Random Archetype Insights

[MangusKhan]

This quote is interesting and I want to know what others think about the attractions to the archetypes to male and females??

What qualities do you want to develop to be a man? I mean to be a real and mature man. (Immature is a sissy or a macho)

In Jungian system there are four male archetypes: king, warrior, magician and lover.

Ra said: "For instance, in your ritual performed to purify this place you use the term “Ve Geburah.” It is a correct assumption that this is a portion or aspect of the One Infinite Creator. However, there are various correspondences with the archetypical mind which may be more and more refined by the adept. “Ve Geburah” [the 5th sephirot] is the correspondence of Michael, of Mars, of the positive, of maleness." The Cabalistic Tree of Life also has the pillar of severity. I rather see it as the male pillar although it is said to be feminine. Metaphysical meaning of male/female is supposed to be different than on physical plane but I still hold an opinion there is analogy.

But what are these male qualities without the opposite? Don't they come best to expression, potentiation and balance in relation with the opposite?

What an unexpectedly good article. I didn't know AOM had such deep content (I thought it was all dieting tips to max your T-levels). I agree with that last line of your post, and found it kind of silly how the author of the article takes the opportunity to go "Too feminine for me, too new-agey for me" when discussing some aspects of the theory. I guess he's got to convince a certain audience of the manly merit of this kind of study though. Thanks for sharing.
