Mark 5: 22ff -- Jairus' Daughter was the Woman with the Issue of Blood.
In my opinion Mark was written by a Buddhist missionary to Palestine who had learned Judaism better than the Jews. His "Jesus" was the spiritual inner man in every one of us. Hence, Mark is virtually a reconciliation of Buddhism and Judaism.
Jairus means "Enlightener." His "daughter" is sick unto death. The feminine gender has to do with the birthing of what is desired into manifest reality, and Jairus' idea isn't doing too hot. His desire is failing; not getting birthed into manifestation. So he enlists Jesus, the Life-giver, to help him.
Jairus' "daughter" is what he is trying to get birthed into manifestation, but the spiritual principle of giving birth to the living goes back to Eve. Jairus has been trying to get things going on his own, unenlightenedly--without the agency of the Almighty, Jesus. If he could just get his idea of what he wants reconciled with the underlying principle that God--Christ-in-us--gives life to our desires. . .
. . . and he finds Christ . . .
. . . Jairus' sickly, bleeding conception of the principle of how to get his desires birthed has been to the doctors of religion: "Light an extra Sabbath candle"; "Offer a fatter goat"; "Say three 'Hail Marys' and throw holy water over your left shoulder." But Jairus catches a glimpse of the oneness of ourselves with God: Says Christ, "I--I go with you (in you , AS you, because I AM you)." Even if it is just the outer fringes of God consciousness, Jesus graciously enlightens as to the nature of God.
Jairus' house is his life. The Life-giver has entered and the underlying pattern of YHWH brings light into Jairus' consciousness. His desire can now be properly birthed. He has found the key to success.
Post Script:
It occurs to me that this could be confusing to the uninitiated. You do not go to some place to find Jesus and he does not come to you from some place else. Jesus is the inner "man" who is "you." He is the spiritual consciousness that YOU are in your thinking that you are, well, you. He is God and is fully aware of it, while you are God and are NOT fully aware of it. As God he has all the nature of God: power, wisdom, grace, etc. This "nature" is the Law. "Going to him" is mental; it is accepting the presence of God in you in attitude, in humility, awe and gratitude. Jesus' "coming to us" is in amplitude of his spiritual power and wisdom. These are potted up, quickening us. We gain insight and understanding. Our awareness of his presence and our Godhood become substantive faith. We do not think he is real; we KNOW he is real. We continue, of course, to work out the differences between him and us. This is the oddness: he is us and we him: not one, but not two. We have to get our part to be just like his part, even as they are One. I use the image of a coin--beautiful, polished and perfect on the top, and ugly, marred and dirty on the bottom. How do we make our side just like his side? By realizing that we simply are of what the coin itself is, which is the Ineffable, the Most High God.
