  9. Consciously entering The Great Dance Purposes of Tarot: • Becoming a Conscious participant in the Great Dance: Know Thyself • Experiencing everything as correspondences: As Above, So Below (Hierophantic Nature) • Combined with the Prayer of the Heart, very powerful tool for Inner Self to unite to the Divine Cosmic Rhythm • As a conscious participant in the Great Dance, become a worker for the Reintegration (Tikun Olam, Apocatastasis) which is its goal.
