Archetypes

Archetypes are representations of the deep structures in our psyches that channel our life forces. Examination of mythic images from disparate cultures all over the world reveals a common subset of mythic images.  The Depth Psychology of Dr. Carl Jung infers that these images emanate from Collective Unconscious, those parts of the psyche that all people share, and thus reveal the fundamental structure of the human psyche. In the Neo-Jungian Psychology of Dr. Robert L. Moore, the chief archetypes of the male psyche are King, Warrior, Magician, and Lover.  Exploring and understanding how these archetypal energies are showing up in our lives can help us to use our life forces to our optimal benefit.
