The last being first, the condition of Zero has significance. Zero in myth (Chylde) the slayer of giants being practically destitute in the example of Oswold. Zero's Wold-World-forest is filled with death as endings and beginnings/...
...in the Spiritual world Zero denies himself and let's the First lead.

(Make sure you have some grains of salt and preferably some good weed to take with this post...)
On 0 being Aleph, The Fool, "The path of the fiery intelligence". The Hermetic Qabalah says: "0 is symbolic of the life breath, before any restrictions of force or form. It precedes all processes and remains when all is completed. It is simply (unless pointed) the sound of a sigh-"ahhh" Wikipedia says: "In most Hebrew dialects as well as Syriac, the aleph is an absence of a true consonant, a glottal stop (the glottal stop being the sound found in the catch in uh-oh.)"
So we have this perpetual sound/state, this base of 'something' that many cultures call OM (as a side note, my favourite OM being the Tamilscript version which looks like a little skull with a crescent moon eye, IMO.) There is no reference point to indicate a definite stopping or starting, or if you prefer, this IS the reference point. But it isn't something, nor is it truly nothing (ayn).
The 1 then, is Beth, The Magician, "The transparent intelligence". Again, from wikipedia, on the pronounciation of this sound: "The voiced bilabial plosive or stop is a type of consonantal sound used in many spoken languages."

So we have the Fool, this prescence of unbridled energy ready to be pointed or in this instance the endless AHHH, the zero, then we have the Magician- the thing that puts the AHHH into context and brings form in the shape of the plosive stop to that perpetual syllable. The first 2 stops on the Tree of Life.
In the Tree of Life, Aleph (Chokmah) and Beth (Binah) are 2 of the 3 Supernals and signify the path that allows for energy to flow from Kether (the Crown Sephirot, the Divine, the All Encompassing, the Primal Point inferring authority derived from above/before) ultimately toward Malkuth (the Kingdom, Earth, physical plane, that which "governs the simple fact of existence in the physical world")
Note here that (Hermetic Qabalah)
"Kether is also assigned the title of 'beginning of the whirlings'. It specifies BEGINNING, which is the initiation of the whirlings, not the whirlings themselves."
 So there is the space that allows for potential (ayn sof, the limitless, Kether, I suppose the 'Stage' the major arcana is played out on), the unrestricted/ unrefined potential that is born of that (0, the Fool, Chokmah, Wisdom) and the way/ start of refinement (1, the Magician, Binah, Understanding). 1 implies 0, yes, but even 0 depends on something- that being the 'place' for polarity to exist.
Note that Kether is central, and above all else, wheras Chokmah is situated at the top of the 'Pillar of Mercy' and Binah atop the 'Pillar of Severity'. This is why in the macro sense of Western Magic (and in the micro sense, specifically middle pillar ritual) we aim to invoke the energy of Kether and actively try to embody a balance of the sephirot on each pillar in order to complete 'the great work', also where the "Transparant Intelligence" of the magician comes in:
"A perfected personality lets the light of Truth and of the Superconsciousness pass through with as little distortion as possible. Most individuals, even though they are of good intent, tend to be translucent, meaning, they unintentionally 'colour' or 'distort' the wisdom of the higher. Individuals that are opaque are as rare as thoses who are transparant. These individuals have cut off their connection with their Higher Self"

It's an interesting dynamic to consider, 0's and 1's, not to mention the stage that allows them to be what they are.
"Kether is in Malkuth and Malkuth in Kether."

The Fool again, limitless (albeit unguided) potential. Ignorance is bliss is ignorance is bliss is ignorance is bliss is... ∞

How gracious for zero to 'let' the first lead. Afterall, trying to exist as a human- if nothing else- builds character.

"Śūnyatā" (Sanskrit) is usually translated as "devoidness", "emptiness", "hollow", "hollowness", "voidness". It is the noun form of the adjective śūnya, plus -tā:
śūnya, in the context of buddha dharma, primarily means "empty", or "void," but also means "zero," and "nothing," and derives from the root śvi, meaning "hollow"
-tā is a suffix denoting a quality or state of being, equivalent to English "-ness"
The void contains the whole universe.

Now that my friend is a theory I'm down with. Then again I just choked chewed up shroom bits into my sinuses so who am I to be cosigning any ideas

There's something going on with it. I was thinking dividing by zero blows up to infinity, yet there are infinite infinities of differing cardinalities, and the dimensions including imaginary, and power (sets.) In what medium are you riding, dimension?

A random thing, considering this statement-
One in bliss does not consider life problematic.
In doing so, even if in say, a chemical depression with all the decorations (mental additions), or any dukkha - in saying and weighing that statement, it goes to the bliss regardless. Does this happen w anyone else?
