Concerning Mary, mother of Jesus: her name in Biblical Hebrew is מרים, which corresponds to m r y m, Mem Resh Yad Mem.
You may think it means “something something the sea”. The sea is Mem, which is engulfing the head of creation (Resh, head; Yad, creation; Jesus Christ, John 1). Mem means water in Aramaic, though it means blood in Proto-Sinatic. It refers to Gentiles, who are dead in sin, as opposed to Hebrews who are alive in the spirit. All instances of water in the scripture refer to Gentiles. The name Mary, or Miriam מרים literally means “Christ in man”.
So we have the figure of Mary, who is a symbol of all Gentiles. Her marriage to Joseph represents the marriage of the Jews to the Gentiles which bore Christ (in all people, 1 Corinthians 12; 1 Kings 11:1-3), which is the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus across all people. Because we have received the blood of the Jews, we may choose chastity and become baptized by the Holy Spirit and conceive of the Christ, even as Mary did. Therefore she is not our mother, she is ourselves.
Luke 8:21 And he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
