Archetypes of the ego explanation (IV)

Continuing with the explanation of the 12 archetypes of the ego, let’s see a few more of them:

The Ruler

The Ruler is associated with the creation of psychological wholeness and order The ruler’s goal is the creation of a single, unified, fully  manifested Self. The main function of a Ruler is to order the  kingdom, and the result of the process is a sense of peace, unity, and harmony: all the dispersed pieces come together. A good example is King Arthur of the Round Table.

The Magician

The Magician is the element that can continually heal and transform the Self when the order gets to rigid. It acts as an agent of regeneration and renewal, for oneself and others. That is the part of the psyche that can integrate dark pieces of the Orphan and transform them into usefull energy.

The Sage (Wise)

The Sage is the part of the psyche that is experienced in meditationas the objective Self. It watches our thoughts and feelings, but does not indentify wit hit. In such the Sage help sus face whatever is true in our lives and transcend our smaller selves to be one with cosmic truths. When we stop fighting truth, we can be free.

The Fool

The Fool is the element of the psyche that reprsents multiplicity of consciousness. Like the Court Fool makes fun of the King and everyone around who has power the Fool takes away the trying to make to much sense. He does this ideally without being offensive. The Fool teaches us that we are always expressing one of the sub’s never the one Self. He is the forerunner of the new Self, and being able to laugh with  it, not taking any situation to seriously, he shows to way where to  find our true self.
