Apollo the sun god is the archetype of the one who finds
life quite easy and enjoyable.
Goals are realistic and worked towards logically and persistently but
lacks drive to make it to the top.
The word archetype describes what Carl
Jung identified as patterns of
behaving that arise from the collective unconscious of humankind. The
pattern of being is not unique to an individual; it is available to
manifest in each of us because we each reflect a part of the whole.
To recognize Apollo active within your life look
for...
Curious and inquisitive about the world
successful at anything the mind is put towards
wants to master skills
lives more in the mind and thoughts rather than body
and emotions
Possible drawbacks to
living the Apollo archetype...
Inability and unwillingness to connect emotionally and
intimately
More concerned with own thoughts and judgments than
emotions and communicating with others
In later years may find all that was important up until
then is now meaningless.
This information has been summarized from the book Gods
in Everyman
by Jean Shinoda Bolen.
If you recognize your patterns of acting and being in the world from
the above list and are curious about what you can do to change, then
first and foremost use this information as proof that you are not
different, defective or a victim of your past programming.
The above shows the commonality in the human experience when certain
innate energies are active. As such begin by accepting that you
do indeed own these particular traits and let it be ok that you do.
This will slightly raise your self-esteem and self-acceptance for each
trait you own.
