Earth Archetypes

Earth is the season of “harvest”

Oh, I know that isn’t really a season, but in terms of the flow of energy in Nature, aka Natural Law, that was a point of distinction.  Not a full season, but the bounty of all our efforts.  Measuring, literally, “What you sow, you shall reap.”  And then you rest.

The bible seems to understand Natural Law!?!

The Earth element is developed within us from the nurturing care and safety of your mother.  “I will care for all your needs, and if anyone gets through the protection of your daddy, they will find a pissed off Momma Bear!”

And then, when we make cookies together, I get irritated by misses and mistakes instead of nurturing and teaching.  I got waaaay better…

By the time we had Westy, I was pretty good.  He was around 3 and decided to help in setting the table.  I heard silverware crashing to the floor and ran into the kitchen.  “Westy, what are you doing?”  His little eyes looked up at me and said, “I wanna help.”

I helped him count out 7 forks and spoons, and instructed how to put them beside the plates, and he felt the value of contributing to a larger cause.  Significance.

Someone taught our culture that significance means being better than someone, and somehow that got translated into being right.  That couldn’t be more wrong.  Telling someone that they are bad or wrong isn’t significance.  Significance is helping someone.

In our culture it is very significant to entertain.  To make people feel and laugh.  And yes, that helps.

The Earth energy is our harvest and our value, and it develops the Revolutionary and the Everyperson.

The Revolutionary is the masculine version of finding a better way.  “OMG, you sliced the bread.  Revolutionary.”  In our current culture, the Revolutionary is called the Outlaw, because if you don’t do things the way the Man tells you to, there is something wrong with you!

That sounds like an abusive man, and the feminine should protect the imagination of innocence.

The Everyperson is the feminine version of nobody left behind.  “Hey little one, come and join the group.  You are just as important as anyone else, and you will get your fair share.”

If the Everyperson does not receive nurturing or the safety of a mother, she will not value herself.  She may shift out of balance toward the Yin, the feminine.

The Sellout:  No, not the stool pigeon…she sells out her own needs and desire for the inclusion of others.  While Jesus sacrificed with honor, her sacrifice is viewed as inappropriate to the needs being met.

The Rescuer:  She endangers her life and her feminine values for the protection of another.  Perhaps not allowing someone to feel the consequences of bad behavior?

She may shift out of balance toward the Yang, the masculine.

The Fanatic:  She shifts more black and white, with feminine sensitivity, so anyone with a different perspective becomes a criticism of their own.  “How dare you attack me, by choosing differently.  Clearly you are calling me an idiot for what I chose.”

The Patriot: She now feels justified to attack, to hurt and criticize others to defend her beliefs and perspective.  “My way is the only way.”  Nearly 100% man.

Edith is the Sell-out.  Archie is the Patriot.  Meathead is the Rescuer, of Gloria, the Fanatic.  Robert did the Fanatic some justice too!

If the Revolutionary does not receive nurturing or the safety of a mother, he will not value himself.  He may shift out of balance toward the Yin, the feminine.

The Malcontent:  She focuses all her energy on what is wrong, and doesn’t move forward with the solution, so she is challenged to be happy or satisfied with the way things are.

The Counter-culture:  She decides that anything counter to the trends is the best direction, without actually evaluating the circumstances.

He may shift out of balance toward Yang, the masculine.

DrStone as Esther, his Feminine half

The Radical: This dude has defined himself by the fight against everything that is.  Some people see me as a Radical because I have helped the blind to see and the crippled to walk,  I stand firmly on feminine values, and I paint my fingernails.  But I ain’t fighting anyone.  I help people feel better every day.  I am sorry that Big Medicine, a trillion dollar per year Bizness, finds me to be a Radical because I won’t comply with their way, which is that medical conditions can not and MAY NOT be helped.

The Paranoid: This dude feels attacked.  Convinced that the trend, the mainstream, the way things are, are trying to end his perspective.  But if the mainstream controlling power takes your money away for helping a woman with a medical condition, I think you might be right.  They are trying to end your perspective.

Yes sir, the masculine is trying to end the feminine perspective.  The respect for people and Mother Earth.  Nothing hurts my heart more than a mother hardening her innocent children and baby girls, to survive in this hard world.  But that is not understanding the feminine.  That is not seeing where this direction leads.  That is NOT including every perspective.  And that may lead to our demise.

“Everything on this planet has evolved, to kill humans.”  After Earth.
