Life Purpose Archetype Number 2
When I am at peace, so are we!
If your Life Purpose is symbolized by Archetype Number 2:
You are a peace maker!
Archetype Number 2 symbolizes all pairs of opposites and duality (day and night, male and female, black and white, yin and yang). The Number 2 vibration is the energy of balance, peace and diplomacy. It is the energy that follows the Number 1 (leadership) and Number 2 supports the ideas put forth by Number 1. The sensitivity of the Number 2 allows one to strengthen and support the manifestation of one’s goals and intentions, and bring harmony to life.
On the path of the Archetype Number 2 you learn how to be at peace and in partnership with yourself and others and Life. This includes the human capacity to experience peace that is independent of conditions or circumstance; a peace that surpasses all understanding, that becomes possible as you partner with the Divine. On this path of development, you realize that you are not alone. You learn how to be me with you.
For the Archetype Number 2, when you are centered and aligned, you:
- Value peace and harmony above all
- Are a skillful communicator
- Support others, and love to work in the background
- Can hold multiple perspectives
- Are deeply sensitive and receptive to your own feelings and the feelings of others
- Simultaneously set, hold, accept, and honor boundaries
- Have the gift of diplomacy and mediation
- Navigate and coordinate many different, even conflicting, needs into a coherent whole
- Know your peace is valuable and important for the good of the whole
When stressed, triggered, in need of healing or additional leadership skills, you may:
- Have trouble communicating with others clearly
- Be so focused on others that you can’t set appropriate boundaries
- Feel chaotic inside and have trouble integrating your thoughts and feelings
- Have a perspective in life that is polarized, black or white, either/or.
- Be insensitive to your own feelings and needs
- Over react and be overly sensitive to what others say or do
- Find it difficult to get along and work with others, both individuals and teams
- Allow others to take advantage of you, then criticize and blame them
- Be challenged by flowing with the energy, emotions, thoughts, and opinions of others
- Fear and therefore avoid conflict
Example of the Peacemaker at work
Mahatma Ghandi is an iconic peacemaker who provides an extreme example of someone expressing the attributes of the Peacemaker archetype. Gandhi, the preeminent leader of the Indian independence movement in British-ruled India. stepped out from the behind the scenes and took his stand for peace without physically fighting with others to win it. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.
His commitment to peace was absolute, and the ripple effect of his ability to protest injustice through non-violent methods, a beautiful embodiment of the Number 2 Archetype in us all. (He was perhaps exhibiting the “peace at any price” tendency of the number 2 that I do not advocate.) Perhaps you yourself been active in peaceful demonstrations for a cause you believe in. The Women’s Marches around the world on January 21, 2017 were powerful demonstrations of the Peacemaker archetype at work.
Your pathway of the Two is dedicated to peaceful partnering.
