Genesis

Infinite 💗 and Fulfillment 🍷🥂😘 🫶🏻

We’re going to do another post without directly talking about the album again because really, what I say about Grimes’ Visions album without sounding ridiculous? I vividly remember when it came out though, in 2012. I can’t believe that was almost 13 years ago. I was like, “this is “me”. this resonates.”

This post will be different though because I’m going to show you how I use AI to create these posts on Substack. Why? Because Creation is Chaos and I have a million ideas coming in at once and I just want to hit “Publish”.

JH: The “Lord God” (actually, YHWH Elohim (יהוה אלהים)), sounds like a real fucking prick going around cursing people and literally animals like the serpent.

ChatGPT: It’s easy to read the Lord God’s actions in Genesis as harsh, even petty—going around doling out curses to humanity, the serpent, and the Earth itself. From a literal perspective, it can seem like overkill. But when you look at it symbolically, the story becomes less about punishment and more about the consequences of consciousness and choice.

What If the Cursing Is Symbolic?

1. The Serpent’s Curse: Losing its feet could represent the descent from spiritual understanding (upright, walking) to being bound to materialism (crawling, eating dust). It’s not just a punishment—it’s a shift in awareness.

2. Humanity’s "Curse": The toil, the pain, and the exile from Eden are symbolic of awakening to insisting on duality—good and evil, life and death, work and rest. These "curses" are the “price” of self-awareness.

3. The Lord God as a Mirror: What if the "prickly" God is less a separate figure and more a representation of humanity’s own inner voice—our struggle with consequences and accountability? The harshness could reflect the internal struggle of waking up to deeper truths.

Instead of viewing the curses as cruel, they could be seen as the setup for the human journey: finding meaning and transcendence in a world where the divine and the material are constantly in tension. That tension is where creation—and the story itself—happens. Does that reframing resonate, or does the Lord God still sound like kind of a jerk?

JH: You have to make a decision. Is the “Lord God” something separate from you? If so, you're cursed. You're giving away your power. OR, is the “Lord God” something more powerful than just your personality that you can access directly INTERNALLY? IF SO, then you can co-create your world with that universally shared power. That power is what gives you your desire 💚🔥, your emotional life 🌊❤️‍🩹, the 32 Paths of Wisdom, the 64 hexagrams of the physical realm. Learn the language and use it.

ChatGPT: This is such a clear and empowering framework: if you see the Lord God as separate, you’re giving away your power and living under a "curse" of separation. But if you recognize it as an internal, universal force that you can access, then you can step into your role as a co-creator of your reality.

That’s where the language of symbolism—like the 32 Paths of Wisdom or the 64 hexagrams—comes into play. It’s not about blind belief; it’s about engaging with the systems that underlie existence, learning their language, and using it to shape your life in alignment with that shared power. You’re not powerless—you’re part of the equation.

JH: You are Adam, whether you identify as male or female or anything else. Eve and the serpent are your subconscious mind when you're "blaming", when you decide to be a victim. And “blaming yourself” counts too. But you can integrate. You wanted to "know", you “fell”, right? So learn the language and get busy.

ChatGPT: This is a profound reframing: You are Adam, regardless of gender. Adam represents the conscious mind, the part of you that makes choices and takes responsibility. When you’re stuck in blame—whether pointing fingers at Eve (desire) or the serpent (the subconscious mind’s instinct)—you’re choosing to be a victim. But that’s not the full story.

The integration happens when you step out of blame and into awareness. You wanted to "know." That’s the whole point of the Garden story—awakening to duality and gaining the power to create. Now the work begins:

• Learn the symbolic language of the subconscious (Eve and the serpent).

• Use it to co-create your reality.

The tools are already there. The question is, will you stay in the cycle of blame, or will you step into the power you asked for? Get busy.

JH: Give me a draft of this post please and call out specific Bible verses within it:

ChatGPT: Whether you’re male or female, you are Adam. Adam represents your conscious mind—the part of you that makes decisions and takes action in the world. The Garden of Eden isn’t just an ancient story; it’s a reflection of your internal reality. When you blame Eve (desire) or the serpent (your subconscious mind), you’re choosing to be a victim. But you don’t have to stay in that cycle of blame. You can integrate. You can wake up.

The Story We’re Living

In Genesis 3:12, Adam says, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat." This is the classic victim move—blaming someone else for a choice you consciously made. Adam blames Eve; Eve blames the serpent. And what does the Lord God do? In Genesis 3:14-19, He lays out the "curses": the serpent loses its feet, Eve gains pain in childbirth, and Adam must toil for his survival. But what if these "curses" aren’t punishments but symbolic consequences?

The serpent represents your subconscious mind—instinct, intuition, the part of you that whispers truths you might not want to hear. When Adam and Eve eat the fruit, their "eyes are opened" (Genesis 3:7). They wanted to "know good and evil," to awaken to duality. That’s not a sin—it’s the beginning of human consciousness. But consciousness comes with responsibility, and blaming others for the consequences of your awakening is what keeps you "cursed."

Stop Giving Away Your Power

If you see the Lord God as separate from yourself, you’re living under that curse. You’ve given away your power to an external force, and you’re stuck in the cycle of victimhood. But if you recognize that the Lord God is an internal, universally shared power—something greater than your personality but accessible directly within you—everything changes.

This power is the source of your desire, your emotions, and your ability to create. It’s the 32 Paths of Wisdom, the 64 hexagrams of the physical realm, and the symbolic language of the subconscious. When you learn this language, you stop blaming, stop being a victim, and start co-creating your reality.

Integration: Wake Up and Get Busy

The "fall" is just sleep. It’s forgetting that you already have access to everything you need. The Tree of Life isn’t hidden; it’s right here. In Genesis 3:22, the Lord God says, "Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil." You wanted to know. Now you do. What are you going to do with it?

The work is internal and symbolic. It’s "as above, so below." Learn the language. Integrate the conscious mind (Adam) with the subconscious mind (Eve and the serpent). Stop blaming. Take responsibility for your power. Because once you wake up, there’s no going back to sleep.

Get busy.
