The Tarot Card: Understanding
There are 4 elements. Various traditions may give them their own names and labels. Here I will refer to them as Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. We need each of them to balance our selves and to live in a peaceful state. This is a scientific fact.
Look at the UNDERSTANDING card, you may think it is the element of AIR because, after all, birds fly in the air. In this case, we are in the energy of the WATER element: emotions and the color blue. The water element is the energy of emotion and the image in the card of UNDERSTANDING by Osho Zen Tarot is an emotional depiction. We see emotions caused by release, choice, illusion, hope, caring and so much more.
Release the need to understand everything and don’t limit your self to the ‘whys’ of life. The realization is that you have a choice to leave the confines you have allowed to hold you back. Illusions can seem real if we stay within the cage of our minds. Hope can be received and given. Caring is a huge step into emotional joy.
Do you feel the need to understand everything life brings your way? When it comes to life, the need to know why things happen is a sure path to unhappiness and suffering. We do know that everything is impermanent and change will happen.
There are things that cannot be taken away from you. These have to do with your memories; your nature; your ability to choose how you will react to the change.
At this time, choose to appreciate what cannot be taken away.
