Have you ever felt like a character in a story you didn't write? Pulled by unseen forces, repeating the same patterns, and guided by a deep, unspoken yearning you can't quite name?

According to the great psychologist Carl Jung, this is because we are all connected to a "collective unconscious"—a universal reservoir of primal patterns he called Archetypes.

Within you, one of these timeless energies—like the Sage, the Hero, the Creator, or the Rebel—is dominant. Identifying this Archetype is the first step to understanding your personal myth and seizing control of your life's narrative.
