This week we have been exploring together (thanks for all of your insightful comments!) qualities associated with the GOLDEN CHILD Archetype, both as an inner Archetype Ally within your personal unconscious cast of characters and as manifesting in some of your loved ones or others in your life.
Let’s take some time to ask ourselves, “What is my GOLDEN CHILD asking of me Now?”
Some of us are reticent to fully express our Golden Child archetypal potentials most of the time; our sense of “humility” might hold us back from possibly seeming brash or extraverted as much as a fully expressing Golden Child aspect could be. But listen closely: If you could give full voice to YOUR Golden Child nature, what would it like to say or ask of you, Now?
Let me try briefly as a model (only); I invite you to do this yourself, either in an active imagination/ contemplation mode or through direct Archetype Dialogue journaling.
LW: Okay, GC, I am wanting to check in with you to see if you have anything you have been wanting to share with me/Us directly. Is there anything you want me to be saying or doing at this time that I am not expressing as well or as fully as you would like? You are my Ally and I trust you to speak forth as you desire!
GC: Well then, that’s a welcome invitation. Are you telling me I could have full rein to speak my heart?
LW: Yes, absolutely.
GC: Hand me that mike, then! Ok…hmmm…ahem (clearing the throat, pausing to consider deeply)… First, about the book….Don’t hold back! It is ready to be launched; the new titles I’ve been helping you with yesterday and today are better, stronger, more clear. “Don’t hide your light under a bushel,” remember? And “Behold the turtle; s/he makes progress only when s/he sticks her neck out!”
LW: I hear you; these are two platitudes you have reminded me of since childhood! What else?
[Incubation throughout the day; including active contemplation before the rest…]
GC: As for the other issue we are being confronted with today…
LW: Work related?
GC: Yep. Don’t let this person take further advantage of your “good nature.” Don’t be milquetoast, got it? He will eat you up!
LW: I do know I must refuse to be codependent with an addictive personality.
GC: Then act, strongly.
LW: What would you say?
GC: {I choose not to publish this section; GC provided strong advice on how to confront a pressing personnel issue; advice I intend to follow through with.}
…
LW: Wow…well, Okay then. Thanks!
GW: Any time. Remember to ACT!

So then, I invite you to check in with your own GOLDEN CHILD, either as an unconscious archetypal outlook or converse with someone in your life who is not shy about expressing their helpful viewpoints!
I invite and always welcome YOUR Comments and Stories.
