Mary Wild's presentation on David Bowie's 1970s transformation was a masterclass that Bowie fans and analyst groupies should check out. I was somewhat reminded of Dr. Siri Sat Nam Singh's work with Corey Taylor (#Slipknot) on The Therapist (youtu.be/Azt8SRgwBJ8).
David Bowie as a young man literally holds a mask near his face.

I’m the guest on Episode 4 of The Tower cinema podcast, discussing The Matrix (1999) as a film that profoundly shifted my worldview, creating a ‘tower moment’ comparable to the tarot understanding of the term.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a surreal structure with a uniquely imposing aura. Pisa is rendered dreamlike because of this Tower. The conventional quality of the nearby buildings only enhances the magical features of being askew & imperfect. If this Tower were not Leaning, nobody would remember it.
