The Fool

The innocent businessman (fool) steps out of the train to seek his fortune in the green forest of possibility. The train platform is the entry into the world of concrete possibility and manifestation. The fool is released from the spirit train and his journey begins anew under his own aspect, rather than spirit directing or carrying him, he is now ambling under his own power. Behind those green forest trees of possibility, are meadows of self doubt, which the fool can meander by, get caught up in, feel overly exposed by, or brightly run through with out a care, what he ends up doing will be determined by his awareness. The platform sign says “Mind The Gap” as he gets off the train, but he knows that his destiny can take him anywhere.

Zero is likened to the oroborus. It is the beginning and the end. The innocent must always remember that the first step is a big one, but in order to start any journey one must be willing to believe in himself and take that first step. Will he be foolish and get caught up in the entanglement of thorns that so often lead us astray - seeking money and power? The message of the fool is be mindful of the gap between reality and possibility, and skip to keep your innocence, don’t get caught up or bogged down in reality, maintain innocence and welcome possibility.
