Go ahead and jump ...

My morning moved quickly and time offered no favors. I wanted to gather in a quick lesson or at least a small shift in my perspective before heading to work. I decided to read from a book that I recently received by fluke.

I had placed an order on Amazon for a different book. I placed the order, a book seller had it. Amazon took my money. The book shipped. Then a process started ... book - no book - order another - no book - order another - we don’t have it - we'll refund your money - order another book and on and on. I was receiving emails from two different people from the same company and I was the one trying to get them on the same page over the same book (transaction).

I finally found "The Osho Zen Tarot Book and Card Deck" set listed by this seller. I had just become aware of this set a few days prior. They had it “used” at about half the cost of new. I ordered it. I received an email that this had been shipped. An email followed stating they didn’t have this set and they would refund my money. Amazon let me know that they refunded my money.

The next day a package arrived in my mail. It was the book half only of The Osho Zen Tarot set. I initially wondered what I would do with the book and no cards. It turns out the book is the better half of the set. Cards with no book would be mysterious. The book with no cards is insightful. I read the introduction and the story of how this book and deck of cards came to be. It was a good read.

((((( .......... I opened circle last night before sleeping. I called in Grandmother and Grandfather and thanked them for many things but especially for expanding my territory. I asked them to hold me in the night and to whisper in my ears.

My dreams were powerful. I traveled and visited new people in new places. I learned great things. I woke to gentle nudges between the dreams so that I could remember them. It was one of the sweetest night’s dreams I have ever had.

This morning my thoughts were about these dreams and the woman I sat in circle with and the man that came my way with the very direct smile and great face. I thought of how real and present these visitors were and how they were of this time … not yesterday or tomorrow but today. I thought of how remarkable my dreams were and how courageous I have been lately to ask for and received such vivid dreams.

I thought about how moving forward in faith and trust has really opened many new possibilities for me. Possibilities like the ones I witnessed in my dreams. I was thinking of the quantum effects that I am seeing work in my life. I realized that at some point I just jumped into a more positive potential and here I am dreaming it and living it ............. )))))

I grabbed the Osho Zen Tarot Book and slipped my finger into a random page. I wondered what the page would read before I opened the book ... Page 61 … "TRUST" … with the picture of a woman leaping into the air, free flight … no net … wide open arms.

The page said:

“Don’t waste your life for that which is going to be taken away. Trust life. If you trust, only then can you drop your knowledge, only then can you put your mind aside. And with trust, something immense opens up. Then life, this life is no longer an ordinary life, it becomes full of God, overflowing. When the heart is innocent and the walls have disappeared, you are bridged with infinity. And you are not deceived; there is nothing that can be taken away from you. That which can be taken away from you is not worth keeping, and that which cannot be taken away from you, why should on be afraid of its being taken away? – it cannot be taken away, there is no possibility. You cannot lose your real treasure.

Now is the time to be a bungee jumper without the cord? And it is the quality of absolute trust, with no reservations or secret safety nets. There is a tremendous sense of exhilaration if we can take the jump and move into the unknown, even if the idea scares us to death. And when we take trust to the level of the quantum leap, we don’t make any elaborate plans or preparation. We don’t say “Okay, I trust that I know what to do now, and I’ll settle my things and pack my suitcase and take it with me”. No, we just jump, with hardly a thought for what happens next. The leap is the thing, and the thrill of it as we free-fall through the empty sky. Here’s the hint … what waits for us at the other end - a soft, welcoming, cushion of yummy pink, rose petals … c’mon”.

Go ahead and jump!
