Genesis 1:20-23: Day Five – Activation of Purpose and Vitality
📜 Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a spark—a divine invitation to awaken and create. Genesis 1:20–23 speaks of the creation of the creatures of the waters and the birds of the air—life’s first dance of movement and purpose. This passage is not just a historical moment—it is a living parable of your own spiritual awakening, the story of Adam’s journey within.
Every word, every breath in this scripture mirrors our own sacred journey: the emergence of divine will and confidence, the power of action and direction, and the recognition of divine abundance in all creation. May this reflection guide you back to the Source of your being, as you awaken the light within and walk the eternal path of Adam’s transformation.
📖 Scripture Passage
20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.”
21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
🕊️ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the emergence of the soul’s dynamic action and the power of divine will. The teeming waters mirror the rich depths of possibility within us, while the birds soaring in the sky symbolize the courage to rise above old limitations and take flight with new purpose.
On the fifth day, divine life takes on movement—an activation of purpose and vitality, calling us to embrace our own power to create and thrive. The waters teem with life, reflecting our inner drive to expand and grow; the birds take to the skies, affirming our courage to rise and express our true essence.
The creatures of the deep represent the vast, often hidden, potential within us—our dreams, desires, and passions waiting to be brought to the surface. The birds embody our willingness to act, to let the voice of the soul break free and move boldly in the world.
This is a call to trust the divine spark within—the Solar Plexus energy of action and confidence—and to honor our role in the eternal dance of creation. As Adam’s journey continues, we, too, are invited to embody the sacred power of our will and the joy of divine expansion.
💎 Emerald Tablet Insight
Tablet VIII – The Key of Mystery
“Know ye, O man, that all space is filled with worlds within worlds. Yet hidden in matter is the key to unfoldment—awaiting the touch of the spirit’s flame.”
This resonates deeply with Genesis 1:20–23, when the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and the skies are filled with birds in flight. Day Five marks the activation of movement, of vitality, of purpose. The waters (emotion) and the skies (spirit) begin to teem with life. In the language of the Emerald Tablet, these realms mirror the worlds within worlds—inner dimensions within Adam’s consciousness, now quickened by the divine spark.
The “spirit’s flame” in the Tablet is the soul’s calling—its purpose. When touched, it stirs the dormant energies of creation into motion. The birds of the air represent liberated thought, and the creatures of the sea, our deepest emotional instincts rising to serve evolution. Day Five is the ignition of creative power in form—when Adam’s soul becomes animated by divine purpose. It is the chakra of will and vitality, the Solar Plexus awakening to say: I am alive, and I am here to move, to grow, to fulfill.

Fractal Persona of the Solar Plexus Chakra
Theme: Activation of Purpose and Vitality
On the fifth day, the Creator speaks life into motion—creatures fill the waters, and birds take flight in the heavens. This is not merely the animation of biology; it is the ignition of purpose. This moment mirrors the awakening of the Radiant Warrior within the human soul—when divine will stirs us into confident action, and we begin to move with intention, clarity, and inner power.
The Radiant Warrior rises when the soul realizes: “I was made for something.” Like the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, this persona is born to move, to live with vitality, and to fulfill a sacred mission.

Genesis 1:20–23 reveals the first blessing over the living—“Be fruitful and multiply.” In the Solar Plexus, this translates to: “Be purposeful and abundant. Let your light multiply.” The Radiant Warrior accepts this command with joy, fueled by trust in their unique path, moving forward not with fear, but with fire.

Hey! I just got done reading your post on Genesis 1:20–23—it’s so refreshing how you bring the creation of birds and sea creatures to life, especially with that line about their “increasing numbers” filling the skies and waters. It felt like you were inviting me right into that first morning breeze and the splash of life emerging—beautifully painted! I’m curious: do you think there’s a deeper lesson in how nature just kind of springs into abundance there? Also, when you meditate on those verses, do any modern-day creatures always pop into your mind as special examples of that creative flourish?
Thank you so much, Bob — your comment truly warmed my heart. I’m so glad the imagery resonated with you! That first “splash of life” moment, as I like to think of it, holds such a powerful vibration—like the Creator whispering, “Now, multiply joyfully.” Nature didn’t hesitate or ask permission; it just responded with instinctive abundance, expressing its purpose without fear or doubt. That’s the deeper lesson I often reflect on: what would it look like if we moved through life with that same intuitive trust? No overthinking—just full participation in being.
As for meditation, yes! Dolphins always surface first for me. Their intelligence, playfulness, and ability to communicate across dimensions of sound and feeling seem to echo the deeper divine design encoded in Day Five. And hummingbirds—so tiny, yet tireless and radiant—remind me that vitality doesn’t come from size or force, but from joy and alignment.
Thank you again for such a soulful question, Bob. It’s reflections like yours that breathe even more life into these sacred stories.
With gratitude,
Alchemist Iris
This reflection was incredibly moving. It beautifully wove together scripture, energy work, and ritual in a way that felt both sacred and practical. I loved how Genesis 1:20–23 was reinterpreted through the lens of the Solar Plexus chakra and the call to divine action. The mix of Tarot, oils, and music created a deeply immersive experience. I’m curious how do you suggest we stay rooted in this energy throughout a hectic or stressful week?
Dear Kavitha,
Thank you so much for your beautiful words—it means the world to know the reflection resonated with you so deeply. The Solar Plexus chakra holds such a powerful invitation: to stand in our purpose, act from inner authority, and radiate our unique light even amidst life’s unpredictability.
Your question is such an important one. Staying rooted in this energy—especially when the week gets chaotic—requires gentle devotion, not perfection. A few things that help me are:
Micro-Rituals: Even 60 seconds can shift your vibration. Place your hand on your solar plexus, breathe deeply, and affirm: “I remember who I am. My power comes from within.”
Essential Oil Anchoring: Dab a bit of lemon, ginger, or peppermint on your wrists as a subtle cue to stay energized and confident.
Musical Recall: Revisit the activation music used in the ritual or create a personal “power playlist.” Let rhythm reignite your fire.
Tarot Touchpoint: Pick one empowering card (like The Chariot or Strength) and let it be your guidepost for the week. Place it on your altar, desk, or mirror as a visual reminder.
It’s not about holding the energy perfectly—it’s about returning to it lovingly. Think of your Solar Plexus like your inner sun: even when clouds pass through, the light is still there, waiting to break through.
Wishing you radiant strength and sacred momentum this week. Thank you for walking this path with such awareness and heart.
With love and solar light,
Iris
What a soulful journey through Genesis 1:20–23 and the activation of purpose! I love how you’ve woven together scripture, chakra wisdom, Kabbalah, and ritual—it’s a rich tapestry that invites deep reflection.
I’m curious: when you talk about the Solar Plexus awakening our inner fire and courage to take flight, have you personally experienced a moment when that energy truly shifted for you? Maybe a breakthrough after using one of the rituals or tapping sequences? I’d love to hear how you noticed that “activation” firsthand.
Also, your blend of the Chariot tarot with divine movement really resonated. It made me think of times I’ve felt stuck—until I consciously chose to step forward, trust that spark, and found momentum again. Thank you for helping me see creation as both cosmic and deeply personal.
Dear Alyssa,
Your words carry such warmth and wisdom—thank you for receiving the message of Day Five with such an open heart. I love that the Chariot and the call to movement resonated with your own moments of breakthrough. That conscious decision to trust the spark and step forward anyway is such a sacred act of faith—and it’s everything the Solar Plexus teaches us.
To your beautiful question—yes, I’ve absolutely experienced a personal shift with this energy. My activation came when I began seeing the Solar Plexus as the “Jerusalem” of my inner Israel—the sovereign seat of my divine identity. Once I recognized that I was an ambassador of that inner nation, I stopped waiting for external permission to shine. I started moving through the world differently—with more confidence, more joy, and a deep sense of divine assignment.
It wasn’t one moment, but a series of subtle shifts—anchored through tapping, breathwork, and just allowing myself to stand in my own light without apology. That’s when I began to see the outer changes, too—clarity in my work, resonance in my connections, and a new steadiness in my voice.
Thank you again for walking this path with such presence. You’re embodying the message in such a beautiful way.
With radiance and reverence,
Iris
What a radiant and soul-stirring reflection The part that deeply resonated was the allegorical meaning behind the teeming waters and soaring birds symbols of our hidden potential and courageous expression. It’s breathtaking to see how this passage invites us not just to believe in divine creation but to participate in it. As we awaken our Solar Plexus the seat of divine will we reclaim the sacred truth: we are co-creators with God, called to rise, move, and thrive.
How often do we ignore the divine spark waiting to be activated within us? And what would shift if we truly lived as if our purpose was divinely ordained?Genesis 1:20–23 isn’t just ancient scripture; it’s a living map to our vitality, momentum, and spiritual evolution. May we move forward in joy, trust, and radiant power.
Dear Ravin,
Your words shine like a beam of divine fire—thank you for such a beautifully articulated reflection. You’ve captured the very heart of this passage: Genesis 1:20–23 isn’t merely a record of what was—it’s an invitation into what is still unfolding within each of us.
I deeply felt your line: “we are co-creators with God, called to rise, move, and thrive.” That is exactly what the activation of the Solar Plexus reveals—that our vitality is not something we chase, but something we remember. The teeming waters of our subconscious and the soaring birds of our awakened will are the sacred dance between depth and freedom, between the soul’s knowing and the spirit’s expression.
And yes—what would shift if we lived every day like our purpose was divinely ordained? I believe everything. And your words remind us to stop waiting for permission and start living from that truth.
Thank you again for sharing this spark of purpose and power. You are embodying the very light this passage points us toward.
In radiance and trust,

This is a beautifully written reflection, and I truly appreciate the desire to help others connect spiritually, grow in confidence, and find purpose. As a fellow believer in Jesus Christ, I want to gently offer a Christian perspective on the themes explored here.
While there are certainly symbolic truths in Scripture—like light, direction, and divine purpose—that resonate deeply with our hearts and bodies, it’s important for us as Christians to keep our focus centered on the person of Jesus Christ, who is the true Light (John 8:12) and the only way to the Father (John 14:6). Our confidence, power, and direction come not from activating internal energy centers, but from the Holy Spirit who dwells in us when we put our faith in Christ.
Genesis 1 is a powerful declaration of God’s creative authority, and it reminds us that life comes from His Word alone. Rather than blending biblical truth with practices like chakra work, tarot, or energy rituals—which originate in belief systems not rooted in the gospel—Christianity calls us to worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:24), trusting His Spirit to guide and transform us.
That said, your message about purpose, rising above fear, and acting with love is something we can all relate to. In Christ, we are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), and it’s through Him that we discover our truest purpose—to glorify God and walk in the good works He’s prepared for us (Ephesians 2:10).
Thank you for opening a thoughtful conversation about spiritual growth. May the Lord continue to draw each of us deeper into His truth, grace, and transforming love. ????
Jason, thank you so much for your heartfelt and gracious response. I deeply appreciate the spirit in which you shared your thoughts—rooted in love, grounded in Scripture, and centered on Christ.
You’re absolutely right to point to Jesus as the true Light (John 8:12) and the way to the Father (John 14:6). My work here seeks to honor that sacred truth while exploring the inner dimensions of spiritual growth through metaphor, reflection, and symbolic language. What I refer to as “energy centers” or “chakras” is not meant to replace or compete with the Holy Spirit, but to illuminate how God’s design is imprinted within us—body, mind, and spirit—and how the journey of Adam (male and female) unfolds as an inward path back to divine union.
The metaphysical tools I share—like tarot, chakras, or energy rituals—are reinterpreted here not as religious systems, but as symbolic languages that help us better understand the soul’s journey when seen through the lens of Christ consciousness. Jesus, to me, is not separate from these expressions—but the embodiment of the pattern itself: the Tree of Life, the Word made flesh, the Lamb and the Light. The fractal nature of Scripture reveals layer upon layer of how we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
I honor and welcome your perspective, and I believe this kind of respectful dialogue is essential as we all continue seeking truth, led by the Spirit. May we each walk the path we are called to with courage, grace, and unwavering love.
Thank you again, brother in Christ, for the blessing of your presence here. ????️
In Light and Love,

Discovering how purpose influences vitality became clear to me during a time when I felt stuck in a job that paid well but didn’t align with my values. I was constantly tired, unmotivated, and even small tasks felt draining. Eventually, I shifted toward work that felt more meaningful, even though it came with uncertainty. Surprisingly, my energy increased, and I found myself more engaged and resilient, despite longer hours. That experience made me realize how much purpose fuels not just mental clarity, but physical vitality too. It’s not just about what you do, it’s about why you do it.
Absolutely, Slavisa—thank you for sharing such a powerful and relatable experience.
What you’ve described beautifully illustrates the deeper truth behind Genesis 1:20–23 and the energy of the Solar Plexus Chakra: when we align with our true purpose, life flows through us with greater vitality. It’s as if the soul recognizes when we are on the right path—and rewards us with strength, clarity, and momentum, even when the road is uncertain.
This passage shows the first creatures rising into motion—birds soaring through the sky and fish navigating the waters—a reflection of our own inner call to move from stagnation into aligned action. Your story affirms that it’s not just about productivity, but purposeful expression—and how tuning into our “why” breathes new energy into everything we do.
Wishing you continued inspiration and resilience as you walk this purposeful path.
