Do we choose archetypes?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
“Dear Deepak, Before meditating I have been asking myself “Who am I?” and each time I ask, my answer is “A Warrior.”
I am also reading your book The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire where you are talking about archetypes.
You mentioned Princess Diana was Artemis, the fearless warrior.
Would she be a good archetype for me?
As you described, she was a fearless warrior… thank you for all that you do.”
Response:
Artemis may be a good archetypal model for you if you feel a strong kinship with that goddess energy.
Artemis is the goddess of the wilderness, hunting, and protector of children.
Even though she has an independent, fearless, and protective energy that could be characterized as warrior-like, it is probably not correct to label her as a warrior as such.
She has a strong integration of masculine and feminine strengths aimed at helping the weak and powerless.
I believe the huntress aspect of her reflects the focus and determination with which she pursues her goal.
Remember that working with archetypes is a journey, not a destination. It takes time and effort to understand and transform your archetypes.
Love,
Deepak
