The Tower can evoke a sense of fear and panic. It brings with it change in a very big way, suddenly, and usually at full force! It represents a removal of veils, a breaking down of walls, and a total and complete shift in thinking.
The Tower can be compared to going through the eye of the needle, an unloading of attachments, ego and that which no longer serves. It is a sense of freeing the Infinite Being within and a reminder that this material world is the world of illusion and change is the only constant.
This card can be scary, until you remember that all of it, everything that happens, is in truth moving you in the direction of what is best for you - you just have to allow things to unfold!
The Tower represents all the walls you have learned to surround yourself with. They were built to protect, out of fear, and they limit your access to the unbounded possibilities that truly exist. The Tower also represents this material, physical world. Each brick that has been laid down, carried around, reminds you of the past, of the burdens you bear, of the attachments you think you hold dear.
Yet when the Tower comes to call, it is a sign for the winds of change. A time for the bricks to be released and the walls to come down. A time to remember that there are no limitations and your Infinite Self is not now, nor ever, bound by this world. It reminds you that the only thing that is true and real is love. The veils are lifted and the Tower falls to show you the vast expanse of the universe. Your true self remains free, free to be exactly what you want to be, what you came here to be.
It is through this tearing down, through this chaos, that you are able to see clearly, to trust fully, and to remember that with all destruction there comes new creation. It is time to grow, to expand, and to play big! Take the time to step back and ask: "Have you gotten so comfortable in your walls that you forgot they are not real? Have you grown so attached to certain things and hold them more valuable than your true essence? Or have you asked for change at the greatest level to lead you to your highest self? Have you asked for the veils to be lifted?" This too, is a time for this world to let down the walls created out of fear. It is happening to us all.
Most of us have the same initial response to drastic change - fear, panic, resistance! Ahhh! But it is through this drastic change, this destruction, that the most powerful creation occurs. You are reminded that all of this material, physical world is but a dream; an experience that you choose to undertake to remember your Divinity, your power and your true essence, your Infinite Self!
Looking deeper into The Tower you can see the walls are coming down, fast. You see your naked self, exposed in the light. You are ready to shine through the darkness. You see the unleashing of Pandora's box, setting free your fears and limitations from the past, offering hope and a renewed sense of freedom. A spiritual awakening unlike any other! Are you ready and willing to release all fears, to go with the winds of change, and be led to your highest good? Let go of resistance, let go of the heavy bricks you have carried for so long; they no longer serve you. It is time.
Are you dreaming up all that is possible or are you opening yourself up to the possibilities? Can you feel the moon and her energy moving through you? She is in her full manifesting realm, and the limitations are crumbling! What lovely fun. Let go of your need to control and work out all the details; that is not your job. Trust that the Universe, in all its grandeur, has it handled; focus on what you want to create, not what you are afraid will happen. Allow yourself to see in the light of the moon the beauty in it all! There are many paths, but they all lead to the same place - home, your highest self realized!
So go have some fun, get playful, and swim around in this grand expanse. There is nothing to fear. Everything is happening by design, your design; your heart's greatest desires are coming into fruition. Even though you did not see it happening this way, it is happening, unfolding at the speed of light! Tear down the walls, lift the veils, and get big, bright, and blissful! When the Tower falls it creates stepping stones into the great wide unknown! Love, truth, and joy. That is who you are. Can you feel it??
Today's Meditation:
Step into your sacred space, find stillness, relax. Set a timer for 10-20 minutes. Breath deeply, slowly, mindfully. Place your right hand in the center of your chest and experience the vibration that is you. Become undefended, open to love, the love you are made of.
Silently to yourself or out loud repeat the mantra: "I let go, I let go, I let go."
When your timer goes off, let go of your mantra, truly let go of it all. When we let go of everything, we find that what remains is love. Feel the love, be the love, trust in the love.
