The fool is a wonderful representation of Adam/Eve before biting the apple and becoming self aware. All and nothing existing for the joy and beauty of it. Not a care, worry, no modesty or shame. An unconscious trot down the path, regardless of the circumstances, trials, etc. Following an unknown because it feels right, exciting, and good too. Letting the unknown higher power take control, make corrections, take care of business, and not realizing that you're doing it. Relying on the 'gut' to lead.

Universal Messenger carrying the genetic codes of Ever Present Life in his little bag of tricks. What sort of Life will he/she be sent to conjure up yet another reality adventure? Not exactly always sure where our next step will drop us into, it doesn't matter: where ever we fall, we contain all we need to begin again and again and again...

aleph, beginnings. no-thing, as opposed to nothing. no thing that we can be aware of. order, as opposed to chaos. the orphic egg, the universe before the big bang. the transendence of duality. the prophet, holy, or wise person. benefactor of humanity, the "watchers of god." the beginning and the end of the cycle, in which all things begin and to which all things return. the base of the three alchemical elements (mercury, sulphur, salt), the abyss in which all things must first manifest to manifest in the physical. 0, 00, 000- the kabalistic veils of "negative" existence. note that negative is not used here in the traditional sense, but a term indicating the profound lack of human understanding on this principle. the alpha AND the omega. you start your life cycle as the fool and work your way through the subsequent atu's just to become the fool once again.
