Genesis 3:1-5, The Start of Confusion in Duality
🌟 Chakra / Energy Center Focus: The Sacral Chakra
📜 Introduction
Genesis 3:1-5 reveals an essential moment in the spiritual journey of Adam (mankind) and Eve (the spiritual life giver and manifestor of persona). In this passage, the serpent represents low vibrational desires, which tempt Adam. Adam transmits these desires to Eve, leading her to provide the fruit—a persona—that Adam believes will fulfill his desires.
Eve’s act is not an act of uncaring but rather an act of unconditional love for Adam. As his helpmeet, she offers him the persona (the fruit) that he desires, knowing that it will help him in his spiritual journey, even though this persona leads them both away from higher alignment. Eve’s unconditional love compels her to act. Adam’s desires will lead to unfortunate consequences that unfold as part of Adam’s growth.
📖 Scripture Passage
Genesis 3:1-5
“Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, ‘Has God indeed said, “You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”’ And the woman said to the serpent, ‘We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, “You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.”’ Then the serpent said to the woman, ‘You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’”
🕊️ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
In this passage, Eve’s actions are rooted in unconditional love for Adam. The fruit symbolizes a persona—a mask that Adam must wear to experience and learn from his desires. Eve, aligned with her role as Adam’s spiritual helpmeet, provides this persona to help him evolve spiritually. Her love is pure, unconditional, and non-controlling. The fruit is the persona she gives Adam to help him learn, but because it is not aligned with higher spiritual truth, it leads to separation from the Tree of Life—the alignment that connects them to divine unity. Now duality sets in.
Eve’s love is the same love as The Divine Mother and The Divine Father, and her role is not to dictate Adam’s journey but to support it, giving him what he asks for even though it may be misaligned with higher alignment.
Matthew 5:45 (NIV):
“He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”
The lower serpent’s role is to represent the ego-driven desires that Adam experiences. It is Eve’s deep understanding of wisdom and her deep devotion to Adam and the spiritual journey that compels her to act in this way. The snake’s vibrational wave offers the egoic temptation to Adam, creating the environment for duality to arise.
The Snake: One of the Waves in the Flower of Life
The snake represents a vibrational wave that flows through Eve’s Flower of Life, one of the forces that shapes the fractal personas Adam must encounter. While often seen as a symbol of temptation, the snake’s wave is not inherently evil; rather, it serves as a necessary force in the creation of experiences that lead to spiritual learning and growth. The snake represents low-vibrational desires—the ego’s whispers—that pull Adam away from divine wisdom.
In the context of the Flower of Life, these waves of desire—whether high or low—help to shape the distinct fractal personas that Adam must encounter on his journey. The snake’s role is to manifest desires that lead to separation, egoic experiences, and ultimately growth.
Without the snake’s wave, Adam would not encounter the dualities necessary for his soul’s journey. The snake is part of the cosmic dance, facilitating the manifestations of both light and shadow, teaching Adam to discern the path that aligns with divine truth.
💎 Emerald Tablet Insight
From Tablet VII – The Seven Lords
“Far in the past, time lost in the space-time, the Children of Light looked down on the world. Seeing the children of men in their bondage, bound by the force that came from beyond. Knew they that only by freedom from bondage could man ever rise from the earth to the Sun.”
This passage mirrors the energetic shift in Genesis 3:1–5, when the voice of the serpent enters—not as an external creature, but as the subtle frequency of distorted desire, bending the inner truth. The soul, once whole, begins to question, doubt, and fragment. The “bondage” mentioned in the Tablets is this exact state: confusion born of separation, as divine will becomes filtered through shadowed perception. The Tree of Knowledge becomes appealing not as an act of rebellion, but as a grasp for clarity in an increasingly unclear vibration. Yet this grasp tightens the illusion. This is the beginning of duality—good versus evil, light versus dark—where once there was only divine harmony. The Children of Light still call us back, but now through remembrance, not command.
🌟 Tarot as Sacred Symbol: Why I Use Archetypes to Read Scripture
In my work, I use Tarot not as a tool of prediction, but as a language of the inner world. In this passage, The Lovers represents the choice between spiritual wisdom and egoic desires. The Empress symbolizes the nurturing feminine energy that supports and nourishes but must also be aligned with spiritual wisdom to guide others. The Devil represents the temptation of the ego, pulling us toward illusion and separation from higher wisdom.
The Lovers represents the choice between spiritual wisdom and egoic desires. The Empress symbolizes the nurturing energy of the feminine, and The Devil represents the temptation of the ego that keeps us trapped in duality.

🌟 A Course in Miracles Reflection
Lesson 138: “Heaven is the decision I must make.”
A Course in Miracles teaches us that the spiritual path is about transcending the ego and aligning with divine wisdom. Genesis 3:1-5 shows how Adam’s desires, influenced by the serpent, lead to Eve’s decision to act out of unconditional love, but not aligned with higher alignment. The lesson here is that unconditional love must always be guided by divine wisdom to lead to spiritual growth and ascension.
Key Lesson: Unconditional love must be balanced with spiritual wisdom to avoid the temptation of the ego.
Reflection: By aligning love with spiritual wisdom, we can truly serve both ourselves and others in alignment with the divine plan.
