Notes

Book of Power

Error, failure, and the consequences thereof.

"(The Lightning Struck Tower; the work of the poor workman.) Hiram falls beneath the blows of the 'three bad brethren'. The first personifies Ignorance, which is incapable of seizing the mind, makes teaching impossible and spreads the errors which every half. understood truth engenders. The second denotes Fanaticism, which reduces the Temple to the proportions of an exclusive and isolated tower. The third resembles Ambition which is incapable of moderating itself in the erection of the Tower of Babel destined to crumble into ruins."[1]

Dramatic lightning strikes lead to pushing through resistance, obstacles, repression, moving one towards change, healing, and transformation.[2] This is fine and certainly points to a particular dynamic in spiritual advancement, but it ignores the impact of Toxic Socialization and the fact that dramatic transformation and enlightenments that blow through resistance wouldn't be necessary with a healthy socialization process geared towards meeting all Seven Essential Needs.
