The Tower Moment ᝰ.ᐟ

Or why I’m not afraid to see it anymore
The influence of social media, the frightening interpretation of the card as a «sudden upheaval», and the fear of change itself in a lot of hearts on this planet — it is not surprising that The Tower frightens many novice tarot readers or people who are interested in cards as a tool for spiritual development, or even for fun. Even in some circles it perceived as an inner joke of some kinds, as a “scary” card. The essence is the same: when we see The Tower, something inside us tenses up.
• What is this Tower Moment •
An Enlightenment. If I want to be really quick.
Yes, of course, The Tower can feel like a disaster, it can appear itself in our lives as a massive cataclysm, as an illness or as a breakup, whether with a person or with some part of ourselves.
The essence of The Tower is not in the manifestation of a catastrophe in our space, but in the questions that arise during or after it.
Let's take a closer look.
• The universe never «punishes», and you have done nothing to «deserve» it •
Questions such as «What did I do wrong?» and «Did I slip up somewhere that caused me to see The Tower in the spread?» are relevant, but you are not to blame here. There’s no one and nothing to blame, to be honest. It’s just Life.
We all make choices, always and every day. Life has taught you a lesson not to punish you, but to help you become aware, to start thinking about improving your life and moving forward in your development. To reveal your habits, patterns and thoughts for the benefit of your higher self.
That's why I called The Tower «Enlightenment». It's an understanding and realising the fact, after the dissonance has happened.
• There are enlightenments in our everyday, simple life •
Towers can happen to you almost every day if you are on the right path golf self growth, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Even the small insights are could explain how The Tower works. The small notice of your choice, the change of opinions, understanding, what is working for you and what no longer serves you well.
You are just taking another step to get closer on the path of soul healing after a moment that shakes your consciousness. Know that enlightenment is not a bad thing — you learn even more about yourself, study yourself as a person, a child and a critic that is within you.
• Looking towards the light •
It is not surprising that The Tower is followed by The Star. After the shock of the epiphany, after an episode of complete darkness, you find the strength within yourself to lift your head and see a ray of hope. This is your guide, your path. Afterwards, it may turn out that these paths are multiple, and in the end, this hope captivates you and moves you even further along to the healing of the heart.
People die, places are destroyed, we catch illnesses or are forced to part ways. It's scary, sad, dramatic and traumatic, but it's part of life. Accepting this fact and understanding that life is full of difficult and unexpected events makes it easier to live. You begin to cherish every moment, laugh louder and enjoy gifts of life without feeling guilty.
