Genesis 3:24, The Split Between Masculine and Feminine

🌟 Heart Chakra & High Heart Chakra
📜 Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a spark—a divine invitation to awaken and create. Genesis 3 speaks of the soul’s descent from divine innocence into the experience of duality, a parable of how we wander from the Source to remember our light once more. Adam and Eve’s journey is not just a historical moment—it is a living parable of my 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 me back to the Source of my being, as I awaken the light within and walk the eternal path of Adam’s transformation.

📖 Scripture Passage
Genesis 3:24 – “After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.”

🕊️ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the profound journey of the soul’s descent into form and the closing of the direct path to the Tree of Life. The cherubim, placed at the east of the garden, represent the guardians of the soul’s rebirth—portals of discernment that test the purity of the heart’s intention.
The east of the garden is where the heart lies—on the right side of the body, aligned with the masculine energy of action, strength, and cultivation. The high heart, the place of spiritual wholeness, rests in the west—on the left side of the body, aligned with the feminine energy of receptivity and intuition.
To walk the true path, I must honor the masculine energy within my right side, the active force of will and protection, while also embracing the receptive flow of the feminine within my left side.
The cherubim are not barriers but guides, allowing entrance to the high heart only when my soul is ready—when my heart’s intentions align with divine truth. Until that unity is found within me, the path to the Tree of Life remains hidden—a call to journey inward and heal the split between the masculine and feminine within my soul.

Insightful SideBar

🌟 Circle Back to the Broader Journey
In Genesis 3, I witness the paradox of the soul’s longing for knowledge and the spirit’s call to return to innocence. Adam and Eve’s choice is not merely disobedience—it is the soul’s exploration of separation and the invitation to remember divine wholeness. The cherubim stand as eternal guardians, reminding me that true union comes only when the heart and high heart align in sacred harmony.

🌟 Healing the Split Between Masculine and Feminine
The cherubim’s placement at the east of the garden speaks to the healing of polarity within me. The masculine (right side, heart) and feminine (left side, high heart) energies find reunion in the high heart—the western gate of the soul—where they merge into a single, harmonious current of divine love. Until this reunion, the Tree of Life remains veiled, calling me to journey deeper into my own soul.

🌟 Blessing and Affirmation
May I remember that the gates of the garden are never truly closed—they await my return when I am ready to walk the path of wholeness. May I honor the sacred journey of Adam within me, trusting that every shadow reveals the light, and every moment is a step closer to the Source.

🌟 Affirmation:
I honor the journey of my soul. I trust the unfolding of each step. In the union of my heart and high heart, I find my true path back to the Garden.

🌟 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.

---

The Lovers card embodies the choice of unity or separation—the heart’s longing to return to divine love. The Wheel of Fortune echoes the cyclical nature of spiritual lessons—the constant dance of descent and return.

🌟 A Course in Miracles Reflection
A Course in Miracles reminds me that every experience, even those that seem like exile, is an opportunity to choose love over fear.

• Key Lesson: “I am never upset for the reason I think.”
• Reflection: This helps me see that the apparent exile of Adam is not a punishment but a journey of remembering my divine truth.

🌿 Why We Include Rituals
Every blog post in this series is a living practice. Rituals bridge the seen and unseen, allowing the insights of scripture to become embodied truth. Through meditation, journaling, tapping, and anointing, I honor the sacred invitation to walk the path of Adam’s return.

💜 Chakra & Energy Healing Focus
Chakra and energy healing reveal how this scripture speaks to the body as a spiritual vessel. The Heart Chakra (east, right side, masculine) and the High Heart Chakra (west, left side, feminine) are portals linking the unseen spiritual realms to the body. My level of love or fear determines what is allowed to enter through these portals.

• Balanced State: When my heart and high heart are aligned, I remember my oneness with the Source, and the cherubim grant me entrance.
• Imbalance: When blocked by fear or duality, I feel disconnected and cannot see the path to the Tree of Life.

🌿 Essential Oils

• Rose – Softens the heart and invites divine love.
• Frankincense – Elevates awareness and clears spiritual pathways.
• Sandalwood – Grounds me in sacred presence, opening the high heart.

💎 Crystals

• Rose Quartz – Nurtures the high heart’s gentle expansion.
• Clear Quartz – Clarifies the path back to the Source.
• Emerald – Brings harmony to the masculine and feminine within.

👐 EFT Tapping Sequence

• 🌀 How to Use This Tapping Sequence
  Before beginning, take a few deep breaths and tune in to how I feel. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) helps release emotional blockages and realign my energy. I gently tap with my fingertips on the points listed below, following the affirmations aloud or silently. I repeat the process 2–3 times or until I feel a shift. This practice helps integrate the spiritual message of Genesis 3 into my body and soul.
  1️⃣ Crown: “I open myself to divine light and higher consciousness.”
  2️⃣ Third Eye: “I release all blocks to spiritual clarity and trust the divine unfolding.”
  3️⃣ Heart Center: “I am a vessel of light, connected to my higher self and the Source.”
  🌟 Integration Breath: I breathe deeply, letting each tap align my soul with divine truth.

🌅 Simple Anointing & Meditation Ritual

• Anointing
  I place a drop of rose or frankincense on my fingertips. I gently anoint my heart (right) and high heart (left) while whispering: “I anoint myself with divine light, opening to the Source.” I may also anoint other chakra points if called.
• Crystal Companion
  I hold or place rose quartz on my high heart to amplify my connection to divine love.
• Meditation for Divine Union
  I sit comfortably, spine straight. I close my eyes and breathe deeply. I visualize a waterfall of light descending into my high heart, dissolving all shadows. I affirm softly: “I am an open vessel of divine light. I trust the wisdom of the Source within me.”

🖋️ Journaling for Reflection
After my meditation, I journal any insights or feelings that arose. I honor these as whispers of my soul’s awakening.

✨ Closing Blessing
May the divine light illuminate my path, guiding me to remember who I truly am. Let it awaken the sacred truth within me, and may I walk each step in harmony with the Source of all creation. I am the light of creation. So may it be. 🌟
