I. The Explanation of Five of Rainbows Osho Zen Tarot
The child in Five of Rainbows Osho Zen is standing on one side of the gate, looking through it. He is so small and so convinced that he cannot get through, he cannot see that the chain holding the gate is not locked; all he has to do is open it.
Whenever we feel “left out”, or excluded, it brings up this feeling of being a small, helpless child. It is not surprising, as if there is a feeling of being rooted in the childhood experience, repeating it over and over, like a tape in our lives. You have the opportunity to stop that tape, stop torturing yourself with the idea that you are somehow not ‘enough’ to be accepted and included. Recognize the core of this feeling in the past, and let the old pain pass. It will bring you the clarity to see how to open the gate and enter that which you most long to become.
II. The Energy of Five of Rainbows Osho Zen Tarot Based on Osho’s Teachings
So you are feeling yourself an outsider. This is good. This is the transitory period. Now you have to be alert not to fill yourself with pain and misery. Now that God is no longer there, who is going to console you? You don’t need any consolation. Humanity has come of age. Be a man, be a woman, and stand on your own feet…
The only way to be connected with existence is to go inwards, because there at the center you are still connected. You have been disconnected physically from your mother. That disconnection was absolutely necessary to make you an individual in your own right. But you are not disconnected from the universe.
Your connection with the universe is of consciousness. You cannot see it, so you have to go deep down with great awareness, watchfulness, witnessing, and you will find the connection. The buddha is the connection!
