notes from the book of Enoch

Listened to it while I did my laundry (which I do by hand daily so it takes a little while) and wasn't totally focused, but here is what did catch my attention:

Entities called "Watchers" were involved in fall of mankind as well as their own. I assume they are different than the notable "Satan" because he was still allowed in heaven at the time of Job (may have provoked and manipulated others to actions, but never did an 'illegal' act himself and so was not immediately kicked out of heaven.....knew what he was doing that one). The Watchers, however were not. Man is given power to reprimand the Watchers but not to petition on their behalf. Man's spirits roam the heavens if righteous and that is why they have access to what the Watchers do not.
Reinforces and expands my understanding of mankind being somehow seperated from their spirits or not having one of their own to begin with. Very clear in the book of Enoch that while a man's soul rests in Sheol, his spirit can continue on in heaven. But spirits that sin are slain. Their soul will be ressurrected and judged in last day, but their spirit has already been killed. I experienced as a "quickening", the birth of a new spirit in me and what I just experienced this past fall as being reunited with an old spirit of mine (or one that was familiar to me?), the one that would have travelled throughout space and time bringing back to me experiences of exhisting in other lives, other universes. Our minds may not be able to travel, and it is not neccessarily reincarnation, but rather where our spirits go and what they do while not attached to us. Scripture speaks of spirits coming and going out of "houses", these houses would be the human bodies/souls our spirits enter and occupy and experience as their own even while we are sleeping. Will that old spirit be slain?Will it be trapped in a different body? Was it reborn within me, reattached/reconnected to me, or " a new spirit" spoken of in the new testament that literal. I do not know. Questions to be answered another day, I suppose. I only know for certain I experienced a "quickening", which I wondered was exactly until years later when I started reading the bible again and in the king james version saw many had prayed to be quickened. (stirred to life everlasting/given a spirit of their own?).

In the book of Enoch, we have it explained to us just what is happening in reference to knowledge, the sin the Watchers committed. God kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden so they could not access the tree of knowledge. The Watchers undermined Him by bringing that knowledge to fallen mankind anyways. That knowledge included information about the stars and planets, the powers behind/within them. The knowledge of plants and medicines was included to prolong lives God had intended to end more quickly. The knowledge included spiritual tricks; sorcery which used inappropriately is control and manipulation of eachother, seduction and enchantment as well as magic, the manipulating of the elements from their ordained order....basically making a mess of things, times, seasons, crops, etc. for everybody.

Which leads to the question: do we thus strive to keep ourselves ignorant and fear knowledge? The answer is no, we do not need to dumb ourselves down. Without the knowledge of how to read or use technology, I would not have been exposed to the book of Enoch, would I? It is a matter of not letting it corrupt us, knowledge is unavoidable, really. But only the most basic knowledge that God exists and will have an accounting is enough. Instead of using the knowledge we may receive due to such things as legal requirements, we can instead turn to the inner guidence of God speaking from within us. Put the diploma on the wall then defy it. You'll be smarter and more successful with simplicity.

Also, the specific name of the Watcher who misled Eve as well as the specific names and multiple sins of each of the Watchers, heads over the tens, etc.

It explains the two different judgements, that of man which is death and that of the watchers which is eternal suffering. This reinforces the understanding I was given that God's messeges come through man to mock the "sons" who mock Him and not every messege or prophesy is in reference to humanity. It definately clarifies the confusion with what I saw was two different eventualities...yay! Father, I thank you!

Woa to those who drink from every fountain for you forsake the fountain of life: woa! I was definately guilty of that for a while, Christendom frustrated me with it's lack of clarity, I gave up and vowed to find out the truth of everything claimed. But, I guess that fall was in the right direction until I reached the point where I stated within myself "I definately do not want to be where no human being has business going".....guess even there it was given me to make the right decision. But it does kinda freak me out, while explaining a few things about the distancing of entities from me when it became apparent I was being set aside for a special purpose......these entities were dispensing knowledge humans had no business knowing because it would only be misused by us in our naive interfering with the natural order of things, harming us in the end. scary. So, seek knowledge from God directly, do not seek out another person or entity's explaination, stop playing with astral projection and taking universal, entity guided, meditational"fieldtrips" people. I was given the right gut feeling on that one...yay! He does save me! Keep our explainations to ourselves and only extend the knowledge and understanding He gives us. woohoo! Just the facts, people! That actually lightens the burden alot! Emphasizes Yahushua's command to call no one, including him, Rabbi/Teacher.

The foreknowledge that we could expect a righteous generation to be born on earth is interesting. Is it this generation, born since 1970 being misled as indigo, vampire, magical children it refers to? I think. Everyone is claiming knowledge and understanding of our qualities and just what knowledge we need to be safe, healthy, make the most of them......stearing us in every direction to do evil in the eyes of God. "in the last days all your sons and daughters will prophesy" it was foretold. That is what we were meant to do with all these extra senses, not to interfere with natural processes or change the nature of mankind or anything, and definately not to be drinking the blood of people or animals. sheesh. And definately not to bring new technology....that is another point in the book of Enoch: the sins of the watchers included writing and technologies mankind was never intended to have/need..... groups like the Amish might have it more right than we think! They don't see things like technology as inherently evil, but abstain from it to prevent themselves from getting puffed up: "I am man, look what I can make!"

I learned women didn't start covering heads because men commanded them to in order to oppress them. Women began covering their heads so their hair would not draw unwanted attention from the fallen ones who lusted after beautiful women. shoot, they'd impregnate them with babies that would kill them during delivery. How's that for lovin'? I'd be hiding myself, too. evil, selfish B*st*rds.

I knew drinking of blood is mentioned a few times in the bible and before any other law was given, but wow! How it is emphasized as evil in the book of Enoch! Pour that  stuff on the ground! Always!

So, that is what stuck out for me upon my first listening, will have more coming no doubt as I continue to explore it and the other forbidden books not kept in the bible!
