An Archetype Workbook

[Jade]

Anyhow, have you ever noticed Q'uo, Latwii and that gang ever mentioning the archetypes?  Probably there's a little something mentioned somewhere, but doggone little.  Why do you think that might be?  Obviously, it must, in part, be a function of the questioning.  But isn't it interesting that the archee-types are almost never referenced in the ordinary discussion of spiritual evolution by these prominent Confederation sources?

It is in my experience that I often find discussion of the archetypes in Q'uo, and the other conscious channelings. The problem is, as Jeremy mentioned, that most who have channeled Q'uo haven't spent a ton of time "learning the language" per potentiator, significator, etc. But, the symbology is still there - being a Fool, bearing fruit, catalyst repeating itself, catalyst in general (duh), dark night of the soul, heeding the call of the higher self, taking the positive interpretation of catalyst, harvesting biases from previous experiences, etc etc. In fact, I'm usually hard pressed to NOT see archetypical discussion or resonance in a Q'uo channeling. At one point I came to the conclusion that this is basically all Q'uo, and even Ra, talk about, unless they get taken totally off topic.

I understand this is not everyone's experience and may be part of the "deep threnodies and joyful ditties" that Ra mentions are the reward for studying the archetypes. Once you recognize the movements of energy that invoke the archetypes, you can see the description of those movements of energy appear everywhere.

There are quite a few that I have found that do explicitly describe and expound upon specific archetypes. But again, I think Carla probably never felt comfortable with the words "Significator of Spirit" etc coming out of her mouth. It's a cumbersome system. But there are definitely ways of talking about it without explicitly showing your hand and having people go "ARCHETYPES?! This is too complicated!"

Jim has been studying the archetypes more so I would suggest those who visit the circle start feeding some more questions of that specific variety in and see what comes out! I'd be stoked.
