Discover both the light and the shadow aspects of the archetypal pattern of the Divine Child.
Here is some interesting information on the topic of The Divine Child. This archetype pattern may feel uncomfortable owning. It suggests a special divine connection, which may fail to recognize that it also has a shadow side. The archetype of the demi-god is found in nearly every culture in either religion or mythology, and is an important part of human spirituality in which man and God come together as one.
Religion and Mythology
One of the most iconic images of the Divine Child archetype is the baby Jesus. Some have referred to Jesus as the living Divine Child. This is reflected in the baby Jesus being visited by the Magi who witness his birth in the stars and bring gifts to honor the god-child. But there are other characters that depict this concept. Similarly in Egyptian mythology, the god Osiris fathers a child with the human mother, Isis, without sexual union. The infant Buddha was visited by wise men who proclaimed his divinity. He was also visited by a wise hermit who wept at the sight of the baby Buddha and proclaimed that the child would end ignorance and light the way for future generations. The baby Krishna of the Hindu tradition is visited by shepherds and a wise man who brings gifts to the baby Krishna and proclaims him to be the Savior of the Hindu people. All of these characters represent the archetype of the Divine Child. Continue reading →
This month at Temple de Lumiere we celebrated the archetype of the Enchantress, which was presented by Souzi Wilson. I would like to acknowledge Souzi for her wonderful presentation that centered around family, forgiveness and sensuality. Her message really brought home the power of love and forgiveness. At the end of Souzi’s story she graced us all with a joyful song that she wrote called “Forgive Yourself”. Thank you again Souzi for sharing your beautiful voice and story with us.
The other part of our morning was spent exploring the four realms of consciousness and how these different levels of reality are not just some lofty experience we have in meditation, but rather they are indeed real levels of experience in our daily life. What follows is a description of how we can work with each of our archetypes in these realms to fulfill our true purpose in life.
Physical Realm (OUR EARTHLY NEEDS)
What is the nature of your life purpose? This is where you draw on the qualities of your particular archetype in the physical sense. This archetype helps you to stay focused on your true nature in your life/business/vocation. By identifying with the particular attributes of this cornerstone you gain finer distinctions regarding WHAT your foundational aptitude is and then accordingly activate it in your life. This archetype is the driving force behind the way you present your self in the world.
Emotional Realm (FEELINGS & RELATIONSHIPS)
Why are you in this particular vocation/relationship? This archetypes true power stems from its emotional nature and is the one you draw from to get your message across. The way to be attractive in your vocation/life is by appealing to the emotional needs of your particular relationships/market or audience. Authenticity is paramount and this is the realm of feelings, so coming from your heart and rather than your head is the best way to deliver your communication/message. By applying the attributes from this archetype, rather than trying to copy someone else’s mode of conduct, you will feel comfortable and more confident in your style and delivery. When you are emotionally connected to WHY you are sharing your vision or your life, people will respond accordingly.
Spiritual Realm (CREATIVE PROCESS & SKILLS)
How do you like to operate and relate in your vocation? Here is where you connect to HOW you like to be creative; the way you like to express your inner resources and abilities. Ask yourself what creative systems/modalities do you like to work with the most. The attributes of this archetype will signify what sustains your inner world, your spirit. When you are unable to serve this part of yourself, it will show up in your vocation. A lack of spirit is not attractive; where as a vision that is alive with your own personal spark is what keeps people interested. The great thing about this insight is you don’t have to do anything but be yourself and be a creative expression of your vision in your life.
Celestial Realm (ALLIANCE & EXCELLENCE)
Who are the people you want to serve or team up with? This is the key to finding out what your true niche is. This is how to best serve the people you are in alignment with in the world. These are the people WHO want to benefit from your highest and most refined talents. This is where you really shine; using the attributes of this particular archetype will help you identify and attract the people who want to listen to you, buy your products and use your services. These attributes are the key to revealing your true excellence and perfected nature. This is you matching your intention with the intention of creation and evolution.
We are not meant to only respect each other’s differences, we are meant to love them – that is the Creators intention.
Pathways of Light are a valuable component of the Living Attributes system. There are three combinations and streams of energy defined as your pathways of light. Each pathway (contemplation, devotion, activation) has an important function that instructs you at a soul level of how to use your light. These light streams are what activate and illuminate the Cornerstones of your Sacred Temple.
What this means is that each Cornerstone has a particular relationship with the light. For example, the archetypical patterns in Contemplation are the collectors and weavers of light, while the patterns in Devotion are the receivers and givers of light and the archetypical patterns in Activation are the transformers and activators of the light.
Each one has a valuable and unifying function in the larger divine matrix. Understanding and following the divine order of our personal patterning creates a rhythmic and cosmic beauty and a creative platform for the birth of unity consciousness. In each realm, there is another person’s archetype patterning (cornerstone) that can support yours.
For example if you have the archetype of ‘the visionary’ in the Emotional Realm you could work with ‘the teacher‘ who is also in the Emotional Realm to help format your ideas, they could receive what you have collected and help you by giving back to the whole; the community, the world, which ultimately creates the reality of unity consciousness.
Contemplation – FROM THE CREATOR collectors and weavers of the Light
This is where you receive WHAT it is that you need to do in your life. This cornerstone or these cornerstones are connected to the light stream for true inspiration. A place you visit within, which opens you to your Divine guidance.
Devotion – FOR THE CREATOR receivers and givers of the Light
This is where you receive WHY you do it. These cornerstones are the portals to the power of being fully present. This light stream is where you match your intention with Gods intention.
Activation – WITH THE CREATOR transformers and activators of the Light
This is where you receive HOW you do it. These cornerstones are the portals for the light streams of motivation and initiation. This is where you find your pathway of – “For the greater good of all.”
As you can see, we all connect with the Creator in different ways. Some through pure intention, others connect in the doing and being with others or nature, while others prefer to emerge in the arts or meditation. It’s fascinating and somehow comforting to know.
The precious gift I see in all our diversity is that we are the way we are for reasons we can’t even fathom. If we could see the true beauty in the order of all our complexities, we would indeed witness the true nature and glory of THE CREATOR.
I invite you to share some of your valuable differences and insights.
This month at Temple we celebrated the Festival of Story Telling and the Teacher archetype and the attribute expressive.
In my opening presentation at Temple yesterday, with much jubilation, I announced it was our 1st Birthday. So much has been shared, experienced and discovered in that 12 month period. Plus it was our first Festival of Story Telling, which proved to be fantastic. I spoke on my favorite topic; STORY……….. Here is my story about story.
I believe our human story began with the evolution of human consciousness, which then started to build the earths noosphere (the thinking layer of earth). When men and women began to share their stories; their art, on the walls of their caves we began to grow our ability to relate to each other. Some how we knew it was important to tell of our experiences, how we hunt, how we travel, how we live and how we dream. It became a quintessential part of our human experience, the ability to tell story is indeed our rudimentary foundation. Simply put, with out story we don’t know what we believe in, but with story we can define our heritage, find meaning in what matters to us and learn what is good and bad. Story can be fact or fiction and still have the same effect, if we can relate to the characters or images in a story we can be moved by its message. Story doesn’t always have to deliver a profound message, it can simply be delightful, humourous or even practical.
I always see story in three parts, it has a past, a presentand a future.
The amazing discovery about story for me was, we are the story, there is no story without us. Because without us, coupled with the brilliance of imagination there is no story to tell. Everything you see, hear, taste, touch and think about has a story attached to it. It may not be an amazing story, but never the less it still has its own story.
All story has its contributing value, it may be good, it may be bad or it may be neutral, what ever it is, its still contributing to the collective consciousness.
What is your story?
What is your back story, what is your present story and does your future story have a brightness of future? Perhaps you have taken on a story that doesn’t match the one you want to share with the world. There is only one time to start a new and inviting story and it is NOW! Start creating the story that you want to contribute to humanity. Be the story you want to hear, be the story that new and exciting generations are built from……
Express yourself!
I would also like to thank Cherie for her generous contribution. Cherie shared her experience of having a Teacher archetype. She exquisitely expressed her personal story and how not knowing parts of our authentic story can fundamentally change who we are. The reveal of her beautiful and heartfelt story was a true gift, she contributed the power of story through her own story. Magnificent Cherie, thank you.
Love Elizabeth
I invite you to share your thoughts and feelings on the power of story?
Yesterday, we had a wonderful summer Temple – the weather was glorious. This year’s new development of breaking the morning up into meditation, then a lesson was a great success. The power of our group meditation infused with the light of the angelic forces opened our hearts to a whole new level of life generating energy. We powered up to a level of resonance, which was highly effective, creating order in our system and giving us the ability to heal on many levels. I know my body has felt incredibly relaxed ever since our time together in meditation. I meditate every day and love it, but meditating as a group is a very different experience.
Our coming together and going to that level, has started to build an amazing group resonance that in turn is creating a coherence in the unified field of consciousness. Of course, it would, if we are part of that field we are most definitely going to have an effect on it. When we look at it from that point of view, we see how being responsible for our energy, is much more import than we like to think. How we think and feel has a direct response in the collective field.
As the Jedi in Star Wars would say (Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Luke) “Be mindful of the Living Force”.
Which brings me to the second half of our morning that focused on the Hero archetype. One of our wonderful temple sisters Sally, who has the Hero archetype and has been working with it for a couple of years now, gave a short lesson on what being a hero means to her. She told her story beautifully and inspired us to remember that we all have a heroic nature, which we can call on at any time. Thank you again, Sally, for sharing with us, it was great.
Well, that’s it for now, look forward to seeing you at temple next month – Sunday, March 25th for a great meditation and lesson, this time it will be on the Healer archetype.
Till then “May the force be with you”

What have the benefits of doing group meditation been for you?
