[Ian Livingston]

Jung knew the role of the Tower, as does TRP: the Tower crumbles--it
is its own inevitable downfall.

"Less than any man have I  excuse for prejudice; and I feel for all
creeds the warm sympathy of one who has come to learn that even the
trust in reason is a precarious faith, and that we are all fragments
of darkness groping for the sun. I know no more about the ultimates
than the simplest urchin in the streets." -- Will Durant
