And I'm sure that whatever form that intermediary took - angelic being/energy, ET's or whatever - it would have been just as Little Hawk said - 'an "immaculate" process ... accompanied by an immaculate (a genuinely loving) consciousness".
Surely the Lord of Love was conceived in love!
Y'know, it felt uplifting to write that!(((((((((((((((( :-) ))))))))))))))))
