...Then MTV killed the video star. I see archetypes as "in flux" as in they take in contradictory information then create new vehicles called tropes from their basic archetypes. These tropes basically have babies and create new archetypes often stronger and less corrupt than the original. Like ripples in the water... Here's a primer, yeah, just because it references fiction doesn't mean it isn't true :) [ link to tvtropes.org] Quoting: Joule Thief In the gnostic texts, it says that the younger were just as (dang can't remember)(maybe perfect mind) but not as powerful as the ones that came before. I guess my question would be can the soul become corrupt? I can't speak for souls other than my own. The gnostic texts are awesome, but we're in a different locale both in terms of cosmic level things influencing us and dissemination of information. The old archetypes were built on rock, of course they think they're stronger... doesn't mean they are. This makes sense to me, but it might not to you. Flexibility, adaptability and ability to bring together many differing monads/tropes/etc into synergy seem to be the current state of humanity whether we know it or not. Why? Through fiction we've been exposed to influences that operate outside of strict duality and thus we follow suit. (thanks for the stepping stones there aether and ac!) I feel that makes sense. Tom Brown Jr. said that a long time ago, that we need to be adaptable, like the coyote. When in survival, the coyotes picked up on the wolf ways and thrived in doing so. That's funny you say that about fiction! I used to think it was more valuable to read nonfiction and now I've learned that's not true (at least to me). I have learned so much more through fiction and story telling than any nonfiction book. Fiction doesn't posit a view that's all or nothing the way we're told fact does. It allows information to slip past your "impossible" filters and brew beneath the surface so the truth inherent bubbles up to the top of the cauldron. Plus, if you look at story structure, patterns become more obvious and it's easier to sort through dissonance. I like the comparison to coyote, the less maligned trickster. I sense there was no resentment in the native sense of this archetype, they were ingrained to understand the trickster, sympathize and learn rather than demonize him for using the tools available to survive.
