Conceive of something you desire. Just think of it. The mere thinking of something, that is a conception unaided by another. Is that not an "immaculate conception?" You knew no one in the formulation of your desire. Now you intend to realize it. It is clear in your mind's eye - it is a holy conception - it is a virgin conception. Can you bring about that something that seemingly is not existing - it is non-existent - it has no existence in fact, and embody it? Can you incarnate it? For this is the mystery of the incarnation that comes by water and blood. Here is a birth that could take place if I am willing to give it human parentage. I must give it human parentage - it cannot of itself be born, for unless I myself become it, it cannot be born; so I desire to be something other than what I am. ... Now the virgin birth; can I bring it from its invisible state and really make it a tangible fact within my world ? Try it!
An 'immaculate conception' is the pure, unaided mental formulation of a desire. The 'virgin birth' is the act of bringing this conceived desire from its invisible, non-existent state into tangible, physical reality through the individual's assumption and embodiment of that state.
