The eternal hourglass keeps on turning and from it’s sands emerge The Tower.
Symbolically the tower represents the axis of the world since it unites heaven and earth.
In the Bible, the first tower is the Tower of Babel - built out of human pride and fiercely destroyed by God. From this destruction came the plurality of languages which dispersed humanity. Indeed, since the fall of Adam and Eve never had humanity tried to build again the axis of the world and this first endeavor - being against God’s will - is fiercely fought against.
In Christianity specifically, the tower would always represent humans vanity and misfortune. Yet the lighthouse - which is a tower, emerging from the waves with a light on its top - would have a positive connotation since it’s light would guide the souls in the good direction.
It was only in the middle ages that towers would flourish in Europe since they would harbor the bells that would call in the population.
In China, the tower also has a positive connotation since wise men could better study the heavens. They would then serve as channels of good energy to the earth.
Now you take the floor, what do you associate with the tower?

Dear Love, I have just read what you are writing. I think that as everybody else you have the Right for a decent job. It is in the Human Rights Declaration.
To have a health problem is something human and not a ‘fault’. You are lucky you have your mother and I am sure she makes the utmost for helping you. I have known somebody who had ‘manic-depression’ and was taking medication and was able to live a nornal life. Trust your mother and the people around you and be sure there will be a better time for you.
LOVE,
Thelma”

“Trust your mother and the people around you”
This words can be poison. A good advise, but also a dangerous poison.
Just to quote an example that most people here may know; if Paulo had trusted her mum, and her dad, he would probably be in that mental home he was carried long ago.
A mother can be very dangerous for a daughter sometimes. The fact of being a mother doesn´t mean to be in the Light.

The tower for me is an isolation
if I could choose, I prefer to stay on the ground
and see things from human being’s eyes
can touch, see, smell, taste everything
rather than being on the top
and see things from heaven far away
but can touch, see, smell, and taste nothing
Life is based on the earth
people need to learn from the earth
in order to understand something beyond the heaven. ^_^

I associate towers with power - good and bad. From a tower you can see far, protect, be safe. From a tower you can be imprisoned, hidden and lost. As with everything in this life, it depends who is the keeper of the tower.

Towers
Represent the very high above me, the levels to climb to, to top of all tops and then to higher tops of all tops.
One enters a tower on the first floor and is aware of the ….floors above.
The bean stalk that keeps on growing to elevate itself towards infinity.

One view is the tower initially represents human ambition that is created and built up before it is disintegrated by the mind in favor of a more spiritual and holistic focus.

In a dancing floor I see several signs of the “tower”.
Think that the dance is a rite to the same to “Earth”, of which the men and women are the own towers, as in a chess game.
A “tower” can be the Dj, or a person who has connected with the music and raises the hands, flowing his(her,your) channel of positive energy, with the “Earth”, with ritual dancing.

The tower could be anyone new you meet.
Some, once you start to climb the stairs it all gets too hard and proves not worth the effort. These types of towers you could tend to their grounds with them, as the steps crumble and the view is cloudy. Not too bad you need to walk away from it, but nicer from a distance.
Others, lure you onward and upward, revealing more of the beauty the more effort you put in.
These rare beings, offer a breathtaking and life changing view of the world once you reach the pinacle. These are the towers from which beacons shine. Where you both beam brighter in each others presence.

Dear Thelma,
Thank you for your kind words.

Tower
Light in the Darkness?
Mystery horded, protected?
All darkness with a tiny light resting at the top,
Whether Rapunzel or navagational beacon
Sort of like us.

The tower is something that was built by human hands and for this I am exceedingly glad. Now that the time has come for the destruction of the tower, I am not angry. I can see that it has to be. I am glad that it existed built by humans for the time that it did.
I recognize that the tower or axis of our planet revolves around the greatest life at any given time existing on that planet, and now I am committed to teaching others about a new kingdom of nature which I have named girasas. That they have built the tower or lighthouse is also my greatest joy because I want to know them as fully as I can with the time that we have together and when we again participate in the life of the planet, it will be the destruction of the tower built by the lower kingdom of animals that has to take place and we will be their guides for a time, causing events that instruct but do not dominate, as a kingdom has rightfully a time spent on the globe in their fullest capacity before learning about the coming of the higher kingdom and taking up the watchword from them.
