On the Rider-Waite Tarot, a nude woman dances in the sky. In each hand she holds a wand, perhaps showing that she has mastered the “magical” works of Spirit, and can use them at will. A green, living wreath surrounds her, a reminder of the livingness of the Universe and everything in it. Across her left shoulder and crossing her body at the midriff, hiding her sexuality, is a long scarf. According to some Tarot mythology, this scarf covers the fact that she is a hermaphrodite, a being of neither sex or both sexes, depending upon how one looks at it.
At the corners of the card are variations of the same creatures we saw on The Wheel of Fortune; a human, an eagle, a lion and a bull, representing Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Great freedom is symbolized in this card, the freedom of spiritual attainment.
This is what we have been striving toward through all our visits on this Earth Plane, spiritual at-one-ment with The Universe, The One Great Whole, Universal Mind, God. The World symbolizes the final accomplishment of all our spiritual goals.
This may or may not be the final end of our final visit, here. We may decide that the lessons that Earth has to teach us have been learned and there is no further point in returning. We may decide to do it again to learn a new set of lessons on the earth plane. Whatever decisions are made at this juncture, we make them ourselves, they are not made for us. But, for a little while at least, we have the opportunity to feel our one-ness with The All.
At this point, if we decide to return for another class, we again become The Fool, entering this life without the memory of what we have experienced on the Spirit Plane. After all, if we brought that memory with us, how could we take this life seriously, how could we even begin to learn the lessons we set before ourselves.
So, at this point, we either finish our lessons and “graduate,” or we pass on to the next grade and do it all again. Either way, we have the opportunity to at least temporarily remember what’s it is really all about.
When I meditate on The World, it reminds me that I am, indeed, here for a reason and, sooner or later I will re-learn what that reason is. In the meanwhile, I will keep striving to learn and grow, as I was meant to do, until I return to The Source.
