The Tower does not destroy what is real -- it destroys only what was never as solid as you believed it to be. Sudden upheaval is not random misfortune but the unignorable arrival of truth into a structure that was built, however unconsciously, on a false foundation. This energy is deeply disruptive and ultimately liberating -- but that liberation is rarely comfortable in the moment of collapse. The shattering of an illusion often feels like a disaster, but it is actually a release. What is crumbling around you right now was not serving the life you are actually meant to live. The shock of this upheaval is in direct proportion to the degree to which you were invested in the illusion. The more honest you can be about what the foundation was actually made of, the sooner the rubble becomes the ground on which something true can be built.
