I don't think Aaron meant it like that. If we see John 1 as a parallel to Genesis 1 then it appears that the "word becoming flesh" is an allusion to God's creative force. God uses words to manifest His will and create things, actively, and ongoing:
Hebrews 1:3 KJV
3Who being the brightness of
his glory, and the express image of his person, and
upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
What most people often don't realize is that God never stops speaking. Throughout the Old Testament we see that God periodically decides to reveal prophecies to people using words. All of the prophecies did not accidentally come to fruition by sheer statistical likelihood due to being placed on a long enough timeline: "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
But rather at the exact time in God's plans, He speaks into reality what He wants to happen.
So when we refer to ourselves as "the Word become flesh" it is not to say that we are Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Son of God, incarnate, but rather that our spirit is reborn by the will of God (God spoke our new spirit into existence with His words):
John 1:12-13 KJV
12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even to them that believe on his name:
13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
That's just how I understood it.
