NEPHILIM OR GIANTS
Early physical human forms; mostly Lemurian, some
Atlantean. In these rugged forms mind is first aroused.
"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
bare children to them." - GENESIS. vi. 4.
These Nephilim are the monsters which are pre-human and semi-animal.
They correspond in soul life to the early attempts at
Self-realization, which are possible only through the agency of such
clumsy modes of expression as are appropriate to the sub-human
kingdoms of nature. The ideals of the minds, or spiritual egos (sons
of God), conjoined to the processes of the lower planes, give
rise to the "children of men," the progeny of mind, or mental-astro-physical
forms. It is as the cosmic forces work through the personality while
guided from the individuality, that the "sons of men" are born, that
is, the successive incarnations are engendered.
"Like a beautiful seedling hidden away within a rough and ugly husk,
through which it must break in order to achieve itself, our divine
selfhood has been hidden and compressed within material conditions.
Consciousness has had to use first one kind of vehicle and then
another, and as the vehicle so has been the quality of the
self-expression." - R. J. CAMPBELL, Serm., Solidarity of Spiritual
Experience.
