Where art thou Job?

The rose belongs to the apple family. The Tarot cards has been titled ‘The Fool’s Journey’. The roses, and a little dog, accompany the Fool, who is homeless, and hungry – not for food – but, for knowledge of the world. He is Foolish Mundi. Steve Job died today. His journey is at an end. But, where art thou? This was the first question God asked Adam and Eve in the Garden. They had become invisible to God after eating from the Tree of Good and Evil knowledge. The first APPLICATION of their knowledge was to hide the truth from THE TRUTH. Being made in HIS IMAGE, they are no longer in the light, no longer beings – of the light. They are covert. They are – liars! They, are not culpable. However, they have taken the first step in knowing, God is THE WORD.

The bite out of the apple is one of the world’s most archetypal images, that contains a infinite message. The rose is also an archetypal image. A personal computer can be seen as one’s own bite from the Tree of knowledge. We bought our first computer so we could knowledge. We can never put the knowledge we took to the source. We can however, take another bite. But, we must remain hungry – and all so foolish! I Mr. Job speak of the Whole Earth Catalogue, that was liken to a Bible for Foolish Hippies who kept stepping off one cliff after another – into the abyss, into the unknown. We took the road less traveled, and the road where not road had gone before. We had question. We born a billion questions into the world. Do we really care for all those answers?

Where art thou Job? What great question have thy found? Speak to us, from that empty space, from that – bite!

You have been a beloved companion on that road, the road of the Youth. The road of the Perfect Fool, who beheld the Grail.

Steve Jobs compared The Whole Earth Catalog to Internet search engine Google in his June 2005 Stanford University commencement speech. “When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation…. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along. It was idealistic and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.” During the commencement speech, Jobs also quoted the farewell message placed on the back cover of the 1974 edition of the catalog: “Stay hungry, stay foolish.”[4] The Whole Earth Catalog was an American counterculture catalog published by Stewart Brand between 1968 and 1972, and occasionally thereafter, until 1998. Although the WECs listed all sorts of products for sale (clothing, books, tools, machines, seeds – things useful for a creative or self-sustainable lifestyle) the Whole Earth Catalogs themselves did not sell any of the products. Instead the vendors and their prices were listed right alongside with the items. This led to a need for the Catalogs to be frequently updated

“The Grail plays a different role everywhere it appears, but in most
versions of the legend the hero must prove himself worthy to be in its presence. In the early tales, Percival’s immaturity prevents him from fulfilling his destiny when he first encounters the Grail, and he must grow spiritually and mentally before he can locate it again. In later tellings the Grail is a symbol of God’s grace, available to all but only fully realized by those who prepare themselves spiritually, like the saintly Galahad.” The Holy Grail first appears as simply “a grail” in the works of Chrétien de Troyes. The word is probably derived from the Old French word graal meaning a “broad and capacious dish or salver”. Though usually thought of as being a cup or chalice, the Grail has indeed been variously described as a platter, dish, a cornucopia, horn of plenty or even a book or a stone.”

True Freedom will feed the World!

The Fool is about those positive forces with us which influence us in
our choices – trust, belief in the ultimate goodness of creation,
ideals – the ‘hope of a bright tomorrrow.’

“The American people should appreciate that Superman is the Barack
Obama’s role model. Thank God, it is not Bogeyman or Binky Brown, for
instance. However, can anyone imagine George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan having a role
model from a comic book? Frankly, I cannot.” – Boris Tiraspolsky

In societies where freedom of speech was not recognized as a right,
the court jester – precisely because anything he said was by
definition “a jest” and “the uttering of a fool” – could speak frankly on controversial issues[3] in a way in which anyone else would have been severely punished for, and monarchs understood the
usefulness of having such a person at their side.[4] Still, even the jester was not entirely immune from punishment, and he needed to walk a thin line and exercise careful judgment in how far he might go – which required him to be far from a “fool” in the modern sense. The Fool represents the “everyperson” – the essence of us all
embarking on the journey of life, self-discovery and mastery. He is the innocent, the whimsical, the “inner child” mixed with the “inner sage” that lives down deep inside of us all. He faces life and his journey unafraid, trusting, the perfect example of total and utter faith that all will be well, that every experience has a deep essential meaning. He trapses along the crags of life, regardless of any hidden peril or disappointment, his eyes are turned to the heavens and he knows that he will be kept safe and whole along his
travels. Key words associated with the Fool are new beginnings,
important decisions and optimism. Because the Fool is trusting and open to all experiences, he provides the perfect role model as we too embark on our life journey. The Fool
coaxes us to walk our own path, not the path of the “herd”. To trust
our own inner voice, our intuition and our inner knowing and to embark on our life course with faith and a stout heart. We need trust, faith in the goodness of life and people, and an undying belief that all will work out exactly as it should. The Fool is the ultimate “Free Spirit” – this card represents the self-actualized person, free from societal constraints, someone who is able to let go of outmoded beliefs and ideals with the courage to pursue their own special path. Parsifal and the Jedi Warriors Many writers are comparing the Star War epics to the story of Parsival ‘The Pure Fool’ who is the original owner of ‘The Force’ as Parsifal uses his almost ‘Divine Intuition’. As a follower of Meher
Baba “compasionate father” I too tried to rely on my intuition as it was The Gift Baba brought to replace all those religious words that missed The Mark. In 1970, I used to wear a black Bobbies cape with high boots. The Five of Cups was my card. I used to tell people I was Balder guarding the Rainbow Bridge from profane trespassers, and, I am Strider about to throw off my cloak of invisibility. Some people say I am the new Joseph Cambell, a Mythmeister who lives his study.
