XXI - The World...The LimiterDescription of the Illustration:Against a backdrop of three pyramids, an aged Egyptian Pharaoh presides over a council of eleven males who sit in a circle around a model-sized planet Earth. The first male is a child, and their ages get progressively older around the circle until the eleventh is almost as old as the Pharaoh; there is a twelfth chair, empty except for a pile of clothes that is stained with blood. Each member wears an elaborate headdress; the Pharaoh and the child, however, are distinctly different than the rest of the council. While the old ruler wears the crown of the god Osiris, the child wears the crown of the god Horus. The Pharaoh and the child seem dual-natured, for they are both dark-skinned yet have brilliantly contrasting white hair and white eyebrows, as well as being clothed in white. An older woman wearing the crown of the goddess Isis stands behind the Pharaoh, clasping a black cup that seems to have captured the light. The entire group is concerned, as there are clearly some countries at war on the model Earth; the council seems to be making a decision about the hostilities on Earth. The child ceremoniously plays a black drum, emblazoned with the image of Saturn upon it, with bones for drumsticks; blood dribbles down the Pharaoh's chin. The center pyramid is engraved with the pattern of a seven circuit sacred labyrinth. The upper left sphere is white (Kether) while the lower right sphere is black (Binah). Element: Earth, Masculine
The Completion of This JourneyThis is the final stage in the Hero’s Journey, for now the Transformed Fool has integrated all his disparate parts and remembered his True Self that was once shattered throughout this present lifetime and eternity, discovering the Ecstasy that lies beyond both the darkness of understanding and the light of wisdom.For the few who discover the Kingdom Within, the Center of All, the Ever-coming Crowned Child, the World is neither an illusion nor a prison, but truly becomes the Kingdom of Heaven. The Fool is now able to see, understand, and know whatsoever he so chooses. The Fool at last recognizes the true state of the World. He is free to act in any way he prefers, and capably interacts with All That Is. He reflects everything but holds on to nothing. Infinity fills him. The Fool has come full circle, but only now can he see what was always within him: - a Hero, a King, a Star.
