More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Jung said there are four archetypes adults go through, and these archetypes are reflected in the development of my work. the first archetype is the archetype of the athlete, reflecting the time in our adult life when our primary emphasis is on our body - what it looks like, how beautiful it is, how strong it is, and so on. we identify ourselves with our body. we are our body. growing adults next move to what jung called the archetype of the warrior. we take our physical bodies out there to do what warriors do.

Man, whose organization is regarded as the highest, departs from the vertebrate archetype; and it is because the study of anatomy is usually commenced from, and often confined to, his structure, that a knowledge of the archetype has been so long hidden from anatomists.

Unanimity of opinion may be fitting for a church, for the frightened or greedy victims of some (ancient, or modern) myth, or for the weak and willing followers of some tyrant. variety of opinion is necessary for objective knowledge. and a method that encourages variety is also the only method that is comparable with a humanitarian outlook.
