This is the first lecture in a series on the Lover Archetype by the Neo-Jungian analyst and creator of the King Warrior Magician Lover system, Dr. Robert Moore, in his lecture on "The Lover in Myth, Folklore and Religion”. Recorded in 1989, we have digitally restored and enhanced the original audio for a better listening experience, although the quality is still lacking in parts. Nevertheless, some of the points discussed are even more relevant today than they were when it was recorded - a testament to the insight of Dr. Moore.

In this lecture, Dr. Robert Moore talks about:

The lover archetype as being the most challenging archetype for most men. It is associated with difficulty in understanding the energy and may evoke fear. Men often struggle with this archetype and may encounter trouble in forming a conscious relationship with it.

The lover archetype as part of a larger structure of the self, along with the king, warrior, and magician archetypes. Each archetype represents a different aspect of the psyche, and accessing these energies appropriately is crucial for psychological balance and maturity.

Mythological sources such as Greek, Hindu, and Christian traditions provide rich insights into the lover archetype. In Hindu mythology, figures like Krishna and Shiva embody aspects of the lover archetype, emphasizing beauty, love, and devotion. Christian hymns and traditions also depict Jesus as a divine lover, highlighting the importance of love in spirituality.

“When you get into the space of the lover, it's not a matter of doing. It's a matter of being. It is not work. You’re not worried about making a living. Not into a career. Not into studying sex manuals.” - Dr Robert L. Moore (1942 - 2016)
