Sacred Stories
They were enjoying a beautiful afternoon, visiting on the porch. Deep, rich sharing, that spontaneously wound itself to the mention of Beyond Illusion, Card 20 in the Osho Zen Tarot deck.
The butterfly in this card represents the external world, which is constantly moving, which is not real, but just an illusion. Behind the butterfly is the face of consciousness, observing inner, and looking for eternity.
“Pick a card, any card,” quipped her dear friend, as the deck was handed to her.
The first cut of the deck revealed Beyond Illusion!
In a world that lives like a fist,
mercy is no more than waking with your hands open.
