The power of archetypal energy is immeasurable. It has the capacity to over power mere humans, creating atrocities such as ethnic cleansing. It turns brother against brother, nation against nation, and all reason against unexplainable drive.
To be possessed by the energy of an archetypal alignment is to stand subservient to its directive. We can see this when the archetype of the parent kicks in to save a child from a dangerous situation. We would stand in front of a train to save them! We can also see the power of the energy when we are in the throes of the addiction archetype - on our knees with desire for one more fix, or falling in love. Archetypes are not something we create or control. Archetypes are energetic patterns that drive human experience and our work is to first honor their eternal presence, and then to understand their need. What is the presence of this power asking of us? |
