Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 The moment you start seeing life as non-serious, a playfulness, all the burden on your heart disappears. All the fear of death, of life, of love - everything disappears. One starts living with a very light weight or almost no weight. So weightless one becomes, one can fly in the open sky. Zen's greatest contribution is to give you an alternative to the serious man. The serious man has made the world, the serious man has made all the religions. He has created all the philosophies, all the cultures, all the moralities; everything that exists around you is a creation of the serious man. Zen has dropped out of the serious world. It has created a world of its own which is very playful, full of laughter, where even great masters behave like children. Osho Nansen: The Point of Departure Chapter 8 Commentary: Life is rarely as serious as we believe it to be, and when we recognize this fact, it responds by giving us more and more opportunities to play. The woman in this card is celebrating the joy of being alive, like a butterfly that has emerged from its chrysalis into the promise of the light. She reminds us of the time when we were children, discovering seashells on the beach or building castles in the sand without any concern that the waves might come and wash them away in the next moment. She knows that life is a game, and she's playing the part of a clown right now with no sense of embarrassment or pretense. When the Page of Fire enters your life, it is a sign that you are ready for the fresh and the new. Something wonderful is just on the horizon, and you have just the right quality of playful innocence and clarity to welcome it with open arms. I just got this card on Osho Zen Tarot cards and thought I share I wish I could post a picture but do not know yet how. I wish us all a beautiful year 2008 full of play and joy and gratitude. May we be like children playing, spreading light, sharing love, smiling and laughing for indeed it feels like something magical is about to happen. With all my Love nad Gratitude. I wish you many Blessings, Ewa ps this is my 4th post so I am done for today hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
