Archetype System

An Archetype System is a structured symbolic matrix composed of interrelated Archetypes, Positioning Statements, and narrative logics that collectively encode and propagate the metaphysical, moral, and existential assumptions of a society’s Creative Framework. Archetype Systems function as the narrative-symbolic infrastructure within Creation Templates and are used to shape collective identity, social norms, and personal development.
An Archetype System provides the symbolic scaffolding necessary for System Architects to instantiate, transmit, and maintain a society's dominant Creation Template across generations and institutional spaces.

Key Characteristics

Symbolic Core of a Creation Template – Archetype Systems operationalize the metaphysical and ontological assumptions of a Creative Framework in emotionally resonant, symbolically compressed form.
Semiotic and Narrative-Based – Comprised of symbols, characters, mythic arcs, and structured sequences (e.g., Fool’s Journey, Hero’s Journey).
Embedded in Ideological Institutions – Propagated via religion, media, literature, education, and ritual to reinforce specific social orders.
Psychologically Potent – Interacts with the Bodily Ego and Spiritual Ego to guide identity formation, moral development, and perception of possibility.

Archetype Systems in LP

In the Lightning Path system, Archetype Systems are recognized as **tools of either indoctrination or emancipation**:

The Old Energy Archetype System is typified by symbolic structures that encode hierarchy, submission, obedience, judgment, and separation.
The Triumph of Spirit Archetype System (TOSAS) is the LP’s New Energy archetype system. It is designed to support healing, connection, and spiritual empowerment through a reconfiguration of symbolic structure aligned with Authentic Spirituality.

Structure of an Archetype System

Each Archetype System consists of:

A finite set of **Archetypes** (core characters, symbols, or positions),
An underlying **symbolic logic** (e.g., order of cards, transformational sequence),
Associated **Positioning Statements** (which articulate developmental, cosmological, or ethical meaning), and
A system of **deployment** (e.g., Tarot deck, comic universe, scripture, curriculum).

Archetype Systems and Creative Frameworks

An Archetype System is a **component of a Creative Framework**, specifically designed to express and embed the larger cosmological and ontological principles encoded at the framework level.

**Creative Framework vs. Archetype System**
Level	Creative Framework	Archetype System
Function	Defines the metaphysical and existential structure of reality	Encodes that structure in symbolic and narrative form
Scope	Transhistorical worldview infrastructure	Symbolic-narrative infrastructure within a given tradition or society
Example	LP Creative Framework	Triumph of Spirit Archetype System
Outcome	Shapes human purpose, social order, and metaphysical assumptions	Shapes identity formation, mythic imagination, and spiritual orientation

Notes

Archetype Systems are not neutral. They encode Teleological Intent —either oppressive (Old Energy) or liberatory (New Energy).
Most pre-existing archetype systems in Western culture are products of elite-controlled Symbol Factories (e.g., Freemasonry, the Church, Hollywood).
TOSAS is the first system intentionally designed to realign the archetypal layer with Connection and Healing.
