Change and Awareness
Once again, I got “X Change” from the Osho
Zen Tarot as my card of the day. This card has been popping up a lot for me the last
couple of days.
In this depiction we see a large spinning wheel filled with all
kinds of universal symbolism.
“It has often been said that the only
unchanging thing in the world is change itself. Life is continuously changing,
evolving, dying and being reborn. If you cling to the edge of the wheel you can
get dizzy! Move toward the center of the cyclone and relax, knowing that this
too will pass.”
When I asked my cards what would be a
helpful attitude towards Change, I pulled “VII Awareness”, where we see the face
of a childlike Buddha looking trough the veil of
illusion, which is torn away by awareness. This awareness, which is growing softly
inside each of us, is getting stronger and more confident each day without strive or struggle on our part. It teaches us to behave like a
witness and to respond to a situation instead of reacting instinctively to every
change presented to us.
This attitude will let us observe the changes
without being overwhelmed by them.
