You can change your lifestyle for the better from the outside, and it will benefit you up to a point, but unless you shift your body, soul and spirit out of default fear mode and into consistent heart mode, tough love indicates that you won’t deliver lasting change.

Archetypes can influence the quality of your inner life, which in turn flows into your exterior world. They can affect your thoughts and emotions, the decisions you make, and the actions you take.

Every archetype generates energy that you can then direct in a constructive or destructive way. How you recognise, direct and express the energy of an archetype is what makes the difference.

Archetypal energy is neutral. The positive and negative sides of an archetype are not separate sources of energy. They are the different and optional ways that you can express the energy. The positive side contains the archetype’s gifts and opportunities. The negative side contains its traps and obstacles. When you Self-author an archetype, you expose both sides of the whole archetype in its current state. You identify what in your present time awareness. 

Self-authoring your archetypes in conjunction with your personal energy centres is like learning to work with your own electrical system instead of against it.

Self-authoring an archetype allows you to become more aware of the energy available to you. You can balance your energy, recharge it, retrieve lost energy, and return unwarranted energy. By recognising when your archetypal patterns are helping you or hindering your thoughts, emotions, decisions and actions, you can consciously direct that energy into your highest potential, because now you have identified it.
