Chapter One: Who Is Your Father?
Who is this man? What is he really like? Did you get to know him, his feelings,
dreams, strengths, weaknesses? What did
he do with his broken dreams, or his wounded heart? Was he even there...physically,
emotionally? Was he fair? Did you feel his love?
If you were to really ponder
these questions, I’m sure your reactions would stir both positives and
negatives. And if you were to allow for
your own deep introspection, you would probably see some similar characteristic
of Dad laced into your personality fabric as well. Then maybe you might say, “Well, what should
I expect? That’s where I came from!”
If you were to see yourself
merely from this psychobiological casting, you would be correct. However, the premise here is deeper. It is deeper than chromosomes and
attitudes. It is about the power of
archetypes implanted in the inner conscious energy of the Life Force we
constantly breathe
The archetype, as Jung conceived
it, is a precondition and coexistent of life itself; its manifestations not
only reach upwards to the spiritual heights of religion, art, and metaphysics,
but also down into the dark realms of organic and inorganic matter. Both Jung and ethology
appear to provide some satisfaction for a fundamental human need...the need to
perceive meaning, the need to comprehend.
A major archetype, then, is the
father archetype. Its principles can
define how you relate to the world, how you perceive
that the world identifies you.
It was in his 1909 paper that
Jung first stated his opinion that the seemingly ‘magical’ hold and influence
that parents have over their children was not merely a function of their
individual personalities, or of the child’s relative helplessness, but was
primarily due to the numinosity of the parental
archetypes activated by them in the child’s psyche. The personal father inevitably embodies the
archetype, which is what endows this figure with its fascinating power. The archetype acts as an amplifier, enhancing
beyond measure the effects that proceed from the father, so far as these
conform to the inherited pattern.
The inner patterns released
beyond biology and circumstance shall be called the “Father Principle.” In myths, legends, dreams the Father
Principle is meant to personify the Elder, the King, the
Father in Heaven. It is the lawgiver of
collective authority and the living embodiment of the Logos, a Greek word
meaning his word is law. In other, more
poetic interpretations, Logos suggests the Divine Ordering factor of the
Universe.
From this root meaning, several
keywords illustrate the far-reaching dynamics of the Father Principle as it is
observed in your everyday experiences.
The Father Principle in its male energy in all of us is assertiveness,
responsibility, reputation, provider, creator-builder, government, military,
clergy, CEO, guardian of status quo, bastion against all enemies, the high noon
sun, phallus, weapons, patriarch, chronological time. General of cause and effect, reward and punishment,
he allows you to find law, orderliness, and to project, to do, out in the
world.
The Father Principle is concerned
with events of the tangible world. It is
focused on events that are approached, controlled, and modified through
knowingness and an act of will. It is
not only about the father’s attitudes towards work, social achievement,
politics, and the discipline to develop his children that forms you. But more precisely that the Father Principle,
as demonstrated through your father and father-figures, ought to have succeeded
in freeing you from the security involvement with your mother in order to
obtain the necessary autonomy for effective living.
I am clear that most Dads may or
may not sufficiently create this awareness and suitable skills for life. Fear not!
The magic still awaits you! It is
energetically embossed upon your soul through the power of the archetype.

About the Book
Have you ever noticed a certain something inside as you’ve casually said, “This is my father,” “Wait til you meet my father,” “Not my Dad” “He/She reminds me of my father”?
If you were to freeze frame those common moments, maybe you would hear your inner dialogue and notice a flash of feelings that you thought you didn’t have or that you finally remembered.
These moments can be so subtle, quiet and brief, yet their effects can profoundly linger. These moments can transport you back in time as if you stepped into your childhood while looking at a family photo. Sometimes this shift can be an oasis for the heart and a clearing for the mind. And of course, an ordinary dad flashback can rip through your soul like an attacker’s knife.
The point to be made here is not whether your father tales are pleasant or painful, but rather that they remained, influenced, and shaped you. An even deeper point is that there is a father Principle in everyone that is certain as the energy of Dad’s DNA, and that it was meant to teach you, stir you and empower you regardless of the quality of the relationship you and your father you and your father had – if you know how to feel it, use it and know it’s real truth.
This book is about releasing the hidden jewels your father relationship meant for you to inherit, and to give you a new choice about whom you can be. Having been enriched by an innovative understanding about Dad’s genes, habits, and your relationship with him, you can become father to your-self; able to re-create you into the highest version of your highest vision through everyday circumstances.
The interesting phenomenon about this seemingly impossible miracle is that your biological father and/father – figures do not have to be aware of their influence in order for you to tap into the buried treasures all dads inherently give us. The reason for this is the care of this work. It is called the Father Principle. The Father Principle is an energetic blueprint, embedded in the inner consciousness in everyone. It is a major archetype. An archetype is like a code or a bionic “chip” that holds pure facts. The Father Principle “chip” carries every detail pertinent to the father universal law of energy. This law gives guidelines about the power to go out into the world successfully, to be somebody and do something that may leave a signature of goodness in your name. All of us are already “coded” to potentially to know this. The relationship with biological fathers and father-figures “triggers” this potential and for better or worse, Dad strikes the chip. What happens after that is up to each individual choice.
Good or bad memories, forgotten or blocked, this book invites you to take a remarkable journey; to perhaps laugh or cry, but mostly to rebuild and get into the world more powerfully certain of your-SELF than every before.
