The Achievers/Boy-Mother Pattern
(Conscious Boychild, Subconscious Mother)

People who have a dominant conscious Boychild archetype and a subconscious Mother archetype. People who have a Boy-Mother pattern are achievers. They are movers and shakers in life. They get things done. They are self-sufficient, can accomplish just about anything and tend to have their way with the world.

Boy-Mothers are very popular and people tend to congregate around them. Conscious Boychild dominates the room by the shininess in his eyes and the sheer excitement that emanates from him. He does not see anything lacking in himself and sets out to fill all the gaps outside of himself. He is always checking, “Who can benefit from my presence now?”

Boy-Mothers are also good leaders in a time of crisis. They lean on the arm of objective reality, which is their place of strength. As a result, they tend not to get involved in artistic or philosophical pursuits. They revel in having Mother Nature expose her special gifts to them through science.

Their greatest strength lies in discovering how things work and then putting them into a form that everyone else can understand. Most people feel inferior to them, because they are so smooth, quick and competent.

Boy-Mothers also know what attracts people subconsciously, which makes them excellent in sales and marketing, where they can easily get others to appreciate a concept or a product. They tend to keep such tight control over their own mind that they believe it gives them the right to control others.

Boy-Mothers are oftentimes good athletes who can tough it out and compete unto the end. They have mastery over their physical environment and tend to rebel against that which they cannot taste, touch or see. They generally do not seek out personal counseling or group therapy, because they tend not to find anything wrong with themselves.

Boy-Mothers are often driven by emotional aloofness. This can be a good thing. Like a surgeon, it gives them the ability to dissect a situation from stem to stern without thinking twice about it. It can also turn Boy-Mothers into bullies who have no scruples, because they are aloof to outside feedback. They can use people—and when the other person’s use runs out, the relationship is over. Even though they can be the most formidable adversaries, they generally want to feel connected to others, but they are often hampered by their emotional aloofness. They prefer to dominate a situation superficially than to give of themselves in an authentic way.

Boy-Mothers bear incredible gifts, talents and abilities, and we do not want to cut ourselves off from them. We must simply remember that they are used to getting their way in life and do not want to give that up. Boy-Mothers can improve their relationships by delving deep into their subconscious ability to nurture life. The more they learn to put other people’s needs before their own, the more they will attract the quality of relationship they secretly yearn for.
