Tarot Discussion – Osho Zen Tarot Card “Awareness”

 

Picture of the Osho Zen tarot card #7 – Awareness

 

 

Each day when I sit down to do my meditation, I ask for a word of the day to describe what will be important to me.  Today, Friday, I decided to ask, “What word will be important for all mankind for the weekend?” 

I was surprised at the answer.  Awareness!  Of course this makes perfect sense.  Part of the commentary on this card is…

This mind gives you a sort of stupor. Burdened by the memories of the past, burdened by the projections of the future, you go on living - at the minimum. You don't live at the maximum. Your flame remains very dim. – Osho

Many of the clients that I see now are in a process of what I call “awakening”.  They are dis-satisfied with -the job, the employer, the relationship, the political state.  They are awakening to a new sense of responsibility and/or spirituality.  Perhaps now I will call this state “awareness”.

Our Ancestors had a high level of awareness of the environment around them.  They needed to, otherwise they might die.  What is interesting is that in our fast pace of life, many of us have become numb to our surroundings.  We are so caught up in our details that we are oblivious to the bigger picture.  We miss seeing that a new power line is going to be put in close to our home and to a school.  We do not notice that personal freedoms are quietly being written out of our rights by the politicians and the lobby groups that will benefit from more control of the populace.  We do not question why it is that drugs can be put on the market with a third of the testing then was required by law five years ago.

Because we have gone into a stupor, we allowed financial companies to dupe us about no down payment mortgages.  We allowed incompetent, greedy car manufacturer executives to convince us and the government that they required our money to bail them out.  And then they paid them selves bonuses.

Yes, we do need to be more aware!
