What is there to go back to?
Living a big life of shallow ignorance?

Miraculous you call it babe
You ain't seen nothing yet
They've got Pepsi in the Andes
Mcdonalds in Tibet
Yosemite's been turned into
A golf course for the Japs
The Dead Sea is alive with rap
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
There's a leisure centre now
They've got all kinds of sports
They've got Bermuda shorts
The had sex in Pennsylvania
A Brazilian grew a tree
A doctor in Manhattan
Saved a dying man for free
It's a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And pressures of marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle
We've got a warehouse of butter
We've got oceans of wine
We've got famine when we need it
Got a designer crime
We've got Mercedes
We've got Porsche
Ferrari and Rolls Royce
We've got a choice
She said meet me
In the Garden of Gethsemane my dear
The Lord said Peter I can see
Your house from here
An honest man
Finally reaped what he had sown
And farmer in Ohio has just repaid a loan
It's a miracle
Another miracle
By the grace of God Almighty
And pressures of marketplace
The human race has civilized itself
It's a miracle
We cower in our shelters
With our hands over our ears
Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff
Runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits the theatre
But the operetta lingers
Then the piano lids comes down
And break his FFing fingers
It's a miracle
Like there is something to go back to......

Man is split. Schizophrenia is a normal condition of man--at least now. It may not
have been so in the primitive world, but centuries of conditioning, civilization, culture
and religion have made man a crowd--divided, split, contradictory.... But because this split is
against his nature, deep down somewhere hidden the unity still survives. Because the
soul of man is one, all the conditionings at the most destroy the periphery of the man. But
the center remains untouched--that's how man continues to live. But his life has become
a hell. The whole effort of Zen is how to drop this schizophrenia, how to drop this split
personality, how to drop the divided mind of man, how to become
undivided, integrated, centered, crystallized. The way you are, you
cannot say that you are. You don't have a being. You are a
marketplace--many voices. If you want to say 'yes', immediately the
'no' is there. You cannot even utter a simple word 'yes' with totality....
In this way happiness is not possible; unhappiness is a natural
consequence of a split personality.
Osho Dang Dang Doko Dang Chapter 3
Commentary:
The person on this card brings a new twist to the old idea of "getting
stuck between a rock and a hard place"! But we are in precisely this
sort of situation when we get stuck in the indecisive and dualistic
aspect of the mind. Should I let my arms go and fall head-first, or let
my legs go and fall feet-first? Should I go here or there? Should I say
yes or no? And whatever decision we make, we will always wonder if
we should have decided the other way. The only way out of this
dilemma is, unfortunately, to let go of both at once. You can't work
your way out of this one by solving it, making lists of pros and cons,
or in any way working it out with your mind. Better to follow your
heart, if you can find it. If you can't find it, just jump--your heart will
start beating so fast there will be no mistake about where it is!
