Dr. Robert Moore’s Insights on Healing the King:

 

  • Dr. Moore emphasizes the importance of establishing a relationship with the King archetype within the psyche and understanding the deep structures shared by all human beings.
  • The presence and manifestation of the King archetype are connected to values, transpersonal commitment, and the foundation of transpersonal values in the psyche.
  • The interplay between the King and Queen archetypes and the potential dominance of different archetypal configurations in the human personality are highlighted.
  • Dr. Moore warns against integrating the archetypal self in a total way and emphasizes the importance of building a conscious relationship with these energies through personification and active imagination.
  • The assumptions of Jungian psychology and the need to study sacral kingship and form a conscious relationship with the archetype of the King are discussed.
  • The impact of modernity on the need to reaccess and reappropriate archetypal energies for the human race, particularly in forming a conscious relationship with the archetype of the King, is addressed.
  • Warning against the unconscious flooding of archetypal energies into the ego and the importance of building a conscious relationship with these unconscious energies through personification and active imagination.

 

 

“Because of a naivety, people thought that if you just killed those people that were part of a royal family, that people would stop making kings. What has happened now, we know, is that it isn’t that simple. You can’t just assassinate everybody that stands up to lead. I mean, we try. Anybody that gets into this role of leadership and starts trying to embody a lot of these qualities, they do often get assassinated.” – Dr Robert L. Moore (1942 – 2016)
