Caroline Myss - The Shapeshifter (The Power of Archetypes)

[@sabiaknows]

Caroline, the richness of your flow is like a wildflower seed pod offering its fuzzy self to a late summer breeze. Thank you for your generosity.

[@cristinanderson4767]

I took a trip to California recently and came across your book Sacred Contracts”. I was so pleased because I have been listening to your KZbin channel lately. I did my wheel and shape shifter stood out for me as one of my archetypes. I understood it as my ability to conform to my situation but coming back and listening to your commentary on how it’s a great trait for survival I’m seeing it in a more rounded way.

[@jenniferwolf545]

ThankYou Caroline . Being unwell changes one too . I have a spinal injury and have had to adapt to a body being restricted and to the emotional and spiritual need to heal myself . All suffering and unexpected change can often be the catalyst for the healer within to emerge . Blessings and Love❤

[@beetroot48]

We are contributing - all the time with our thoughts, words and deeds - to shaping our reality. What do we, directly and indirectly impacted by disasters need to learn? The circumstances in which we find ourselves are an opportunity to demonstrate our resilience and love for one another and ability to shift. The great shift of consciousness that is happening now, with divine support, will demonstrate the amazing power we have as humans to overcome fear and replace it with love. ❤

This woman is so insightful, intelligent, articulate, creative. This series resonates so much with me, i am just consuming it!! I picked up one of her books over 10 years ago & i remember standing there being fascinated but i couldnt fully grasp it. Today, i have more experience/information, the times are changing quichly and obviously. I felt called to look her up again and im so glad I did. Im grateful for you and your teachings Carolyn, ty for sharing all you do with the world. What a light you are.

[@sandraspidle5972]

You're so wonderful with words and wisdom. Cataclysmic events are shapeshifters that are necessary. What happened in Turkey is so catastrophically difficult and heartbreaking, Caroline. The earth had to do it, but people's lives were taken straight to their next journey so quickly that their relatives will find it so hard to celebrate their lives simply because it happened in the blink of an eye. Namaste'.

[@mrclubs1071]

Thank you so much Caroline. I don’t understand why more people don’t listen to you. The only reason I can think of is that not too many people are up to face the truth as you always fabulously tell it. I feel sad about it but none the less so appreciative and also feel feel lucky to have you on earth at this time. Your are a gem.

[@maureencrosby1786]

Hello Ms . Myss thank you for sharing this priceless jewel , the walking dead shapeshifter is also about social media people walking while on their phones falling into potholes walking across the street almost getting hit , interacting with family & friends not once fully engaging in the conversation. It’s truly easy to become unaware of the things & people & time around you , I AM truly Blessed to be able & willing to finally see & understand overstand & innerstand,because of your teachings I AM able .So much thanks and gratitude to you . Forever Thankful ❤

[@tranquilizingreiki1659]

I have had sudden major shifts in my life many times in my 50 years. It's not about survival of the fittest. I'm disabled. It's those who are adaptable that survive.

[@secretshaman189]

Love your insights and wisdom, thank-you for sharing! We need our wise ones now more than ever!

[@LenaRodriguezTarotDownUnder]

I love this series - go the archetypes! I remember reading Joseph Campbell decades ago re-telling a Native American myth around a young girl in love with a bison - and that story just returned to me watching this video....

[@sherwpinkhair]

I listened to that this morning in a discussion group

[@stephcre8]

This was great. I hear about shapeshifting energies in the tarot community, and couldn't quite grasp the meaning but see the dark side the harm of that, projecting energies etc. I can understand how I can shapeshift in energy depending who or what I'm engaging with. Very interesting. "The more you understand about your inner power the more clarity you bring to even the smallest choices in your life." Thank you! 👏🏼🙏🏼

[@BandB5123]

Thank you Caroline for sharing these wonderful videos. When we believe that the Universe is conspiring for our good, that everything taken away or given is out of Love, the terrifying images of the shapeshifter will transform into the beautiful chameleon. When fear is removed, each day will shift into the better. The river fearing the fall will transform into the majestic waterfall.

[@Rebecca-bn3em]

I’ve always been good at handling the external changes around me…. The power to make the changes within me is something you have helped me with and I thank you 😊🙏💖

[@lesleynunn]

Thank you SO MUCH for your words and your content! This series is amazing!

[@ainomirailario5491]

[@astrarai-thesobercoder]

Agreed. This series is amazing.

[@minahernandez814]

The Shapeshifter. Was a great archetype to understand from your perspective…never thought about it in this way! Thank you!

[@joycej928]

Thank you for this series, Caroline. So insightful. Your teachings are grounded and brilliant. I love to experience how your mind works on the fly in the telling. You are one of the great innovative souls of our time.

[@dudifripp8754]

So thankful! It is a blessing that I got to know your work. So life changing. Thank you, Caroline 💖💖💖

[@kathyfischer986]

Caroline you are Brilliant, thank goodness for your gifts you share with us.

[@di_kid00]

Very fascinating... It's tragic the history of Warsaw, yet, that research brought to light an aspect of how our human brain are masters at shape shifting for survival. And this info felt like an epiphany to me. Having grown up with violence and gross breaches of boundaries of a child, I had to shapeshift and minimize what was happening to me. It's only now, 9 years since the last time I was abused, am I beginning to grasp the severity of what had happened... Despite my therapist telling me so, my brain couldn't grasp it. It'd think, "oh at least it wasn't like this or that story"--just like how Jews responded to what happened in Warsaw. Fascinating! Thank you Caroline, glad to have found your channel. Your work is incredibly profound and influential for our timeline.

[@ginavadanaphotographer]

Feeling so inspired by this series! ❤️ Thank you for your wisdom and way of teaching, so embodied and powerful. Soaking it all 😍

[@lindafrazier8092]

Me too!

[@ginga409]

Thank you for sharing your insights.! Such a multi faceted archetype....I thought how the positive aspect of the shape shifter archetype could help to shatter calcified thought constructs and constricting identities. The idea of going into a changing room to try on a new perspective, can be very liberating. It doesn't mean you have to trash the old clothes either. I see them as remnants of a neverending story that hopefully someday may reflect a bit of an evolving process despite the many detours and dead ends along the way .

[@jessenoelle262]

Loooove the analogy between the Walking Dead series and the opioid epidemic. Love this series!! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to more

[@carolsampietro9873]

This was so profound and completely accurate! Thank you!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kimmoyee2453]

Thanks for your knowledge and, wisdom on shape shifting subject. Moved around alot as a child, I learned to adapt quickly to new circumstances and places. It was fun, variety is the spice of life eh?!

[@tetefloragui8]

I’m very thankful for this videos Caroline. Thank you so much for taking the time to make them and share them with us

[@jaeg6623]

The movie was "Castaway"

[@gailpeekeekoot6182]

Very thankful for this series. It has been a few years since I read “Each Moment is the Universe: Zen and the Way of Being Time” by Dainin Katagiri. As I listened to your reflection, I found myself thinking about the possibility he offered that the Universe blinks (my word) in and out of existence constantly at such a rapid pace that we experience continuity. I had a brief conversation with cosmologist Brian Swimme about this and he didn’t challenge the possibility…

[@arzuozer5717]

Again, it was amazing and eye-opening. There is so much going on in my head that I get a feeling that I can heal everything through understanding the archetypes and that I can understand everything through archetypes. Amazing and thank you. I think the shapeshifter shows us our ability to change things for the better, that we do matter, that we can take our role and part in the world and be a part of change. In politics, they use this a lot. Election day is all about voting me, and we create a better reality than the others. Another thing: we enjoy movies, concerts, theater etc. because there is a lot of change and shapeshifting happening, mood, content, atmosphere, meaning, what frightens us in reality becomes joy and entertainment in movies, we are safe to enjoy shapeshifting and maybe we realize, that we all have immens power to shapeshift. Wow. Yesterday, I watched the movie Triple Frontiers, Oscar Isaacs characterizes a protagonist who is frustrated about what he gets back for his services as a soldier. He brings some of his soldier friends together, convincing them to join his plan to rob money from a drug dealer. It's all about, we deserve that money, we have served the country, the flag, we get not enough money or reputation for it, they want to change their reality. Everything goes totally wrong, they become shapeshifters in a bad matter by interacting with the life of others. What I realized for myself: I do matter, even if there is an endless amount of art, books, movies etc., I can do my thing too and be an active part of the reality.

[@lisadion4495]

Thank you so much for these videos. They are soooo fascinating.

[@RececcaClaire]

Thank you for sharing these 🙏

[@Inadace]

So beautiful and fascinating listening to you Caroline, thank you. Going through a mental crysis, dealing with cptsd and stomach problems, this archetype speaks to me. I have the power to shape shift every morning to a stronger, calmer, more positive and a centered version of me.

[@utevaughn6661]

[@wendybailey8671]

When you first mentioned this archetype, I thought, "Oh, that was me." I used to work for a university in an academic department that had more than 50 faculty members, each of them different, with different needs and demands. I was the Departmental Ass't and felt it was my job to be who these people needed me to be when they came to see me, so I certainly tried to be. It was sort of a bad habit, as in unsustainable, because I also tried to be whoever everyone else who came to see me with a problem needed me to be... students, staff, whomever. It was extremely stressful when 3 or 4 or more different people were in my office at the same time, because I was never sure who to be. It contributed to burn out, but still I can see it with some humour now, because when I went home at the end of the day, I could be me. In fact, even though I wound up a little traumatized and confused at the time, at least it wasn't an earthquake, it wasn't a war, it wasn't the holocaust, it was just an every day transformation from me to whomever someone else needed me to be at any given moment for any given crisis. I was nevertheless very glad to be out of there into a livelihood where I could just be me. Thanks for another interesting video.

This is great!!..Caroline!!..While listening to you..I kept thinking of the great qoute...“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn ” Alvin Toffler...I never thought of this as a form of shapeshifting.but, maybe it is.

[@theunspeakable24]

Yes. This is helpful. I have just received notice that I must vacate my apt. that I've been in for 20 years due to damage from the recent storms. It's terrifying because my nervous system is in stress mode. I cannot think clearly. All of the projects that I have been working on have to readjusted and may disappear. The market is so different, there is so little available, everything is so expensive and my work tanked during the pandemic and has not recovered. Finding safety inside and out is now a redirected priority. My mind is in shock.

Absorb is a good word to use.

The movie with Tom Hanks was Castaway . interesting you mention the walking dead and the opioid crisis....my son has often used that analogy in regards to a number of blocks on a street in our city that have been overtaken by the homeless/drug addicted and most people are afraid to walk or drive down it.

[@twowisehands1234]

Good take on shapeshifters, Carolyn: ‘Some fundamental part of us is vulnerable and life is changing far too fast for emotions to catch up with and process.’ I’m thinking of trauma like losing a child or a losing my husband, and I’m curious…After the initial trauma and the grief process, then what? How can we shape shift into a fulfilling and happy life consciously?

[@toto-dh9dw]

You can... attitude of gratitude is a good start every day, prayer for them, for yourself if u struggle by yourself go to church. Its better in a group. Read bible psalms, i did that, and im greatful. Had lost child husband. Its a great loss but working in service helped me to open up to listening , compassion, and understanding to keep goin

[@toto-dh9dw]

Amen.. sometimes you have to be who you have to be at time what life throws at you. But the same time u need to be grpunded within urself too. I time of my night of the souls that name came to my mind as being flexible in ur mind in orsed not to fall in to darkness of abbys. And it worked as it showed me quLities which i always gone by in my life thanks to teaching of my family😊

[@soulfulsomaticcoaching]

As you describe the shapeshifter as not only an embodied creature but sudden events like earthquakes that shatter and shift the shape of people’s lives, it reminds me of the energy of the planet Uranus. The lightning bolt, sudden change, one day we’re like this, the next it’s changed forever. Like pre-Covid and now. Curious about if you correlate the shapeshifter with Uranus in Astrology?

[@SurrenderToTheFlowTarot]

Thoughts on people with BPD and the shapeshifter archetype?

[@GoddessBlessYou]

If someone with a strong Shapeshifter archetype has developed BPD as a possible result, then the shapeshifting would be pathological, ungrounded and out of the control of the person. (I'm a depth psychologist who incorporates archetypes in my work.) However, one would also have to consider deeply the Child archetype, especially during manic phases. The Saboteur archetype could be showing its face during both manic and depressive phases. The Victim archetype could be alive and well if the person believes s/he is a helpless victim of chemistry. The Prostitute archetype could be revealing itself in the cost/benefit analysis--what are the benefits of having this disorder and what are the costs, and how much am I selling myself (mental, physical, financial, social, spiritual health) for the benefits that I receive from the disorder? And this would just be scratching the surface. Does that make sense?

[@shelleenhicks8346]

[@lcolon5606]

This is so interesting. Our human instinct to survive by adaptation to shifts. Your story about Rosenblum just brought me to quiet tears...what humankind does to almost file away the horror or anything close to be able to move forward. Thanks for sharing that story.

It feels like it’s a universal archetype considering how easily all of us are affected by so many shifting things around us, much of it invisible.

[@bettysue8671]

Dear Caroline, I always had dreams of shapeshifting. Many forms inbetween some dragon type of lady.... i have asked people if they have dreams of this. And no. I havent come across anyone. Which led me on this whole search of trying to find pics online of something similar to what i am in my dreams.... especially after i saw a version of Pinocchio with this horned dragon lady. The closest thing i ever saw to what i become in my dreams....
