I want to recommend reading the books Archetypes: Who Are You? and Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential.
This life work of Carolyn Myss who wrote the books I find fascinating.
It has helped me as an adjunct to therapy and medication to study her theory.

Yes and as of this week I’ve been thinking more and more about my individual Archetypes. About how they impact my goals in life as an Author and Advocate and Visionary – 3 of my Archetypes

The reply got sent before I was finished typing. Again yes I’ve been thinking just this weekend at the start of 2021 about the benefit of having the 3 Archetypes I do – Author Advocate and Visionary. Having these Archetypes is the root of being able to advance my Sacred Contract – which is to advance my vision of recovery from whatever a person is in recovery from. The fact that I have a Visionary Archetype is what compels me to want to make a difference not just sit on the couch for 2 or 3 hours a night watching TV. To end here I think the life work of Caroline Myss with the Archetypes and Sacred Contracts has as much validity and usefulness as hard science.

Hi Chris, I can relate with you. We seem to have archetypes or patterns of behavior that remain with us through the thick and thin of things. Yet they don’t determine our actions per say. They are kind of like a proclivity to be a certain way. So it’s up to us to use these drives in a positive and constructive manner. Are we still on the same page?

Yes Jason you are right in this regard. I also study numerology and the life work of Christine DeLorey. She wrote the book: Life Cycles: Your Emotional Journey to Freedom and Happiness. This author believes that everyone should have Free Will. This is linked to the Archetypes study because an individual who resists using their Archetypes will have a harder time of it in life. Like Myss writes I too believe everyone has a Sacred Contract. Using your Archetypes to better yourself and to help others reach their potential too should be the goal. When we act according to our Free Will that is when magic happens in our lives. In my life I think having these Archetypes drives me to act the way I do to advance my vision of recovery. People who use their gifts for nefarious purposes are betraying the reason for having Archetypes in the first place. Caroline Myss calls the Archetypes a person has their own Inner Net. I’m a firm believer in Archetypes and Sacred Contracts and Numerology and Astrology. I have used these principles to design a better life for myself. My own life work is focused on helping others heal and be healthy. No one should be made to feel guilty or ashamed when they want to be healthy. Using our Archetypes in a positive and constructive way can help us be healthy.
