“When men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them, the sons of Elohim saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took to wife such of them as they chose…The Nephilim were on the earth in those days…”
(Gen.6:1-2,4)
The Books of Moses are either a complete fiction or a true history of humanity from its very beginnings, written in a pre-Babel language and subsequently 
mistranslated by later generations of interpreters who no longer knew the metaphors and meanings of their ancestors. Emmanuel Swedeborg, scientist-mystic of XVIIIc., deciphered some of the biblical texts as far as his own knowledge and beliefs allowed him to do so. In his monumental work “The Celestial Mysteries”, he based his interpretation of the puzzling stories on the theory that all the visible things in the material world are symbolic representations of the invisible world. Knowledge about the analogous nature of our reality is what he called the science of correspondences – the art of reading the metaphorical language of the most ancient members of the human family. Swedenborg could not accept the possibility of the “sons of God” being attracted by women of the Venus of Willendorf type, but maybe being a pious Lutheran old batchelor he had never heard of the saying that “not what is pretty, but what you find attractive that matters”. Anyway, in his interpretations the “sons of God” (more correctly “of Elohim”) were higher types of divine truths which were “captured” in some way by purely human, sensual desires represented symbolically by the “daughters of Adam”. He explains elsewhere, that biblical females from Eve onwards symbolise human feeling, emotions and desires – from the loftiest to the lowest, while men are symbols of the rational and logical human mind. In modern phraseology: the dominant left or right brain hemisphere. In this sense we are all androgynes to a lesser or greater degree. According to the undeciphered meaning of Gen.VI:4 the sons of the Elohim and their human females produced a mysterious race of Nephilim, a name which in some versions has been translated as “giants”. The Hebrew word “NPhLIM” has in its roots two possibilities: one is that the Nephilim were space travellers frrom the constellation of Orion (known as The Giant) or that they were The Fallen Ones, the large scale “migration” to our planet of the rebel angels. The root NPhL carries a likely meaning of “excellent and skilful rebels”. Sumerian mysterious race of beings called Annunaki bears some resemblances to Hebrew Anakim, descendants of the progeny of the Fallen Ones. Human memory must still retain traces of those “mighty men that were of old, the men of renown”, which is why people even today erect those giant figures of their famous or infamous leaders. Last word to Swedenborg who claims that the Nephilim were ancient people with gigantic egos who, presumably, regarded themselves oa local deities to be worshipped by mere humans. The more it changes, the more it remains the same.

Good morning or afternoon in my case,
Well it is not really suprising that humanity remembers of fallen angels with no good favour. They are not here for the good of all, only their own ego selves, which is mostly what they are created of.
If the fallen and women could breed their offspring would be unusual, to say the least. I would expect giants and dwarfs and deformities of all kinds, because the fallen, in each of their 12 categories, are only one part of the energy that created humanity in the first place, so that part would be getting a double dose of DNA and spring all sorts of unusual offspring. The human female would have to provide far more that the usual ‘half’ dna that comes in the joining of human men and women.
In this case I don’t think its possible. I stand more with the theory that people from some other world might have bred with the women of earth. I don’t think we are the only beings in God’s universe. It is far too large for that.
Wishing you a good day,
Love & Light
Ama

I am sure that what you say is true,Ama, though the Fallen were experimenting with the creation of human bodies on this planet from the very beginning. I have read somewhere that all the mythical monsters in legends of various nations were the first abortive creations of the fallen angels. But how did the Fallen Ones got their physical bodies? If they had so many mistrials with human bodies, how did they manage to create their own without having at first some monstrous forms? Swedenborg says that Nephilim were giant Egos which created much evil by using all the lowest “lusts” energies of the planet that were called “daughters”. There is still so much we don’t know about our early days on earth. Many thanks for a fascinating light on the dark subject.
