Psychological Archetypes

[KriyaYogi]

Hey guys I know you all, especially Alex, talk about mental Archetypes.  This seems very useful for self and social analysis.  Here are a few more interesting references on the topic:


"The psychic counterpart of instinct, archetypes are thought to be the basis of many of the common themes and symbols that appear in stories, myths, and dreams across different cultures and societies. Some examples of archetypes include those of the mother, the child, the trickster, and the flood, among others."

Correct you see them in the Tarot cards, and in the animals game. You also see archetypes in Christ (the Resurrected One) and Shiva and Kali (the divine male and female).
