Hello and welcome to the Archetypes Soul Pathway Podcast Series here on Insight Timer,
Where we explore Jung's Archetypes as we connect with our spiritual journey and soul pathway and we raise our consciousness and awareness.
Within this recorded audio,
We are going to be exploring the archetype of the ruler and then I'm going to be providing you with a short guided meditation to assist you with connecting and embodying the ruler within you so that you can begin ruling your internal and external kingdoms.
Let me first of all share with you my soul pathway oracle card here.
Now the ruler archetype is the control we have over ourselves and others.
Initially this may manifest in manipulative behaviors or we may feel helpless and unwilling to accept responsibility.
When awakened,
We find a unified state within that allows us to govern ourselves and others from a place of integrity.
If you are connecting with the energy of the ruler however,
Notice how you influence others and lead from the heart.
Take healing if you find you feel powerless within certain aspects of your life.
Develop new skills,
Utilize your resources and create structures which allow you to fairly and wisely rule your internal and external kingdoms.
The ruler is a symbol of wholeness and the achievement of self,
Not just in its formative and tentative stages but as an expression of ourselves in the world and an expression powerful enough to transform our lives both inwardly and outwardly.
Let me now share with you the layers of consciousness within the ruler archetype.
As often the ruler gets a bad reputation and image,
Though each and every archetype has beauty within it,
If only we allow ourselves to connect with it.
Let me share with you the first layer of consciousness which is all about taking responsibility for the state of your life and seek healing for any wounds you have within or areas of your life where you may feel powerless.
These are reflected through feelings of scarcity in your outer world,
Primarily focused on your own life or that of your family.
As you begin to shift to the second layer of consciousness here,
You then begin to develop new skills and create structures for manifesting your own dreams in the real world as it is,
But you're concerned with the good of whatever group or community at which you belong to.
Then as you transcend to the third layer of consciousness,
You're looking to utilise all the resources you have at your disposal,
Both for your internal as well as your external world,
But you're concerned with the good of society and even the planet.
As with all of the archetypes,
They also have their shadow aspects.
So let me share with you some of the shadow aspects of the ruler here,
Which can come in the form of controlling behaviours,
The rigid,
Tyrannical and even manipulative behaviours.
And you can see these expressed within the leaders of our world and those who feel the need to control others and even the environment.
And often this comes from a place where they feel powerless and they need to gain this state of power and control within,
Which is then expressed outwardly.
So it's essential when you look at the shadow to notice when you're coming from that place of needing or wanting to control others or even the environment.
And these can even come in subtle behaviours.
So as I mentioned,
It's essential for you to notice these within.
Your calling,
However,
Within the ruler is to connect with those lack of resources so that you can connect with that harmony and support within so that you can begin creating order in your life and so that you can rule your internal and external kingdoms and take control of your life in your own unique way.
Now let me provide you with a short guided meditation to assist you with connecting and embodying the archetype of the ruler.
Start by taking a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
In through your nose and out through your mouth.
One more time,
In through your nose and out through your mouth.
Allow yourself to let go.
Allow yourself to become present with this very moment.
What is essential about the archetype of the ruler is that you are honest about yourself and your life and the state of your being.
So allow yourself to connect with who you are and the way you are living your life right now.
Allow yourself to reflect upon it in this moment.
And as you do so,
Notice how life is being reflected back to you.
Now is a time for you to take responsibility for the state of your life.
Allow yourself to look inwardly as you begin to seek healing for the wounds within,
As you reflect upon areas of your life where you may feel powerless.
These can be reflected through scarcity in your outer world.
So notice when that is being expressed in your life.
Your primary focus now is on your own life and that of your family.
As you ascend on your journey though,
Remember that it's essential to develop your skills and begin creating structures for manifesting your own dreams in the real world just as it is.
Your task right now is to focus on the good of the community and those people you connect with at a deeper level.
As you then ascend to higher levels of consciousness again,
As you fully utilise all of those resources at your disposal for both your internal and external world,
Now is the time for you to become the ruler of your internal and external kingdom.
You can become the master of your own life and reality.
And now is the time for you to step into it.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And allow yourself to come back to know.
