Genesis 3:8-9, Where Are You?
š The Heart Chakra
š Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a sparkāa divine invitation to awaken and create. In Genesis 3:8-9, Adam and Eve find themselves hiding in the garden after their choice to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. This moment symbolizes the soulās confrontation with its separation from the Divine, where the soul attempts to retreat into the shadows of fear and shame. The “sound of the Lord God walking in the garden” becomes a calling back to wholeness, asking Adam, “Where are you?” This passage is not just a historical momentāit is a living parable of your own spiritual awakening, the story of Adamās 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 Adamās transformation.
š Scripture Passage
Genesis 3:8-9 (NKJV)
āAnd they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, āWhere are you?āā
šļø Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the moment of spiritual confrontationāthe instant when the soul, caught in its choices, must face the reality of separation from its divine origin. Adam and Eve, now aware of their vulnerability, hide from the presence of the Divine. This is the soulās instinct to withdraw when confronted with its own misalignment. But Raphael, the Archangel of healing, steps in to call Adam back, asking “Where are you?”
In this moment, the Lord Godāas a divine guide or Archangelāconfronts Adam with spiritual accountability. Raphael, in his gentle confrontation, invites Adam to reflect on his actions. This is a moment of healingānot through judgment, but through the restoration of spiritual awareness. The Archangelās call is one of love, offering Adam the opportunity to step back into alignment and remember his connection to the Divine.
Eve, the inner spiritual helpmeet, has no intention of leading Adam but simply observes his desires. She provides the persona necessary to fulfill his desires, yet does not demand his adherence to any specific spiritual path. Eve supports Adam in his journey, but it is Raphael who challenges him to reflect and realignāa vital step in the healing process.
š Emerald Tablet Insight
From Tablet I ā The History of Thoth the Atlantean
āThen spoke HE, the MASTER of the CYCLE, saying: Know ye, O Thoth, in the beginning there was VOID and nothingness, a timeless, spaceless, nothingness. Then there came the command, LET THERE BE LIGHT. And from the light came the Word, and from the Word came all.ā
The question āWhere are you?ā in Genesis 3:9 is not an inquiry of location, but a soul summonsāa divine echo vibrating in the Heart Chakra. It is the return of the Word, calling Adam (the soul) back to remember. Like the Emerald Tabletās recounting of light emerging from the void, this passage marks the first veil drawn between soul and Source. In fear, Adam hidesālike The Hermit withdrawing into the inner cave, burdened by shame. Yet the question itself is the spark of reunion. It pierces through the illusion of separation (The Tower) and invites Adam to reconnect with the Divine Mother within (The Empress)āthe fertile space of unconditional love and spiritual remembering.
This moment is where the fractal journey of the soul truly begins. The voice of God is not punitiveāit is magnetic, calling us through the Heart to come home.
š Tarot as Sacred Symbol: Why I Use Archetypes to Read Scripture
š® Suggested Tarot Card(s): The Hermit, The Fool
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 used with reverence, becomes a mirror of the soul. Each cardālike The Empress, The Hermit, or The Towerārepresents an inner state, an archetype we meet on the path of transformation. These symbols help bring subconscious material to the surface, revealing what scripture is stirring in us.
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 readābut embodied.
This is not divination.
This is sacred listening.

A Course in Miracles invites us to shift from fear to love, seeing every word and action as an expression of divine blessing and service.
- Key Lesson: “I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.” This passage invites us to step out of the fear of separation and into the remembrance of our eternal unity with the Divine.
- Reflection: Just as Adam is called to reflect on his choices, we are reminded that we are never truly separated from the Divineāonly momentarily distracted. Each moment is an opportunity for spiritual awakening, for returning to love.
This is the holy instantāwhere we remember that light is always present, even in our darkest moments.
