This was the question that I posed to the OSHO Zen Tarot Deck. Here is the response.
The issue: “There was no danger for the seed, the seed could have survived for millennia, but for the sprout many are the dangers. But the sprout starts towards the unknown, towards the sun, towards the source of light, not knowing where, not knowing why. Great is the cross to be carried, but a dream possesses the seed and the seed moves.
The same is the path for man. It is arduous. Much courage will be needed."
The unseen internal influence: “It might make some people uncomfortable, accustomed as they are to all the noise and activity of the world. Never mind; seek out those who can resonate with your silence - or enjoy your aloneness. Now is the time to come home to yourself. The understanding and insights that come to you in these moments will be manifested later on, in a more outgoing phase of your life.”
Awareness of an external influence:”In the beginning is nature, in the end is nature, so why in the middle do you make so much fuss? Why, in the middle, becoming so worried, so anxious, so ambitious - why create such despair? Nothingness to nothingness is the whole journey.”
What is needed for resolution: “The figure on this card is being born anew, emerging from his earthbound roots and growing wings to fly into the unbounded. The geometric shapes around the body of the figure show the many dimensions of life simultaneously available to him. The square represents the physical, the manifest, the known. The circle represents the unmanifest, the spirit, pure space. And the triangle symbolizes the threefold nature of the universe: manifest, unmanifest, and the human being who contains both.”
The final outcome: “The enlightened man is the greatest stranger in the world; he does not seem to belong to anybody. No organization confines him, no community, no society, no nation…… The Rebel challenges us to be courageous enough to take responsibility for who we are and to live our truth.”
What is the message? I think it will be slightly different to each of us because of our perceptions. For me, the process that we will all go through in February begins with courage and ends with courage. It is a journey of moving from being one of the flock of sheep, following blindly behind the pronouncements of big business and government, to being truly awake – enlightened.
I would love to hear your view of these cards.
