Summary:
The plot is based around a common tale which is often retold through myth, religion and esoteric traditions The main idea being that everything or God or ‘Godhead’ (Kornblatt, J 1991 p212) are one being However through reflection and a desire to know the self , everything has divided itself up, consequently creating a world of illusions and dreams (Samsara as it is known in Vedic traditions) Carl Jung explored this idea in his work and tied it closely with themes of alchemy, referring to the process as the ‘hierosgamos’ (Jung, C 2010 p37) Jung also identified parts of the self as archetypes, which needed to be integrated for self realisation In Vedic tradition it is implied that this journey or cycle, is one of self remembering, everything has forgotten that it is the almighty In the Tarot system we see a similar story being told, whereby different archetypes are explored in the form of twenty two cards The fool being one of those archetypes who ‘innocently yet somehow quite knowingly embarks upon the quest for self knowledge’ (Nichols, S 1980) The main character of this tale is the fool In Gnosticism a variety of deities also represent these archetypal parts of mind
