Card from the Osho Zen Tarot
This thread on circles is getting some legs. It has generated a flood of responses at the Open Space email list, Dave Pollard picked it up and today Fast Company magazine’s blog quotes Dave. Wonderful!
And yet, my favourite response so far comes from my friend Ashley Cooper who emailed the OSLIST with this gem from the poet Osho:
“Your inner being, when it opens, first experiences two directions: the height, the depth. And then slowly, slowly, as this becomes your established situation, you start looking around, spreading into all other eight directions. And once you have attained to the point where your height and your depth meet, then you can look around to the very circumference of the universe. Then your consciousness starts unfolding in all ten directions, but the road has been one.”
it makes me think of looking around the circle, everyone in front of you and yet the road is just one. it also brings the sphere that someone mentioned (sorry i don’t know who) to mind. so is this what open space is trying to do… unfold people’s consciousness, offer an opportunity to look around the circumference of the universe?
Thanks, Ashley.
