Understanding your Personality by combining Myers-Briggs Type Indiator with Eight Archetypes
We will apply the Myers-Briggs Type Incator [MBTI] (will be administered in first class) with eight archetypes that influence our personality. MBTI is a personality inventory to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful. It answers four questions:
How do you direct your energy and attention?
How do you prefer to take in information?
How do you prefer to make decisions?
How do you orient to the outer world?
We will be examing these archetypes:
Conscious Archetypes
First - Hero or Heroine - Powerful, effortless energy
Second - Good Parent - Protective, nurturing
Third - Puer/Puella - Playful and passionate
Fourth - Anima/Animus - Inferiority complex and idealization complex
Unconscious Archetypes
Fifth - Opposing Personality - Resistance and denial
Sixth - Witch/Senex - Internal and external critic
Seventh - Trickster - Deceptive saboteur
Eighth - Demon/Daemon - Source of despair and hope

Movies: Cultural Enrichment or Co-Dependence?
In other words, there are classic movies which add to our cultural enrichment such as Joe Macbeth (starring John Garfield), and The Godfather (starring Al Pacino). However, the co-dependence theme comes up when we are no longer able or willing to tell our own stories. After a hard day on the job or at school, all we wanna do is rent a movie so that we can quote "unwind." This speaks to an intellectual laziness which could end up helping to unravel a society which is already unravelling.

Indigenous Imperative
The premise of course is that our future is not only ecological but
indigenous. We will be looking at not only the Six Nations Confederacy,
but several other cultural and political powers in the western
hemisphere including the Hopi, the Ojibway, the Inca, the Maya, Aztecs
and many others. One of the goals of this course will be to not only
push the envelope but get rid of the envelope. No discussion of our
problems or potentials is possible without our indigenous center.
NOTE: Ray does not use email so if you want to get in touch with him
before the class please call.
