The Architects of Story: How Archetypes Move Through Us

Hello wondrous Souls,

Today I am talking about Stories, Archetypes and how they shape our destiny.

The concept of archetypes has been shaping the human story for millions of years. They are the architects of narratives, the blueprints of character, and the unseen hands that weave the great mythic patterns of existence. But what does that truly mean? And more importantly, how do we, as individuals, play a role in crafting these stories?

I see it like this—if we are capable of activating attributes like strength, courage, and integrity, then we are equally capable of activating and contributing attributes such as weakness, cowardice, and dishonesty. The stories we tell, and the roles we embody, are not passive occurrences but living, breathing forces that we summon into the world. And if practiced often enough, these energies become pathways—gateways for powerful archetypal forces that shape reality itself.

Archetypes: The Energy Currents Beneath Our Stories

Archetypes are more than characters in myths and legends; they are the primordial forces that guide human behaviour and perception. The Hero, the Teacher, the Healer, the Critic or the Risk Taker—these are not just symbolic figures, but active energies that move through us, waiting to be embodied, refined, or distorted.

Each of us is, in some way, an expression of archetypal energy. We channel these forces through our thoughts, actions, and choices. The more we engage with a particular archetypal pattern—whether consciously or unconsciously—the more we align ourselves with its essence. Over time, our repeated actions strengthen these patterns, making them dominant forces in our lives and in the collective field of humanity.

This is why both light and shadow exist in every archetype. Just as we can channel the Visionary’s foresight or the Divine Child’s generosity, we can also channel the Destroyer’s recklessness or the Tyrant’s greed. These patterns are neither good nor bad on their own—they simply are. It is our conscious interaction with them that determines how they manifest in the world.

The Consequences of the Stories We Live By

If we think of ourselves as living vessels of archetypal patterns, then we must also recognize our responsibility in shaping the larger human story. What we embody does not stay confined within us; it ripples outward. Every thought we entertain, every emotion we nurture, every action we take contributes to a greater field of influence.

Imagine the difference between a world shaped by those who consciously embody Resurrection, Autonomy, and Truth, versus one shaped by those unconsciously perpetuating Victimization, Co-dependency and Falsehood. The archetypal forces at play are the same, but the outcomes are worlds apart.

This is where awareness becomes crucial. The stories we absorb from culture, media, and personal experience influence the archetypal energies we engage with. If we are constantly immersed in narratives of scarcity, competition, and unworthiness, we may unknowingly reinforce those energies within ourselves and the world around us. However, if we attune to stories of plentiful, unity, and blissful, we create a different energetic imprint—one that fosters growth, connection, and evolution.

Story as a Co-Creative Force

Story is not just a marketing tool or a pleasant escape for entertainment. It is a living, co-creative force that seeks to move through us—as humans we are vessels of meaning, carriers of myth, and custodians of the sacred narrative.

Ancient cultures understood this. They did not simply tell stories; they lived them. Myths were more than fables—they were maps of consciousness, instructing people on how to engage with the archetypal energies that shaped their lives. Rituals, initiations, and rites of passage were designed to ensure that individuals did not just inherit a story but embodied it in a way that contributed to the well-being of the collective.

In the modern world, much of this wisdom has been forgotten. Story has been relegated for entertainment and business, and many have become unconscious participants in narratives they never consciously chose. Yet the power of story remains unchanged—it still shapes us, moves through us, and influences the course of our world.

The Invitation to Consciously Shape the Narrative

So the question is not just, What story am I telling?  but, What story is moving through me? And is it one that uplifts, restores, and honours life—or one that diminishes it?

We are not just consumers of stories; we are their architects. With every choice we make, we align ourselves with certain archetypal currents, reinforcing patterns that either sustain the beauty and longevity of humanity or contribute to its unraveling.

This is an invitation: to become conscious storytellers, not just with our words, but with our lives. To recognize that every thought, action, and intention is a thread in the great mythic weave of our existence. An invitation to step into the role of the sovereign co-creator, shaping a world infused with gratitude, compassion, strength, passion, wisdom, forgiveness, joy, courage, and love.

The architects of story are always watching, waiting for us to decide.

What will you choose?

The Power Of Aligned Decisions: Part Two

Protecting Your Focus in a World of Content Overload

In today’s hyper-connected world, we are constantly consuming information—articles, podcasts, videos, and endless social media posts. While knowledge is valuable, too much of it can leave us feeling mentally cluttered and unable to make clear, aligned decisions. Instead of moving forward with purpose, we become stuck in cycles of overthinking and indecision.

This phenomenon is often the result of decision fatigue—the mental exhaustion that comes from processing too many choices without taking action. It’s like being in a car that won’t move. You’re sitting behind the wheel, but without the right preparation, you can’t even start the journey, let alone steer in the right direction.

The Cost of Decision Fatigue

When decision fatigue sets in, we experience:

  • Mental overload and analysis paralysis.
  • Fear of making the “wrong” choice.
  • Avoidance of decisions altogether, leading to stagnation.

In this state, even the simplest tasks can feel overwhelming, leaving us disconnected from our intuition and unable to move forward.

Key Point: Protect Your Focus

To overcome decision fatigue, you must protect your focus. Endless consumption of information doesn’t lead to clarity; it leads to confusion. The more scattered your attention, the harder it is to listen to your inner wisdom and make aligned decisions.

Ask yourself:

  • Does this content support my current priorities?
  • Am I consuming out of curiosity or procrastination?
  • Does this align with my intention, passion and purpose?
  • Will this information move me closer to action?

Protecting your focus means curating what enters your mental space, creating boundaries, and giving yourself permission to step away from the noise.

Distinction: You Can’t Steer a Parked Car

Trying to make aligned decisions without action is like trying to steer a parked car. No matter how much you turn the wheel, you won’t move until you press the accelerator. But before you can even do that, you need to:

  1. Find the Right Key – Identify what truly matters to you. What are your core values and priorities?
  2. Put It in the Right Gear – Prepare yourself mentally, emotionally, spiritually and practically to take the first step.
  3. Work the Pedals – Balance acceleration with control. Sometimes you need to press the gas and move forward; other times, you need to ease up and reflect.
  4. Action fuels clarity. Once you’re in motion, you can make adjustments, refine your direction, and build momentum. But none of that happens if you’re stuck in park.

How to Create Aligned Decisions

  1. Pause and Reflect
    Before consuming more content, ask yourself: Am I searching for answers, or am I avoiding action?
  2. Focus on Essentials
    Limit your inputs to 1–3 trusted sources that align with your values. Too much information scatters your energy.
  3. Integrate Before Moving On
    After consuming content, write down key takeaways and decide on one action step you can take immediately.
  4. Simplify Your Process
    Let go of perfection. Take the next small step, even if it feels uncertain—you can correct your course along the way.
  5. Set Boundaries
    Create space for integration by scheduling time for reflection and implementation, free from “digital distractions.”

From Overwhelm to Alignment

Aligned decisions aren’t born out of overthinking—they emerge through intentional action. The next time you find yourself stuck in the spiral of consuming more content, remember this:

  • Find the right key—know your purpose.
  • Put it in gear—prepare for motion.
  • Work the pedals—balance action and reflection.

And most importantly—start moving. You can’t steer a parked car, but once you’re in motion, clarity will follow.

Your next step? Pause, reflect, and identify one decision you can make today to shift from consuming to creating. Let momentum be your guide.

Keep Surrendering to Your Destiny

Hello beautiful Souls,

Today is January 1st 2025, in Australia, and I felt drawn to continue my conversation on surrendering—I speak of surrendering, not to your fate, but rather your destiny.

Some see surrender as defeat, a giving up of identity or control. But in truth, surrender is not about giving up; it is about giving over and co-creating. It is the graceful acknowledgment that life is unfolding as it should, even when we cannot yet see the full picture.

The Sacred Art of Surrender

To surrender is to place your faith in the unseen forces that guide you. It is to release the tight grip of fear and lean into the flow of divine timing. 

Surrendering is not passive; it requires courage and vulnerability. It asks you to stand open-hearted in the face of uncertainty and trust that your destiny is already woven into the fabric of the universe.

Letting Go of Resistance

Destiny is not something you chase—it is something you align with. Like the river that carves its path through valleys and canyons, your life is shaped by unseen currents of purpose and grace. Surrender allows you to move with those currents rather than against them.

Resistance often stems from fear—fear of the unknown, fear of failure, or even fear of success. But resistance creates stagnation. Imagine a butterfly resisting the transformation of its cocoon, fearing the vastness of the sky. It is only through surrendering to the process of metamorphosis that it gains its wings.

You, too, are in a process of becoming. By letting go of what no longer serves you—old fears, limiting beliefs, and attachments—you make space for your divine essence to rise.

Trusting the Timing of Your Life

There may be times when the path ahead feels unclear. In those moments, it is tempting to force outcomes or retreat into doubt. But destiny unfolds in seasons. Winter may feel barren, but beneath the soil, roots are deepening, preparing for spring.

Keep surrendering, Dear One. Trust that the pauses, delays, and redirections are not mistakes but recalibrations guiding you to where you are meant to be.

The Power of Inner Alignment

Surrender does not mean abandoning your dreams. It means aligning with them. It means listening to the quiet whispers of your soul and stepping forward with faith. When you align with your Higher Self and the Creator, surrender transforms from a leap of faith into a dance with destiny.

Allow yourself to be led. Follow your instincts and the intuitive nudges, the synchronicities, and the gentle openings. Destiny speaks softly, but it always speaks true.

A Prayer for Surrender

In moments of uncertainty, you can open your heart to divine guidance with these simple yet profound prayers:

Dear God, my beloved Creator,
I trust in You, to show me how good my life is and how it can be.
And so it is, Amen.

Dear God, my beloved Creator ~ with gratitude in my heart, I surrender my life to the Divine. I trust that my life is unfolding in perfect harmony.

My heart remains open and I receive the guidance and blessings meant for me. I walk this path with grace and faith, knowing that my destiny is already written in the language of love and light.

And so it is, Amen

These prayers invite you to step into your faith, release your fears, and align with the limitless possibilities of grace. It’s a gentle reminder that life can unfold in ways more beautiful than we can imagine—when we let go and trust.

Embrace Your Destiny

You are not lost. You are being shaped. You are not forgotten. You are being prepared. Each challenge, each delay, and each unknown step is part of a greater story—a story that only you can live.

So, Dear One, keep surrendering. Keep trusting. Keep being at one with your life. The path is already before you, and it leads to the fullness of who you are meant to be.

Let 2025 bring you peace in surrendering and courage in your unfolding. Your destiny awaits.

The New Black Moon in Capricorn: Legacy, Purpose, and Destiny

Jimmy Carter, Bob Dylan, and A Complete Unknown Starring Timothée Chalamet

As I sit with the energy of the New Black Moon in Capricorn, three things have been stirring in my thoughts—the passing of Jimmy Carter, the upcoming film A Complete Unknown starring Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, and this rare lunar moment that invites us to pause and reflect. 

Each of these has touched me in different ways, yet together, they form a larger story about legacy, purpose, and stepping into destiny.

The Black Moon—A Portal for Renewal

A New Moon always feel like a doorways to me—an opportunity to reset, reimagine, and begin again. But Black Moons, with their rarity and depth, feel even more potent. This one, arriving in Capricorn, carries the weight of structure, discipline, and long-term vision.

Capricorn’s energy feels like a quiet but steady call to get serious about what I’m building—not just for today but for years to come. It’s as though this moon is asking me to plant seeds, knowing they may take time to grow, but trusting they’ll stand strong when they do.

As the year closes and new year dawns I find myself asking: 

  • What am I committed to creating? 
  • What legacy am I shaping with my choices?

Jimmy Carter—A Legacy of Integrity

When I heard about Jimmy Carter’s passing, I couldn’t help but reflect on the life he lived—a life rooted in service, humility, and unwavering integrity. 

His words resonate deeply with me:

“It’s up to every one of us to make a basic decision, this is the kind of person that I want to be.”- Jimmy Carter

That line keeps circling in my mind. It feels like a Capricorn mantra—clear, steady, and intentional. It reminds me that the structures I’m building aren’t just external; they’re internal too. Who I choose to be, day after day, shapes not only my legacy but the way I show up for others.

Bob Dylan and A Complete Unknown

Then there’s Bob Dylan—the restless seeker, the voice that reshaped a generation. The upcoming movie A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet, captures the story of Dylan’s rise from obscurity to cultural icon. It’s an archetypal tale of reinvention and stepping into purpose—qualities that feel especially relevant under this Black Moon.

Dylan’s words echo this sense of stepping into destiny:

“I’d come from a long ways off and had started a long ways down. But now destiny was about to manifest itself. I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else.”- Bob Dylan 

There’s something raw and true about that moment—the sense of destiny staring right at you. It reminds me that beginnings often feel uncertain, but they’re also filled with possibility. Like Dylan, I’m learning to trust those moments when something bigger than myself seems to be calling.

And Timothée Chalamet accepting to embody Dylan in the film A Complete Unknown makes me reflect even more deeply on what it means to step into our own larger story, uncertain but determined to follow the rhythm of our soul.

Aligning with the Black Moon’s Energy

This Black Moon feels like an invitation to ground oneself, get clear, and commit to what matters most. 

I’m taking time to do the following and I invite you to also take up this moment:

  • Set Intentions with Purpose—defining not just what I want to create but why it matters.
  • Embrace Discipline and Patience—remembering that lasting change takes time and steady effort.
  • Release Old Patterns—letting go of beliefs or habits that no longer align with who I’m becoming.
  • Trust the Journey—knowing that even when the path isn’t clear, it’s unfolding exactly as it should.

Stepping into the Next Chapter

There’s something about this moment—the combination of Carter’s legacy, Dylan’s rise as told in A Complete Unknown, and the energy of this lunar cycle—that feels like a reminder to trust the work I’m doing. It’s easy to get caught up in results, but Capricorn teaches me that the process—the slow, steady building—is just as important.

So, as I move into this next chapter, I’m letting the Black Moon guide me. I’m choosing to show up with integrity, like Carter, and trust my instincts, like Dylan. 

And I’m committing to the long game—to planting seeds now that will grow into something meaningful later.

This moon feels like the perfect time to honour the past, embrace the present, and step boldly into the future. Whatever comes next, I’m ready to build it—one intention, one step, and one act of faith at a time.
