The Tower

In times of distress we often try to find the language that can be used to translate the events that are part of our experience into a viable understanding. What is there that we can use to embrace the change? Did our concepts of providence fail us in the face of dividing reasons?
The card of The Tower is quite often a misread phenomenon or something merely inclined to direct us to thinking of a meaning towards the end of things. It is a compulsive thinking of a figurative: a tower that crumbles and what stems from it.
Our physical world stands on the foundations of the idea. Our needs, prayers, will, our wishes and desires are bent on this idea. Idea of self-fulfilling phenomenon - be it career, love, education, more trivial pursuits of momentary satisfaction, caprice and of course, last yet not least - the pursuit of happiness.
Happiness glows like a shy flame in the hindsight of whatever we think or deem.
How to attain it when worlds collide, opinions hurt, events tear everything into pieces, hopes are destroyed by the unpredictable?
The way to understand the elusive symbolism of the tower is to look beyond what only seemingly is referred to as a crumble, a catastrophe, a disaster. It's a blessing in disguise. An emergence of something that was imprisoned and now wants to sail full steam ahead.
It is an invitation towards opening yourself. Understanding that most of the time we see only one side of the coin while the other one doesn't necessarily bring any harmful effects to our life.
It is the providence and help to create a new construct - one that will be helpful as long as it provides help and understanding - brings all that needs to be revealed into the limelight of our consciousness.
