XIX. Innocence

Zen says that if you drop knowledge - and within knowledge everything is included, you name, your identity, everything, because this has been given to you by others - if you dop all that has been given to you by others, you will have a totally different quality to your being - innocence.
This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality, and there will be a resurrection of your innocence; you will become a child again, reborn.

XIX. The Sun

The Sun is a very comforting card. some people disdain the sun because it gets too hot in the summer. this does not exclude me! we, as humans, take things for granted all the time. even when we're unaware...not meaning to. we still do.

...but to think more deeply about the sun, and what it does for life...how necessary it is for us, for the life in everything on Earth, brings deeper meaning.

the sun provides warmth. physical warmth...we appreciate the sun so much when we've been cold for too long. warmth as in comfort, reassurance.

the sun is the giver of life. it's obvious that no life could exists without the properties of the sun. the sun's light penetrates, giving us powerful energy. we are still scientifically clueless about the many life-giving and maintaining benefits of the sun. we do know that the sun, through skin absorption, is the main and almost sole source of vitamin D. this defeciency causes depression, among other health issues.

everyone needs to be in the sun for 15 minutes per day. for health reasons. statistics show that people who don't get that 15 minutes are generally depressed, unhealthy people.

the light of the sun makes things, colors and lines, look more crisp. we can see the intensity of colors. without the sun, there would be no color to look at..no color to life. darkness...sometimes the beauty of the sun literally has the ability to take our breath away.

the sun brings us new revelations and ideas. the energy of the sun guides us forward. it feels good, and it's the brightest energy possible.
