johndoe2012 Posted February 16 I am reading this book King, Warrior, Magician, Lover as part of my work in therapy and I found it very helpful in recognizing unhealthy patterns in my psyche. Probably there are equivalents for the female archetypes. I feel the spiritual bypassing is enormous in the old traditions of Buddhism and Taoism. They simply have too little insight into the psyche and poor understanding of what bad upbringing and childhood trauma can do in terms of crippling the development of a healthy adult ego. Especially buddhism which just tries to suppress or annihilate the personal self. Very unhealthy. A combination of spirituality and personal ego work will work wonders on achieving a silent mind and healthy, sung qi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
