The BLADES, or cards if you like better, symbolize the values recommended by the ZEN enough well. To be Zen, it is not follow a doctrine, an ideology, a religion, blindly. It is not a philosophy, even less a thought; it is a STATE OF SOUL! Tolerance, the forgiveness, drives to the harmony.

Contrary to the spiritual current others that fell in the trap of the dogmatism and the hero's cult, the ZEN puts the accent on the innate capacity of all one each, to achieve THE total AWAKENING of the conscience. In other words, to free themselves of the illusory ego, descended of the mental.

After having read the definition of the blades, if the heart tells of it to you, while clicking on the title of the card, you will discover the beauty of that that it contains!

But before, if the cSur tells of it to you, here it is how takes place a sitting of PULL of the Zen Tarot. I thank my friend Yves Rossi, for the photos that he made Saturday February 6,1999 .

PROJECTIONS: " The man and the woman of this blade look at themselves, but don't see themselves clearly. Each uses the other as a support on which it draws a picture that is its own mental production and that overlooks the partner's " real face...

THE INTERIOR VOICE: " The interior voice doesn't use any words, it speaks the language without words of the heart. It is like an oracle who always says the truth. If it had a face, it would look like the one that occupies the center of this card: heedful, attentive, capable to accept darkness as well as light "...

THE MAT: " Of instant in instant, to every step, the Mat gives up the past. It only takes its purity, its innocence, its confidence symbolized by the white rose tha it values the hand. This card suggests that if, at the moment, you trust your intuition and obey your perception of that that is " just ", you cannot be mistaken. ...

TO RELEASE TAKES IT: " A situation is finished, accomplished. Work, relation, occupation of a lodging, or something else that helped to define its identity. The moment came to renounce, to accept the sadness that can ensue some and not to rear. Something new, some unknown measurements are to discover. ...

THE FULLNESS: " The mature fruit falls spontaneously of the tree. It was attached to the branch, swollen of sap. Sudden, the tie breaks itself and it falls. It is not the result of a constraint or an effort. You are ready to share your interior wealth, your natural sap. To relax here is sufficient and now, to accept. ...

THE BLOSSOMING: " The Zen incites completely to live, to live in abundance, intensely. The zing should propagate itself and should be nutrient for others. The serenity, the fullness, the ecstasy should not remain latent like a simple potentiality. It is necessary that they bloom and spill their perfume in the surroundings, reaching the friends as the strangers. ...

THE PRESENT INSTANT: " This blade incites to more to worry of what is elsewhere and otherwise and to invest all the attention in what happens here and now. Life is a vast ocean to the breast of which one can play, when one gives up its opinions, to his/her/its judgments, to its obsessional programs. It is necessary to be available for what arrives. ...

THE FEAST: " The feast doesn't necessarily depend on the outside circumstances. Hopeless need to wait for a determined opportunity, vacations, good weather or Christmas. One is festive when one feels a joy in oneself, and while flowing toward the outside under shape of songs, dances, laughters or tears of gratitude. ...

WE ARE THE WORLD: " The humanity is represented like a rainbow. The beings dance while holding the hand, full of joy and gratitude for the gift of life. No one clings, no one gathers. It is the sharing of wealths that each brings to the whole. It is a circle where no one redoubt to feel lower or is not tempted to estimate itself superior. ...

THE CONDITIONING : " The picture that we have ourselves is not the fruit of our own direct vision, but results the opinion of the other about our case. A prepared outside personality is imposed us and replace the individuality that would have been able to develop itself in us while growing of the inside. We became merely the sheep of a herd, incapable to move freely and unconscious of our real " identity...

THE INNOCENCE : " If you stop hanging you to your knowledge says the Zen, while specifying that the knowledge includes all: your name, your identity, everything that comes from the outside and has been conferred you by others, in other words if you stop attaching you to what your setting and the society instilled you, your to be will acquire a completely new quality: The innocence! It will be your person's crucifixion and it will be followed of a resurrection of your purity, of your innocence "...

THE REBEL : " That it is rich or poor, the Rebel is indeed an emperor, because he broke the chains of the opinions and the repressive social conditionings. It achieved itself while incorporating all colors of the rainbow, while emerging dark and formless roots of its unconscious past and while developing some wings to spring in the sky. It is by gas a Rebel, no because it fights against someone or something, but because it discovered its own real nature and determined to live in agreement with this one "...

THE THUNDERBOLT: " It can happen that, at present, you felt shaken as if the Earth vacillated under your feet. You feel threatened. Your need natural of security pushes you to hang you to everything that falls you under the hand. Yet, this interior earthquake is at a time indispensable and extremely important. If you accept it, you will come out of the debris more strong and more open to new experiences. After the fire, the Earth relives and air is purified after the storm "...

THE CONSCIENCE: " The veil of the illusion, MAYAN ", that prevented you to discern the reality as it is, begin to consume themselves. The flame doesn't have the torrid heat of the passion, but the freshness of the conscience. As the veil burns, appears to the face of a very delicate Buddha, similar to a child "...

THE DREAM: A beautiful evening we will meet our alter ego, the soul sSur or brother, the to be perfected that will fill all our needs and will embody all our dreams. Is this truth? No one, that it is our present mate or a mythical partner to come, is not held to bring us happiness on a tray. The real love doesn't get itself while trying to solve our lack of fullness while becoming dependent of someone else, but while developing our own interior wealth.

THE UNDERSTANDING: The bird of this blade seems to be in cage. But there is not a door and, in fact, the bars are fading away. They were only an illusion. The small bird is attracted by the grace, the liberty and the encouragement of its similar. It opens its wings and get ready to fly for the first time. Abandon yourselves to the sweetness of the moment that presents itself.

THE POSSIBILITIES: The eagle has a general view of the possibilities offered by the landscape that he overflies. Him vogue in the sky with natural and without efforts. It is indeed in its element, majestic and free. You reached a doorstep; a world of possibilities opens up to you.

SUCCESS: Because you accept the recent challenges that throws you life, you can currently (or soon), to straddle exalting it tiger of the success. Welcome luck, savor it and share your good fortune with others. Without losing view that the rains of streamer have a beginning and one end!!

ABUNDANCE: This character dionysiaque (fairy), is the portrait of a complete man, Zorba the Buddha. If you are a woman, the King of the rainbow announces in your life helps it of your own virile energies and inaugurate a communion with your " soul interior brother ". If you are a man, this blade represents a classic male stereotype overtaking, and the advent of the human fullness.

THE MATURITY: The character of this blade is alone, silent and yet very attentive. Its conscious cSur is full of flowers. The apparition of this blade means that the present moment reserves you a gift that comes to crown your efforts. Your basis is strong, the success and luck smile you.

THE AWAKENING: The pull of this card means that a crystalline clarity is now possible, a detachment rooted in the deep silence that reigns to your being's heart. You don't try to understand in intellectual terms. The understanding that you reached is existential, global, in harmony with the throbbing of life. Accept this immense grant and share it with others.

THE MASTER: " In the Zen, the Mr. doesn't dominate others, it has the mastery of himself. Each of his gestures, each of his words reflects its state of awakening. It doesn't have any objectives private, no desire that the things are different from what they are anymore. Some disciples assemble around him, no to follow it, but to impregnate itself of his presence and to be stimulated by his example. In the eyes of the Mr., they discover their own truth and in his silence, they regain the silence of their own being more comfortably. The Mr. welcomes the disciples no by will to lead them, but because it has a big wealth to share "... (that that, in private conversation, is precisely the opposite of the " gurus " cans, that thanks to the sects, fill themselves the pockets)!!!
