Thinking Outside the Archetypes

[ricdaw]

It is a blueprint of all energy exchanges, which means that we don't get to have energy exchanges that are not described by the archetypes. However, that does not limit the variety of energy exchanges; it only limits the materials out of which energy exchange is constructed.

I have a different way of thinking about the archetypes, but I don't know if my way of thinking makes any practical difference. 

I see them as the natural containers into which the experiences in the Earth Life School flow.  They are big cups collecting the Universal energy/rain, each a different shape and size.  When full, the entity drinks of the archetype and then knows about the cup.  But this analogy presumes that some experiences, some "energy exchanges." are not captured by the cups/archetypes, like rain which falls to the ground and is lost/ignored.  I guess examples of this "lost rain" would be casual chat with someone.  Our jobs and work and most of the "time" we spend here involves energy exchange, but it is (for the most part) trivial and non-archetypical in nature.  It is ignored.  (Think TV or playing solitaire.)

But the energies exist, and they still interact with me; they just don't matter and don't collect into critical archetypical mass.

To me, the archetypes are our natural in-born rain collectors.  Each of us has these 22 cups, but only two hands.  So we gather water in several of these over a lifetime.  If we plan it right, we will get to drink from one or more of these cups and to "experience the archetype."  Other experiences and energy exchanges do occur, there is energy for them, but we are "tuned" to find significance only in these 22. 

Experiences and energies don't spring from the archetypes.  They are not the basis for all experience, but they are the basis for all meaningful experiences.

Anyway, that's my weird take.
