तह ण्श्र्टूटीण ऑफ़ तोवेर्स,अन्किएन्त् और MODERN

The Construction of towers require a plan and lots of labor and expecially in pre-historic times and druing various 'historic' centuries and eras. Where once stone was largelyused until modern times, THE MATERIALIZATION OF LIFE is symbolized by this TOWER CARD in the TAROT DECK and while the previous methods of TECHNOLOGY(as found in geometries from ancient ot modern times) the modern modes of technology and technical ability have beomce powerful to the extent that everything is considered from this perspective,all life materialized & controlled, as is exemplified by the SYMBOL OF THE TOWER, as seen and understood in this card.... The UNIFORMITY, CONFORMITY, & CONTROL brought about by the DIGITALIZATION & THE ELECTRONIC AGE via computers, cell phones, etc. is represented by this card where a SINGLE LANGUAGE' ahs been created-A NEW TOWER OF BABEL of which FACEBOOK is an example-as now people are talking a 'babel of languages,confusion,varied & volatile opinions & information, both true & false.....If you think this is far-fetched, COMPUTERS HAVE 'TOWERS'and can be considered as 'MODERN TOWERS OF BABEL'!

  1. Several 'occult towers' have been erected in a sense....two that come to my mind are: The skyscaper that housed the art and works of Nicholas Roerich in New York City, and the Tower of Bollingen that Jung had erected....Of course, many centers of occult activity have also been erected from time to time, one of them being that of RUDOLPH STEINER's that was destroyed, ostensibly by the Nazis, and was called the GOETHEANUM,but was rebuilt....and of course, the 'priory' of Gurdjieff along with others by various occultists.
