Genesis 1:6-8: Day Two – Opening of Our Inner Vision
đ The Third Eye Chakra
đ Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a sparkâa divine invitation to awaken and perceive beyond the physical. Genesis 1:6-8 speaks of the firmament: a division of the waters, the emergence of a clear expanse that separates the above from the below. This passage is not merely about the sky aboveâit is about the opening of our inner vision, the birth of our higher perception, and the call to see beyond the illusions of the material world.
Every word, every breath in this scripture mirrors our own sacred journey: the emergence of divine order from the waters of the unconscious, the unveiling of the inner sight that bridges the seen and the unseen, and the remembrance that we are always guided by a higher wisdom.
May this reflection guide you back to the Source of your being, as you awaken the light within and walk the eternal path of Adamâs transformation.
đ Scripture Passage
Genesis 1:6-8
âAnd God said, âLet there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.â And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.â
đď¸ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the emergence of divine order within the chaos of creationâan alignment that clarifies purpose and intention. The waters represent the boundless, unformed potential of existenceâan ocean of dreams, emotions, and spiritual possibilities. From this infinite sea, the firmament arises as a bridge of perceptionâan opening that allows you to see with the eyes of the soul.
Metaphysically, this firmament is the sacred center of your third eye, the seat of intuition and spiritual clarity. The waters above are the higher truths of divine wisdom; the waters below are the realm of earthly experience. The firmament is your inner eyeâyour third eye chakraâwhere these two worlds meet and merge.
Just as the firmament created a new Heaven, your inner sight brings order to confusion. It is the channel through which divine visions flowâpiercing the illusions of the material and revealing the luminous truth of your soul.
This sacred moment is not about physical sight, but about spiritual seeingâtrusting the visions that arise within and allowing divine light to illuminate the path before you.
đ Kabbalah Insights
Kabbalah Insights help reveal the hidden spiritual architecture beneath scripture, connecting our inner journey with the Tree of Life and the divine sephiroth.
This passage aligns with the sefirah of Daâat (Knowledge), the mystical gateway that unites wisdom and understanding in the seat of divine vision.
Descent of Light: The firmament emerges as a channel of perception, allowing divine wisdom to flow into human awareness.
Interplay of Chokhmah and Binah: The masculine force (Chokhmah, divine will) and the feminine force (Binah, divine understanding) unite to create the firmamentâa bridge of intuitive insight.
As you meditate on this passage, remember that your inner sight is a bridge to the divineâa window into the infinite wisdom that guides your soulâs journey.
đ Tarot Guidance
đ Why Use Tarot to Help Explain the Bible?
Tarot and the Bible both speak the language of the soulâa 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 Foolâinnocent, beginning a journey.
- Moses is The Hierophantâteacher 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 healingâone that engages the conscious, unconscious, and divine self.
Tarot doesnât “predict” the Bibleâit 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 patternsâinviting 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 theyâre 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. Itâs about illumination.
Itâs about awakening the layers of divine meaning encoded in scripture so that it becomes a living revelationâone that meets you exactly where you are on your spiritual path.
Tarot guidance offers archetypal mirrors that help us access subconscious patterns and spiritual lessons. The Empress, in particular, embodies nurturing expression that resonates with the throat chakraâs unfolding.
The High Priestess â The guardian of sacred mysteries, divine vision, and the hidden realms of spirit.
The Ace of Swords â A sudden flash of spiritual clarity and piercing insight that slices through illusions.
đ A Course in Miracles Reflection
A Course in Miracles invites us to shift from fear to love, seeing every word and action as an expression of divine blessing and service.
Key Lesson: âI will be still an instant and go home.â
Reflection: True sight comes from stillness. In the quiet center of your being, beyond the turbulence of the mind, your third eye opens. It is here, in the stillness of divine order, that illusions dissolve and you remember who you truly are. In this holy vision, you see with the eyes of the soulâbridging Heaven and Earth, reuniting the waters above and below.

This reflection on Genesis 1:6-8 truly resonated with me. The interpretation of the firmament as the awakening of our inner vision offers a profound perspective on the creation narrative. The connection to the third eye chakra and the concept of divine order emerging from chaos is both enlightening and inspiring.
I’m curiousâhow can we actively nurture this inner vision in our daily lives? Are there specific practices or rituals you recommend to help open and maintain this spiritual clarity? Thank you for sharing such deep insights that bridge scripture with personal spiritual growth.
Thank you so much for sharing your reflectionâit truly warms my heart to hear how this interpretation of Genesis 1:6â8 resonated with you! The connection between the firmament and the awakening of the third eye chakra is indeed a powerful metaphor for the emergence of clarity and divine order from within.
To help nurture this inner vision, Iâve created a series of rituals woven throughout my posts. These rituals are designed to support readers in diving deeper into the text so that it comes alive for them in a personal, embodied way. They include guided visualizations, energy healing exercises like EFT tapping, affirmations, and simple yet potent daily practices to help keep your spiritual clarity vibrant and evolving.
If youâd like, I can share some of these practices with you directly. Theyâre a beautiful way to maintain that openness and light within, and theyâre designed to harmonize mind, body, and spirit as you journey deeper into these sacred texts. Let me know if youâd like more detailsâIâd be honored to guide you further!
This piece beautifully explores the awakening of inner vision as more than just a conceptâit feels like a spiritual invitation. I love how it ties self-reflection, meditation, and energy alignment into a path for deeper clarity and purpose. It made me reflect on how much we overlook our inner guidance in daily life. Have you noticed a shift in your intuition or awareness since starting this kind of inner work?
Absolutelyâthank you for such a thoughtful and heartfelt response. Iâm deeply moved that this reflection spoke to you as a spiritual invitation, because thatâs exactly what Day Two is: a calling to return to the waters within, to the space between thought and form where divine clarity arises.
And yes, since engaging more consistently in this kind of inner workâespecially through meditation, energy alignment, and scripture as a mirrorâIâve definitely noticed a shift. My intuition speaks more clearly now, often through subtle impressions or quiet knowing. The more I honor those moments, the more they expand. It feels like Iâm no longer âsearchingâ for purpose outside myself, but instead learning to remember it within.
Itâs humbling to realize how often we overlook that inner guidance in the rush of daily life. But as you said so beautifully, this work gently redirects our attention inwardâwhere vision is not just seen, but felt.
Have you experienced a particular moment lately where your inner guidance surprised you or led you in an unexpected, yet meaningful direction? I’d love to hear how your own vision has been opening.
Reading this felt like sipping a warm tea for the soul – that slow, unfolding realization of how often we navigate the world with our inner eyes half-closed. The idea of ‘unseeing to truly see’ resonates deeply.
It reminds me of those fleeting moments when we catch glimpses beyond the surface – maybe during a quiet walk when the light hits the trees just right, or in that hazy space between sleep and waking where thoughts feel less rigid. But then the mental chatter returns, and the aperture narrows again.
What fascinates me is how this inner vision seems to operate on paradox: the harder we ‘try’ to access it, the more it eludes us. There’s something profoundly counterintuitive about developing clarity through surrender rather than effort.
I’ve noticed children often have this quality naturally – that unfiltered way of engaging with the world before we teach them to categorize everything. Makes me wonder how much of spiritual development is actually remembering rather than acquiring…
Absolutely beautiful reflection. Thank you, Investor, for sharing such a rich responseâit truly is like sipping soul-tea together.
That phrase, âunseeing to truly see,â holds such quiet power. You captured the paradox perfectlyâhow clarity comes not from straining to see, but from softening into presence. Like you said, itâs in those liminal spacesâbetween sleep and waking, in the hush of a forest pathâwhere the veil thins and the inner vision stirs awake. Not with force, but with surrender.
And yes, the childlike gaze⌠pure, unburdened, full of awe. I often feel that spiritual growth is less about striving upward and more about peeling backâlayer by layerâwhat the world placed over our eyes. Itâs a return to wholeness. A remembering, exactly as you said.
Thank you for walking through this passage with such openness. You are seen and appreciated.
With warmth and clarity,
âAlchemist Iris
