Archetypes & Role Play

You don't need to identify as a King or Queen to desire or to have - power, influence or money.

This is over-identification with an archetype. For example...

In order to receive a man's focused attention and leadership, you need to be a feminine submissive...

Or in order to stop being the nice-guy (the male version of people pleasing) you need to be a high masculine dominant...

Role play gives you permission to be, do, or have something different than the usual, it can provide heat and magnetism, kink, and play. That's fun! Learn from it. Use it. Have consent conversations around it.
But, the role is not you.

Becoming the archetype full time is much like religion, you get a script and all you have to do is play the role.
​
You don't have to think.

You don't have to face the potentially huge void of not knowing what you want or who you are ...yet.

You don't have to come out as your messy self with all your desires, darkness, chaos and kinks.

Don't misunderstand me. I love embodying archetypes and flavors. I have had an on-going personal practice in this realm for years, and a decade of classical tantra lineage training.

Archetypes and flavors have a role to play. They are not who I am. They are not who you are.

Let's allow the dogma to die and live in the open aliveness that is actually unfolding in each moment.

Would you rather live in a defined closed-loop or the open-ended, juicy, undefined dance of creation?

The latter is far more sensational, requiring so much more of you to create intimacy and to be aware, present and engaged.

Just don't make the mistake of believing that any archetype you play is who you are.
​
Your soul essence in form is who you are.

Don't forget it.
