The Cosmic Tarot - 0 The Fool
In the Cosmic Tarot book by Jean Huets it quotes.....
A jester in motley dances at the edge of a cliff.
He is stationary at the moment, even though he he does indicate forward/upward movement. his tip toes touches the ground, the earthly plane of reality. Mulkuth in the world of Assiah
A dog, symbol of fidelity, leaps beside him, perhaps warning him of the dangers of the deep.
The faithful dog dances along, but keeps the Fool from losing awareness of the surroundings.
symbol of Sirus
The Dog reminds of my dog before she passed away, when ever I zoned out, into my imagination and during my Meditations, she would after a period of time of my zoning that she would bark at me until I came back to reality of the present, out of my daydreaming. so the symbol of the dog rings true to me.
She would only allow me to leave the physical/Material plane of Malkuth for a short period of time. In a way you can view the Dog as a keeper of the gate of Malkuth, she keeps you planted here (your soul) in this world of illusion. Like a trap keeping you from god consciousness.
When the Fire of the Kundalini sparks, the Dog barks, jumps and bounces. the keeper of desires, she is your warning of your awareness of her and the ability to control her.
The message here is that your to lose your awareness of this reality Malkuth and enter into the higher planes of the tree of life. (ascending)
When your are (descending) from kether the crown, the message is that you are not to lose the memories of your soul. the kasha records or god consciousness.
His head reaches toward the sun and the stars; The sun inspires the Fool with spheres of light.
Sun symbol of Orion, creation of the stars, out of Nothingness. In Kabbalah this is Kether, in the world of Atziluth.
The universal god consciousness. Sub-conscious memories of the soul. Akasha records
Crystals grow from the ground. his feet caper on the very lip of a crystal-studded alpine cliff.
to me the crystals are the manifestations of the conscious mind of our reality that we create. The Material Plane. In Kabbalah this Malkuth in the world of Assiah.
The are 4 Spheres that surround the fool. In Kabbalah there are the 4 worlds;
Atziluth; fire, emanations, archetypal
Briah; water, creation, intuitive
Yetzinah; air, form, ideas and intellectual
Assiah; earth, action and physical
These are all interconnected, linked, representing connecting all worlds from one plane to the other. forming a completed soul to know thy self, internally and externally, the different planes of reality and the many parallel universes, all the possibilities that we are linked to.
This also represent the Chakras, his foot stand on the root chakra, his head sit at the crown chakra. the Kundalini (fire serpent) the practice of white tantra, to reach and unite with gods consciousness.
There are 3 practices of Tantra
White Tantra = practice of chastity, the ability to control and master the desires and urges. Using the kundalini fire to reach gods consciousness, the gate, they way back. The ability to express sexuality and love for and with another without orgasming. Using the kundalini energy for spiritual enlightenment to god consciousness.
Grey Tantra = practice of occasional orgasm, this path leads to black tantra, the chasing of desires. This still releases / breaks the vital energy/kundalini through release of the orgasm.
Black Tantra - practice of always orgasming, which leads to pain and suffering, the wrong path, this path leads the soul down to uncontrolled desires and never satisfied, the neverending cycle. the no return to god consciousness, the black hole.
Both Grey and Black Tantra, releases the Energy/fire of the serpent/kundalini, breaking the energy needed to return to god consciousness
Which leads you into the world (Kabbalah) of
Klippoth
The number 0 is the mathematical point of neutrality between positive numbers and negative numbers.
The Fool is the point of balance between destruction and creation. S/He signifies the held breath of the cosmic force: the exhalation is creation; the inhalation is annihilation.
The Fool is spirit on the edge of manifestation; the formless who precedes or succeeds the dualism of heaven and earth; “ground zero,” the center of destruction. An absolute neuter, neither male nor female, neither active nor passive, the Fool embodies in its circular digit all possibilities.
Imagination is a sister of ecstasy, and ecstasy is a razor’s edge between sanity and insanity. The most heartbreaking delusions and the most exquisite beauty spring from imagination.
The Fool embodies the imagination, with all its glamor and all its danger. It is appropriate that the Fool is the 0, the naught, for the imagination by itself signifies nothing. Only when given form does the imagination make an impact.
