I am noticing that people are acting more aloof than usual. I thought it was perhaps that the Olympics are on, or, that they are simply finding the winter long. However, after chatting with some different people, I am finding that most people simply want to be at home, doing reading and writing and meditating. I wondered what was affecting people. When I pulled an Osho Zen tarot card, I had my answer.
This picture comes from the Osho Zen Tarot Deck, and is Card #4 – Turning In
The commentary on this card goes like this:
“The woman in this image has a faint smile on her face. In fact she is just watching the antics of the mind--not judging, not trying to stop them, not identified, just watching as if they were traffic on the road, or ripples on the surface of a pond. And the antics of the mind are slightly amusing, as it jumps up and down and twists this way and that, trying to get your attention and seduce you into the game. To develop the knack of taking a distance from the mind is one of the greatest blessings. It is what meditation is all about really--not chanting a mantra, or repeating an affirmation, but just watching, as if the mind belongs to somebody else. You are ready to take this distance now, and to watch the show without getting caught up in the drama. Indulge yourself in the simple freedom of Turning In whenever you can, and the knack of meditation will grow and deepen in you.”
I believe that most people seem to be on an inward journey. Perhaps this is happening for you, as well. What is your journey about? Send in your comments to judy@angelsandancestors.com.
