The Lover Archetype
LOVER CHILD OF LIGHT
Pleasure and curiosity. Guided by senses. The miracle of being in the body.
What a feeling!
Experience both your sovereignty and your interconnectedness.
Where are your feelings leading or misleading you?
LOVER PROVIDER OF LIGHT
Sensual immersion and connection. Life is met without inhibition. Rising feelings inform the natural flow.
Go with the flow.
Be the flow.
Where do you need a boundary?
LOVER ELDER OF LIGHT
Surrender and ecstasy. In sensual love with life itself. Merging with the rise and fall of the tides of sensation.
I am Thine.
Allow energy to flow freely between your internal and external worlds.
Where have you abandoned yourself or reality in the name of sensual pleasure?
LOVER CHILD OF SHADOW
Projection and longing. The object of desire is separate from self. The pain of perceived separation burns.
Come to your senses.
Use your senses to experience inner wholeness in the present moment.
Can you pause to shift from longing for something “out there” to appreciating something inside?
LOVER PROVIDER OF SHADOW
Hedonism and jealousy. Connection becomes lonely in a desire to possess. Power is a tool for sensual greed. The river swells and the soul submerges.
Heat of the moment.
See the truth that the deeper pleasure is in the reality of what is.
How is jealousy or greed a map to your unmet needs? What are those needs?
LOVER ELDER OF SHADOW
Obsession and seduction. Addiction as escapism. The hungry ghost can not be satisfied.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Use your fire to effect positive change.
What truly satisfies? How do you tend your fire?
