Discover the divine gift of the Inner Family Archetype Model.
Understanding the Inner Family Archetype Model will bless your life!Carl Jung first introduced archetypes as important insights into human behavior. Archetypes convey an energy, a thoughtform that describes an aspect of our psyche. There are four archetypal energies that everyone functions through. These are our inner family archetypes, because they are best described through the concepts of Father, Mother, Boychild and Girlchild.
Like a four-leaf clover, these four archetypes influence our superconscious, conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind in loving and unloving ways. The particular archetypal pattern that we are born with also accounts for some of our core issues and ways or relating to life. As we learn to work with our innate pattern to become the fullness of all four loving energies, we can transcend the core personality differences that we find between people and become more divine. The specific pattern that began to congeal for us at birth, then as a young child and finally crystallizing in our teeenage years influences how we think and feel, what we aspire to and the relationshiup challenges we are more likely to have during our life. Our family background also carries an archetypal influence. The conscious and subconscous pattern is especially key in understanding personality traits, hence, “what are my archetypes?”
Each archetype has a loving and an unloving side. When our archetypes are loving, we outpicture our highest soul potential. When they are unloving, we experience rebellion, fragmentation, pain and isolation.
You have patterned one of these energies more strongly than the others at the level of your superconscious, conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind. The particular energetic pattern you outpicture is your personal archetypal pattern.Knowing your archetypal pattern helps you to better understand the way in which you think, feel and relate to others. It also reveals your deepest aspirations, your hidden vulnerabilities, and even the way in which you perceive God.
When you discover your personal archetypal pattern, you can learn to transform your weaknesses into strengths and become your best self for any given circumstance. Then, you will begin to discern the archetypes that other people function through, so you can relate to them in a more effective and compassionate way.This is very powerful, and actually life-changing.
The conscious and subconscous precipitation or placement of these archetypal energies gives us eight primary personality types.

Sherpas are Himalayan guides and porters renowned for their strength, courage, and joviality. High in the Himalayan mountains, they carry unbelievable weights over great distances, laughing as they go. Climbing the highest mountain is their passion. They embody the maxim “The trek upward is worth the inconvenience.”
Like the Himalayan sherpas, when we learn about our inner family archetypes and strive to replace unloving archetypal traits with loving ones, we fulfill, in our own way, our Radiant Sherpa calling. We each have our own Everest to climb, and as we climb the mountain of self, we assist our own soul and the souls of people who count on us. Step by step, we become adepts of life on the journey home.Becoming a radiant sherpa means striving to greet adversity with joy. It means sacrificing the “not-self,” embracing our higher self, serving others, and surrendering to the divine blueprint that is intended to manifest in our life. Like sherpas, come rain or shine, we press on. We are not afraid to take the high road, to pursue self-improvement, and to become shining examples.
The radiant sherpas make every effort to live by twelve principles. Read more here.
Returning to wholeness means we are centered with all of our loving archetypes present. We no longer act from one archetypal pattern at the exclusion of the others. Our four loving archetypes are integrated. Our Loving Father doing his job of protection. Our Loving Mother is nurturing. Our Loved Boychild is up and doing and our Loved Girlchild is relating to others in the highest possible way, all at the same time.
When we integrate the loving archetypes together, we find sustainable wholeness. Each time we make loving over unloving choices, we add strength to, and integrate more of the loving archetypes. Over time, it becomes easier and easier to stay in the loving archetypes and to rise on the ascending spiral of soul integration with our divine self. This is the true alchemy of everlating transformation that is the full intention, implementation and victory of the Golden Age Psychology.
We can become “instruments of peace,” in the footsteps of Christ and Buddha. We can manifest integrity, honor, wholeness, completeness, balance, constancy and loyalty to the design and blueprint of our higher self manifesting in small or great ways through our daily life.
