The Tower can be seen as the illusion
of our security, the Devil card again which whispers, “If you follow the rules,
you will be safe.” The Tower is built of fears and worries, our need for
security and our fear of change.
This is the ego/personality we build as a buffer, to protect us, that
keeps us from taking responsibility for what is going on in our lives. Unless
we are willing to take the risk and pull
our tower down ourselves, we risk being blasted apart by a difficult
insight or tragedy. After the fall,
it’s up to us whether we find the positive effect and so see the gift and
healing that is offered when our lives fall apart.

Madeline McMurray THE TOWER
“My
first response to the tower card was one of excitement. For me, the
deeper meaning of life is often discovered in the “falling apart” moments of my
life. The image of lightning splitting the tower in half speaks of
divine power and the complex mystery of death and rebirth, the message of destruction
which is one I accept and work with on a daily basis. This is the
territory of psychotherapy which is my calling and my profession.
The
image of this card came to me at the moment I picked it up as I know this card
to be a statement of reality. Breakdown and collapse as symbolized by the
destruction of the towers is actually natural to our human condition.
Every life stage; birth, growth, relationship, family, maturity, old age, and
death involves the destruction of our old patterns to make room for life’s next
step. Our psychological and spiritual work is to let go to the falling apart of
life.”
