The Ouroboros and the number archetypes 1 - 10

 

Gaining Insight into the Developmental Cycles of Creation

A Four Module Series

The Ouroboros, the ancient symbol of a snake eating its tail, represents eternity and its myriad expressions in life. The Number Archetypes are the basis for the rhythmic cycles of becoming from emergence to return.  Together, they provide a textbook for life.  These archetypal foundations exist below the level of culture, religion, philosophy, and theoretical approaches.  Because they are so profound and common to all life, learning to perceive their expressions supports the awareness of underlying unity; a necessary component of living peacefully with human diversity and nature at large. According to CG Jung, ML von Franz, and physicist, Wolfgang Pauli, these fundamental archetypes are as deep as human consciousness can go.  They are the framework upon which life depends.  

This program is a 4-part series that engages inner psycho-spiritual and physical research into the character, essence, principles, functions and meaning of each of these 10 cycles.  This course grounds theoretical understanding in lived experience.  Gaining a deepening understanding of these cycles over time provides a framework for not only how life works, but how to be in alignment with it.  It is recommended, though not required, that the two other course offerings; A Jungian Journey Through the Taoist Five Elements, and especially, The Space Between, From Opposition to Dynamic Equilibrium, which is a deep dive into the archetypal nature of reality, are taken as precursors to enrolling in this course.  

The three programs offered in Experiential Jungian Journeys; A Jungian Journey thru the Taoist Five Elements; The Space Between, From Opposition to Dynamic Equilibrium; and The Ouroboros and The Number Archetypes 1-10, represent three deepening levels of perception into the archetypal nature of embodied reality.  These courses point to the movement between the ineffable and the world of consciousness and form and back again.  Inherent in each of the programs is the development of the ability to perceive, and therefore experience, the ‘connection of all things.’  I call it the ‘fabric of life.’  At the same time, it is equally about each participant making contact with their unique essence, and knowing more fully how it wants to be expressed.  


When you realize how perfect the world is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.
