Zeus Greek God as the archetype of the king. The almighty drive for
power that might be active in your life right now - or maybe you want
it to be.
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.

life look for...

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.
