I. The Explanation of Ten of Fire Osho Zen Tarot
The figure in Ten of Fire Osho Zen is almost tied up in knots. The light was emanating from him, but he has repressed his vitality trying to meet a lot of demands and requirements. He gave up his own power and vision, only because of the desire to be accepted by the resources that imprisoned him. Suppressing one’s natural energy is extremely dangerous. This danger has become obvious when we see cracks of an intense eruption, which is about to take place around the edge of the picture.
The real message of the card is to seek a healing outlet for this potential explosion. Finding a way out is essential, even though stress and pressure are building up in you right now. Punch a pillow, jump up and down, go out into the wilderness and scream at the empty sky – anything to shake up your energy and allow it to circulate freely. Don’t wait for a catastrophe to occur.
II. The Energy of Ten of Fire Osho Zen Tarot Based on Osho’s Teachings
In Sanskrit, the name is Alaya Vigyan, the house where you go on throwing into the basement things that you want to do but you cannot, because of social conditions, culture, civilization. But they go on collecting there, and they affect your actions, your life, very indirectly. Directly, they cannot face you – you have forced them into darkness, but from the dark side they go on influencing your behavior.
They are dangerous, it is dangerous to keep all those inhibitions inside you. It is possible that these are the things that come to a climax when a person goes insane. Insanity is nothing but all these suppressions coming to a point where you cannot control them anymore. But madness is acceptable, while meditation is not – and meditation is the only way to make you absolutely sane.
