I do not know and I am thinking that maybe it isn't just a pick of just one of them you know. I don't know. I guess I am a mystery to me or something. It is like the apartment building that I work on I do not know what floor I will get to only I don't want to only get stuck on the first floor. Make sense? Explain. This but I will explain it more in my corner cause it is kind of personal.

I think the person who knows yourself best is you because only you know what's going on inside you. But heck, it takes a long time for some folks to figure themselves out.
Our parents know us pretty well and help us when we have trouble seeing ourselves but like you said, they can be biased and see only what they want to see or see what they think they should see. And there's nothing inherently wrong with that unless they start to push you into becoming what they want you to be and not what you want to be.

I find the structure the archetypes are presented in confusing. One of the "Cardinal Orientations" is called "Ego", and each quadrant of the picture has sectors "Ego", "Self" and "Soul" - so the Hero is the Ego Ego type? And should you really use "Ego" and "Self" as categories without explaining the difference? Why put the archetypes in a circle when adjacency doesn't seem to mean anything? Is the Wizard the same as the Magician? And why do some terms occur as "also known as" for more than one archetype? But I digress. I like to see myself as mostly a Sage, although I'd replace the Sage's core desire by the Magician's. Or maybe I'm actually a Sage Magician since both archetypes' talents and weaknesses fit. Apart from these two, there's probably at least a bit of every other archetype in me, too.

I didn't explain this well because, well I was tired of typing. I'm not the world's fastest typist. I quickly found that site in order to kind of explain what I was talking about. The descriptions about the archetypes is really as far as I went with reading that because it's what I was looking for. That list. I had just finished Sacred Contracts and that's what I was referring to. I shouldn't do things when I'm tired or just rushing to finish.

Actual time to kill? Have you gone mad?

I'm sorry if you got the impression that I was criticising you, Scarlette, I wasn't unless you go by the name Conor in other parts of the internet. You picked an interesting topic to discuss, I just thought Mr Neill could have put a bit more thought and effort into presenting the idea.

No. Not at all. I did rush with providing an example/explanation/description. I do that sometimes. Something will interest me and I want to share it but I don't want to put a lot of time or energy into actually sharing it but I would rather you read my mind and figure out what I mean.
I found an old Soul Sunday episode with Oprah and she did an interview with Carolyn Myss, whose book I read and it got me thinking again. I'm not a big religion fan. I feel it ruins spirituality and it's spirituality that reveals God so I end up reading a bunch of the "new age" books and some of them profoundly speak to my soul and sometimes that lasts and sometimes it doesn't. Carolyn Myss says a lot of things that deeply make sense to me.
