As I Leave Ohio I Draw This Card

Osho Zen Tarot

39. Possibilities



Zen Tarot Card
Possibilities

Mind can accept any boundary anywhere. But the reality is that, by its very nature, existence cannot have any boundary, because what will be beyond the boundary? - again another sky.

That's why I am saying skies upon skies are available for your flight. Don't be content easily. Those who remain content easily remain small: small are their joys, small are their ecstasies, small are their silences, small is their being. But there is no need! This smallness is your own imposition upon your freedom, upon your unlimited possibilities, upon your unlimited potential.


Commentary:

The eagle has an overview of all the possibilities contained in the landscape below, as he flies freely, naturally and effortlessly through the sky. He is really in his domain, very grand and self-contained.

This card indicates that you are at a point where a world of possibilities is open to you. Because you have grown more loving towards yourself, more self-contained, you can work easily with others. Because you are relaxed and at ease, you can recognize possibilities as they present themselves, sometimes even before others can see them. Because you are in tune with your own nature, you understand that existence is providing you with exactly what you need.

Enjoy the flight! And celebrate all the varied wonders of the landscape spread before you.

Pretty cool. We were talking about this sort of thing last night, concerning those we know who are seemingly content in what we consider a smaller area of awareness.
It's all cool. Remember it's the journey, not the goal that usually brings us what we need.
Have a safe trip. It was great having you around Ohio again.
I was going to bring this up but forgot. Around the time we were involved in the stained glass incident, we were also discussing religion, if you remember. At the time , membership in the Church of Christ was required to stay out of hell. (your position) Mine was that only belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God was required.
The point is that we were around seven or eight years old. Fifty years later we have made great progress I think. Still discussing matters beyond most of our peers.
