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.
🔄✨ Reincarnation & the Soul Journey of Adam
🌸 A Core Truth of This Decode Series
📖 Each Book of the Bible is not just a continuation of a story—it is a new incarnation of Adam, the soul in form. In every life, Adam awakens through desire, creates personas through Eve, and walks the long spiral home to Divine Union.
🌺 Eve is the spiritual chooser—the one who offers Adam the fractal personas he desires. Her love is unconditional. She does not control, only responds, providing what the soul asks for—even when that path leads through illusion.
🌐 This cycle mirrors the sacred Flower of Life:
- Each petal = a persona within a lifetime
- Each circle = a full reincarnated life
- Every intersection = a karmic lesson, a sacred turning, a point of remembrance
📚 Genesis is the spark.
🔥 Exodus is the awakening.
🕯️ Leviticus is the ritual.
🌲 Numbers is the wandering.
🏞️ Deuteronomy is the return.
✨ Wherever you are in this series, remember:
You are Adam. You are Eve. You are the soul remembering itself through every form.
This is not just scripture—it is your journey.
🌟 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.
✨ Closing Blessing
May you surrender fully to the holy waters that rise within.
May you rest in the sacred ark of your becoming.
May every illusion be washed away—and only truth remain.
You are being born again—not into doctrine, but into light.
You are the child of God, cradled in divine love.
So may it be.
