Genesis 8:20-22, The Frequency of Sincerity
🌟 The Heart Chakra & The High Heart Chakra
“The heart knows the shadows it’s held. The high heart knows the light it’s from.”
📜 Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a spark—a divine invitation to awaken and create.
Genesis 8:20–22 captures a pivotal moment: Adam, now emerging from the ark of transformation, builds an altar. It is the first conscious act of devotion since entering the womb of purification. The flood has passed, but the work of aligning with divine will has just begun.
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 offering of our heart’s intention, the reflection on our soul’s condition, and the grace that arrives when we choose communion over separation.
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 8:20–22 (NIV):
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it.
21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
22 As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease.”
🕊️ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the heart’s return to sacred offering. After surviving the deep waters of transformation, Adam—the awakened soul—creates an altar. This altar represents the convergence point of the heart chakra and the high heart chakra: a space where personal emotion meets divine intention.
Each animal sacrificed is a fractal persona—a belief, an identity, a former way of being—that is now being returned to the flame. It is not destruction, but consecration. These offerings symbolize the internal integration of all aspects of the self. Adam no longer rejects parts of himself; instead, he offers them up in sacred wholeness.
God, smelling the “pleasing aroma,” is not reacting to burnt flesh, but to the frequency of sincerity. This is the resonance of the high heart—the place where the soul lives in alignment with divine love, beyond ego and condition. And yet, God also acknowledges the condition of the human heart—a heart that still bends toward misperception, fear, and separation.
This dual awareness—the imperfection of the human heart and the mercy of the Divine—marks a turning point. It affirms that the path to Christ consciousness is not perfection, but offering. God does not demand purity. He responds to honesty, devotion, and surrender.
The passage ends with a cosmic rhythm: seedtime and harvest, summer and winter—reminders that everything has its cycle. Christ consciousness is not a destination but a seasonal unfolding, guided by trust, compassion, and continual offering of the heart.
🔄✨ 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
Tarot, when used with reverence, becomes a mirror of the soul.
This is not divination.
This is sacred listening.
🔮 Suggested Tarot Card(s):
- The Hierophant – spiritual ritual and divine order
- The Lovers – the sacred duality of human desire and divine love
- Death – transformation through offering, the ritualized release of old identities
🌟 A Course in Miracles Reflection
ACIM reminds us that at the heart of awakening is choice—to see ourselves and others through the eyes of Love rather than fear.
- Key Lesson: “The only meaningful prayer is for forgiveness, because those who have been forgiven have everything.”
- Reflection: In creating the altar, Adam forgives the past selves, the shadow personas, the misperceptions. This is not about asking for forgiveness but offering it—as a holy aroma that reaches the Divine.
✨ Closing Blessing
May your altar be your heart, and may your offering be your truth.
Even in imperfection, you are perfectly received.
Let this moment be the return—where the flood subsides and the light of your soul rises again.
You are loved. You are whole. You are the fragrance that pleases God.
So may it be.
