E24 The Self And Inner Balance |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz “Remember that your perception of the world is a reflection of your state of consciousness.” Eckhart Tolle Good news! We are not forever stuck in the loop of expressing ourselves in the world to experience transient unity and then returning to suffering. If the Self were only the Ruler, the cycle of suffering and redemption might be endless. Fortunately, this stage also incorporates the Magician, the Sage and the Fool into the journey. On the psychological level, each of the four Archetypes is an aspect of the integrated Self. When all four are in balance, the psyche is peaceful and the cycle of suffering and healing is suspended. The Ruler is associated with the creation of psychological wholeness and order. The Ruler’s goal for the psyche is the creation of a single, unified, fully manifested Self. The Magician is the element that can continually heal and transform the Self when the order gets too rigid. The Magician is the part of the psyche that can integrate the Shadow and transform it into useful energy. The Sage is the part of the psyche that is experienced in mediation as the objective Self. It watches our thoughts and feelings and is the Wise Old Woman or Man in our dreams who gives trustworthy counsel. The Fool is the element of the psyche that represents multiplicity of consciousness and continually undercuts our sense of a unified Self. The Fool teaches us that we are always expressing our Selves in the world, not a single Self. Together these four major Archetypes help us be integrated and responsible, healthy and connected, honest and wise, multifaceted and joyous. They are the reward at the end of the journey. When the Ego dominated, we lived in a world of scarcity, but now things feel abundant.
