Ten Archetypal Attributes of Our Source: An Integral Noetic Perspective
My working assumption is that the most valid and reliable spiritual-psycho-physical evidence for truth is best derived from the scientific and intuitive study of Nature (an alternative to ancient books). It seems to follow that we human beings reflect the full continuum of values inherent in the attributes of our “cosmic role model� as expressed through the various and sundry acts of Nature. It also appears to follow that our Source condones all behavior which it-she-he uses, and has endowed us with responsibility for freedom of choice among those same behaviors, and the consequences thereof.
On those working premises I have drawn from my observations of Nature’s behavior a list of ten archetypal ‘families’ of attributes characterizing our Source. Those prototypical attributes include: experimenter, conceiver, birther, developer, healer, preserver, harmer, diminisher, destroyer, and recycler (it is significant that some of those may be in what Jung called “the shadow�).
These ten attributes appear evident in the processes our Source uses throughout the cosmos (at least as far as we can see), all the way from evolving and revitalizing all temporal biological systems, to at the same time, maintaining a healthful balance of nature. Each of these ten attributes carry potential for good or ill. In other words, any time we act on one intention we may experience its opposite as well. For example, when we create health, we destroy disease, and conversely. To illustrate, a surgeon may help recreate a healthy body by destroying a cancerous tumor.
A key to healthful living seems to be acceptance of both the positive and negative values followed by making healthful choices, situation by situation.
A general overview of our Source’s ten archetypal attributes, hence ours too in microcosm, is outlined in the attached chart. It is important to note the caveats attending each of the ten attributes.
This chart can be used as a set of options for team members to consider when sharing how they perceive group use of the attributes and changes they may want, followed by action planning for effecting the desired changes.
