The figure in this card is naked, vulnerable, open to the loving touch of existence, The aura around his body i full of light, and the quality of relaxation, caring and love that surrounds him is dissolving his struggle and suffering.

Be aware of your wound. Don't help it to grow, let it be healed; and it will be healed only when you move to the roots, The less the head, the more the wound will heal; with no head there is no wound. Live a headless life. Move as a total being, and accept things. Just for twenty-four hours, try it — total acceptance, whatsoever happens, Someone insults you, accept it, don’t react, and see what happens.

And when we take trust tothe level of the quantum leap, we don’t make any elaborate plans or preparations.

If you are uncontrolled, lowing, alive, then you are not nervous, There is no question of being nervous — whatsoever happens, happens. You have no expectations for the future, you are not per: forming. Then why should you be nervous? To control that mind one has to remain so cold and frozen that no life energy is allowed to move into your limbs, into your body. If energy is allowed to move, those repressions will surface. ‘That's why people have learned how to be cold, how to touch others and yet not touch them, how to see peo ple and yet not see them. People live with clichés ~ “Hallo, How are your” Nobody means anything, These are just to avoid the real encounter of two persons, People don’t look into each other's eyes, they don’t hold hands, they don’t try to feel each other's energy, they don’t allow each other to pour — very afraid, somehow just ‘managing, cold and dead, in a straitjacket.” THE TRANSCENDENTAL GAME OF ZEN # 6566 + OSHO ZEN TAROT MMENTARY has restricted al M he juice and energy of life rhe really has become ‘a dried u confines of her mind.

But once your morality has come out of your awareness, not ‘out of a certain discipline, then it isa totally different matter. Then you will respond in every situation + ‘out of your awareness. And whatever you do will be good, Awareness cannot do anything that is bad. That is the ultimate beauty of awareness, that an thing that comes out of its simply beautiful, is simply right, and without any effort and without any practice. So rather than cutting the leaves and the branches, cut the root. And to cut the root there is no other ‘method than a single method: the method of being alert, of being aware, of being conscious."

Only a whole person is a holy person, according to me, I want Zorba and Buddha to meet together. Zorba alone is hollow, His dance has not an eternal signif cance, it is momentary pleasure.
