The Seeker Archetype: What the Heck is it Seeking??

Archetypes
As part
of the "Ethics & Archetypes" home study course,
participants write reflective essays about their own
experiences with the archetypes. One of the
archetypes in the course is the "Seeker", which many
of us in the healing arts have as a strong companion
and guide. Here's what one participant wrote about
her relationship with the "Seeker":
"My highest archetype is the Seeker. I feel I have been in this phase for the past several years in my life. I am constantly growing and learning and expanding my awareness through workshops, reading, and studying. This has been true of my professional life too as I have added to my work and credentials over the past five years at an exponential level.
During this class, I began to wonder, what am I seeking? What drives me to such a feeling of growth, desire for learning?
Personally speaking, I feel I am seeking healing and personal growth. I have moved through some major obstacles and developed spiritually so much in the past five years. The seeking has led me to powerful teachers and awareness.
Professionally, I have been on the seeker path in order to make my work a more clear expression of myself and my values. It has grown as I have grown!
I am learning so much from the Seeker. This energy has carried me out of feeling stuck and into action and a sense of hope about myself and my life. I feel more empowered, aware and connected."
This massage therapist has expressed a wonderful summary of the ways the "Seeker" can change our perspectives on ourselves and on our work as practitioners. How is the "Seeker" guiding you and your practice?
