So completely absorbed in his Divine Selfhood was Enoch, that the ritual of the ascension took place on one of those walks with God. So it can take place with each one who builds the momentum of the sacred fire with each footstep, each heartbeat. For with each inbreathing of the sacred fire from the throne of God, one can draw a little nearer to the goal of oneness with him. | So completely absorbed in his Divine Selfhood was Enoch, that the ritual of the ascension took place on one of those walks with God.

== Enoch and the fallen angels == | |||
There are a number of writings that have been attributed to Enoch. The most well-known of these is the [[Book of Enoch]], whose main theme is the final judgment of a certain band of [[fallen angel]]s, whom Enoch called the “Watchers” and their progeny. In one early chapter of the book, Enoch was himself sent to the Watchers to convey God’s message that they shall have neither peace nor forgiveness on account of their sins against him. The Watchers, terrified and trembling, asked Enoch to petition God on their behalf, which Enoch did. Nevertheless, God’s judgment remained against the Watchers, “Nevermore shall you ascend into heaven.” Enoch set forth this book for our wisdom, our admonishment and our warning. | There are a number of writings that have been attributed to Enoch.
