Excerpted from The SpiritWiki
An Archetype is basically an idea used to control the manifestation of reality. An archetype can function at the individual level, or the meta-level (i.e., the group level, the societal level, and the planetary level). An archetype functions at each level by virtue of its acceptance into consciousness. An organizing archetype accepted by a single individual is functional and influential primarily at the individual level only. By the same token, an archetype accepted into the consciousness of the planet is functional and influential at all levels. Read the rest of this entry »

The SpiritWiki is my online encyclopedia of authentic (i.e., new world) spirituality, psychology, sociology, and science. It’s the place where I define all the concepts and ideas that I’m using while building my “framework” for understanding life, the universe, and everything.
In order to introduce people to the SpiritWiki, I’m going to use this container to talk about some of the concepts and ideas I use in there. Every week or so I’ll pick a concept or definition and write about it/explain it here. This will be good for me because it will force me to begin the process of explicating and integrating the concepts. It will be good for you, I suppose, if you are interested in an alternative spiritual/scientific theory that might have strong explanatory potential. If you are intrigued and want to follow along, I recommend keeping an eye on http://casestudy.michaelsharp.org. That’s where I’ll throw the main body of theory as it becomes available. You may also want to have a look at this conceptual map as well.
