Zeus Greek God

Zeus Greek God as the archetype of the king. The almighty drive for power that might be active in your life right now – or maybe you want it to be.

The word archetype describes what Carl Jung identified as patterns of behaving that arise from the collective unconscious of humankind. The pattern of being is not unique to an individual; it is available to manifest in each of us because we each reflect a part of the whole.

To recognize the ancient Greek god Zeus archetype active within your life look for…

• stubbornness
• a strong will
• leading or wanting to lead
• bossyness
• conflicts with authority
• popular with peers
• opportunistic
• desire to be in charge and have power over others

Possible drawbacks to living the Zeus archetype…

• ignorance or taking for granted family and loved ones
• having to one day relinquish control
• ignorance and separation from emotions andauthentic-self
• constant fear of being overthrown from power
• only learning there is more to life after some crises

This information has been summarized from the book Gods in Everyman by Jean Shinoda Bolen.

If you recognize your patterns of acting and being in the world from the above list and are curious about what you can do to change, then first and foremost use this information as proof that you are not different, defective or a victim of your past programming.

The above shows the commonality in the human experience when certain innate energies are active. As such begin by accepting that you do indeed own these particular traits and let it be OK that you do.

This will slightly raise your self-esteem and self-acceptance for each trait you own.
