Genesis 7:17-20, Surrendering to Divine Timing
🌟 The Sacral Chakra
📜 Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a spark—a divine invitation to awaken and create.
Genesis 7:17–20 recounts how the floodwaters rose and lifted the ark above the earth, eventually covering even the highest mountains.
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 light from darkness, the remembering of our divine essence, and the call to step into the fullness of who we truly are.
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
“And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.” — Genesis 7:17–20 (KJV)
🕊️ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage is a sacred mirror of the born-again experience—not as a religious moment, but as a full spiritual immersion in the divine womb of transformation. The floodwaters are the amniotic waters of the soul’s rebirth, and the ark is the placenta—the spiritual organ that nourishes, protects, and cradles Adam’s divine essence as it gestates into Christ consciousness.
This is not destruction; this is gestation. Adam, having created fractal personas (Noah, family, animals) as aspects of his evolving soul, now enters a phase where he is no longer in command. He must surrender to divine timing, trusting that the divine feminine current—the waters of Binah, the sefirah of the womb—knows when and how the rebirth shall occur.
The submersion of the mountains represents the surrender of mental strongholds, pride, and control. The old consciousness—built on separation and striving—is swallowed by grace. Even the highest thoughts must yield to the mystery of divine incubation.
The ark-placenta rises with the flood, buoyed by trust, held in sacred suspension. This is the cocoon, the chrysalis, the holy dark where ego dies and soul emerges. Adam is not evolving into a better version of himself—he is becoming someone new, a child of light, Christ in form. He is being born again from within, through water and spirit.
🌟 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.
🌟 Kabbalah Insights
This passage aligns with Binah, the Divine Mother and womb of understanding. In the Tree of Life, Binah holds the seed of creation in sacred stillness, nourishing it through time and contraction until it is ready to emerge.
- Descent of Light: The descent here is into the watery void, where divine light gestates in sacred darkness.
- Chokhmah and Binah: The masculine spark (Chokhmah) has fulfilled its role. Now Binah, the cosmic womb, carries the soul to term.
As we meditate on this passage, we align with the archetype of divine gestation. The ark within us is already afloat—rising toward the Light.
🌟 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. Much like the parables of Jesus or the visions of the prophets, Tarot is a symbolic system that reflects universal spiritual truths.
Tarot, when read in sacred alignment, becomes a womb of reflection. Just as the ark was a vessel for Adam’s transformation, each card is a vessel for yours.
🔮 Suggested Tarot Card(s):
- The Moon – The subconscious womb, mystery, surrender
- Death – The death of identity, the transformation of the soul
- The Tower – The submerging of the old mental constructs
- The Hanged Man – The sacred pause, suspension, gestation
🌟 A Course in Miracles Reflection
A Course in Miracles teaches that rebirth cannot happen until illusions are washed away.
The Course says, “When you are willing to look without judgment, you will see the light.” (T-12.I.9)
- Key Lesson: “I am as God created me.” (Lesson 110)
- Reflection: In the flood of the soul, everything false is washed away—not to punish, but to reveal the truth. The ark is the remembrance of your divine self, carried safely through your undoing.
🌿 Why We Include Rituals

💜 Chakra & Energy Healing Focus
Chakra / Energy Center: Sacral Chakra – Womb of Rebirth
- Balanced state: When the Sacral Chakra is open, we are fluid, emotionally clear, deeply creative, and attuned to the rhythms of divine gestation.
- Imbalance: When blocked, we fear the unknown, resist surrender, and feel emotionally stagnant or spiritually disconnected.
In this passage, the Sacral Chakra becomes the cosmic womb. To be born again, we must first allow ourselves to gestate in the dark waters without fear.

After your meditation, journal what surfaced.
Did you feel resistance to surrender? Were there flashes of memory, emotion, or archetype?
Record anything that emerged, no matter how small. This is the voice of the womb speaking.

You are the child of God, cradled in divine love.
So may it be.
