Nephilim, The Giants of the Carnal Mind

The Nephilim are mysterious beings in the Bible who are described as being large and strong. In Hebrew the word Nephilim directly translates to "the fallen ones".

Genesis 6:4
The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them

Earth: First stage of consciousness (lower mind)
Sons : Our thoughts from the lower or higher consciousness
Daughters : Thoughts from our emotional mind

The Nephilim were in the earth (in the carnal mind) in those days
when the sons of God (when the thoughts of the divine)
came in unto the daughters of men (mixed with the emotions of men)
and they bore children to them (the Nephilim were created)

What this is telling us is that when we have thoughts of divinity from our higher consciousness that mix with the emotions of our lower consciousness we then create the religious giants that dominate us. Religion is a creation of the carnal mind and it dominates our society.

What happened to the Nephilim in the bible?

An interpretation is that God granted ten percent of the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim to remain after the flood, as demons, to try to lead the human race astray until the final Judgment.

What does the bible say we are to tithe? 10%

Our carnal mind is only 10% of who we are. When we give that 10% to God all things will be bestowed upon us.

Of interest “disembodied spirits” as used above does not mean ghosts. It means they are the thoughts that are no longer in the body (mind) of Christ / God. They live only in the body of man, more specifically in the carnal mind of man.

Be not a minister of the letter (literal).
