The Ascent from Not
All
Key 1 is the first Key used to build the Reality we must establish to address the questions of Who we are and What Reality is. Key 0 (Not) showed us that All must exist. But now, All shows us that existence is a mandate. There is no choice. All will always exist and cannot cease to exist. As such, this card also represents the eternal immortality of everything in existence.
Ascent I
All
This is the chaotic Scattering of All which we find underneath all energy, all structures and all forms which have existed, may exist now or will ever exist. This Scattering of orange Warmth, yellow Light, red Activity and green Presence represents another absolute: pure and perfect chaos. This is the same chaos that erupted from the Big Bang. This is the chaos which exists beneath the frenetic boiling quantum foam described by Quantum Field Theory. This is the chaos which underlies the order we see in Key 2 (Form). In the top-left corner of the image in this card is one of the AON symbols for All which depicts an other-worldly landscape. All is a universal axiom and one of the layers of the deep Well of the Self.
This card represents everything which was removed to reveal the absolute basis for Actuality we see in the Not card (Key 0). This is the All card. This card represents everything which isn't Not. To reveal Not, we had to remove Warmth, Light, Activity and Presence. And the Metaphysics of Not shows us that it is Warmth, Light, Activity and Presence which everything is made from. Warmth, Light, Activity and Presence are the fundamental building blocks of all of existence. Above the floor of Actuality we see in Key 0, Reality itself (no matter how deep we look) is comprised of Warmth, Light, Activity and Presence. The planets, the stars, people, trees, animals, rocks, micro-organisms, nanites, molecules and that which exists far "beneath" the superstring are all comprised of the Scattering of Warmth, Light, Activity and Presence.

All
All
Absolute. Eternal. Infinite.
This is the initial Big Bang of Reality itself. Everything that ever was, everything that is and everything that will ever become begins here. In the Not Tarot, the upright reading of this card may be interpreted as “origin.” Like the Ouroboros, Key 1 (All) as the origin, connects us to Key 25 (Beginning). But while Key 25 has us ready to begin, the origin referenced here in Key 1 is more like “the Source.”
