Zen Tarot Card

Friendliness


First meditate, be blissful, then much love will happen of its own accord. Then being with others is beautiful and being alone is also beautiful. Then it is simple, too. You don't depend on others and you don't make others dependent on you. Then it is always a friendship, a friendliness. It never becomes a relationship, it is always a relatedness. You relate, but you don't create a marriage. Marriage is out of fear, relatedness is out of love. You relate; as long as things are moving beautifully, you share. And if you see that the moment has come to depart because your paths separate at this crossroad, you say good-bye with great gratitude for all that the other has been to you, for all the joys and all the pleasures and all the beautiful moments that you have shared with the other. With no misery, with no pain, you simply separate.



Osho The White Lotus Chapter 10




Commentary:


The branches of these two flowering trees are intertwined, and
their fallen petals blend together on the ground in their beautiful
colors. It is as if heaven and earth are bridged by love. But they
stand individually, each rooted in the soil in their own connection
with the earth. In this way they represent the essence of true friends,
mature, easy with each other, natural. There is no urgency about their
connection, no neediness, no desire to change the other into something
else. This card indicates a readiness to enter this quality of
friendliness. In the passage, you may notice that you are no longer
interested in all kinds of dramas and romances that other people are
engaged in. It is not a loss. It is the birth of a higher, more loving
quality born of the fullness of experience. It is the birth of a love
that is truly unconditional, without expectations or demands.


 


TAURUS


Are you being followed.? Are you under some kind of weird
surveillance by people who are after you? Take it easy.
if
you remain spiritually and ethically correct, neither your paranoid
fantasies nor your secret enemies will succeed in wiping you out. The
trick is to do the work annd don't pull any fast ones.



GEMINi


Your usntoppable desire to enjoy your new-found
independence has to fill you with a zeal you haven't felt in years.
Don't let anything move you backwards to a place you once thought you'd
never get away from . It's a little ironic, however, that as much as
you want to be totally and completely free and on your own, you have
needs, wishes and obligations of a more personal nature. They need
nurturing, too.

tension?



the socialization of primitive instincts


That's what it means when
Mars in Aries opposes Saturn in Libra


We can't go around eating each other
when we are hungry
which is just what it amounts to
when you're professionally or personally frustrated or emotionally
starving and you feel like taking out your frustrations

on the first poor jerk who passes by


or co-workers or loved ones.


If we did't have social conventions
we would go around devourinng each other
on the other hand
if we didn't keep our primitive instincts


alive and fresh
we would never take iintiative
be able to survive crisis
or
to survive or move ahead.



So does that mea you have to kiss
the most obnoxious person you know ?


Not necessarioy.


Just be polite


even if you're pissed.
