21 The World
Karmic Tarot
UPRIGHT: Here is the 21st stop on your overall journey. There is worldly
knowledge and attainment of your mental goals, as expressed in the maximum
expectations of The Star. A well-rounded education has been achieved.
The World is at your doorstep even as you are at the doorstep of the universe.
This is another “anything is possible” status point similar to that represented
by The Magician (1), except that it is not “anything is possible” as pure
potential at the beginning of beginnings, it is “‘anything is possible” after
many tests and lessons learned. This is experiential intelligence. Here are
theories that have been proven in the laboratory of life. Wholeness. There is
a full understanding of the pattern of the whole in every little piece, the
holographic principles underlying our perception of reality. Here is the hermaphrodite
dancing, uniting Hermes and Aphrodite as dualities are resolved;
the limited lower self of the separated ego is now the unlimited higher Self of the superego united
with the other, with universal mind. This is the full realization of achievement, as the mind is
aware of completion of the Karmic Contract and so is justifiably and properly proud. Here, to not
be proud would be to err, for the self-ego is meant to become fulfilled as self-esteem. INVERTED:
Naivete. Sin of Pride. Having missed the mark, and either aware or unaware of that fact. At one
extreme, hubris, arrogance. At the other extreme, lack of confidence, poor self-esteem/self-worth,
inability to accept a compliment, praise, a reward.
22/0 The Fool
UPRIGHT: Here is the immortal mortal. Invincibility. The Magician
has learned all his lessons. Complete lack of fear, through innate knowledge
of death. Understanding of death, both as illusion and hard reality, that at
birth we begin to die; at death we begin to live. Here is complete balance,
centered awareness. Transcendent of space/time. To earthly knowledge has
been added much of the knowledge beyond the veil, and the ability to see
beyond earthly duality while living it. The ultimate optimist. Appears very
lucky to onlookers, and is indeed charmed. There is much good humor in all
things. Unmitigated joy, walking on air, as here is the ability to see the positive
lesson inherent in any presentation of negativity, to transform pain into
pleasure. Here is The Fool as representation of God’s Will in the duality with
the Magician (Man’s Will). The Fool in knowing that he knows, also knows
what he does not know. His reaction is “Oh, but of course!” When opposites reveal themselves to
be but two sides of the the same one. Whenever we discover the surprise in what was before so
hard to see, there is a relief, a lightening of the spirit that comes with the enlightening of the mind.
INVERTED: Indiscriminate use of knowledge. Irresponsibility. Misplaced humor. Foolishness.
This is someone who knows better and yet for reason of whim or malice, or simple neglect,
chooses to go against his own knowledge.
