Osho Zen Tarot card for Project Avalon.

[TranceAm]

I got a little proggie here that will generate a card from the Osho Zen Tarot based on the total ASCII value of the input and the time. (Synchronicity.)

The outcome for:
09/12/08 23:45:54
Input String :Project Avalon
Input Line = Project Avalon
Total Input Line = Osho Zen Tarot Project Avalon

Osho Zen Tarot Card = 69

68- Osho Zen Tarot Minor Arcana - Suit of Rainbows - 2 of Rainbows - Moment to Moment

The past is no more and the future is not yet: both are unnecessarily moving in directions
which don't exist. One used to exist, but no longer exists, and one has not even started to
exist. The only right person is one who lives moment to moment, whose arrow is directed
to the moment, who is always here and now; wherever he is, his whole consciousness, his
whole being, is involved in the reality of here and in the reality of now. That's the only
right direction. Only such a man can enter into the golden gate. The present is the golden
gate. Here-now is the golden gate. ...And you can be in the present only if you are not
ambitious--no accomplishment, no desire to achieve power, money, prestige, even
enlightenment, because all ambition leads you into the future. Only a non-ambitious man
can remain in the present. A man who wants to be in the present has not to think, has just
to see and enter the gate. Experience will come, but experience has not to be premeditated.

Osho The Great Zen Master Ta Hui Chapter 37

Commentary:

As this figure moves across the stones, he steps lightly and non-seriously, and at the same time absolutely
balanced and alert. Behind the swirling, ever-changing waters we can see the shapes of buildings; there appears to
be a city in the background. The man is in the marketplace but at the same time outside of it, maintaining his
balance and able to watch it from above. This card challenges us to move away from our preoccupations with
other spaces and other times, and stay alert to what is happening in the here and now. Life is a great ocean in
which you can play if you drop all your judgments, your preferences and the attachment to the details of your
long-term plans. Be available to what comes your way, as it comes. And don't worry if you stumble or fall; just
pick yourself up, dust yourself off, have a good laugh, and carry on.

Just wondering, and I don't know much Tarot, probably just a typo.....

Your card definition says card 68. You stated program generated card 69.

If card 69 is doom and gloom, don't tell me.

Correct noticed.

I start with Card 0 on Position #1 and card 78 on position #79.

partial C++ Code :

while ( X > 79 ) { X = X - 79 ; } // X = Total Sum ASCII values
cout << "Osho Zen Tarot Card = " << X << endl ;

if ( X == 1 ) {
system ("gedit Mayor_0_The_Fool.txt &") ;
system ("eog Mayor_0_The_Fool.jpg &") ;
<massive snip>
if ( X == 68 ) {
system ("gedit Clouds_Ace_Consciousness.txt &") ;
system ("eog Clouds_Ace_Consciousness.jpg &") ;
}
if ( X == 69 ) {
system ("gedit Rainbows_2_Moment_To_Moment.txt &") ;
system ("eog Rainbows_2_Moment_To_Moment.jpg &") ;
}
if ( X == 70 ) {
system ("gedit Rainbows_3_Guidance.txt &") ;
system ("eog Rainbows_3_Guidance.jpg &") ;
}
<massive snip>
if ( X == 78 ) {
system ("gedit Rainbows_Ace_Maturity.txt &") ;
system ("eog Rainbows_Ace_Maturity.jpg &") ;
}
if ( X == 79 ) {
system ("gedit Mayor_The_Master.txt &") ;
system ("eog Mayor_The_Master.jpg &") ;
}

Brilliant. Thank you. Zero really is something. I must have needed the reminder to have noticed what I did!!

Card drawn could not have been more appropriate. Camelot has melded both sides together is very meaningful ways.

I looked at the Tarot cards on the website. Very beautiful and well described.

Thank you again.
