I. The Explanation of Seven of Fire Osho Zen Tarot
How many people do you know who, just when they were completely overloaded, with too many projects, too many “balls in the air”, have suddenly come down with the flu, or taken a fall and ended up on crutches? That’s just the sort of “bad timing” the little monkey with the pin in his hand is about to impose on the “one-man-band” pictured here!
The level of stress is shown on Seven of fire Osho Zen visits all of us at times, but perfectionists are particularly vulnerable to it. We create it ourselves, with the thought that without us nothing succeeds – especially the way we want!
Oh, what makes you think you’re so special? Are you thinking: the sun will not rise in the morning if you do not set an alarm? Take a walk, buy some flowers, and cook your own dinner with spaghetti – anything “unimportant” will do. Just put yourself out of that monkey’s reach!
II. The Energy of Seven of Fire Osho Zen Tarot Based on Osho’s Teachings
All private goals are neurotic. The essential man comes to know, to feel, “I am not separate from the whole, and there is no need to seek and search for any destiny on my own. Things are happening, the world is moving – call it God…he is doing things. They are happening of their own accord. There is no need for me to make any struggle, any effort; there is no need for me to fight for anything.
I can relax and be.” The essential man is not a doer. The accidental man is a doer. The accidental man is, of course, then in anxiety, tension, stress, anguish, continuously sitting on a volcano. It can erupt any moment, because he lives in a world of uncertainty and believes as if it is certain. This creates tension in his being: he knows deep down that nothing is certain.
