Spiritual Archetypes: Opening Windows To Your Soul

When we step onto the internal super highway of spiritual evolution, we begin to unravel the differences between personality-influenced desires and authentic inner yearnings of the soul. Every moment presents an opportunity to shed behaviours that no longer serve, and instead allow authentic beingness to shine forth. This continual self-realisation process is far from easy. Sometimes it's difficult to know what is truly authentic. This is where the power of the archetype steps in.

Activating beingness, untangling distortions

My observation is that a Spiritual Archetype is like a spiritual identity. It is an energy that may infuse our being for a given period of time, and cause us to feel a particular way within our relationships with people, and to the world in general.

An Archetype is kind of like a colour filter on a projector. Which the soul takes on for a particular inquiry and revelation of authentic beingness. Such an archetypal filter can enhance particular 'colours' in our soul ray harmonic, that we can see our true light more clearly.

Here are the 9 Rays that constitute your soul-ray-harmonic - what the soul is working to actualise...

Sacred Contracts

In some cases, it may be that we have such a resonance with a particular archetype, that you 'step into their shoes' for a given period on the path.

Consider, for example, the biblical story of Jesus. It contains many insightful characters; Mother Mary, Mary Magdalen, Judas, the disciples etc, etc. The story is widely known, with broad awareness of the various situations, circumstances and 'actors' in the drama. If our soul is caused to relate to it in some way, it can invoke many deep inner feelings. On the one hand, it may catalyse feelings of unconditional love, unity, divine teamwork; on the other, judgment, abandonment, betrayal.

Imagine, for example, how Mary Magdalen might have felt following the crucifixion. Personally, I don't particularly resonate with the concept of the "Sacred or Soul Contract". Because the soul is a free-flowing stream of consciousness. However, the soul will have particular reasons and purposes for incarnation - lessons to be learned. Hence, it will come into particular engagements with people and circumstances so as to learn, evolve, and grow. We may say these are "Sacred Agreements".

We may, for example, have formed predestined agreements with our soul family, or various of the Star Being Nations. Whereby, we would incarnate in particular roles to co-create circumstances in our lives to inspire greater self-realisation.

I also believe that the so-called "Ascended Masters", activate people by resonating their being with particular archetypal energy (of the 9 Rays shown above). I'm sure that's why, for example, there are so many claims in spiritual circles that "so and so is the reincarnation of....". Rather than reincarnations, it's highly likely, in most cases, people are really taking on some of that energy, so as to feel those qualities of beingness inside themselves. And it happens because there's a strong resonance with that character

What purpose do Spiritual Archetypes serve?

In short, by taking on such powerful influences, the Spiritual Archetype helps to shine a light on the true nature of our soul in day-to-day interactions. For example, we may relate empathically to the Buddha, in which case, we may experience a deep compassion for all sentient life and feel exceptionally surrendered and non-attached. Let us be clear though, we are not being the Buddha! We are simply invoking an authentic resonance of our own soul, which might be closely aligned to that vibrational frequency.

In my experience, the Spiritual Archetype energy will stick around in our direct field of consciousness just as long as it takes for us to realise, and unleash, that frequency of energy within our own soul. Following which, it will tend to disappear. We'll lose the sense of identity, once that aspect of soul has fully activated and integrated.

What's really essential if such an archetypal experience engages you on your soul's journey, is to work not to identify with that identity. It could have been that you did incarnate in a particular past identity. However, that is now behind you. And the soul is working to integrate free-flowing expression. So attaching to such archetypes can become highly limiting.

Work with them yes. Let them activate resonances in you. But then, crucially, let them go.

True Colours

Spiritual Archetypes can be a powerful blessing in our unfolding, helping us unveil key aspects of our being. But let's always remember, the soul is working to express itself uniquely in any given moment - it doesn't conform to an identity. If we feel ourselves identifying with one particular energy all the time, the risk is to be creating an inner ego around that consciousness.

The journey of full unfolding is about creating an open space within, ultimately free from all identity, and then allowing our true colours to shine forth, uniquely and spontaneously, as the moment invites. So as the song goes, "Let your true colours shine through, they are beautiful, just like a rainbow!"
