The year 2012 brought with it a wave of apocalyptic anxieties, fueled by ancient calendars and global instability. Jim DeKorne's "The Cracking Tower" offers a profound counter-narrative, moving beyond fear-mongering to present a transformative strategy. This work explores how societal collapse, much like the Tarot's Tower, can become a catalyst for profound personal and collective awakening. DeKorne guides readers to reframe impending change not as an end, but as an unparalleled opportunity for spiritual evolution, integrating insights from metaphysics, visionary traditions, and the natural world to navigate turbulent times.
Praise for this book
“This is an interesting philosophical exploration of two opposing views of the world- materialist vs. perennial. One holds that what you see is what you get, the other that there is more to life than meets the eye and that we are all a part of the divine being... If you are interested in philosophy and spirituality, you will find it a fascinating read.”
“The collection of sources, woven together by DeKorne's keen intellect, becomes, not so much eclectic, as a multifaceted view of a numinous path unfolding in a common language of the Perennial Philosophy. This is a good book, intellectually stimulating, with diverse and always relevant quotations.”
“Jim DeKorne expertly weaves together diverse threads...into a coherent vision of the challenges and potential that inhabit our modern psyche.”

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
DeKorne provides a compelling counter-narrative to the prevailing doom-mongering surrounding the 2012 phenomenon, offering a structured approach to spiritual evolution through the lens of the Tarot's Tower. The integration of visionary traditions is particularly effective for those open to esoteric frameworks. However, this book does not suit readers seeking factual historical analysis or those who prefer strictly secular, non-metaphysical explanations for global events. It may also disappoint individuals looking for practical political solutions rather than internal spiritual strategies. Ultimately, it succeeds as a philosophical tool for reframing fear, provided the reader accepts its underlying esoteric premises about collective awakening and spiritual catalysts.
