Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

A friend and I went to a talk from a Sufi practitioner about archetypes, and it was quite interesting.  I have another friend who is well versed in theories about anagrams and archetypes, so I was familiar with the ideas, and it was fun to open up and just roll with the exercises.  We had to choose which archetype we thought we were, spontaneously, and I immediately picked "warrior".  Our group of warriors then collaborated on five poses that represented our archetype.  Other groups were "dreamers", "worshippers", "lovers", "rebels", and "guru".  The discussion was lively.  The lecturer thought we might change our idea about what archetype we were by the end of the evening, but I didn't.  He suggested we reflect back on our childhood and see if we found evidence of our archetype way back when.  A few scenes popped right into my mind, and they seemed to suggest warrior.  It's play, only, for me, but fun.  Using a new way of thinking about oneself is refreshing.
