What does the Tarot card The Tower

Crowley identifies this card with a "manifestation of cosmic energy in its crudest form." This "Shiva dancing on the bodies of his admirers, and Gore, for" Eye of Horus, opening his scathing world that unites it with the eye of Shiva. " Nevertheless, the destruction is not always evil - the destruction of the garrison, shown on the map, is the release from prison of organized life. " For a deeper prochuvstvovaniya these lines, I recommend to remember a lecture on Gnosticism, as well as get acquainted with the writings of modern tantric mage left the way - Bhayravanandy, which belongs to Kaula Tantra school trikasamarasya, which has far more parallels with Telemachus, than any other Eastern teachings. Crowley also points at the 57 verse of the first chapter of the holy book of the law - there is a dove, and there is a snake - how to choose. " Pigeon and snake, there are forces of life and death, are nevertheless intertwined ..

What else do we know about the sixteenth Arkan e? According to legend, the origin of the cards associated with the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem during the second Jewish war. The subsequent scattering caused a complete change in the Jewish tradition. In the traditional value of the card decks exclusively negative, but as mentioned above, Crowley considers the act of destruction as an opportunity to escape from the prison of illusion, and in this respect, the map has a rather positive sense for individuation. The observant reader may note, but the relationship between the cards, "Death," "The Devil" and "Tower" because the idea of transformation through the crisis, is the base for each of these cards. However, the nature of this transformation is quite different - if death is an alchemical transformation through decay, the devil is the rebellious spirit of ecstatic feast during the plague, Saturnalia, something about "The Tower" was the most accurate to say that it's an instant explosion. Flash - and neither is anything other than the ruins, which will now have to rebuild themselves on completely different principles. This experience is the strength is not for everyone, and it often happens that instead of transformation, the explosion causes a drop in psychosis.

In devinatsionnoy work the first time I have dealt with a tower in the alignment of tarot cards on some rather confused relationship that ended quickly and immediately the very next day after the alignment of the Tarot. Tower in the context of a best solution than any other card. Once I had the watch the process of mainstreaming What does the archetype of the sixteenth Arkan in pure form in the fate of one person close to me. Picture of complete destruction was in something terrible, because it was all up to the intentions of suicide. But precisely because of this destruction, the transformation has occurred in the shortest possible time - in a month. I saw a completely new person, at what has changed not only the beliefs and values of the ego - everything has changed - the style, intonation, personal temporitm, according to some psychologists, the latter simply can not change physically! We can say that for a month instead of the shacks had been erected a magnificent palace.

I must say that the tower is not everything and does not always guarantee this latest incarnation, like a phoenix. I have often heard that passing this way a person immersed in a psychosis from which he could no longer rise. As in the case of Arkan "Death", positive or negative interpretation depends on the level of development and building awareness of a specific individual. As Nietzsche said, "What plebeian poison for the aristocrat fine wine" and "what does not kill us makes us stronger." The most accurate would be to say that the towers, blast walls of the prison that a prisoner finds his home. To understand the experiences that he feels someone has to go through what means the archetype of the tower, imagine a person who, for unknown reasons, was born and raised in prison. As a child he wondered what was behind those walls, perhaps even tried to escape, but eventually the desire is gone, and the world beyond the walls, became something like an unattainable legend. And at one point breaking down the walls of this prison and the prisoner is left alone with the unknown outside world, op which he absolutely nothing e knows, except those obscure fairy tales that they told him the guards. Back there is no way the prison is in ruins, and all the guards are dead, and he can do is you go to the outside world of freedom. Surely, people will experience the horror before him discovered open space, and not everyone can learn to live in the changed circumstances.
