Psychic archetypes, elective affinities, empathy and overcoming the sense of judgment...
The study of the I Ching and the Chinese zodiac have slowly led me to identify in myself and in others some recurring psychic forces common to all. The innate tendencies that manifest themselves in every living being are however recognizable on the basis of sympathies/empathies and to understand what goes on in someone's mind it is necessary to free oneself from one's mental preconceptions and thus act as a catalyst so that the other can move in full freedom of expression. An "amorphous" catalyst allows the expression of any innate tendency since it does not prevent the other from manifesting itself, in short it does not cause the formation of protective barriers.
And this process occurs spontaneously in those souls who perceive a communion, positive or negative, or who have the possibility of entering into harmony on some aspects of the psyche, they are said to have an elective affinity. Very often it happens that this affinity is felt with people who are dear to us, or with unknown people who have however developed an internal “construct” recognizable to us.
Another aspect to consider is that of karmic bonds, which are a bit pleasant to develop and a bit annoying, depending on the evolutionary stage and the state of payments… there are always credits and debits in all relationships, this according to the vision of cause and effect. But as soon as the vile calculation is overcome and the element of love is introduced, every comparative judgment goes away, leaving room for a suffused joy and satisfaction. You just love, you don’t ask anything of each other, you enjoy love and not how you should or shouldn’t manifest it. In this simplicity of relationship we could also feel uncomfortable if we have not developed a detachment from forms (from ways).
These are also allegorical words… I have no other means to communicate something… to stimulate an internal process of growth, a consciousness that belongs to everyone in the exact same way but that cannot be transmitted, precisely because it is already there and only asks for attention….
In the psychological analysis of incarnated archetypes, in my opinion, it is necessary to keep in mind that the understanding of the psychic states examined in the “observed” individual requires a good dose of mixture and empathy, that is, the zodiac analyst must also be a little “intriguing and speculative”.
Intriguing comes from intrigue (machination, plot, understanding, etc.) this word expresses a lot of double meanings, sometimes it is used in a positive sense, as something intriguing is interesting, varied, fun, attractive… etc. The term speculation expresses a typical aspect of analysis, beyond that of mirroring, and that is investigation, research, reflection, pretext...
Empathy and transference are necessary for understanding the games of the mind, in the recognition of sharing all the aspects examined, this is the only way -in my opinion- to be able to find solutions to the imbalances and dysfunctions of the psyche. Therefore the scholar of archetypes also carries out a priestly, shamanic function... And this is not an anti-scientific attitude, on the contrary this attitude allows us to bring elements of mutual "healing".
