Let us distinguish between an esoteric downfall and a descent. Evidently, these rebel angels did not descend, they fell, and this is the difference.
A relatively long time ago, while being in profound meditation, I was a witness to something unusual.
Indeed, I saw with mystical astonishment two adepts who, after having achieved a complete identification with Paranirvana, attained the final liberation.
These brethren, attired with their tunics of white linen and their heads covering with a mantle of immaculate whiteness that reached until their feet, entered within the Abstract Absolute Space.
Frankly, since I still have not lost my capacity for astonishment, I felt myself amazed, bewildered. Thus, with wonderment, I accompanied them until the Ring Pass Not (the gate of the universe)...
I saw them penetrate into the Uncreated Light of the Absolute filled with infinite humbleness and veneration.
They passed far beyond the Gods and humans. They became Paramarthasatyas. Nevertheless, they submerged themselves within “That” as simple apprentices...
This is because successive mystical exaltations also exist within the Absolute, which are far beyond any comprehension for us. - Cosmic Teachings of a Lama

For thirty years I sought God. But when I looked carefully I found that in reality God was the seeker and I the sought. -Bayazid al-Bastami
