Life is Not an Accident!

    

    "Existence" - a card from the Osho Transformational Tarot deck.

  

    The meaning of the card begins with, " You are not accidental. Existence needs you. Without you something will be missing in existence and nobody can replace it."

The first time I pulled this card in a reading, I was very early in the process of working full time and developing our company, Angels And Ancestors. The card came up as the first card in response to my question "Should I be working full time in Angels And Ancestors".  The question came up after being out of the corporate world for five months; being in a start up phase of a new business; and being concerned that I had made a HUGE mistake in leaving my position with Microsoft. 

     When this card popped up, it was so beautiful that I just felt awe!  It captured the moments I have when I am sitting out on a planet or star in the dimensions beyond in dream time, watching the universe go by.  I read the phrase - you are not accidental - and I knew this to be true.  Where we, everyone of us, is now, is because we are there for a purpose.  Life is not an accident. It is filled with glorious moments of synchronicities that have us meet certain people; get jobs that are the "dream job" that we have always wanted; and, have us feel tragedies that we feel drag us down that transform in to opportunities of great joy. 

I felt like a gold thread in a tapestry.  If I did not go in the direction the weaver wanted, or if I broke, as a thread sometimes will, then the tapestry would be less without the gold thread in it.  I could "see" the weaving of The Divine in moving me out of my corporate position, and having me begin a new venture, become an entrepreneur, and perhaps be that shiny gold thread example of light for others. 

As I look back on that time, and the card "Existence", and the fact that Angels And Ancestors will be celebrating two years in a short time, I realize again that truth, "Life is Not An Accident".  I am grateful that I am part of a big, mysterious design.
