As elucidated in the “Cult of Hathor-Isis and the Mother Archetype” articles, the Great Mother archetype belonging to the sphere of the Divine Feminine is the single most important archetype, or energy-laden image, held in the collective unconscious of humanity. It transcends any barriers that might pertain to culture, gender, race or creed.
In order to fully grasp the discourse presented in the two articles of the “It’s all Greek to me” educational blog tour entitled, “The Cult of Hathor-Isis and the Mother Archetype” (Part One and Two), it is necessary to provide a brief overview of the Jungian principles used to support my hypothesis on the Divine Feminine and the Great Mother Goddess.
The four blogs presented in this short exposition should be read in conjunction with the two articles presented in the “It’s all Greek to me” educational blog tour, “The Cult of Hathor-Isis and the Mother Archetype”, Part One and Two.
Death anxiety is driving me crazy! Simply put, I need my soul friends. Its been a long time since I visited here. Life has been full of paradox, upheaval, settling... the wheel continues to turn.
Recently in the Ken Wilber meetup group we talked about Jung and Ken Wilber
There are two paths to enlightenment, either transcend it all by saying, I am "not this, not this." - the "male" way. The "female" way is to embody all.
Ken Wilber calls this Freedom vs. Fullness.
At integral (see Don Beck and Ken Wilber), perhaps we do both.
G’day and welcome to my blog! Today I’ll be discussing the connection between the Greek gods and modern analytical psychology, and by analytical I refer specifically to theories pioneered by Carl Gustov Jung.
Have you ever wondered why the Greek gods surround George Washington on the oculus of the dome which adorns the rotunda of the United States Capitol Building? Why are these ancient deities important? Who are they? Why should we open the gates and let them back into contemporary society?

Okay, River, here goes. (Somehow those words seem apropos to start a piece of writing, regardless of punctuation...hmmm, interesting...River here goes, a river goes here....)
I'm working on a new article for my website, and came across this one already posted. Check it out and let me know if you want to add to the discussion. It's about the double-helix and how it's been showing up as a modern archetype, at least in my view....
I have a feeling that when I'm older and reflecting on my experience as a young man, there will be a vital point in the story when I exclaim, "And then I found The Feminine Mystique!" It's bewildering to consider that the work -- which launched the modern feminist movement almost 20 years before I was born -- could relate in any significant way to my own life.
Oh, dear sweet personal power, how I so adore you. As a woman who values personal sovereignty, one might imagine the precept wrought awry by, say, a power play from those in my inner circle.
Some characters like Jack Shephard and John Locke are fairly easy to establish as to what their archetypes are and what paths their characters are on. Both represent, as have been displayed since season one contrasting elements of freewill and fate, respectively. Even some more ambigious characters like Kate Austen and and James "Sawyer" Ford have been forged recently. But what of Sayid Jarrah?
In Tarot, the Major Arcana is a successive system of archetypal energies that are universally part of the human experience- beginning with the Fool and ending with the World/ Universe. Tarot is the story of us, a memetic tool telling the tale of our development based on the many historically acclaimed cultures, societies, and systems of wisdom found world-wide, and, in some cases, universally.
The Template is a holonomic model of transcendence. It links alchemical Ceremony with brain chemistry, bio-circuitry, the endocrine system, DNA, the archetypal arena and the morphogenetic field to reveal the holonomic system of creation which births and binds the Human hologram.
