What I want to present to you is the notion that we all have a internal saboteur. I know, for some of you this may sound strange, or maybe you just don’t get it? I’m here to tell you and reassure you… it’s okay. Neither did I when I first heard about this archetype, but now I fully see its existence in almost every area of my life! And my desire is to make it simple and easy to understand.
Let’s just talk about you saboteur Simply put, it’s the part of you that tells you to run the yellow light, even though you know to put your foot on the pedal and slow down. That’s your saboteur at work trying to get you to take the so-called “easy” route.
Your spoiler is the voice in your head that tells you, “Just one more drink won’t hurt… Cheer up, you’ve had a long day and you deserve it!” When that last drink could lead you to do something REALLY stupid like get in the car and drive!
Your spoiler is almost always relegated to your SHADE.If you don’t know what a figurative “shadow” is, you might want to watch the infamous George Lucas movies called “Star Wars.” I know for some of you reading this… science fiction is not your thing. But trust me, once you see these movies and recognize that they are loaded with archetypal symbols and meanings, a whole NEW world will open up for you. And you will be happy about it.
Here is the definition of your “wrecker” in a nutshell, if you don’t already get it. “It is the archetype formed by fears and problems related to low self-esteem that make you make decisions in life that block your own empowerment and success.” Carolyn Myss; Sacred Contracts.
So here is your homework for today, since I don’t have time to finish, I will continue with the HOWTO to separate in my next article. GO WATCH THE STAR WARS MOVIE(S) (episodes 1,2,3 or 4,5,6) and see what the spoiler is for Luke and Anniken as well.
Health,
