Carl Jung coined the archetype concept. Here are six as potrayed by Dr Allan Hunter.
- The Innocent
- The Orphan
- The Pilgrim
- The Warrior-Lover
- The Monarch
- The Magician
Check these yourself. But I will touch on the Orphan, which I have seen projected even in octogenerians. Here you find savage jealousy, clinging, hate, and plain evil. Many know of acid treatment by some Africans on the object or rival to love obsession. My friend, Patrick came back from Nigeria a blind man--courtesy of acid as a weapon. Houses and clothes have been burned to "get back." My school mate (RIP) burnt his girlfriend's car and ended up in jail. Bless his soul wherever he is now. If OJ Simpson did it, then that was one macarbre mainifestation of the Orphan.
Ugandans know of one dude who put his rival in jail and concocted rape charges against him. The object of love was power. The dude continues to play the Orphan in his obsession with Lady Power. Only God knows how it will end.
The Buddhists say that such acts will keep one coming back in samsara, the realm of suffering humans. Or worse, you might come back an animal, hell being or hungry spirit. Let us not joke with the Karma thing--it is real!
