Hi Roy,

i had a bit hard time tuning into you, as there is no picture of you on here, at least not public, if this reading doesn't apply, please sent a pic and i'll do another one!

Your card: Guidance
Osho Zen


You just look around, look into the eyes of a child, or into the eyes of a beloved, your mother your friend - or just feel a tree!
Have you ever hugged a tree? Hug a tree, and one day you will come to know that it is not only that you have hugged that tree but that the tree also responds. the tree hugs You. Then for the first time you will be able to know that the tree isn't just the form, it is not just a certain species the botanists talk about, it is an unknown God - so green in your courtyard, so close to you, beckoning you, calling you again and again.

*Nature doesn't bang any drums when it bursts forth into flower, nor play any dirges when the trees let go of their leaves in the fall. But when we approach her in the right spirit, she has many secrets to share. If you havn't heard nature whispering to you lately, now is a good time to give her the opportunity! ;)

love&blessings

Hi Linda :)


here is what i found for you....i used The TAO Oracle!

#2 The Receptive

The receptive is yielding and passive. It's the sign of devotion, the yin principle that complements and balances The Creative, the yang principle. Her symbols are earth, the cow, in contrast to the dragon of heaven. together they comprise a complete cosmology - out of which life is brought into being and into which it returns at death. in human life, the most obvious manifestation of yin and yang is the relationship between female and male. however, the interdependence of these principles is also present in relationships between parent and child, teacher and student, guru and disciple - and within each of us, in the apparent duality of our sensory, physical experience of life, and the more subtle spiritual experiences, or the body and the soul of being.
Receptivity is dependant on the dynamic spark of creative inspiration to be activated into productivity, just as creativity is dependent on , and nourished by, the fertile ground of emptiness. when the receptive complements the The Creative, it functions as a womb, an empty canvas on which an infinite variety of creations can be made manifest. This image is best represented as Mother Nature in that she nurtures and supports all living things, generously bestowing form and beauty.
Receptivity is a fine balance: it is docile, open, nurturing while being intensely devoted and strong enough to persevere through even the most difficult of times. When this yin principle is in a negative manifestation it envies, complains, and competes for authority, generating chaos and dissolution. or else, like a couch potato, does nothing but wallow in passivity and indolence expecting everything whim to be catered to.
The strenght of receptivity is in its depth, its infinte capacity to absorb and support action. Just like the darkness of space which sustains all matter, it's a reminder that this isn't the moment to act impulsively but to take time, give space, and consider the far-reaching effects of any action that might be taken. If you push now, hoever resolute you may feel, you are steering away from your goal, toward confusion and difficulty, and it is more than likely many others will be dragged along with you. waiting doesn't mean weakness, or uncertainty; rather, by recognizing that for now your energies are best placed supporting others, you are not only acting intelligently but with sensetivity. Once you put the full weight of your support behind anyone or anything, they can't help but be strengthened by it. Any enticements toward making your own power plays or claiming your share of the limelight would be untimely. The power of your presence is bolstered by your total devotion to what you intuit is the wise way to go. Knowing clearly where and with whom to invest your energies will require a cool, detached perspective. Carefully considering others' objectives will help you support plans that ring true for you.
Lao-Tzu referred to the Tao as the Divine Mother that in her absolute empiness is eternally birthing all things and the cosmos itself. the essence of emptiness is present within each of us. and like a blank slate receives whatever we write upon it. The dark vast qualities of yin are indeed great, and to appreciate its support is to be humbled in gratitude.

love&blessings to you Linda
may you find peacefullness soon!

The Dream
Osho Zen

This has been said again and again, down through the ages. all the religious people have been saying this:"WE come alone into this world, we go alone!" All togetherness is illusory. The very idea of togetherness arises because we are alone, and the aloneness hurts. WE want to drown our aloneness in relationship....
That's why we become so much involved in love. try to see the point. Ordinarily you think you have fallen in love with a woman or with a man because she is beautyful, he is beautiful. That is not the truth. the truth is just the opposite: you have fallen in love because you cannot be alone. You were going to fall. You were going to avoid yourself somehow or other. and there are people who don't fall in love with women or men - then they fall in love with money. they start moving into money or a power trip, they become politicians. That too is avoiding your aloneness. If you watch man, if you watch yourself deeply, you will be surprised - all your activities can be reduced to one single source. The source is that you are afraid of your aloneness. Everything else is just an excuse. The real cause is that you find yourself very alone.

* Nobody, whether it's your current mate or some dreamed-of partner in the future, has any obligation to deliver your happiness on a platter - nor could they even if they wanted to. real love comes not from trying to solve your neediness by depending on another, but by developing our own richness and maturity. Then we have so much love to give that we naturally draw lovers towards us.*

love&blessings to you!
Sue
