Archetype Dialogue Practice/ Life Themes Exploration, Step Two: Open Mike, or, Situational Life Theme Topics

You can refer to the second step of the Archetype Dialogue Practice as “Open Mike.” During this mode of journaling and/or active imagination, establish some topics of conversation in advance, allowing also for spontaneity to bring up additional topics during the internal dialogue. Invite any of your archetypal cast to come forth and express themselves—each in their distinctive voices—about one topic after another. You might ask these Archeme or other archetypal aspects to identify themselves as they step forth.

With Open Mike, invite your archetypal sub-selves to chime in on a range of current topics that are meaningful within your Total Self System. Topics are of a general nature and could relate to a pressing situation, a pending decision, or to some upcoming choice or transition in your life—anything about which you or your archetypal cast members might wish to “weigh in upon.”

Your Open Mike conversation can illuminate a wide range of your unconscious motivations. Allow your Archeme cast members to express themselves around a set of one or more personally “loaded” topics.

You may discover through your Archetype Dialogues much about your own internal multiplicity of feelings and perspectives. Allow yourself to shift outlooks deeply and freely as diverse Archetype voices emerge, revealing to you their distinctive and sometimes conflicting viewpoints regarding matters of significance in your life overall. Some personas may choose to remain mute, as silent observers identified indirectly by more vocal or visible Archetypes.

You share the vessel of your Total Self System consciousness with a rich panoply of conscious and unconscious personas expressing a wide range of attitudes and viewpoints. The more you accept and embrace each Archeme presence as it expresses itself in terms of feeling and voice within your Archetype Dialogue, the better you will be able to reveal sources of your “mixed feelings” around certain ideas, beliefs, and relationships.

How often, if ever, is anyone truly “of one mind” regarding important matters of the Heart? Once you are able to recognize and establish a collaborative interaction with your usually submerged parts-of-Self, you may call upon your unconscious personas as Allies rather than responding unknowingly to a nebulous range of vague impulses expressing such feelings as anger, frustration, fear, hope, or anxiety.

Your archetypal personas do not need to remain constrained or hidden in your shadowy depths; call upon them to help you illuminate dynamic facets of your mixed perspectives and attitudes.

Life Themes Exploration, Step 2

Tool #V:9 offers an alternative or an additional approach you can use to explore how your own dynamic nature may have developed a wide range of attitudes pertaining to some general topics in your life. Your multiple Life Themes have helped you to develop different role identity outlooks in specific sorts of situations. How do you regard a range of topics that are important to you based on different perspectives you have developed in your various role identities related to each of your Life Themes?
