Description

Bodhidharma far transcends the moralists, thepuritans, the
so-called 'good people', who do good.

He has touched the very core.

Until that consciousness arises in you all your moralityis
false, your whole culture is just a thin layer that can be
destroyed by anyone.

But once your morality has grown out of your awareness,not
following a certain discipline, it's a totally differentmatter.

Then you speak in a particular situation from yourconsciousness:
whatever you do will be good.

Consciousness can not do anything that is bad.

This is the most sublime beauty of consciousness: thatwhatever
comes of it is just beautiful, it's just right, and it ismade
without any effort, without any practice.

So instead of cutting the branches and leaves, cut the root.

And to cut the root there is only one method: the methodto
be attentive, be alert, be aware.

Morality has restricted the juice of life and energy tothe
narrow limits of the mind.

It can not flow, though, it has become a 'dried old prune.

' All of her behavior patterns are very neat, rigid andsevere,
and she is always ready to see the situation in black orwhite,
just like the jewel she wears around her neck.

The Queen of the Clouds is lurking in the minds of all whohave
grown up with rigid ideas of right and wrong, sin and virtue,
acceptable and not acceptable, moral and immoral.

It is important to remember that all these losses of themind
are not merely products of our conditioning.

And whether our prejudices apply to ourselves or others,it
keeps us from experiencing the beauty and divinity that lies
within.

Only when we crossed the cage of our conditioning and seek
the truth in our hearts, we can begin to see life as itreally
is.

Fighting
At one point it was there and the next moment it is gone.

In a moment we are here and the next time we're gone.

And yet, in this simple moment how much fuss we make: somuch
violence, ambition, struggle, conflict, anger, hatred ....

And all for this little moment! We simply hope the trainarrives
in the waiting room of a station and creating so much fuss:
we fight, we hurt each other, trying to own, try to run, try
to master: everything is politics.

Then comes the train and you're gone forever
The figure of this card is completely covered in armor.

Only his eyes are visible with anger and the whites of his
knuckles on his clenched fists.

If you look at the armor a little more closely, you cansee
that he is covered with buttons, ready to detonate if someone
gets too close to him.

Deep in the shadows, we watch a film that goes through the
mind of this man: two figures fighting for a castle.

An explosive temper or a burning rage often hide a deepsense
of pain.

We think that if we scare people away , we can avoid being
hurt even more.

In fact just the opposite happens: when filling our wounds
with armor we are preventing them from healing.

By castigating others we prevent ourselves from receivingthe
love and care that we need.

If this description seems to refer to you, it's time tostop
fighting.

There is so much love at your fingertips, if only you letit
flow.

Start by forgiving yourself, you deserve it.

Mind

This is the situation of your mind, I see bicycle handlebars
and pedals, strange things you have collected from everywhere.

A mind so small.

And there is no room to live in it! And all this garbagecontinues
to move in your mind, your mind keeps spinning and weaving:
it keeps you busy.

Just think of the kind of thoughts that remain in your mind.

One day, just sit down, shut up the doors for half an hour
and write down everything that goes through your mind and you
will understand what I mean and you will be surprised to see
what happens inside your mind.

It's always there in the background, is there constantly,like
a cloud around you.
