E4 Recognizing Guides Along Your Hero’s Journey |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, Many are strong at the broken places”.------Ernest Hemingway Archetypes are our inner guides and come into our lives to bring a task, a lesson and ultimately a gift. Although we are heroes at every stage of the journey, how we define and experience heroism is affected by which guide of the 12 archetypes is most active in our lives, culturally and individually. Each of the 12 archetypes is both a guide on the journey and a stage within it. When one or more archetypes are not active in our lives we skip steps. For example, if we have no Warrior, we will fail to develop a plan for dealing with problems. If we have no Sage, we may neglect to gain the lesson from the situation. Or we might express the archetypes in their shadow form where instead of making a plan, we blame others. Instead of learning the lesson of the situation, we judge ourselves or others.
