What are archetypes?

When we were born we came in with a clean slate but as time went by we became conscious of how people expected us to act and behave. Our family, friends, teachers, peers, culture and society had a great influence on shaping our beliefs. When we took on other people’s beliefs and fears by blindly embracing their views we got depleted and drained of life’s energy.

Your beliefs affect every part of your life. They affect your health, relationships, wealth and everything that you do. Have you considered that your beliefs might just be the thoughts that you accept to be true? If you don’t figure what your beliefs are and you take them for granted thinking that everything will work out for your good, it will eventually catch up with you until you’ve sorted it out.

We need to identify our belief system if we are to continue with our journey in this life. We all have a belief system but we may not know how it affects our lives.

A belief system supplies us with a core set of values or rules on which we base everything we believe, say or do. Our conscious mind then takes these rules and realigns them which makes it easier to process and then stores it in our subconscious mind.

A belief is more than what you think is true. It is a succession of filters through which we interperate what we see, which will be supported through our actions. We perceive the world through our five senses, our emotions and what we place our attention on. When we agree to the limiting impressions of any ideas or opinions that we have received from our parents, family, peers or our culture, then these ideas become beliefs and we eventually take action according to those beliefs.

You have probably heard the saying that we create our own reality, but most often we are doing so unconsciously. How can we consciously create our reality? And how do our belief systems play a part in that creation? Where do these beliefs come from? Can we change them and if so how do we do that?

Our feelings create memories which are stored in our subconscious mind. These memories are passed down to us from generation to generation. We then play a role based on these memories. We play the role of the damsel in need of rescue, or the scrooge, enchantress,or beggar. These roles that we play are made apparent through archetypal patterns.

What are archetypes? Archetypes are patterns that are universally recognised. We see archetypes in fairy tales, movies, myths, and literature. When you watch a movie what part do you see yourself playing - the role of the hero, the princess that needs to be rescued, the underdog, victim or the warrior?

We talk to each other through symbols and it’s also the way that we describe ourselves to each other. Do you find yourself exasperated at someone who is always whinnying? We describe them as a victim. Do you want to kick yourself or others when you or they mess up? Do you feel like a bully? Do you always use laughter or jokes and act the “clown” so that you don’t have to take a look at yourself? Or use service and suffering for means of control and manipulations and take on the role of a martyr?

Although we use this language everyday to describe ourselves and others we are unaware that this symbology can be used to get a deeper understanding of who we are. These archetypal patterns and stories have been handed down to us in the memory of our DNA from our ancestors when we were born.

Many archetypes dance with each other, like knights and damsels, teacher and student, advocate and victim. Whether we know it or not we play these roles repeatedly.When we become aware of the role that the archetypes play in our lives we are able to see what excites us and what kind of relationships we are drawn to. This awareness increases our level of consciousness and helps us to make better choices.

Each archetype has a light and shadow side to it. The shadow side holds us back from what we want. It manifests itself in us as being stuck, depressed, and fearful. The light side of the archetype connects us with the perfect blueprint of our soul, our higher essence and purpose.

Archetypes assist us in identifying what is in our subconscious. They demonstrate both the light and the shadow that is connected to every archetype. The light areas of the archetype are readily recognised and accepted, while we project onto others the shadow side. They help us to recognise the unconscious aspects of ourselves and help to awaken those parts of us that have been asleep and lying dormant.

It is through the understanding of these archetypal patterns that we are able to bypass the illusions of the matrix and get a clear picture of what is going on in our subconscious mind. Becoming aware of which archetype is playing out in your life will allow you to release the major programs that have been with you since birth.

It will cause you to stop, take a step back and take stock of what is happening. That will help to keep the focus on yourself and not on the other person or circumstance. There is no choice without awareness.

In the EIP (Eliminating Interference Patterns) that I teach we use the information gathered from the archetypes to help you discover and release the blocks that a particular pattern that has been set up in your belief system. For instance if you are looking for the ideal job and you have not been able to find it, the archetype of the miser might show up in the process which would reveal a DNA belief patterning of “not enough.” In other words the vibration that is being sent out to the universe is “not enough” because that is what you are resonating. When this vibration is released from your DNA you will attract “more than enough” into your life.

You can participate in the “Powerful Group Healing and Deeksha Blessing” teleseminar dealing on finances, relationships and emotions respectively using the EIP process on:
