Greetings on this Father’s Day – Every culture has its own history of Festive celebrations revealing a treasure trove of archetypes that model how to be in the world – which then informs what the world will become. These narratives & Festivals were how social patterns formed – Before the distorted lens of the screen, or a bought & sold history written by the conquers, like we see more & more today. Thru the revival of archetypes which provide us with rolemodels, we can re-discover what it means to be a ‘good’ human being, inspiring our best selves & imparting to our children who they can become.
Somehow my karma brought me a narcissistic father, who was abused by his dominating mother, who in turn sexually abused me. For years I sought to understand, working hard to justify it all by delving into the ancient mysteries where incest was the royal way. Jungian psychology, doing ceremony, creating empowerment circles for woman, & most of all, the Cognitive-Ritual of Spiritual Science saved my life. Working thru this karma made me who I am: fierce & independent, never one to submit. I broke the pattern, & didn’t marry until I was 41 years old - Finding a man who could hold the archetype of the Good Man with grace. I am truly blessed.
Today being Father’s Day, let’s ponder what it can mean to be ‘a Good Man’? How can a good man be the ‘Good Father’ – to himself, his children & for the world?
I love this short list of Archetypes: King What are some their Qualities?
The Benevolent King: Shows Leadership, has Strategic Vision – based on Divine Wisdom, is Decisive, Inspired, a Fair Judge, Charismatic, full of Integrity, Unselfish – Empowering of others – a Blessing bestower, Humble, Holds Authority with Order & Structure…I particularly love this idea of Benediction – A King who gives a blessing bestows upon another the inspiration to go forward & make the best use of their talents to get the job done -Recognizing that ‘Authority’ must come from within.
The Protector/Warrior: Is above all Courageous, Merciful, Strong in Body, Soul & Spirit, Disciplined, Determined, Reliable, Focused, a Tactical Risk Taker who can think on their feet, Gaining achievement thru Endurance, & Loyality…A good warrior displays valor – rather than being driven by blood-lust – they are reliable & loyal, rather than seeking to take over. The Warrior has total focus on implementing the required tactics to accomplish the strategy set by their inner King/Queen. Strength & endurance needs to be physical, mental & emotional. Their characteristic quality of service enhances their sense of duty.
The Mage/Magician: Must be Wise, Intuitive, Perceptive, Insightful, Knowledgeable, is inwardly Powerful, has earned Mystic vision, using his gifts for the higher good, a Respected – helpful Mentor…The Magician can be a teacher bestowing knowledge & wisdom to better ‘know thyself’. This is empowering to others & brings out the ‘magic’ in them. In cultural myth, the Magician seeks wisdom not for its own sake, but so that they may better understand, serve & mentor. Many Magicians have a supernatural gift demonstrated perhaps thru music, art, speech, charisma…They use this ability to enhance the lives of others rather than for personal gain.
The Lover: is Authentic, Compassionate, Affectionate, Caring, Empathic, Altruistic, Open-Hearted, Honest, Trustworthy, able to appreciate Beauty, has Vitality, is Generous, Celebratory…The unconditional Lover shares these qualities to enhance & improve the lives of others – Fostering the energy & power for living in harmony. Their appreciation for the beauty they see around them is an inspiration to others – The earth, the sky, the passing breeze. The Lover takes the moments of beauty seen in the little things, like the smile of a child, or an old lady, & makes sure that moment is not missed. Living in Celebration is the quality of being able to stop, breathe, look around & see what joy there is in life. The Lover knows how to comfort & sustain.
I love this song by XTC – Greenman
What would it be like to bring the qualities of: King – Warrior – Magician – Lover, to life in the world? Blessings on all who embody the Good Father - The True human being! ~hag
