Adam, Eve, and the 6 Core Wounds of Original Sin #corewoundwheel #corewounds #twinflames #separation

Monica Grace maps six core wounds—control, abandonment, shame, rejection, betrayal, injustice—onto the Adam and Eve story, showing how each fractures from separation from the Creator. She pairs each wound with its healing opposite: surrender heals control, integration heals abandonment, honor heals shame.

All right, so let's get into this, um, this content about Adam, Eve, and the original— or the 6 core wounds of the original sin. So, um, Basically what we're going to be doing is looking at this core wound wheel. And as you can see, this, uh, we're looking at the bottom half of this, so the shadow side of this, where we have separation. And then we have 6 spokes of the wheel: control, abandonment, shame, rejection, betrayal, and injustice. And then it continues to fracture out from there And this is just a partial wheel, so there's actually several more circles of this wheel in the larger framework. So, but I just, I wanted to just show these for simplicity's sake and for this video. Now again, if you want to check this out in more detail, you can go to cardreadingqueen.com/freebies, and I talk more about this in the free PDF that I offer. About the core wound wheel, and it goes into like what each of these core wounds are and how, um, how this plays out on the twin soul journey, a number of other pieces to that, or, or the ascension journey if you're not on a twin soul journey, how this plays out. But it really kind of explains this in much more detail. So what I want to do in this content is share how the 6 core wounds and this original wounding of separation, how that plays out in the story of Adam and Eve. And so Adam and Eve as a story, it's a metaphor, right? It's the metaphor of how humanity was created. And there's some version of the Adam and Eve story across every major religion, every, every culture. And so I just wanted to share how You know, the story is there because it resonates with people. I just wanted to share though how this core wound wheel has been taken from that. So what is the original sin? I probably already give them this away, but the original sin is separation. And so on the twin soul journey, you see that, and we talk a lot about separation. And how it's the contrast to union. So, but the understanding there is really that union was our natural state with our creator. And so in this, in the Adam and Eve story, that creator is specifically God. So I'm going to continue to use the word God from here on out. But you can use whatever creator you desire, whatever resonates with you. So it could be your higher power, could be God, could be Mother Nature, be Source, Spirit, the Universe. There's so many different names for that, so feel free to kind of insert whichever makes sense to you. I'm gonna use God just because this is what the story metaphor uses. So in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were in their natural state. They were in union with God, and through the story, they come into separation with God. And so a lot of people think think that original sin is like evil or knowledge or something else. I believe that the original sin is separation. All right, so let's talk about the first core wound of control. Now basically, in this story of Adam and Eve, they are not allowed to eat from the tree of knowledge. That is an edict sent down from God. God tells them You know, you can have any fruit in this whole entire garden, but do not eat from this one particular tree. So what happens is the serpent comes along. The serpent is a creation of God, comes along and convinces Eve to eat the fruit anyway. He does this by sowing seeds of control. And let me get really specific about what those seeds are. So the first seed of control that he sows is you will not die if you eat from this tree of knowledge. Because God says, you know, don't eat from the tree of knowledge, you will then come to know death, and you know, then you will have to experience it basically, or it will become a part of your reality. So the serpent's like, no, no, no, no, if you eat from this tree, it's totally fine, you will not die, and you will also become like God. So, um, you know, the way, the way it's said in the story, either become like God specifically or become like a god. Um, really same thing. And so this is control. And if you look at control, it's really a desire to be like God. Um, and you can see this across everything. So I'll kind of explain that. So like, if you are feeling the core wound of control, you know, maybe you want to escape death or avoid death, um, probably want to find security, find safety, create through force, um, bypass divine timing. And so basically, um, and, and as I'm saying these, you may see like, oh yeah, like when I've been in a controlling place, like this is— it's definitely fallen under one of these categories where I wanted to create something, but I was trying to control how I got— how it got created, or I was trying to create something through force, or You know, I was trying to bypass divine timing, whatever it was. And so the antidote to this, and really, um, if you look at control as like a, you know, or if you look at wounding as the distortion, there's always going to be a divine alternative. So if you want to shift to the divine out of control, the distorted control, you can shift to a divine surrender. Let's continue the story. So we're going to go through abandonment. All right, so what happens in Adam and Eve's story is that Eve checks out the fruit and she finds herself desiring it. So she wants to eat this fruit. Um, she decides to eat it, and in doing so, she abandons herself and she also abandons God, her creator. So then she offers the fruit to Adam, who also decides to eat it, and he likewise abandons himself and God. And you know, this is— it's interesting because they both choose to abandon God. It's also interesting because it's really— it kind of explains where the idea of the masculine and the feminine came from. And they even, you know, archetypally, it even explains the dynamic dynamics between the masculine and feminine. So, you know, Eve as an archetype is often painted as the seductress who tempted Adam. So, you know, the thing to note though is that in the story, both of them decide to eat the fruit. And another interesting note is that nothing actually happens to them until they both decide to eat the fruit. So Eve eats the fruit and literally nothing happens to her. It's not until Adam also chooses to eat the fruit that this thing happens to them together. So, um, kind of representative of the twin soul journey and the masculine and feminine, which is that they made the core choice together. So I think that's really important. And this, this really, you know, I can't— I don't want to get into it in this content, but it really plays into the inner union framework, and particularly one of the, um, one of the dynamics that I talk about there, which is that, um, you know, it's this dynamic of, um, the distorted feminine being the seductress and the distorted masculine being in a place of blame. So trying to pass off his own decisions onto the feminine and making it her fault that he did something. So that's really embedded strongly in this story as well. So anyway, they, they both abandoned themselves. They abandoned their God. Um, and abandonment as a core wound is really around claiming what's not yours, which is what they did. They claimed the fruit from the tree, um, and it was not theirs to claim. And so abandonment, um, it can come out as fear of missing out, FOMO, come out as seduction, abandoning your own intuition and knowing. So this is what Eve did when she trusted the serpent over her own understanding, um, needing contrast to understand your desires. So, uh, and, and that's, you know, she— I think ultimately Eve and Adam desired to stay in the Garden of Eden, but they made a choice at some point that they needed contrast. So then they ate from the tree of knowledge. Claiming what is not meant for you. Yeah, tree of knowledge was not meant for them. Jealousy and coveting. So in the story, Eve truly covets God's all-knowing. That's why she wants to eat from this tree, because she wants to be, you know, she wants to be like God. So there's this jealousy there. And so as you shift to the divine, it's really shifting from abandonment to integration. And integration is, you know, it's a form of— it's a form of union, and it's realizing that, you know, we belong together, basically. So it's realized— so abandonment is claiming what's not yours. Integration is claiming what is yours, essentially. So then the story continues and we meet the core wound of shame. So what happens to Adam and Eve is they become aware of their nakedness and they decide to sew figs together to hide their shame around their nakedness and around their private parts that are visible. Yeah, that's basically all that happens in the story. It's like a couple lines. Um, but shame as a core wound is really about judging God's creations, or, you know, you could say judging your higher power's creations, judging the creator's creations. Um, so this can come across a lot in your journey on ascension or on your twin soul journey, um, primarily We primarily, we shame ourselves through judging ourselves, and we are a creation of our higher power. We are a creation of our creator. And so when we don't love ourselves, then we are, you know, that, that, that is the core wound of shame, um, judging ourselves. A question to ask yourself is, how can you judge yourself without judging God, or without judging your higher power? You really can't, because if you're judging God's creations, then you're judging the creator of God's creations, which is God, and you're judging God's decisions, um, his choices around creating you. So this can also be labeling things or people, taking on an event or label as your identity. So let's say you are you know, let's say you trip over things a lot. Well, that's something that you do, or something that happens to you. You can decide to say, I'm a klutz. So you're basically shaming yourself for tripping over something. So taking that on as an identity. And the way to shift to the divine on this is really to move from shame to honor. So instead of judging God's creations, you want to honor God's creations, including yourself. Continuing with the story, we come to rejection. So what happens with Adam and Eve is they hide in the bushes as God walks through the garden, and God's calling out, "Adam, Adam, where are you?" And Adam is just hiding from God, which the reason I'm laughing is just because of how like completely insane and silly it is to hide from your all-knowing Creator. It just, it's actually actually like ridiculously funny. Um, so basically they reject God, their creator and higher power, and of course he still knows where they are. Like, he's not, he's not tricked by their hiding at all. He's like totally aware of where they are and is like, um, it's interesting because he gives them— like, he knows where they are. He's, he's like right there at the bush, kind of like knowing that they're hiding behind it and calling out to them like, where art thou? Um, And they, you know, he, he's, he's really, um, compassionate to them. He lets them come out at, you know, he doesn't like run into the bush and like grab them and drag them out. He, um, continues to prod them until they reveal themselves. Um, so that's, that's a lesson for you if you're experiencing rejection on your twin soul journey. Um, so rejection is running and or hiding from what is yours. Um, so, you know, Adam and Adam and Eve tried to— they tried to reject God, but God was theirs. He was always theirs and they were always his. So running, uh, running in or hiding from what is yours comes across in avoidance, denial, running, chasing— the runner-chaser dynamic. I don't know if you guys are experiencing this or have experienced this before in your twin soul journey, but I'm gonna guess yes because we have a whole dynamic that talks about it. So yeah, the runner-chaser dynamic, it's really, um, it's really just the core wound of rejection. And it's, it's very— when you think about it in the context of Adam and Eve, it's like quite silly. Um, and the way God handles it is really, it's really, um, impressive. It's something to model for yourself in your journey. So moving from rejection to the divine is really around acceptance. So, you know, Adam and Eve, they had to accept that God was theirs and they were God's. And so then they do eventually reveal themselves to God. So now we get to betrayal, and what happens is that when God asks Adam and Eve what happened, they choose to blame So they go into a cycle of blame, a story of blame. So first Adam betrays Eve, and then Adam also blames God for giving him Eve. So he basically says, "I ate the fruit because you gave it to me." And he says— and he doesn't just say Eve, he says, "I ate the fruit because this woman that you created for me tempted me with it." So he's choosing to betray his twin soul, basically. His, you know, he's choosing to betray Eve, and in doing so, he's also betraying God because he's pointing out like, look, you're the one who gave this woman to me, and now she's tempted me. And so this is a very common story for the masculine, and it really explains, and, you know, explains through metaphor why when you betray your twin soul, you are betraying God and why that's the same thing. So he goes and betrays God in this way. So then Eve then betrays the serpent. And remember what I said earlier, the serpent is God's creation. So Eve is doing the same exact thing. So Adam tries to blame Eve, Eve then tries to blame the serpent, and at the end of the day, they're all blaming God because who created the serpent? Who put the serpent in the garden? You know, it's all just— all the blame is just going back to God right now. So, you know, basically betrayal, blaming God's creations for your choices, it's a lot to do with blame. And so, you know, in this particular story, the masculine feels like the feminine seduced him while the feminine feels like the masculine blamed and this may be sounding very familiar to you on your twin soul journey. So blame, lack of responsibility for your own choices. Shifting to the divine around betrayal comes through devotion. So instead of blaming God's creations for your choices, it's really a devotion to God's creations. And devotion, you know, it's it's another word for loyalty. So you can use loyalty in place of devotion. I chose devotion for the framework because I just thought it had a different, slightly different connotation, but it's basically this idea of loyalty. So our, you know, if Adam were being loyal to Eve at that time, he would have said, you know, God, we chose to eat this fruit. And he would not have sold Eve under the bus. And then the last core wound is injustice. So what happens to Adam and Eve is God punishes them. So he casts them out of the Garden of Eden, and now they must labor for their food. And this is, you know, he talks about this and how they have to like plant food now and grab it. Like they don't have these beautiful trees He gives them kind of like this harsh dirt that they have to labor on in order to feed themselves and in order to meet their basic needs. He also casts them away from the Tree of Life, and this Tree of Life is what keeps them from dying. It keeps them everlasting, gives them their immortality. And so as he casts them away from the Tree of Life, It's a pretty harsh injustice because they don't— although the fruit did not kill them immediately, they now have and will experience eventual death for their choices. So, they really have been cast out of heaven in this way. And so, you know, God also like puts up gates and puts angels there so that you can't enter the Garden of Eden again. Again. And it's basically like, it's pretty harsh for just eating some fruit and, you know, making one bad decision. But this is injustice, and this is how we experience injustice. Injustice is basically believing and buying into the illusion of time and space. And so that's what happened to Adam and Eve, is that they are cast out of the Garden of Eden and they are, um, they're, you know, they're forced to believe in space, which is really that they, that they have to, um, they're forced to like live in this physicality of like harsh growing conditions and having to labor and all this stuff. So, um, the, the illusion of space is really that you can't think of, like, you can't think of an apple and then, like, be holding it in your hand immediately because there's an illusion of space there. And then the same is true of time. Like, you can't plant a seed for an apple and then a second later, or, well, not even a second, but then it's, like, immediately there. It has to grow over time. And so that's the illusion of time. And so every injustice that we experience as humans is, um, it's an illusion of time and space. So not enough money over time, for example, is poverty. And that's, you know, we experience a lot of injustice around poverty. Not enough life or health over time is death. Not enough time in a relationship is separation. Things taking up space, feeling physical distance between you and something, or the physical distance between you and someone All of these are, as humans, we experience them through this core wounding. So the shifting to the divine for injustice is equality. And as we shift to equality, we are able to overcome this understanding of, and this wounding around what happened with Adam and Eve. So again, if you are interested in this concept around the core wound wheel, you can definitely check it out. It goes much, much deeper than what I've explained here, but I did want to just show how this one metaphor really kind of explains the, you know, this first the first two levels. So like the, the smallest level, which is union and separation, and then one level out, which goes through control, abandonment, shame, rejection, betrayal, and injustice. Um, and I also want to say that I actually, you know, I didn't look at the metaphor and then come up with the six core wounds. I actually, um, I identified those core wounds through a number of other methods and continued to like test these core wounds against my own understanding. So one example is that a lot of people list neglect as a core wound. And for me, I realized, no, like, neglect is not— neglect is not really a core wound. It's actually encompassed in one of the other core wounds. So neglect is, you know, typically it's, um, it's experienced through a parent-child relationship And, uh, typically it's, you know, somebody did not take responsibility for you as a child. So in that way, they abandoned you. Um, so, you know, there, there are a number of other things that the, you know, the internet or like whoever else, um, identifies as a core wound. And I looked into those and said, no, these are— this is actually a part of this other categorization. So I didn't, you know, I, I I got down to these 6 core wounds, and then I was looking at the Adam and Eve story, and I was like, yep, all, all 6 of them are here. Like, they're just— they were all right there. Um, and I thought it was really a fun metaphor for so many things on this journey and so much of the understanding around twin souls. So anyway, if you're interested in digging into that more, definitely pick up the Core Wound Wheel. It's free, and it's at cardreadingqueen.com/freebies. And so I have a free PDF that kind of goes into the core, the 6 core wounds, in more detail. Um, and then obviously, uh, we actually, you know, we go further than that. Um, I have a course. So as I said before, the, the core wound wheel, even what I'm showing right here, is just a um, it's just a portion of the actual core wound wheel. So I'm showing 3 levels in this visual. Um, the actual core wound wheel is 6 levels. And so, uh, because it's such a, you know, it's such a deep dive into these core wounds, these 6 core wounds, um, I have a course called Core Wound Wheel for Twin Souls. And so this course is gonna— what I mean, the main, the main benefit of taking a course like this is really that it can help you bring the subconscious to the conscious. So most of our wounding is subconscious, um, and it's writing the story of our lives for us. And it's, it's, um, it's basically dictating a lot of our patterns, a lot of our choices. And so the core wound wheel helps fracture out, um, what is really an original wound of separation. It helps fracture that out into many different pieces. And then as it gets fractured out, we can recognize those pieces in individual situations. And so we're able to see all the different threads of our separation through the core wound wheel. As we see them, we can start to recognize them and like recollect them. So we bring it all back in, shift them all at this, at this, you know, thread level. And as we do that, we heal these huge woundings around, you know, we, we heal control, for example, through healing all the threads of control that we experience. So it's really about, you really can't heal something unless it's conscious. And so it's really about taking that subconscious, that subconscious wounding and bringing it to the conscious. And then we go deep into healing the 6 core wounds, and we specifically talk about it through the lens of God or your higher power, your creator, whichever you'd like to call it, through yourself and then through your twin soul. And so we use this twin soul trinity to heal these 6 core wounds. You can also use anyone else, it doesn't have to be your twin soul. So if you're mad at your mom, for example, you can definitely Heal your union and go further on your ascension journey using this core wound wheel to heal your thing, your issues with your mom. So, um, if you are interested in this, go to cardreadingqueen.com/corewoundwheelcourse. And at the time of this recording, that course is currently in progress, so I'm currently recording the course. If you're watching this after the fact, then you may, you know, the course may be completed at that point. But at the time of this recording, if you're following me in real time, the course is still in, um, it's still in process, but it may be opened up shortly, or there will at least be a sign-up notification for it if it's something you're interested in. Um, so definitely, you know, you can go check out the course at cargreenqueen.com/corewoundwheelcourse, but also you can just, if you're kind of like on the fence or you just want to learn more, don't forget to go to cardreadingqueen.com/freebies, and then you can just download the free PDF just to kind of get started and to kind of understand a little bit more of what this is. So I hope that was helpful to you. Thank you so much for being here and for giving me your time and attention for this content. I never take it lightly. I hope it was useful to you, and have a beautiful and blessed day.
