The first to speak of archetypes in psychology was CG Jung, who defined it as patterns of existence or basic schemes and internal-innate behavior, which are rooted in the collective unconscious.
Following Jung, Dr. Shinoda Bolen author of several books on the subject, such as Goddesses and Gods Every Woman Every Man which delves into the development of female and male psychological typology based on Greek mythology, since this narrates the archetypal stories and evokes feelings and images that make up the human heritage.
Goddesses and gods are therefore invisible powerful forces that shape behavior and influence emotions and also interact, affecting every man and woman individually.
Knowing is a huge source of personal power, since the archetypes are potential: parts of ourselves that we can develop to grow and live according to what we really are and want, experiencing the sacred dimension of our lives.
The aim is that the person acquires the ability to use the most appropriate entity in each situation and achieve harmonization of the gods and / or goddesses, who are but parts of oneself.
In addition to discovering our personal myth, we enable others and tune, for among all help us grow and face the vicissitudes of our existence. Thus, through the deities and myths, man directs the archetypes, and not vice versa. For cultures, family and personal circumstances, all assets are some archetypes, while others are asleep.
In subsequent awakenings influence on the various stages through which passes the human being in its development. For example, a woman in her teens can be a Persephone, the maiden without clear goals, connected to their senses and waiting for something or someone able to snatch it, and when you feel her sexuality and begins to have sex with different guys arising she's beautiful Aphrodite, which gives you the ability to love. If one of these relationships is the man in your life, maybe it appears Hera speaking engagement and making dream wedding. Hera who will allow you to be faithful to the man elected. The moment you start to feel the need to create new life, will Demeter which this suggesting the idea of becoming pregnant .At the time, perhaps Athena is expressed to help you move forward and reach their work and make ends meet. And if you have an affair and decides to divorce, invoking Artemis, becoming solidarity with women, independent,
known set goals and achieve them. Maybe at the end of his life and after the experience, you can become a Hestia, the wise and spiritual living alone who seeks solitude to connect with herself.
Likewise, a child can identify with Hermes in his youth; then, fascinated by travel the world with his backpack on his back, trying to conquer all the women in his way, as Jupiter. When he falls in love and arises the desire for emotional commitment invoke Dionysus, the god of sensuality and eroticism, which is able to commit to the woman he loves to be faithful, while Apollo urge you to find a steady job. To raise a family or professionally up, Zeus-Jupiter is also a valuable image. When getting a disease or depression will make a trip to the underworld with Hades, the guide of the unconscious. And if you notice injustice and violence against the people you love, may appear passionate Poseidon, god of the emotions I lash out in anger against the guilty. If you find the DIY or gardening as a means to relax Hefestos be in your thoughts. To address a serious problem arises Ares, the warrior who will give you the ability to fight against all odds.
In any case, it is about making conscious of this process that goes unnoticed .In this way the control is set and the governance of the most important life .What is reached, says Dr. Shinoda Bolen, is that each discover their own myth, as this will take you to be and do that for which it was born. Once discovered this basic scheme of existence in which the person is identified, it is important to promote it.
Although there is a god with whom he identifies more, there are also all others associated with other parts of the self. Therefore it is necessary to harmonize all.
Awareness and development of these inner archetypes, which are the goddesses and gods and their harmonization, leading both women and men to psychic wholeness, it will be able to integrate their internal deities with all its features. Every human being is a whole being, as a faceted crystal ball containing all deities.
Examples:
ARTEMISA, GODDESS OF THE MOON
As goddess of the moon and of hunting, embodies the independent female spirit
The archetype that allows a woman to achieve their own goals in the field of his choice. The Artemis woman feels complete without a man. It also represents the sister, and is this attribute that carries her solidarity with women and defend their rights.
Embodies therefore the idealized qualities of feminism: realization and competence, independence of men and their opinions, and concern for oppressed women.
The lack of Artemis is afraid to be a woman, and in the outside world, disconnected from their feelings. He forgets his seductive or nurturing hand and considers man his enemy, although sometimes behave like him. For an Artemis reaches its fullness should open to emotions and learn to love without fear. The archetypal mother could help her, and Aphrodite would contact their sexuality, showing that love can break down all barriers.
