Translation--"Um, my words are showing up here typed in backwards. WTF?!?" Haven't experienced that keyboard phenomenon before. How bizarre....

I pulled this Osho card last night, first time ever, and it tickled me to no end. Here's what is listed in the companion book:

"Being "in the gap" can be disorienting and even scary. Nothing to hold on to, no sense of direction, not even a hint of what choices and possibilities might lie ahead. But it was just this state of pure potential that existed before the universe was created. All you can do now is to relax into this nothingness...fall into this silence between the words...watch this gap between the outgoing and incoming breath. And treasure each empty moment of the experience. Something sacred is about to be born."

"Buddha has chosen one of the really very potential words - shunyata. The English word, the English equivalent, "nothingness', is not such a beautiful word.

"That's why I would like to make it "no-thingness' -- because the nothing is not just nothing, it is all. It is vibrant with all possibilities. It is potential, absolute potential. It is unmanifest yet, but it contains all. In the beginning is nature, in the end isnature, so why in the middle do you make so much fuss? Why, in the middle, becoming so worried, so anxious, so ambitious--why create such despair?

Nothingness to nothingness is the whole journey."

I htink this is the first time in my life I'm really able to go around the block with that concept. And still know where I'm going with it.
