Leaving Behind Prior Conditioning - 2/26

Today I am using the Osho Zen Tarot.

XV- CONDITIONING

This card is normally titled The Devil. It's time to take a look in the pond and make a break out of whatever you have been conditioned by others to believe about yourself. Awake the sleeping lion within.

5 OF RAINBOWS (Pentacles) - THE OUTSIDER

You are feeling like an outsider. This is good. This is a transitory period. Now you have to make sure you don't fill yourself with pain and misery. The only way to be connected with existence is to go inward, because at the center you are still and connected. You have been disconnected physically from spirit to learn lessons you could learn no other way.

KNIGHT OF CLOUDS (Swords) - FIGHTING

We are protecting ourselves in an armor but it's truly keeping us from being healed. The buttons represent triggers, if touched will detonate at any second. We are fighting illusions, protecting ourselves from illusions. Stop fighting, trust, and forgive yourself.

4 OF RAINBOWS (Pentacles) - THE MISER

You have walled yourself up in protection and we are clinging to things. Release and allow the universe to give you something better. Learn to share, learn to live in expansive ways.

QUEEN OF WATER (Cups) - RECEPTIVITY

This is all about the feminine receptive quality of water. This represents the perfect harmony of the universe when we are in tune with it. God can reach you only when you are receptive.

XII - NEW VISION 

This is the Hanged Man in the normal tarot. When you open up to the ultimate, it immediately pours into you. You are no longer an ordinary human being, you have transcended. By allowing all of lives colors to penetrate us, we become more integrated.

MY TAKE...

You have become conditioned by the circumstances of your life and have unknowingly restricted yourself from believing many doors in life were closed to you when, in fact, all doors are always open for us. You protected yourself, fighting off what you thought was bad. You held onto everything you gained in fear of loss due to this conditioning. But now you are learning new ways to live, how to be open and receptive to the nurturing things in life and this is creating you anew, re-birthing you in a way. As you open to this new experience of bliss, oneness with the Creator, the ultimate bliss and integration pours into you. You are becoming something new, a child of not Earth, but the Universe.
