Archetypes are

Whatever problems we are facing in our lives, someone, in some era, has faced the exact same type of problem. I would bet that the following situations have been experienced by more than 100 million humans, dead and gone:

• being cheated on

• being bullied as a child

• addiction

• being scared to stand out

• being betrayed by a loved one

• being robbed

• being someone who most people like

• being someone who most people hate

• discovering something that moves humanity, or the tribe, forward (could be as simple as finding a beehive)

• sneaking around on a farm to steal food and getting caught while taking a shit in a bush

You may be able to tap into the collected experience of our ancestors in to learn how to overcome challenging situations.
