Archetype FIVE is part of the Social triad.
The Archetypes in this triad form the foundation for Mental Belonging.
All Archetypes will invert when there’s a fracture in the felt sense of belonging.
When fear of being overwhelmed or intruded upon by the outside world prompts you to reduce your needs, withdraw inward, and resign relational participation, the gifts of Archetype Five have inverted. In other words, you have lost sight of Social Belonging and the ever-present connection between inner and outer.
Isolating in order to feel safe disables a deeper sense of security that arises through the natural flow of giving and receiving between you and everything else. Increased engagement with your body and heart can rebalance your perception and help you recognize your Social Belonging. This card invites you to ponder:
Are you minimizing your needs and desires to safeguard yourself?
Is extensive analysis keeping you from tactile and emotional engagement?
When considering the Inversion of Archetype Five, it can be helpful to review the Soul Octave, Nature Octave, and (un-inverted) Human Octave to help you align with this archetype’s natural expression of belonging.
