Genesis 3:11-12, Losing Sight of the Divine Source
🌟 The Heart Chakra (Anahata)
📜 Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a spark—a divine invitation to awaken and create. Genesis 3:11-12 reveals a moment of deep spiritual honesty:
“And He said, ‘Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded you that you should not eat?’ And the man said, ‘The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.’”
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. Adam’s words here acknowledge that even the spiritual guide within us—the bridge to divine wisdom—can be swayed by desire and illusion. Eve represents the passive nature of light within, always reaching for more divine understanding. Adam, the active light, seeks mastery of the world. Together, they mirror our own soul’s dance between spiritual yearning and material entanglement.
Every word, every breath in this scripture mirrors our own sacred journey: the balance between the call of the divine and the temptations of the world, the vulnerability of our inner bridge, and the quest for discernment. 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
Genesis 3:11-12
“And He said, ‘Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded you that you should not eat?’ And the man said, ‘The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.’”
🕊️ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the sobering truth that even our spiritual intuition (Eve, the passive light) can be misled by the voice of the flesh (the serpent). Adam’s words—“the woman whom You gave to be with me…”—are not blame but an admission of trust: he listens to Eve, for she is the inner voice of divine guidance.
Yet here, Eve—drawn by her own longing for more—steps outside the divine path. She is the bridge to spiritual truth, but in this moment, her discernment falters. Adam, the active light, acts upon her guidance, reflecting the human journey: our outward actions are always guided by the spiritual voice within.
This story is a living parable of the Heart Chakra: the center of unity, love, and spiritual discernment. It reminds us that love and trust are sacred, but they must be anchored in divine wisdom. When the spiritual bridge (Eve) is clouded by desire, the actions (Adam) lose their alignment.
Ultimately, this is not a story of blame—it is a call to purify the heart, to honor the delicate balance of trust and discernment within, and to remember that even the most aligned parts of ourselves can be swayed if we lose sight of the divine Source.

We weave these spiritual tools into our reflections and rituals because they are gateways to deeper understanding and alignment with the Divine.
🌟 Kabbalah Insights
Kabbalah reveals the hidden spiritual architecture beneath scripture, connecting our inner journey with the Tree of Life.
This passage aligns with the sefirah of Tiferet (Beauty), which balances divine will and human action—mirroring the harmony of Adam and Eve’s roles.
- Descent of light: The balance of masculine and feminine forces, and the soul’s journey to manifest divine potential in the world.
- Interplay of Chokhmah and Binah: Eve, as the passive light (Binah), receives the divine spark; Adam, as the active light (Chokhmah), expresses it. This union is sacred, but must be guarded against illusions of the flesh.

🌟 Why Use Tarot to Help Explain the Bible?
Tarot and the Bible both speak the language of the soul—a symbolic language that transcends time, culture, and religious tradition. When we read the Bible as a mystical or allegorical text, Tarot becomes a powerful companion tool that can help us:
1. Access the Archetypes Hidden in Scripture
The Tarot is built on universal archetypes: The Fool, The Magician, The Lovers, The Tower, etc. These archetypes are spiritual energies and inner states we all encounter on the path of awakening.
The Bible is full of these same patterns:
- Adam is The Fool—innocent, beginning a journey.
- Moses is The Hierophant—teacher and spiritual leader.
- Jesus is both The Hanged Man (sacrifice) and The Sun (illumination).
By using Tarot, we unlock a symbolic key that helps us interpret the characters and events in scripture as reflections of our own inner transformation.
2. Bridge the Subconscious and the Sacred
While the Bible speaks to our higher mind and spiritual understanding, Tarot speaks to the subconscious, the intuitive, and the emotional body. Combining them creates a full-spectrum map of healing—one that engages the conscious, unconscious, and divine self.
Tarot doesn’t “predict” the Bible—it mirrors it, offering:
- Emotional resonance
- Inner meaning
- Spiritual lesson
This helps us embody the teachings rather than just intellectualize them.
3. Support Non-Literal, Mystical Interpretation
If we read the Bible not as historical fact but as a soul journey, Tarot supports that framework. It helps us see:
- The Garden of Eden as a state of inner harmony.
- The serpent as a catalyst for awakening.
- Cain and Abel as personas within the psyche.
Tarot cards echo these same patterns—inviting us to reflect and evolve, not just obey.
4. Guide Personal Revelation
Each Tarot card acts as a spiritual mirror. When placed alongside a biblical passage, it can help a person:
- See what part of the story they’re currently living.
- Recognize emotional blockages or spiritual opportunities.
- Receive direct inner guidance from their higher self.
For example:
- Reading Genesis 4:9 (Cain & Abel) with the Five of Swords and Judgement card helps us feel the moral weight and spiritual call beyond the literal murder.
5. Restore Feminine and Intuitive Wisdom
The Bible, as traditionally interpreted, often silences the feminine, intuitive, and nonlinear aspects of truth. Tarot reintroduces that dimension:
- The High Priestess restores inner knowing and divine mystery.
- The Empress revives the sacred feminine as a nurturing creator.
- The Moon invites emotional depth and healing.
This balances the rational, patriarchal frameworks and helps integrate heart with mind, intuition with logic.
Final Thought:
Using Tarot with the Bible is not about divination. It’s about illumination.
It’s about awakening the layers of divine meaning encoded in scripture so that it becomes a living revelation—one that meets you exactly where you are on your spiritual path.
Tarot offers archetypal mirrors for spiritual lessons. The Lovers card embodies the sacred union of masculine and feminine, while the Devil card warns of illusions and misalignment.
- The Lovers: Sacred trust, unity, and spiritual connection.
- The Devil: The temptation of desire that clouds the soul’s pure guidance.
🌟 A Course in Miracles Reflection
A Course in Miracles invites us to see every word and action as either an expression of love or a call for love.
- Key Lesson: “I can choose peace instead of this.”
- Reflection: Eve’s reaching beyond divine truth was not evil—it was a call for deeper peace and understanding. Let us choose love, forgiveness, and gentle correction over judgment.
