The Dream

I asked a psychic for help the other day.
It's something I have never done before
but I was just so darn curious.
Her answer to my question was a straight "No"and
pure negativity.  Later that evening, however,
I realized that she was answering my question from her
perspective - a fear-based place where money matters and makeup is
applied.  This isn't the timespace warp that I choose to inhabit, though.
So, like all good things, I take what works while tossing the bulk of it over my shoulder,
like a fine salt.
My altar, on the other hand, is reliable.  It knows my Soul and what I pray for -
which is always to bee in service to the greatest and highest good.  The only thing to remember is that what "THE BEST FOR ALL" is is a mystery - therefore I must TRUST that all is unfolding according to DIVINE PERFECT ORDER, always. 

Today my Osho Zen Ta'rot card reads: "The Dream, six of water
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 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 beautiful, 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 - they fall in love with money.  They start moving into money or into 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 a 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.

Some enchanted evening you are going to meet your soul mate, the perfect person who will meet all your needs and fulfill all your dreams.  Right?  Wrong!  This fantasy that songwriters and poets are so fond of perpetuating has its roots in memories of the womb, where we were so secure and 'at one' with our mothers; it's no wonder we have hankered to return to this place all our lives.  But, to put it quite brutally, it is a childish dream.  And it's amazing that we hang on to it so stubbornly in the face of reality.  Nobody, whether its 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 OUR NEEDINESS BY DEPENDING ON ANOTHER, BUT BY DEVELOPING OUR OWN INNER RICHNESS AND MATURITY.  Then we have so much to give that we naturally draw lovers toward us."
