How to Work with The Abundance Archetypes 

The Abundant Sage Archetype

My Abundance Archetypes are The Sage, Creator, and Alchemist. *There’s a Ruler and Rebel too but that’s for another article

The Abundant Sage Archetype

Before I introduce you to my Sage I’ve got something to share. Sometimes I feel like a bit of a cheat. I’m just the typist.

My Abundance Archetypes are running the show. They whisper the words and show me the images. They cooperate with my AuDHD brain, telling me to ditch the 3,000-word article for a brief Facebook post.

All I do is listen and ask questions
Q. Hey Creator, I find it hard to explain my program. Can you create 10 eye-catching posts?
* She switches on the inspiration button and presto! 10 eye-catching posts.

Q. Hey, Alchemist, I’m scared. can you give me some reassuring love?
* A calm and loving sense of belonging spread through my body.

Q. Hey, Sage, I’ve got a Workshop in 1 hour from now. Help!
* Within 10 minutes I’ve got the names of 3 Greek Goddesses and their stories, the secret rituals, and an art assignment that binds it all together.

That’s the thing with my Sage. She is fantastic at seeing patterns and holding large amounts of knowledge that light up like a pinball machine when needed. She is profoundly happy when she can provide me with new systems.

I Truly Deeply Love it when my Sage is in charge.
It's like we're flying when she is running the show. I feel twenty times smarter. She and I have a lifelong love affair. Even though teachers told me to sit with the non-smart children, “You are a funny speaker, sadly you’re very unintelligent”, or “Well, you probably won’t even be able to finish high school.”

To me, my Sage - do you notice I keep addressing her as MY Sage -, is linked to the U in AuDHD. She represents the autistic part of my brain. While writing this, I notice loving her like a child. When we're co-working, we need nothing else. No food, no sleep, no people. For fuck's sake, keep the people away. We just want to design our epic network of thousands of thoughts and network those into one epic library.

Have you seen the series Homeland? Carrie Mathison sitting in the middle of papers, photos, and texts. That's me and the Sage. We call it 'Pulling a Carrie' at home.

Now there are also some challenges when working with my dearest Sage Archetype

Now there are also some challenges when working with my beloved Sage Archetype

When she's in full force, she can't do small talk. She can only focus on One Thing. She's super Monotropic! Changing into a new action feels impossible. When it's time to sell the stuff we've come up with, she goes into: 'Oh come on! Marketing is for losers' mode.

"Come back Esther, let's invent more!! Don't fall for the calling of the Middle of the Road lightweights. Let's go deep together."

"Why don't we invent a new social media platform instead of talking to people? Or, god forbid, sit in front of a camera explaining our system. You're still wearing your PJs even though it's 4 PM. Come back!"

Yep, I wish I was making it up. But I'm not. By the way, this is why understanding your Abundance archetypes is So So So important.

If I not have been aware of this Sage behavior, I would have been stuck in a very painful maze of creating more and more and not selling.

More about that later. In the next episodes.

What else has the sage Archetype been doing for me?

• She is the one who transformed several large Art and Design projects - that were getting zero attention or visitors - into raving success stories. We - Sage and I - transformed a local Art Month with 98 visitors into an Art Month with 5.000 visitors. How?
  By pulling a Carrie! Creating a web of people and ideas that was impossible to resist.

🍎 This is important! Creating a network of ideas and people is my Genius! My Gold 🏆
It's so easy for me that I can't imagine other people can't do this. Wake me up in the middle of the night, tell me your problem and I show you exactly what to do.

🍎 So many people don’t understand their Genius.
Because when we work from our genius it's effortless. And when something feels effortless we trick our brains into believing it holds no value. So what do we do? We ignore it or give it away.

By the way, this is one of the most amazing things about the Abundance Archetypes. They show you the Money

So how does my Abundant Sage Archetypes bring me The Money?

• 💰 So how does my Abundant Sage Archetype bring me The Money?

  • 1. She links my research skills with my ability to see the best possible (financial) abundant outcome. Even when other people only see words and obstacles.
    🏆 Tell me what you're good at, what you love, your archetypes, and who your clients are, and I design a program for you in 15 minutes (probably less).
    

  • 2. My Sage is most likely the one who has guided me through over 28 years of working internationally in the arts, marketing, branding, leadership, and strategy, with Fortune 500 companies and snakepit Art Institutes and growing a business while being very AuDHD. And not knowing about this.
    

  • 3. My Sage calmly steps over the small obstacles. Even with my meds - I spend at least 1 hour looking for my phone, glasses, and red lipstick and trying to navigate meltdowns. She always guides me towards the things that are important to both of us: Like designing the Abundance Archetypes system.
    

Here is more knowledge and background information about the Sage

• What does a Sage archetype feel when she is truly happy and aligned with her archetypal energy and genius?
  When aligned, a Sage feels enlightened and inspired. When her wisdom flows naturally, money also flows into her life and business. She enjoys sharing her insights with others and experiences a profound connection to the universe, feeling satisfied and purposeful in her quest for truth.
• What happens when the Sage archetype can't see her archetypal genius, energy, and power?
  When a Sage takes her energy and genius for granted, she can become overly critical(of herself) or rigid in her thinking. She can’t see the uniqueness of her amazing brain and feels disconnected from the flow of new ideas.
  This can lead to a sense of intellectual isolation and frustration. Yes, that sucks, but more importantly, is that abundance also can’t reach her
• How does a Sage archetype know she's out of alignment?
  A Sage out of alignment can experience mental fatigue, almost like brain fog, doubting her wisdom and struggling to find meaning in her insights or how to apply her wisdom.
  The Result: No money coming in and a never-ending stream of completely unused knowledge and wisdom.

Understanding Abundance Archetypes and Their Role

• The concept of The Abundance Archetypes Creator- just like all 12 archetypes is deeply rooted in Jungian psychology, which identifies twelve distinct archetypes. Through a quiz, individuals can determine the three archetypes that resonate most strongly with them, effectively forming a personal council of mentors. Once identified, these archetypes guide individuals on their journey of self-discovery.
• The process doesn't end with identification.
  There's a structured eight-week program that facilitates a deeper connection with one's archetypes. This program is not merely theoretical; it involves practical engagement through journaling and creative exercises, allowing individuals to integrate these archetypal insights into their daily lives.
• Such an approach can be quite intense and transformative, truly becoming a journey of self-discovery. 
  It emphasizes the importance of one's unique qualities as their greatest strengths. As you can see in my personal story.
  Despite struggling with ADHD and autism for years (AuDHD), I embraced my archetypes and turned this challenge into the driving force behind creating my entire program. 

• One of the reason The Abundance Archetypes approach is so effective is that it works with the subconscious mind.
  
  How do archetypes work with the subconscious mind?
• Our archetypes are operating on that subconscious level. They influence our thoughts, our feelings, our behaviors. Even if we're not aware of it, they're like these unseen forces that are shaping our experience.
• So by working with our archetypes, we can actually reprogram all subconscious minds. And that's where the magic happens. When we change those deep-seated beliefs, our reality reflects that change.
• We're not just trying to manifest things on a surface level. We're changing those core beliefs.
  We’re going to the root of those struggles. It's not a quick fix. It's a deep dive into who you really are and you get all the tools to shift towards abundance at every level of your life and your business.
