Genesis 6:14-16, The Construction of an Internal Vessel

🌟 The Root Chakra

📜 Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a spark—a divine invitation to awaken and create.
Genesis 6:14–16 instructs Noah to build an ark of gopher wood, sealed with pitch, and designed with divine dimensions. On the surface, it appears as a manual for survival—but beneath the literal lies a mystical blueprint for the construction of the inner vessel.
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
“Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.”
— Genesis 6:14–16 (KJV)

📤 Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the construction of an internal vessel—a sacred container that carries the soul through turbulent transformation. The ark is not merely a lifeboat; it is the architecture of the awakened self. Each measurement, material, and layer corresponds to an energetic alignment—the rooting of divine order into the material plane.

To create an ark of “gopher wood” is to use that which is both of the Earth and divinely selected—a symbolic act of grounding spiritual essence in form. The sealing of the ark with pitch “within and without” speaks to the necessity of inner and outer alignment, a protective coherence between thoughts and deeds, soul and structure.

The dimensions—300 (length), 50 (breadth), and 30 (height)—carry numerological significance. “3” (as in 300 and 30) is the divine number of trinity, completion, and creation. “5” (from 50) represents the human being, the pentagram, and experiential life. Together, they encode the building of a complete spiritual human capable of withstanding floods of illusion and fear.

The “lower, second, and third stories” point to the layered consciousness: body, soul, and spirit—or subconscious, conscious, and superconscious mind. These fractal levels of awareness work together to sustain the inner being on its way to Christ consciousness. Adam, now integrating these levels through Noah, builds the ark of remembrance.

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 the sefirah of Malkuth (Kingdom)—the gateway through which spiritual light becomes grounded in physical reality.

• Descent of light: Divine instructions become embodied. The ark is the vessel of Shekhinah in material form.
• Interplay of Chokhmah and Binah: Wisdom (the blueprint) is merged with understanding (form) to bring structure to the divine plan.
• As we meditate on this passage, we align with the truth that we must prepare an inner sanctuary—one that bridges heaven and earth.

🌟 Tarot as Sacred Symbol: Why I Use Archetypes to Read Scripture
Tarot, when used with reverence, becomes a mirror of the soul. Just as the Bible uses allegory to guide the spirit, Tarot uses imagery to awaken the intuitive. Together, they allow the Word to be not just read—but embodied.

🔮 Suggested Tarot Card(s): The Chariot (spiritual vehicle of will), The Tower (divine instruction before upheaval), The Hermit (inner guidance in isolation)

🌟 A Course in Miracles Reflection
A Course in Miracles invites us to see this moment not as one of fear, but of preparation in love.

• Key Lesson: “If I defend myself I am attacked.” (Lesson 135)
• Reflection: The ark is not a defense mechanism—it is a sanctuary of trust. Building it represents surrendering into divine protection, not resisting fear.
• This is the holy instant—where preparation becomes an act of love, and the structure is built in faith, not survivalism.
