“If you’re going to have a story, have a big story.”– Joseph Campbell The first four Archetypes ( Innocent, Orphan, Warrior and Caregiver) help us prepare for the journey. We start the journey as the Innocent and learn optimism and trust. At some point there is a “fall” and we become Orphans who feel disappointed, abandoned and betrayed by life (especially the people who were supposed to care for us) but teach us to care for ourselves and to stop relying on other people. Ironically, the orphan feels so powerless and helpless that its best strategy for survival is to find others to provide mutual support. The Warrior helps us learn to set goals and develop strategies to achieve them like courage and discipline. Eventually the Caregiver becomes active we learn to take care of others and eventually how to take care of ourselves as well. The four attributes of these Archetypes: Basic optimism, the capacity to band together for support, the courage to fight for yourself and others and compassion to care for yourself and others provide the basic skills for living in society. But if this is all we can do we will feel unsatisfied with our lives, even though we have learned what is necessary to be both moral and successful in the world.
