The Five Archetypes: Who Shaped Who You Are?
Memory Is Selective
Did you know? Our brains are selective about memory.
Not everything you’ve been through becomes your fate. Your mind quietly beautifies some memories and uglifies others; in the same way, not every person you meet becomes the most important one in your life.
Finding the Most Important Person in Your Life
And a Seven Regulators & Four Shadows reading does exactly this — it finds the most important person in your life.
That person stays at the very core of your memory and becomes the first draft of your character. You already have a character you were born with; but the first person who deeply influences you refines it — your outlook on the world, your values, are shaped this way.
The Five Archetypes: What Fits You and What Doesn’t
In Seven Regulators & Four Shadows, this is called the five archetypes (五格).
When the people you meet and the things that happen fit your archetype, things go smoothly and good things come your way; when they don’t, friction arises and problems grow.
And a reading, for us, is about grasping this most central structure of yours — who you are, who shaped you, what fits you, what doesn’t.
