GENESIS 1:8
"And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day."
Inner Meaning
Genesis 1:8 reveals the identity of the firmament
introduced in verses 6–7. What was previously described as a
dividing plane within consciousness is now named: Heaven.
In mysticism, “Heaven” is not a location but a state of
consciousness, the first stable realm of the soul where higher and
lower forces can be distinguished.
This naming is crucial. To “call” something is to recognize its
function within the inner world. The firmament becomes Heaven
because it is the soul’s first experience of an inner sky, a realm
above the turbulence of the lower waters, where clarity, intuition,
and spiritual perception begin to operate.
The phrase “evening and morning” marks the completion of the second
stage of inner development.
Evening symbolizes involution, the descent of Spirit into matter.
Morning symbolizes evolution, the ascent of the soul back toward its
source.
The second day completes the formation of the soul’s inner
architecture.
Symbolic Breakdown
• The Firmament Called Heaven
- The first organized spiritual plane
- The realm of higher thought and intuition
- The inner sky of consciousness
- The boundary that allows discernment
Heaven is not “up there”; it is within, formed when the soul becomes
capable of distinguishing higher impulses from lower ones.
• Evening (Involution)
- The descent of Spirit into matter
- The weakening of the higher nature
- The soul’s immersion in the lower waters
Evening always precedes morning in Genesis because the soul begins
its journey in darkness.
• Morning (Evolution)
- The ascent of the soul toward the Divine
- The strengthening of the higher nature
- The awakening of spiritual perception
Morning is the return of light — the rising of consciousness.
• The Second Day
The second day marks the stabilization of the soul’s inner
structure. The waters are divided - The firmament is established -
Heaven is named.
The soul now has a place where the higher nature can speak.
This is also representative of the First-Born vs Second-Born pattern
throughout the bible.
Esoteric Interpretation
Genesis 1:8 describes the moment when the soul
becomes capable of inner clarity. The firmament, the boundary
between higher and lower, is recognized as Heaven because it is the
first realm where the soul can perceive spiritual truth.
This is the birth of discernment, the formation of the inner sky,
and the completion of the second stage of spiritual evolution.
The Esoteric Message…..
Heaven is formed within when the soul establishes
a clear inner boundary, allowing the higher nature to rise above the
lower and marking the dawn of true spiritual perception.
