This touched me when I read it, and I wanted to share it with the people who
have helped me. It applies to so much to what I am going though, especially
the last part about 'creating ripples in the waters around me.' Enjoy, Kim
Zen says: Think of all the great words and great teachings as your deadly
enemy. Avoid them, because you have to find your own source. You have not to
be a follower, an imitator. You have to be an original individual; you have
to find your innermost core on your own, with no guide, no guiding
scriptures. It is a dark night, but with the intense fire of inquiry you are
bound to come to the sunrise.
Everybody who has burned with intense inquiry has found the sunrise. Others
only believe. Those who believe are not religious, they are simply avoiding
the great adventure of religion by believing.
Osho Zen: Turning In Chapter 10
Commentary:
The figure in this card has taken on the shape of an arrow, moving with the
single-pointed focus of one who knows precisely where he is going. He is
moving so fast that he has become almost pure energy. But his intensity
should not be mistaken for the manic energy that makes people drive their
cars at top speed to get from point A to point B. That kind of intensity
belongs to the horizontal world of space and time.
The intensity represented by the Knight of Fire belongs to the vertical world
of the present moment--a recognition that now is the only moment there is,
and here is the only space. When you act with the intensity of the Knight of
Fire it is likely to create ripples in the waters around you. Some will feel
uplifted and refreshed by your presence, others may feel threatened or
annoyed. But the opinions of others matter little; nothing can hold you back
right now.
