As an impotent lover archetype, this was a much needed kick in the … well… it was motivational. I think that it is very easy to sometimes get wrapped up in work or school, and leave other parts of your life to atrophy.

Having done this for a few years and later regretting it, I’ll leave this advice out there for my fellow young professionals: everything in moderation. Where you invest your time and energies will yield future dividends, but don’t forget about the ‘opportunity cost’ in ignoring other parts of your life.

I have only just discovered this site but already am totaly enamoured! (what a great word for ‘Lovers’).

This post has kicked me into re-evaluating all sorts of things about myself.

On another level I think that the Lover is strongly associated with the Romantic Movement. I have always considered myself a romantic but not in the way it is most often misused today. It is about experiencing your OWN emotional side. You don’t have to go around bursting into tears everytime you see a great sunset. You just need to be AWARE of how it makes YOU feel. It is about YOUR loves not the ‘other persons’. Being a romantic isn’t about finding an easy formular for getting women into bed (at least it shouldn’t be).

O.K. it is true that men who have and can express their passions are often found ‘intriguing’, ‘fascinating’ and even ‘attractive’ by women, but for me that is only a (even may I say distracting) side effect. Indeed I have enough women in my life already with a Wife, two daughters a Mother, two sisters and a very charming little bitch (yet another word which is too often misused nowadays) so I don’t need any more! However, of most value to me is that by understanding MY emotional landscape I am better able to understand (and not be intimidated by) THEIRS.

So in summary, great post, keep it coming!

I love how this archetype not only applies to women, (although it most certainly does) but how it talks about the love of life and self-enrichment. Men should have a passion for adding knowledge to their lives that will make their lives better, and the lives around them better. Never settle into the doldrums. Keep life interesting and keep the Lover archetype alive!

I read this book a few years ago as a 22 year old venturing forth into this conscious self-improvement game. I digested all this material and just moved on to the net thing that was going to fix me. I’ve started to realize the folly in that pursuit, and have simplified and work with what I have. This post, more than the previous ones, inspired me to pick up the book and go through the lover part again, to see what resonates. Also, did anyone else rock out to “Slow Ride” by Foghat after reading this? I know I did :-)

The examples for vitalizing the archtype are what I stopped doing some years ago and thus feel now like the Addicted Lover. A time for change – a love note for my wife this week, perhaps?
