Spacebuster interview: The Truth Rebel Archetype

·1 hr 21 min·5 clips

Beth Martens says her stage four lymphoma was caused by rebel archetype shadows, and she healed almost overnight.

Steve, the host, opens by thanking Beth for having him on her podcast previously and for sending him her book, which he found immediately applicable. He proposes focusing the conversation on the rebel archetype, noting many in the 'truth and freedom movement' likely identify with it. Beth explains her background in anthropology and cross-cultural psychology, and how she encountered Carl Jung's archetypes but developed her own system through lived experience. She reveals her personal story of being diagnosed with stage four lymphoma in 1999, which she attributes to the shadows of the rebel archetype, and describes a dramatic healing that occurred after she became aware of these shadows. Beth outlines the eight archetypes in order: child, rebel, warrior, nurturer, lover, hedonist, king, and alchemist, emphasizing the journey is a spiral, not a linear ascent. She and Steve discuss taking the archetype quiz on her website. Beth delves into the rebel archetype's shadows, including fighting blindly without purpose, attacking oneself, fighting out of boredom, and using change as a weapon to avoid inner conflict. She contrasts these with the rebel's gifts, such as taking up righteous fights, being an agent for positive change, leadership, speaking truth despite disapproval, and valuing one's own emotional and spiritual freedom. The conversation explores parallels with astrology and Mayan day signs. Beth analyzes how societal controllers understand and manipulate archetypes, using the pandemic as an example where child and rebel responses were hijacked. Steve shares his own experiences with rebel tendencies and moving towards the warrior archetype. Beth describes her coaching approach, starting with a conversation to see if there's a fit, and often combining courses with coaching. The episode concludes with Beth encouraging listeners to see shadows as gateways to freedom and Steve recommending her book.
