Is there anything more you could say about the Christ-mind and why it needs a feminine alternative, please? Sorry, I didn't quite follow that part.
You may not find this a helpful interjection; but, FWIW, the Egyptian Mystery Schools teach that Jesus always and only referred to the divine in the feminine. It was the patriarchal Romans who made God a "He."

That's very intriguing, Tirion. Do you have some references for the Egyptian Mystery Schools?
If we see Jesus as a historical figure, rather than a fictional character, he would be the person described by the historical markers in the four gospels--name, birth and death, events, quotes. Which of these carry over to the Egyptian narrative, to indicate it's the same person they're talking about? I was surprised to learn that there's no written copy of the gospels until the 4th c under Constantine, and then only in Greek. In those quotes Jesus refers to God as his Father and speaks very harshly to his mother. Also calls the Samaritan woman a dog.
I don't see Jesus and Christ as synonymous because I interpret the Christ as the one who sees the Christ in all of us. But I'm very interested in the clues you provide, thanks for that!
No, no written references, Tereza. As far as I know, the Egyptian Mystery Schools are an oral rather than a written tradition. I heard it many years ago from someone who was an initiate of one of the Schools. She referred to Jesus as Yeshua ben Yosef and could recite The Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, the English translation of which bore only a vague resemblance to the version given to us by the Romans. She claimed that Jesus had spent his missing years at the School in Alexandria, where he became a kundalini yoga master and their High Priest, before returning to Judea to begin his ministry.
As for the Gospels, I think they are based on truth and contain some fine moral teachings; but they were written by, for and on behalf of the political exigencies of patriarchal Rome. Separating fact from fiction, as with all good propaganda, is tricky!
Also interesting to note that Constantine was raised in the British apostolic church founded by Joseph of Arimathea around AD 37 (decades before Christianity reached Rome) by his mother, the British Empress St Helen of The Cross, who herself claimed descent from The Holy Family (as did/do many Ancient British royal/princely families) through her father King Cole, that merry old soul of the nursery rhyme.
