The Celtic Key is a 10-card spread and provides significant amounts of information about an issue or state of being in your life. The Osho Zen Tarot has borrowed it and tweaked it a bit to better fit the spirit of zen.
Being in a flustered state on Friday I had problems formulating a clear intention for the spread so it came out like this: Am I headed in the right direction? Am I following my joy and, if so, where is it taking me? Am I wrong in giving up on law school? Am I worthless? How do I reconnect with joyful source?
It was the last part that resonated most strongly. As is often the case with writing, the first portion is often just clearing the way to clarity. So my intention became:
How do I reconnect with joyful source?
After pulling the 10 cards I made my interpretation, which I am going to share with you because it was so reassuring and filled with love. (Bold words are card titles in the spread.)
The issue is Turning In, making contact with my self, listening to my self, my own Inner Voice, the joyful one - with Friendliness, that is, compassion and kindness. But then I start fighting - struggling against the major shift happening inside of me, the changing paradigm, fighting the potential for pure Consciousness - joyful, undifferentiated intuition and my pull towards it. Fighting my old patterns of Ice-olation and frozen-ness.
But look! The new pattern emerging is The Fool - beautiful, pure trust in the Universe. No longer fighting but embracing. Trusting. After this beautiful bridge in the spread I'm right back to fighting.
Fighting the New Vision I am trying to nurture.
Fighting the Harmony I am attracting as I create myself as The Fool.
Fighting my passion and Intensity, afraid to fully commit.
And fighting The Burden - both the one I carry and the one I am afraid will come with mastery and achieving success.
The point:
I need only one thing - to stop fighting.
And there was my 'Aha!' moment. In other words I need to Go With the Flow or drop the lie.
The Universe loves me and is trying to help me. My old patterns are encouraging me to fight against this help - to be afraid and cynical. Fighting even while I feel the pull towards freedom, joy, and trust.
But the tower is crumbling (Thunderbolt) and there are huge changes underway inside of me. Despite the influence of my family.
How cool is that?!
