Completion: Osho Zen Tarot
Here the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle is being put into its place, the position of the third eye, the place of inner perception. In the ever-changing flow of life there are moments in which we come to a point of completion. In these moments we are able to perceive the whole picture, the composite of all the small pieces that have occupied our attention for so long. In the finishing, we can either be in despair because we don’t want the situation to come to an end, or we can be grateful and accepting of the fact that life is full of endings and new beginnings.
When you draw this card, whatever has been absorbing your time and energy is now coming to an end. In completing it, you will be clearing the space for something new to begin. Use this interval to celebrate both—the end of the old and the coming of the new.
Traditionally, this card represents the universal principal of individuation and self-actualization. This archetype represents the completion and integration of great inner work that has involved unifying paradoxes within oneself. A new door opens and you look forward to living life to its fullest and highest expression.
This is the way of Zen, not to say things to their completion. This has to be understood; it is a very important methodology. Not to say everything means to give an opportunity to the listener to complete it. All answers are incomplete. The master has only given you a direction…By the time you reach the limit, you will know what is going to remain.
This way, if somebody is trying to understand Zen intellectually he will fail. It is not an answer to the question but something more than the answer. It is indicating the very reality…The Buddha nature is not something far away—your very consciousness is Buddha nature. And your consciousness can witness these things which constitute the world. The world will end but the mirror will remain, mirroring nothing.
