In the Osho cards, there is a card, number 4, called The Rebel. This card could be the symbol for all lightworkers today. The write up on the card is amazing...
"The powerful and authoritative figure in this card is clearly the master of his own destiny. On his shoulder is an emblem of the sun, and the torch he holds in his right hand symbolizes the light of his own hard-won truth.
Whether he is wealthy or poor, the Rebel is really an emperor because he has broken the chains of society's repressive conditioning and opinions. He has formed himself by embracing all the colors of the rainbow, emerging from the dark and formless roots of his unconscious past and growing wings to fly into the sky. His very way of being is rebellious - not because he is fighting against anybody or anything, but because he has discovered his own true nature and is determined to live in accordance with it. The eagle is his spirit animal, a messenger between earth and sky.
The Rebel challenges us to be courageous enough to take responsibility for who we are and to live our truth." (OSHO, Commentary on Zen Osho Cards)
What a concept! To be able to break free of all chains of society and create one's own way of being by living one's own true nature. Right now, as one looks around, one sees people following with lemming like determination into eating fads, debt, fashion, consumerism, unconscionable acts, unhealthiness and unhappiness. No one even has an idea of what it is like to have one's own mind. Would it be a bad thing if the TV stations went off the air for six month? Would the influence that media culture has over everyone, especially the young, fade away?
The Rebel has always attracted a following because the Rebel scares the establishment. The Rebel cannot be moulded for the Rebel is very intelligent, feels the call of freedom, and wants to know "Why" for everything. The Rebel will look to find what is best for all, including the Earth.
Are you a Rebel? Do you stand for something in the face of huge pressure to be on the other side? What is it that sets you free? Have you learned to say NO?
