Genesis 3:6-7, Shame and Separation
🌟 The Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
📜 Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a spark—a divine invitation to awaken and create. Genesis 3:6–7 speaks of the soul’s choice to seek knowledge of matter, mistaking it for the wisdom of spirit. This passage is not just a historical moment—it is a living parable of our spiritual awakening and the story of Adam’s journey within.
Every word, every breath in this scripture mirrors our own sacred journey: the emergence of curiosity, the confusion of physical perception, and the call to remember our divine essence beyond form.
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 3:6–7 (NIV)
6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for gaining wisdom, she took of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
🕊️ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the soul’s descent into the realm of duality, prompted by desire—a sacred force misdirected. Eve, the spirit or intuitive self, did not act from rebellion, but from an inner longing for wisdom, evolution, and expansion. She saw the fruit was “desirable for gaining wisdom”—but her discernment had shifted. Her intention, though seemingly noble, had tuned her into a lower vibrational frequency—the frequency of judgment, separation, and egoic striving.
This is the nature of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil: it is a portal to mental polarity, not spiritual unity. It promises knowledge, but the kind that divides, categorizes, and separates. To eat from it is not just to disobey—it is to initiate the soul into a denser form of consciousness. Eating is always a spiritual act of union, a merging of energies. By consuming the fruit, Eve internalized the pattern of fragmentation.
She then passed the fruit to Adam—the soul—inviting him into the same lower initiation. Both accepted this energy. Their “eyes were opened,” but not in illumination—in disorientation. Their first realization was not divine truth, but nakedness: the raw vulnerability of having fallen from grace, the shock of perceiving the body as separate from spirit.
The instinct to cover themselves with fig leaves reveals the soul’s confusion. Having lost the awareness of oneness, they now saw their physical form as something exposed, inadequate, or shameful. This marks the beginning of spiritual hiding—when we forget our divine nature and attempt to protect or perfect ourselves with outward coverings.
And yet, even in this act, a hidden truth glimmers: the fig leaf, in ancient spiritual symbolism, was associated with fertility, divine blessing, and sacred space. Though their use of it came from fear, the symbol itself carries a remembrance: that the body, even in exile, can be re-consecrated. What was first used to conceal can become a vessel for healing.
This passage reminds us that:
- Desire is not the enemy—but desire without divine alignment leads us astray.
- Initiation without discernment opens lower portals.
- Shame is the signal that the soul has forgotten its source.
- And even in exile, the symbols of Eden remain, whispering the way home.
When the soul reaches outward for wisdom rather than inward for truth, it falls into the illusion of separation. But the body, even in its vulnerability, is still sacred—and can be clothed once more in divine remembrance.
🌟 Why We Use Kabbalah Insights, Tarot Guidance, A Course in Miracles, Chakra and Energy Healing, Essential Oils, and Crystals
We weave these spiritual tools into our reflections and rituals because they are gateways to deeper understanding and alignment with the Divine. They help us bridge the gap between the seen and the unseen, the body and the soul.
🌟 Kabbalah Insights
Kabbalah reveals 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 Yesod (Foundation), which represents the soul’s creative power and its interface with the physical world.
- Descent of light: Kabbalah sees this moment as the soul’s first experience of separation, revealing the need for balance between divine wisdom (Chokhmah) and understanding (Binah).
- Interplay of Chokhmah and Binah: Here, the feminine and masculine principles awaken within, but without divine wisdom to unite them, confusion arises.
As we meditate on this passage, we remember that even when we fall into confusion, the divine light within us is never lost.
🌟 Tarot Guidance
🌟 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 our spiritual journey. The card of The Lovers resonates here, as it represents the soul’s choice between divine love and sensory attachment.
- Key reflection: The Lovers reminds us that every choice is an opportunity to return to divine union, even when we feel separate.
🌟 A Course in Miracles Reflection
A Course in Miracles teaches that “the body is merely a means of communication,” not our true self. This passage invites us to see beyond the coverings of the body and remember the soul’s eternal light.
- Key Lesson: “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.”
- Reflection: When we forget our light and identify only with form, we lose sight of our true power and purpose.
🌿 Why We Include Rituals
Every blog post in this series is more than a reflection—it is a living practice. Rituals are bridges between the seen and the unseen, inviting the soul’s highest truths to manifest in our lives.
By including meditation, journaling, tapping, or anointing, we honor the truth that spiritual transformation is a full-body, heart-centered journey.
💜 Chakra & Energy Healing Focus
Chakra: Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
The Sacral Chakra is the portal that links the unseen spiritual realms to the physical body. It governs creativity, desire, and the fluid balance between spirit and matter.
- Balanced state: When open and aligned, the Sacral Chakra allows us to experience the body as a sacred vessel, expressing divine light through form.
- Imbalance: When blocked, we may mistake the knowledge of the senses for true wisdom, losing touch with the soul’s guidance.
Our level of love or fear determines what we allow to enter through this portal. Love opens us to divine wisdom; fear closes the door to our true light.
