Telos Initiative

Unlock the secrets to living a balanced and fulfilling life with Angelo, Chris and Matt, as we explore the compelling world of archetypes. Our latest episode walks you through the essential traits of the four primary archetypes—Warrior, Lover, Magician, and Sovereign—as defined in Moore and Gillette's groundbreaking book, "King, Warrior, Magician, Lover." Learn how the Warrior's discipline, the Lover's appreciation of beauty, the Magician's wisdom, and the Sovereign's sense of order are crucial for achieving harmony in your personal and professional life.
Discover how archetypes influence personal growth and relationships, as Matt shares insightful strategies for harnessing the Magician's wisdom to navigate life's challenges and the Sovereign's ability to underpin other archetypes with a sense of order and generativity. We'll also delve into the symbolic significance of Norse runes in relation to abundance and generative principles, and explore the overlapping dynamics between masculine and feminine archetypes. The episode gets even more intriguing as we uncover the shadow sides of these energies, revealing how imbalances can manifest in destructive behaviors and offering the keys to nurturing a balanced self.
Finally, we spotlight the power of archetypes in creativity and leadership, using characters like Rurouni Kenshin and Dexter Morgan to illustrate the disciplined nature of the Warrior archetype. Matt, Chris and Angelo discuss how balancing personal and collective growth can strengthen both your home foundation and broader societal impact. Learn about the importance of organizational partners in turning creative ideas into reality, and how mythological elements like Odin's ravens and wolves can offer profound insights into the balance between thought, memory, greed, and hunger. This episode is packed with wisdom and practical advice to help you harness archetypal energies for a richer, more harmonious life.
