The artist archetype pushes us to express life in a beautiful manner. Some may do this with food, painting, books, music, gardens, and so on. There are so many areas in life you can be artistic.The artist feels a need to express their energy in the physical. You may dress in a fun manner like crazy socks. Whatever they do they do it with such emotions that they create an emotional field around the creation.
Shadow side to the artist is the core belief of the starving artist. That you can not make money by being an artist. You will not see this belief as your own because core beliefs are often hidden. The way to tell if you have this is if your trying to make money off your work and can't. This cannot be from lack of trying. This will be a core belief of not being good enough or procrastination. There is also the idea that madness should go with genius or only great artist recognize after death.
The liberator Archetype assist us into stepping into a role of assisting other to raise above their self inflicted thought patterns, behavior, emotional patterns, belief systems, health problems, and addictive behavior. The liberator shows others there is another way. They assist them in finding a better way. They show you the wrongs of what you are doing. They show you the social conditioning, economic conditioning, the injustice of the world, and the religious cages. Then the assist in freeing you.
The shadow side is those who free people from one cage only to show them a new cage.
You don't have to be addicted to drugs or alcohol to be touched by this archetype. We can be addicted to or obsessed with other things in life. Like working out, eating, sleeping, sports, tv... and so on. An addiction is being obsessed with something to the point you get mad, sad, or angry when you don't have it.
Being addicted to something shows a real imbalance in the solar plexus chakra. Addiction takes over our ability to control our will power. You need to stand up and take back control of yourself. Start by asking what void this addiction is filling. Really search inside for the answer. Is there another way to fill this void? Remember we are trying to overcome addiction so don't start a new one.
The guide Archetype assists us in being a teacher in a spiritual senses. This is not a religious teacher, but a teacher in finding the Divine within. It assist you in listening to you own intuition so you may gain knowledge from a higher power.
The shadow side is the interest in financial gain then in assisting others. There is also a possibility of trying to control your followers. One show offer information, but not demand or scare others into believing. It is also ok to make money from your guidance, but there is a fine line here. When you start to charge hundreds of dollars for an hour you need to ask yourself who you are trying to help.
