Initial Comments

From the Osho Zen - No-Thingness
A blank, black, empty card with no sense of direction, no obvious purpose, nothing to cling to, no hint of what might be. Except that it's not nothingness, it's everything - it's not empty, it's very full. Full of possibility, full of potential, full of freedom, full of promise. We get to color the card - we get to color our dreams - however we wish. "Something sacred is about to be born."

From the Tiny Universal Waite - Two of Wands, Ace of Wands
The two become one...
The two flames become one.

From the Voyager Tarot - the Fortune card (X)
Lots of gold, shiny things, and circles in this card: perfect for the sunny month of July! "Look for the Sun in everyday objects and mundane situations, for July is the Joyous Golden Upswing of the Wheel."

July's Message

Something sacred is about to be born
when the two flames become one
in the Joyous Golden Upswing of the Wheel.

The Synthesis

Dream ... dream of the total darkness
Dream of the dream within your dream
and leave the body of your psyche, unguarded,
in the hands of your destiny.

The essential flaw will be corrected,
and separation will drink from the source
that unites the twin seeds
and absorbs all ambiguity

So, ride the Wheel, breathe, sense and live.
Jump into light, with open wings.
The gift for you, is 'here and now'
and it's a moment of sudden glory.

A flower has just blossomed
in the land of your dreams.

The Analysys

Dream... dream of the total darkness
Dream of the dream within your dream
and leave the body of your psyche, unguarded,
in the hands of your destiny.

We usually lead our existence, in this world, being aware of our body. However paradoxical this may be, we rarely realize that this awareness is not enough. We are not just "walking bodies," in fact we also are "walking souls" to the same measure, at least. Being aware of one's soul is the first step towards the conscious materialization of one's dreams. For the soul is its dreams - as well as its nightmares - and these dreams exist on multiple levels, which means that the deeper we go the more cryptographic the nature of the underlying dream.

The essential flaw will be corrected,
and separation will drink from the source
that unites the twin seeds
and absorbs all ambiguity

There is no technique, really, in reaching this soul awareness. In fact, it could be said that all known techniques should be discarded. The source quenches the thirst of those who are thirsty for its waters. Separation, from the source and from the self, is an illusion. There always is unity, even when the splitting nature of the mind intervenes. What the mind creates is the illusion of separation. What never ceases to exist, and often comes to manifest through our dreams, especially when we have created a splitting reality, is unity. This unity follows the law of love.

So, ride the Wheel, breathe, sense and live.
Jump into light, with open wings.
The gift for you, is "here and now"
and it's a moment of sudden glory.

Walking souls that are aware of their steps experience a kind of joy which blossoms out of a different seed. They are not focused on gratification, in fact they are not focused on future pursuits at all. They constantly emerge in the "here and now" well, and they drink from its sparkling waters. Experience walks into us through the five senses, but, most importantly, it walks into us through the open door of our innocence, "in no sense." What impedes the free flow of joy into us is the bunch of concepts and judgments we carry with us, as if they were precious gems. Innocence savours destiny's offerings without judging their utility or their scope. Innocence sees all life's moments as gifts.

A flower has just blossomed
in the land of your dreams.

So, could this be the time for the grand leap in Consciousness? The time is right. We are ripe and ready to bloom. Love - the essence of the tiniest particle of energy, everywhere at once through all illusion of time and space, is the bud that blooms. It is the bird's song. It is the butterfly kissing the dew. Love is the iridescent dragonfly that skims the blue skin of a pond on a warm summer day.
