personal reflection.
Cross roads in history.
To survive Humanity must change!
Another name in my baptismal certificate
is O f e l i a,
name or my Earthly mother. I also wish to own
this name. Like most people in my culture
I had not even a faint idea of the meaning of this
my inner name.
The placement of O F H E L I A
as a middle name between my other names
means that it is my subconscious
submerged, hidden aspect.
I imagine Ofelia as my angelic guide,
A muse to help me understand life
in this dust world.
She helps me remember my true origin.
We all have guides and all our guides are
connected, (They are Atman or Spirit), we are
multidimensional beings.
I think of Ophelia as my guardian angel. I invite
her poetic expression into these reflections now as I
approach age 50, on the twenty seven of August
1992. Fifty years is half a century, an important
moment in my personal journey.
So I am Maria Ofelia del Pilar
first name given to me at birth, my essence
my true self, for this human journey on Earth.
I wish to discover my hidden truth, to distill my inner essence.
Alvear, my last name,
Arabic legacy from Moorish Spain,
means whitening the final stage of alchemy.
May these writings help all of us achieve clarity in
realizing the meanings of our human names!
Thanks be to the One,
Glory be to Its Name.
