The fool (innocence), christianization and the Æon Christ

I will mention here what I think of innocence; not ignorance, which is the lowest form of innocence as seen in the inexperienced and the unknowing (which does not necessarily mean it lacks appreciability, think of children for instance), but a greater innocence defined as “a duly chosen, heightened state free from guilt or sin, immutable, irrespective and transcendental of the inflictions brought on by the cosmic as well as of the karmic phenomena”.

The collective descent or collective fall was not initially rooted in unrighteousness, more so nourished by the necessity to gather knowledge and to write the book of man (the union of the soul and the subconscious - to know thy "self", meaning God). It however went further than intended and is what we call the carnal sin (it has nothing to do with what is commonly understood), but rather the divine creation of God impelled to be incarnated into physical, material beings. In order to return to a state of innocence (this time greatly enriched by our formal lives), we must progress here on the physical plane and thus this process must not be interpreted as anything other than a universal reconciliation.

The first Tarot card: the Fool (number 0) represents innocence. It also symbolizes a Christianized state, the state of the Æon Christ, one that cannot be altered regardless of the corruption that seems to be ever striving in the mortal, even in the astral, worlds. That however does not in any way signify that one is exempt of suffering...and yet this innocence subsists, which is what makes it so invaluable. Osho Zen Tarot has an interesting definition “A fool is one who goes on being [trusting, caring, forgiving, loving...] against all experience; his [state] is so pure that nobody can corrupt it. That which is yours cannot be robbed from you.” That is the highest form of innocence and thus surpasses, by far, an innocence purely dependent upon idealistic circumstances, untried and untested. The difference between the two extremes is that the lowest innocence is innate, while the highest is recondite and hard to achieve. The whole initiatory process can be explained in Tarot (meaning to give oneself to Light and follow the road to Yeshua). Just as the law of numbers, Tarot is a universal language and can be applied to whatever existence a person may lead.

Mary, who gave birth to Yeshua/Jesus, was a virgin; not in the physical sense, but in terms of spiritual and soul purity. She was chosen for this reason as her innocence matched that of Christ's. She reflected the feminine aspect of God. To bear a child in the womb whose essence comes directly from the highest vibrations of the divine, you must possess the capacity to endure such a vibration. If she did not, she would have suffered heart failure. Light (or the vibration of God) is too grandiose for an average being to tolerate, therefore an angelic mantle covered Jesus' vibration during his mission here on Earth. Jesus' aim was to teach us about gnosis and the achievement of such an innocence; so we may at last forsake this plane (which is the gate to the lower egregores). And he created a path in the invisible that leads directly to the Divine.

The image of the invisible is reflected here with both its negative and positive sides. To mentally, consciously, deliberately and adamantly choose to do good despite circumstances is one definition of progression. Ultimate enlightenment is about the mind, but it is of an understanding that is well beyond the intellect, as the latter perishes upon death. The mental plane is the door to where the highest vibrations occur; much more elevated than any ephemeral, fickle emotion or anything continuously fluctuating in the astral, as I am thoroughly convinced that nothing, and i mean nothing, is stronger than the powers of a luminous will or volition and these stem directly from the mind.

An utopian world would not require the implementation of any laws as we would have achieved an impersonal state where these laws are completely inherent of such a state or such a nature, therefore need not be exerted in any way; and yet, the necessity for their existence would perdure.

"Because, then, a woman prepared death,
an illustrious virgin now subdues it;
and thus the highest blessing
is found in female form,
rather than in any other creature
for God is made human
in a lovely and blessed virgin."
Hildegard Von Bingen
Qui ergo femina mortem instruxit
