The Power of Archetypes

Please note that due to AI transcription, there may be minor spelling or grammatical errors in this transcript. Julia Carmen (00:03): Welcome back to the Indigenous Wisdom Podcast. (00:07) One of the things we talk about here on the podcast, and one of the things I teach about in my courses and at my retreats is the power of archetypes. Knowing your archetype can help you move more freely and live with a better understanding of your own soul self. It is a powerful framework and a great foundation for additional Hi my soul work. Yes. Whether you hang out with me or you do it on your own, it's all good. Yeah. (00:43) And one of my signature programs that I'm excited to invite you into for 2025 is the Magical Papers. I've taught this multiple part workshop many times before, and today I'm really excited to announce that the pre-orders are open for my new 2025 offering of this class. So happy, happy, happy, happy. Okay. So listen in today for a peek at what you and we can expect from the magical papers and how you can register for our special pre-ordering price. Okay. What are the magical papers? Well, of course, when I put this together, many moons ago, basically, I thought, oh my goodness. I still remember talking story with one of my really good friends that helped me put this together. Shout out to Dana. (01:53) And I said, oh, magical papers. And she says, why don't you do an acronym on it? I said, oh, that sounds like fun. So M is for majestic. Well, aren't we special? I mean, for reals, we are whole and complete exactly as we are. No, really, we are our soul. Self is imper perfection. So isn't it majestic, right? A is for aligning. It's aligning the physical and non-physical well of being, right? Yeah. And gifts. G is for gifts. Your gifts I is for inner peace. Isn't that something we all are wanting, but not recognizing and realizing or remembering? I always like to use the word remembrance, that peace is within ourselves 24 7 C for calling ourselves back home to self in that remembrance, A is for authentic. Oh my gosh. Everybody always talks about being authentic. And I find that sometimes in the human realm, it's such a challenge. Yeah. (03:13) And L is for limitness, however way you want to put it without limit, boundaries, limitless ambition, limitless space, limitless. See, these magical papers will show you your magical being, your alma self of being. Doesn't that sound like fun? So that's what magical papers are about. And then we're going to be talking story. We're going to be diving into archetypes. I love this. I love archetypes. So the archetypes come from the indigenous wisdom book, and it's chapter four. And the dragonfly that goes with the archetypes is Diamond dragonfly. And I'm going to share this one with you. And when canned go on our podcast and click on the episode on the diamond dragonfly. And oh my gosh, get that recording. Yeah. Yeah. So here we go. Diamond dragonfly. There are many small ones of you. Time to explore everyone within your being from the cold to the fine cuts of you. See what you need to celebrate. Woo-hoo. See what you need to focus on for the new. When you pick me, you are saying, show me the diamonds. (04:59) Okay. So let's see here. What we're going to be doing is tapping into what we call those. If you listen to the podcast last week, if not, go listen to it about our first January podcast. That was aired January 1st. Go check it out in there. I really talk about the vibrations of being, which is a soul listening for frequencies of vibration. We will be talking about that. We'd be diving in there. Oh my gosh. Just understanding how we be in this world and walking them both at the same time is amazing. And it helps us to be clear about who we are in both worlds. And you know what we're going to tap into how to be your own alchemist, how to really see who you are and who you be. And then we're going to bring all together, whoa. Yeah, I know it sounds like a whole lot, and it is. (06:04) But there's one thing about the school Without walls and the way it has been set up, all the workshops, all the retreats, everything that we've ever done is done with so much fun and safety. And I call it the container of unconditional love, the container of unconditional trust. So I'd like to share with you though a little bit about archetypes. So we have 14 of them that basically I channeled very similar to how I channeled the dragonflies and these archetypes when you join us or when you join us, or if you join us. Yeah. The way they came to me, these archetypes, because there's plenty out there. No, seriously. I mean, there's so many wonderful things. You could Google archetypes and you will go on a merry yellow brick road for sure. And archetypes, or what I call a star dust of you in your being. (07:17) So before we came into this existence in the human realm and the human realm, now we've always existed. But in the human realm of being, we were blown into this star dust of being. And each one of us has, we're all one that is a given, whether you understand that or not. But we're all one. We're all connected. That's not trying to talk you into anything. It's just the way it is. The truth, not my truth, but the truth. Yeah. You might be saying, how is she saying the truth? How do you know that's not the truth? Well, I don't know. I just know, right? That's still small voice that shares with you. What is truth? What's your truth? What's your belief systems? But what's truth? Yeah. So each one of us comes in with certain archetypes that really do help us in this human realm of being, how we walk through this human realm of being. And we could be, we'll notice certain things about ourselves, and we kind of go, if you want to call 'em personalities, but they're more than that or habits. It's more than that. It's like your set point in your soul self of being your go-to all the time. You just are drawn to that. Yeah. (08:34) One of the reasons I love teaching this, when I moved to Hawaii over 20 years ago, and I met this beautiful man, Ali Makua, and prior to meeting him, my nonphysical folks, my teachers were teaching me about archetypes. And again, there's a lot out there, and I had read a whole bunch of things about archetypes. None of them really resonated with me. I kind of went, oh, that's interesting. That's interesting. Then my nonphysical folks, my guides and angels and so on. So we're going to teach you something. I remember them teaching me often. I was kind of like, oh, my good. The first couple years, it was just all of that. And I think back, I think, wow, I had so many questions, and I'm sure you do too. And I was, what about this? What about that? So they taught me these beautiful, I'll go back to Hali Kuah, but they were talking, sharing with me these archetypes. (09:34) And then when we were done, and I wanted to write 'em down, and they said, don't write anything down. I said, okay, I won't write anything down. So they said, you're going to meet three people and they're going to share with you in real time archetypes. And I said, oh, okay. Okay, that sounds good. So somebody invited me to go to Starbucks, I think, or Borders, remember Borders. And there was a Starbucks in there. And when I walked in, there was this man, and that was Hall. And he was, oh gosh, he was beautiful, beautiful man. And I could hear him on that other realm of being. And he was sitting there talking story with a friend of mine, and they were engaged, a very intimate, when I say intimate, they were almost face-to-face, sitting down. And there was another person there. I remember they were from Montea, from the telescope folks, which is a whole nother story. And then I sat down, but those two didn't even move. (10:42) And I kept thinking, okay, but I could hear Kuah talking to me, sit down, just listen. And I'm thinking, I was really hungry, guys. On the side note here, my friend invited me for lunch and I was hungry. So anyways, I kept thinking in my head or talking to him like, I'm hungry. I don't know who you are, because I hadn't met him yet. And I mean, that's how intimate they were, meaning close and talking story that I wasn't even introduced or I didn't know who was at the table. I was just signaled down from my, she singled me, told me, come sit down. Come sit down. I said, okay. So I could hear them talking about archetypes except, and I was like, huh, what are they talking about? But my human body was hungry, so all I could think about was I want to eat, I want to eat. (11:39) I want to eat. I want to eat something. And I guess I was eating something, but it wasn't on the physical realm. And he was teaching about archetypes, and it was all in Hawaiian, basically, the names of the archetypes. And I went, and at that time, my peeps had taught me, I think probably all 14, but I didn't remember them all. And at that time, I think there was four or five that he was teaching this friend or sharing with this friend, and he was writing it down on a napkin. So I went, oh, okay. And then we sat there a little bit longer once they stopped talking story. And then I saw what I said, wow. And then I just kind of looked at how the ku, and I said, huh. And he goes, this already or that kind. And I said, yeah, I do. (12:29) And he kind of giggled, and he had this kind of, what they call honest to goodness, twinkle in his eye. He just kind of like, I got you, girl. So I told me another story, join us on this webinar and I'll share more about how ku, and then that was the first person. And then the second person was a gentleman that native man. And I used to work up in the different Rancherias up here in Northern California and some reservations and things like that. And so I used to do some other work that I would go there and do some trainings. So there was this medicine man, and he caught my eye. I mean, we caught each other's eye, not kind. He just saw me and he says, come here, come here. And I said, okay. And we went out to the parking lot. He goes, I need to teach you something. (13:21) I said, okay. I was like, whatever. And he started, I remember you remember things, and we were on the parking lot, and we were sitting close to a car. And then on the hood where the engine is, right, he started writing or teaching me about archetypes again. But in his language, he goes, I just feel I need to teach this to you. And I said, okay. And then the other person, which asked to remain anonymous in the human realm, and she's passed on, but she still wants me to keep her whatever. And then she said, Julia, I need to teach you this. And she was another native indigenous person, and she taught me archetype. So there was the three people that showed up. I dunno if things come in threes. So that's what kind of got me going. And then I started teaching it. And the way my nonphysical folks and these three other folks were sharing with me, and the one thing that I'm teaching all these years about archetypes is that, again, all of them are within us. And there's so many bazillions of them that I think in each, I don't know if you want to call it each school or each academy or whatever. Each tribe has their own way of teaching that witches, right? Again, so ours is a container, the container of unconditional love, container of unconditional trust and self unconditional for self. What I notice is that most humans have at least one, probably three, which I call their main, what they lean into. (15:16) There's queen archetype, and then there's the sage, and then there's the alchemist. And oh gosh, there's so many grandmother, dragon fly, and oh goodness, Jade Dragonfly, so many lovers. It just goes on and on. Warrior Dragonfly. And they each have a frequency on vibration on how they be in the world. I'll give you the queen. Dragonfly is the easiest for me to share, and that is that the energy comes towards them. And so haven't you ever met anybody would just say, gosh, everything comes to them looks so simple because they have the queen energy. It's just the way it is. It just is. I don't know what else to say. And if you don't, I'm going to go back to my friend Jacqueline. She was a queen dragonfly. That's what she led with. And I remember through the years, she would say, and I was sharing all this with her, and she would say, I know I'm a sage. I could be a sage. I want to be the healer. And I go, but you're not the queen. So the energy for her, like I said, everything came to her and it did in beautiful ways, but she wanted to be something she wasn't. So I remember one day we used to hang out a lot. (16:46) I get weepy. I miss her. Anyways, anyways, yeah, she rebirthed in 2019. So she asked me to go with her one day because she said, Julia, I really want to be here for folks. I really want to help them in their human experience. And you keep sharing with me, I'm Queen Dragonfly, and I really don't like that. I go, well, I dunno what to tell you. That's how you roll, girl. And so I watched her with people and I could see her enthusiasm and wanting to be there for folks. And a couple of places that we went to, by the time she was talking story with them, they were up against the wall and she was right there, and she wasn't pushing anybody away, but you could see the energy that she was emulating in a beautiful way. But to others, it looked kind of aggressive, but she wasn't being aggressive at all. So I shared with her, with that soul listening and how to listen to that and how not to move, basically. Because if the energy's coming towards you, then there's no need to do anything really. (18:14) And so some archetypes, the energy moves out from you. Yeah, it goes, and so again, it's the same thing. Sometimes we get excited and we want to, I know I do. That's where I get busy money, get so worked up about something and I've been told, oh my gosh, why are you talking that way? I said, I'm just excited. So if the energy's moving towards people like going out that way, it might be perceived as pushy or getting into someone's space. Those are some of the examples I'd love to give you. And then we have warrior archetype, and I love having warriors in my life, not the basketball players, because Warriors are amazing friends. They're the best friends you could have because they will always go metaphorically to war. They will fight for their queen or their friend or whatever, and they're so comfortable being in that warrior place. So even though there's 12, and we're going to present those 12 to you folks, plus 14, excuse me, knowing your archetype will be able to help you see who you be in a calming, beautiful way to be comfortable with who you be and not be like Jacqueline. She's like, what are you talking about me like that? Oh my gosh. So that's how you get to be your own alchemist. Yeah. It's in that stillness where you see who you be and how you be. Yeah. (20:05) We also talk about energetic boundaries. Energetic boundaries are, yeah, energetic boundaries and grounding. We'll be touching on that, how to be, once you understand your archetype and how you lead, then you'll see other folks. We've done this. I've done a few webinars. I actually did some with some young kids. Oh my gosh, they were so much fun. They recognizing who their archetypes were, and it helped them in school. One young man shared with me, he was actually on one of our podcasts, is Byron and his mom, and he shared that it helped him a lot to understand that kind of what I shared with you, his boundaries, his energetic boundaries, and how he had the tendency to just be, he's like 16 now, but he was sharing with us how he goes, oh, am I a queen? I said, well, you could be king like King Ali or royalty. But once we say that, we think of kings and queens, the rulers and stuff like that. That's not what I'm talking about. Talking about energy. (21:31) So Byron just basically shared with us that he recognized that he had the tendency, he's a leader, that he had the tendency to not let anybody else in his space kind of deal. He didn't kind of like, Jacqueline didn't know that he was taking up so much space. That's not a negative thing. Once you understand it, you kind of go, oh, okay. It's not about pulling yourself in and making yourself small. That's not what we're saying here. It's about recognizing that which you have your gifts and aligning, and your authenticness and your majestic being of self. All of those things. That's what the magical papers are all about. It's not about making yourself small or whatever. And the bonus here is that then you start seeing it in other people in a healthy, beautiful way. You'll go, oh, I see that person is a wizard. (22:40) He leads or she leads with the or. Oh my gosh, an alchemist. So we'll be sharing with you the frequencies and energies and how the energies move this way and that way. Oh, it's so much fun. So much fun. Oh, goodness gracious. We'll bring this all together. All of this will be all in one beautiful package. So here we go. So how do you do this? How do you, now that I'm excited. I don't know if you're excited, but I'm excited about doing this. So here we go. It's an online workshop with four video lessons with me. It's so much fun. And I may bring other folks in. I don't know. I don't want to promise something I can't deliver. But I was kind of hoping that maybe my granddaughter, Juliana, who's 26, 27 years old, I've been on this. She's my apprentice, and she's been really working hard on these webinars with me. (23:42) And so she can, she'll join us and some others, I'll work on that. It'll be a weekly online gathering sessions to talk about what you're learning. We'll actually have, oh, I'm sorry. I apologize. Right now we're going to have, these pre-orders are now open and the courses begins in March. And then we have an online community to share reflections, and you'll actually connect with others. So it's not just when we meet up, it's going to be a live one. This is going to be a live webinar. I'm so excited. So let me go through that again, because I, for you folks, yeah. Okay. It's online workshop with four videos with me, weekly online gathering sessions to talk about what we're learning. And the pre-orders are open now. Now, yeah. And the course begins in March, and it's going to have an online community to share your reflections and connect with others. (24:50) Isn't that cool? Okay. So here's one of the folks that came to, this was in Montana when I was living there for a little bit, and I did this magical papers. They're down in Whitefish, Montana, and this one is from Corrie. And she said The magical papers as an empowering and insightful instruction, Julia has masterfully devised to help others meet their soul self. If you are curious on how you can tap into your own knowing, the Magical Papers webinar will offer you the tools to show you how you'll leave feeling fulfilled, grateful, and a bit closer to understanding the Divine. Oh my gosh, I love that. That's so cool. And so many other folks have shared with us how much it's been useful and helpful. I used to teach these in Hawaii when I first moved there, when I first got it, whenever I was there for good, solid 10 years from oh two to, and I go back and forth every now and then. And there were folks in those, I remember one we did in Volcano Out in Beautiful. Oh my gosh, it was so gorgeous. It was outside. The weather was gorgeous and perfect, and not in the Volcano, volcano, but the place called Volcano. It's close to the volcano. So green and lush and beautiful. But anyways, we had folks there from ages, I think 15, maybe even younger to 80. And everyone just, oh, it was great. I kind of like, okay. So enough of that.
