I’ve had several interesting consulting and business partnership opportunities come my way in the last week. I decided to pull out my Osho Tarot deck to see if it would reveal any additional information to me. I pulled three cards and one of them was the “Participation” card.
Participation Card, Osho Zen Tarot
The commentary about this card describes to me the ultimate team/partnership relationship in a business setting and I’ve shared part of it with you here.
Each figure in this mandala holds the right hand up, in an attitude of receiving, and the left hand down, in an attitude of giving. The whole circle creates a tremendous energy field that takes on the shape of the double dorje, the Tibetan symbol for thunderbolt. The mandala has a quality like that of the energy field that forms around a Buddha, where all the individuals taking part in the circle make a unique contribution to create a unified and vital whole. It is like a flower, whose wholeness is even more beautiful than the sum of its parts, at the same time enhancing the beauty of each individual petal.
To me, what is described above is the result of perfect teamwork where the sum is greater than the individual parts, while each individual’s uniqueness and contribution to the whole stands out.
