Genesis 6:2 Meaning God’s Sons Saw That Men’s Daughters Were

The higher spiritual thoughts, the sons of God, drop their gaze onto the lower emotions and appetites, the daughters of men, and are captured by their surface beauty. When the mind that belongs above binds itself to what the flesh finds pleasing, it descends and mingles with the sense life instead of ruling it. The offspring of that mixing are the mongrel powers within, part light and part clay, that make a person heavy and pull awareness down into the body. This is how the divine spark loses altitude, by choosing the fair thing seen with the eyes over the still knowing within.

Sons of God: the higher spiritual thoughts and ideals that belong to the mind above Daughters of men: the lower emotions, appetites, and sense pleasures of the flesh

When higher, spiritual powers reach down for what is human and beautiful, the spirit is refusing to stay above, pure and untouched. It leans toward the body, toward desire, toward the life it lacks. What looks like heavenly beings taking wives is really the loftiest part of a person turning toward its opposite.

A man who lives only for high ideals often finds himself seized by a plain longing he cannot explain. The high, spiritual side reaches down to the earthly, bodily side and joins it, because a person becomes whole only when the two meet.
