Forbidden Mysteries of Enoch

Following quote taken from Forbidden mysteries of Enoch by Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

Only begotten son of God.

     The doctrine of the only begotten Son of God having been misconstrued to designate one son only, namely Jesus, the Anointed, would of course make this theory preposterous to today’s Christians. However, when correctly understood, the Christ, “the only begotten Son of God”, is revealed to the soul by the Holy Spirit to be the true Self of every son of God, “the light which lighteth [ignites the divine spark in] every man that cometh into the world. Christ, the Light, the Word, is therefore an office and a mantle which the son of God by the Fathers grace may ‘put on’ and ‘become’ , fully integrating with and assimilating the only begotten of God until he does embody or incarnate that Christ, or that Christ-consciousness which Jesus as the embodiment of the son of God had the power to ignite, as John writes: “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of god, even to them that believe on his name; which were born, not  of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13.


Then from the same book.  Taken from the writings of Origen of Alexandria (186-255)

“angels may become men or demons, and again from the latter they may rise to be men or angels.”
“If any rational, incorporeal, invisible creature is negligent, it will gradually fall to lower levels and there assume a body.  The sort of body it assumes will depend on the place it falls into.”
“those who, either owing to mental deficiencies, deserved to enter into bodies, or those who were carried away by their desire for visible things,(idolatry) either willingly or unwillingly, were compelled…to perform certain services to such as had fallen into that condition.”
Origens commentary on the Gospel of John.  “From the beginning, those who have occupied the most eminent positions among men and been markedly superior to others have been angels in human form. This explains the passage in Scripture which says that John was one of God’s messengers, or angels, who came in the body to bear witness to the light.”

Origen also believed that wicked angels could incarnate as men.
