Learning to Understand the Creator: The 18-ChakraVerse | The First of the Four Higher Kingdoms

By Iris J Chapman

In all your ways, acknowledge Him.

Introduction: The Relationship That Always Existed

Adam does not arrive at the Causal Chakra to establish a relationship with his Creator. That relationship has existed from the beginning. Adam is of God, an individualized spark of intelligent light originating in Source. He does not need to construct a connection to his Maker, earn the ability to hear Him, or develop a chakra that makes divine communication possible. The relationship is inherent in Adam’s very existence. What Adam must develop is his understanding of that relationship.

Throughout his education, Adam has learned to construct personas, govern his inner kingdom, recognize his limitations, and distinguish his authority from that of the Creator. At the Veil Chakra, he confronted his mistaken identification with the personas he had constructed. At the High Throat Chakra, he learned to acknowledge his identity without delusion. Now, at the Causal Chakra, he faces a more sophisticated responsibility: he must learn to understand the Creator’s direction without assuming that his own understanding is sufficient. Proverbs 3:5–6 establishes the instruction:

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

The emphasis here is not on establishing communication, for Adam has always been capable of hearing his Maker. The challenge is learning to recognize, comprehend, and cooperate with what he receives.

The Causal Chakra teaches Adam to understand the Creator without confusing his own interpretations with divine instruction.

The Point: Adam’s Original Relationship With Source

Before Adam constructed his first persona, before he experienced the conditions of the Cube, and before he understood the nature of his existence, he was already of Source. The Point represents this fundamental existence. Adam cannot escape the Point because he cannot escape the present. His circumstances change, his constructions develop, and his understanding matures, but his existence remains grounded in what Source has given him.

The Circle represents Adam’s energy field, another foundational aspect of his being. Neither the Point nor the Circle is an achievement, and neither is a reward for spiritual development. They belong to the original construct. The same distinction applies to Adam’s relationship with Source: Adam does not construct himself into divine relationship. He must come to understand the relationship that already exists.

This is why the Creator’s question in Genesis 3:9 remains so important: Where art thou? God does not need Adam’s geographical coordinates, nor does He need Adam to establish a communication channel. Adam hears the question perfectly well. But his response reveals his limited understanding of himself, his actions, and his responsibilities. He attempts to distance himself from his own construction by shifting responsibility toward Eve. Within our interpretation, Eve then identifies the serpent, which represents Adam acting through a misaligned persona.

God’s subsequent actions change the conditions of Adam’s education. The relationship remains; the curriculum changes. And the question continues throughout Adam’s development:

Where are you?

Source already knows the answer. Adam must learn to give an increasingly accurate account.

The Cube: A Classroom That Can Obscure Understanding

The Cube belongs to Source. Its laws, conditions, and limitations are established by the Creator, and Adam cannot alter its fundamental architecture, determine every circumstance he encounters, or control the consequences of every action. The Cube is not designed to give Adam a relationship with God, since he already possesses that relationship by virtue of his origin. Instead, the Cube provides the conditions in which Adam must learn to understand himself.

This presents a profound challenge. Adam experiences physical existence through a body. He develops personas, pursues desires, establishes relationships, encounters limitations, and constructs manifestations. These experiences can become so compelling that he mistakes them for the entirety of his existence. He may identify himself with his body, his circumstances, or the personas through which he acts, and he may confuse his ability to construct with authority over the construct itself.

The Cube can therefore hinder Adam’s understanding, not because the Creator has severed their relationship, but because Adam must learn to distinguish his origin from the environment in which he is being educated. The classroom is real, its consequences are real, and its responsibilities cannot be ignored. But the classroom is not Adam’s Source, and his education requires him to recognize the distinction.

Source Governs Adam’s Curriculum

The original construct is complete. Adam does not create new chakra bases through spiritual development; the inherited and non-inherited bases belong to the architecture provided by Source. What changes is Adam’s access to the building blocks and his understanding of their possibilities, and these matters belong to Source’s jurisdiction. Source continuously assesses Adam’s development, determining the educational conditions appropriate to him, which building blocks become accessible, and what understanding he is prepared to develop.

Adam does not authorize his own advancement, nor does the Cube independently determine his spiritual readiness. The Cube provides the conditions and consequences through which Adam gains experience, while Source evaluates his development and determines the curriculum that follows. This distinction is demonstrated in Eden. God questions Adam, Adam responds, and his response reveals his present condition. God then takes decisive action. The educational conditions change, but Adam remains within the Creator’s authority.

We should not assume that every divine assessment results in an obvious announcement or dramatic intervention. Adam may encounter a new educational responsibility without immediately understanding its significance. He may receive access to a building block before recognizing its possibilities, or possess considerable knowledge without having mastered its application.

Source governs access. Adam is responsible for what he does with what has been entrusted to him.

Simeon: Hearing Is Inherent, Understanding Develops

The tribal assignment of the Causal Chakra is Simeon. Genesis 29:33 associates Simeon’s name with hearing, as Leah names her son in recognition that the LORD has heard her. Within the 18-ChakraVerse, Simeon represents spiritual hearing. But we must distinguish hearing from understanding. Adam is of Source, and divine communication does not begin when he reaches the Causal Chakra. Throughout his development, he has encountered instruction, guidance, warning, and consequence. Some communications he may recognize immediately, while others may remain beyond his understanding for years.

The challenge, then, is not necessarily the absence of communication. It is Adam’s interpretation. His established personas, desires, fears, expectations, and previous experiences can all influence what he believes he has heard. He may recognize an instruction and misunderstand its purpose. He may understand an instruction and refuse to follow it. He may even act correctly without comprehending why the action matters. These are different conditions, and the Causal Chakra develops Adam’s capacity to distinguish among them.

Simeon’s assignment therefore concerns comprehension, discernment, trust, and cooperation. Adam must learn to recognize the limitations of his own interpretations without assuming that those limitations indicate a separation from Source.

The Many Ways Source Communicates

The biblical record describes divine communication through dreams, visions, spoken instruction, symbolic experiences, circumstances, other individuals, and the activity of the Holy Spirit. There is no reason within our framework to restrict Source to a single means of communication.

Consider Samuel. In 1 Samuel 3, Samuel hears his name but initially mistakes the source of the call. He responds to Eli because that is how he understands the experience. The communication occurs before Samuel correctly identifies its source, and this distinction is central to the Causal Chakra. Adam may hear without recognizing whom he is hearing. He may receive information without understanding its significance. He may also interpret ordinary circumstances as divine instruction when they do not support such a conclusion.

The developing responsibility, therefore, is discernment. The Causal Chakra does not grant Source the ability to reach Adam; Source has always been able to reach him. It refines Adam’s ability to understand what he encounters.

The Creator’s Thoughts Are Not Adam’s Thoughts

Isaiah 55:8 declares:

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Adam possesses intelligence, but his intelligence is not unlimited. He can reason, observe, compare, remember, anticipate, and construct, and these capacities are essential to his education. Yet he cannot perceive every variable within the Creator’s classroom, nor does he possess complete knowledge of the purposes, conditions, and consequences associated with every event. He may sincerely believe an action is righteous while overlooking consequences that make it destructive. He may also dismiss something as insignificant because he cannot see its relationship to a larger undertaking.

The Creator’s understanding is not restricted to Adam’s perspective, which is why Proverbs instructs Adam not to lean exclusively upon his own understanding. The instruction does not diminish intelligence. It places intelligence within its proper jurisdiction.

Adam must use the understanding he possesses without mistaking it for the understanding of Source.

The Surgeon: When the Small Thing Matters Most

Consider a surgeon preparing for an operation. The surgeon may possess extensive education, years of experience, and exceptional technical ability, yet remains subject to the biological laws governing the procedure. Failure to perform appropriate surgical hand hygiene can introduce dangerous microorganisms and increase the risk of infection. The surgeon’s good intentions do not suspend those laws, and the complexity of the procedure does not make the smaller responsibility any less important.

This illustrates Adam’s position within the Cube. He may develop extraordinary capacities while remaining subject to principles he did not establish. He may focus so intensely on a great undertaking that he overlooks an essential ordinary responsibility. Notice, too, that the surgeon does not require a supernatural announcement to understand the importance of hand hygiene. The information is already available through established knowledge and professional instruction. The real question is whether the surgeon understands it and acts upon it.

Likewise, Adam must not assume that divine instruction is always dramatic. The small thing may be essential to the greater purpose, and Adam may not understand its significance until much later.

Simeon and Levi: When Conviction Exceeds Understanding

Genesis 34 provides an example of the danger of acting upon a genuine concern without sufficient discernment. Simeon and Levi respond to the violation of their sister Dinah. Their concern involves a serious injustice, yet their response includes deception and collective violence. Within our framework, this account illustrates how shadow-in-service personas can become misaligned when their protective capacities are not properly governed.

Adam may correctly recognize that something is wrong without understanding how to respond lawfully. He may confuse the intensity of his conviction with divine approval, or assume that because his intention is protective, the action he proposes must be righteous. But intention alone does not establish alignment. In Genesis 49:5–7, Jacob condemns the brothers’ anger and cruelty.

The lesson is not that protective capacities should be abandoned. It is that they must remain subject to disciplined governance and a developing understanding of Source’s direction. The Causal Chakra asks Adam to recognize that identifying a problem does not automatically mean he understands the appropriate solution.

The Simeon of Luke: Recognition Without Force

Luke 2:25–35 introduces another Simeon, a man awaiting the consolation of Israel. The account describes the Holy Spirit as being upon him and records his encounter with the infant Jesus in the temple. To an ordinary observer, the event might have appeared unremarkable, yet Simeon recognizes its significance. He does not manufacture the event or attempt to force its fulfillment. He waits, receives, and responds.

This Simeon provides a contrast to Simeon and Levi. One account illustrates the danger of acting from conviction without sufficient discernment, while the other illustrates receptivity, patience, and recognition. Together, they help us examine Adam’s developing ability to understand divine communication without attempting to control its timing or outcome.

The Inner Kingdom and the Problem of Interpretation

Adam enters the Causal Chakra with an established inner kingdom. He has constructed personas with different functions, tendencies, memories, and patterns of response. Some are aligned, some are shadows-in-service, and others may be misaligned. These personas influence how Adam interprets his experiences. A protective persona may interpret uncertainty as danger. An ambitious persona may interpret opportunity as permission to advance. A fearful persona may interpret unfamiliar circumstances as a reason to withdraw.

These responses do not necessarily reveal what Source is communicating. They reveal how Adam’s constructions are interpreting what they encounter, and this distinction requires careful attention. Adam must learn to recognize the activity of his inner kingdom without surrendering his authority to whichever persona speaks most forcefully. He must distinguish an experience from his interpretation of it, and he must recognize that confidence is not certainty and that emotional intensity is not proof of divine instruction.

Stillness can assist this examination, allowing Adam to observe his inner activity before converting an impulse into action. The objective is not to silence every persona. It is to govern the inner kingdom with increasing discernment.

The Swords of Truth: Examining Understanding

The Tarot assignment of the Causal Chakra is the Suit of Swords. Within the 18-ChakraVerse, Swords represent truth, examination, mental clarity, and discernment, making them especially appropriate to a chakra concerned with the distinction between hearing and understanding.

The Ace introduces awareness of truth, and the Two presents competing interpretations. The Three confronts Adam with painful recognition, while the Four emphasizes reflection and stillness. The Five examines the consequences of distorted judgment, and the Six represents movement beyond established narratives. The Seven confronts self-deception, and the Eight examines confinement within limiting interpretations. The Nine addresses fear and the danger of treating anxiety as knowledge, and the Ten represents the ending of a false understanding that can no longer be sustained.

The Court Cards extend these lessons. The Page represents the Observer, learning to examine before concluding. The Knight represents the Activator, who must distinguish appropriate action from impulsive response. The Queen represents the Discerning Mind, developing clarity and restraint. The King represents the Governor, who must apply disciplined judgment within Adam’s rightful jurisdiction. These symbolic lessons do not create Adam’s relationship with Source. They help illustrate his developing responsibility to examine what he believes he understands.

The Icosahedron: Embodied Flow and Adaptation

The sacred geometry assignment of the Causal Chakra is the Icosahedron. A regular Icosahedron possesses twenty triangular faces, thirty edges, and twelve vertices, and within the 18-ChakraVerse it represents embodied flow and adaptation. Adam remains within the Cube, where circumstances change and new information becomes available. He cannot govern every external condition or predict every consequence, nor can he assume that an interpretation formed yesterday will remain sufficient when additional information arrives today.

He must therefore develop the ability to respond intelligently without abandoning his principles. Adaptation is not submission to every impulse; it is the capacity to revise an incomplete understanding when further knowledge becomes available. The Icosahedron symbolizes Adam’s developing ability to remain responsive within changing conditions while recognizing that the Creator’s intelligence exceeds his own.

Adam does not need to control the entire classroom to cooperate intelligently within it.

Eve: Understanding Before Construction

Eve remains Adam’s helpmeet, the Spark of the Holy Spirit entrusted to him by Source, and she participates in bringing his intentions into construction. But the success of a construction does not automatically establish that Adam understood its purpose or consequences. He may direct his creative capacities toward a goal that rests upon incomplete information. He may construct a persona capable of achieving a particular objective without recognizing how that persona might later become misaligned. He may even produce an impressive manifestation while misunderstanding its relationship to Source’s purpose. This returns us to the central question of manifestation:

You are already manifesting. Is it good?

The Causal Chakra adds another:

Do you understand what you are directing Eve to construct?

Adam’s relationship with Eve does not eliminate his responsibility for his choices, and his ability to manifest does not establish divine authorization for every construction. He must become increasingly attentive to the difference between what he desires, what he believes he understands, and what Source may require.

Consequence Remains the Teacher

Adam continues to experience consequence throughout his development, and the Causal Chakra does not exempt him from the laws and conditions of the Cube. He acts, observes, interprets, and learns. Yet consequence does not provide a complete explanation of every event. A favorable outcome does not necessarily prove alignment, and an unfavorable outcome does not automatically establish wrongdoing. The account of Job reminds us that suffering cannot be reduced to a simple indication of divine punishment.

Adam does not possess all the information necessary to explain every circumstance, but Source does. This is why the distinction between the Cube and divine assessment remains essential. The Cube provides experiences and consequences, while Source evaluates Adam’s development and determines the curriculum that follows. Adam’s responsibility is to learn from what he encounters without pretending to know everything about its origin or purpose.

Trust, Obedience, and Free Will

Trust does not require Adam to abandon intelligence. Obedience does not eliminate free will. And cooperation with Source does not make Adam equal to the Creator. Adam has been given authority within his inner kingdom, and he must exercise that authority responsibly by making decisions, governing personas, and directing his constructions. At the same time, he must recognize that his understanding is limited.

The instruction to acknowledge Source in all his ways speaks to this relationship between responsibility and dependence. Adam does not cease being responsible because he trusts his Maker; rather, he becomes more conscious of the limits within which his responsibility operates. Trust allows him to proceed without demanding complete knowledge of every variable. Discernment requires him to examine his interpretations rather than automatically treating every inner impression as divine instruction. Obedience requires a willingness to respond to what he understands without claiming authority that belongs to Source. These capacities must cooperate.

In All Your Ways: The Ordinary Life of Adam

The instruction in Proverbs is comprehensive: In all thy ways acknowledge him. It does not reserve Adam’s relationship with Source for ceremonies, emergencies, or extraordinary experiences. It concerns his daily decisions, his responsibilities, his constructions, and his responses to circumstances. Adam may encounter significant lessons through seemingly ordinary activities. He may discover that a small responsibility was essential to a larger undertaking, recognize that a familiar persona has been shaping his decisions without sufficient examination, or learn that an assumption he held confidently was incomplete.

None of these experiences requires Adam to establish a new connection with Source, because the relationship already exists. What develops is Adam’s understanding of how to participate consciously within that relationship. And because Source governs Adam’s curriculum, the lessons appropriate to one stage of development may differ from those of another. Adam must remain receptive without attempting to dictate the educational process.

Preparation for the Remaining Higher Kingdoms

The Causal Chakra is the first of the Four Higher Kingdoms, and it introduces a more sophisticated responsibility within Adam’s continuing education. He has learned to recognize his identity, govern his inner kingdom, and acknowledge the limits of his jurisdiction. Now he must refine his understanding of divine direction. This prepares him for the responsibilities associated with the Soul Star, Stellar Gateway, and Covenant Chakras. His education will increasingly involve the governance of established constructions, the demands of purpose, the demonstration of mastery under pressure, and the possibility of undertaking responsibilities with Source’s backing.

But none of these developments makes Adam independent of his Maker. His existence remains of Source, and his construct remains provided by Source. His curriculum remains under Source’s jurisdiction, and his authority remains limited to what has been entrusted to him. The Causal Chakra does not establish the relationship upon which these responsibilities depend. It develops Adam’s understanding of that relationship.

Conclusion: Hearing Was Never the Problem

Adam has always been of Source. He did not enter the Cube to acquire a relationship with God; he entered an educational environment in which he must learn to understand his origin, his construct, his Point, and his responsibilities. The conditions of physical existence can obscure that understanding. His personas can influence his interpretations, and his intelligence can become a source of confidence that exceeds his knowledge. Yet none of these conditions changes his origin.

Simeon represents spiritual hearing, the Swords of Truth illustrate the examination of understanding, and the Icosahedron symbolizes intelligent adaptation within changing conditions. Eve remains Adam’s helpmeet. Consequence remains the teacher. And Source remains the authority over Adam’s curriculum and his access to the building blocks of his construct. The instruction remains:
