When the Mirror Breaks: Archetypes, False Gods & Remembrance

Share episode

Have you ever wondered why certain figures command such fierce devotion, even when their flaws are undeniable? Or why we keep circling inside systems that clearly no longer serve us? The answers live beneath the surface - in the archetypal patterns we’ve inherited, projected onto, and mistaken for truth.

Archetypes aren’t just symbols - they’re living frequencies. Primordial currents that shape how we lead, follow, rebel, and remember. The impulse to nurture became the Mother. The instinct to protect became the Warrior. These are not roles to play - they are energetic grooves etched across timelines and soul memory.

But what happens when these archetypes distort?

In this revelatory episode, we name the patterns most fear to look at - using Donald Trump not as a political figure, but as a mirror for three key distortions:

  • The false king, who craves control over service
  • The distorted trickster, who thrives on chaos for gain
  • The hollow idol, who becomes a screen for mass projection

Yet this isn’t about one man. It’s about us - and what we’ve crowned, worshipped, and feared.

We trace the roots of our misplaced devotion - to the punishing god we were taught to fear, and the hollow savior we were told to await. We explore how these false gods and fractured archetypes created the very conditions for distortion to rise.

But as the old idols crumble - from kings to celebrities to spiritual influencers - something holy is stirring beneath the rubble. Not a new savior. Not a stronger idol. But the return of what was always there.

This is not just an unraveling. This is a return.
 Not to old forms - but to the field beneath them all.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to the Remembrance Codes, a reminder to you that this is a sacred space. It asks for your presence and your breath and your openness. What we are about to talk about and explore may feel layered and possibly charged, but it is not offered in judgment. It is offered as a mirror. Not offered in judgment. It is offered as a mirror, a mirror that might reflect the energies we are navigating within and around us in a time of great unraveling. We are talking about archetypes and collapse, and I am going to talk about Donald Trump, but it is not as a political figure, but as a carrier of energetic patterns that exist far beyond him. We will speak of God, not to dismantle faith but to reclaim it, and, of course, we'll speak of ourselves, because ultimately, all of this begins and ends with us. So let's start with what are archetypes?

Speaker 1:

Archetypes are not just characters and stories. They are living frequencies, primordial patterns of energy that shape how we relate, lead, how we resist, how we betray and how we return. They do live in myths and in scripture and in films, but also in our parents. In us there is the archetype of the mother and the warrior, and the child and the rebel, the king, the trickster, the prophet, the fool, and we each carry some of these, sometimes unconsciously, and they're not inherently good or bad. They are tools of awareness, they are tools in our becoming. But when they remain unexamined or when we outsource them to others without discernment, they can become distorted and distorted. Archetypes, especially when amplified through power and visibility, can shape entire cultures. Understanding archetypes will help us understand why certain figures rise, why they command such devotion and adoration and what parts of ourselves they reflect back. But before we move on, let's understand them a little bit more fully.

Speaker 1:

Archetypes were not created by somebody. They are the residue of remembrance. They formed as echoes of essence. There was no being, no God, no council that sat down and was like. Let's design the archetypes like they're costumes for us to wear or roles for us to play. Rather, the archetypes emerged as natural energetic patterns. They were born from the recurrence of intention in the field of creation. So as souls began experiencing embodiment across planets and dimensions and timelines, certain things repeated the yearning to nurture became the mother, the call to protect became the warrior, the impulse to seek source became the mystic, the dance with light and shadow became the trickster. And because consciousness leaves imprints, every repeated truth or distortion carves an energetic groove, and these grooves became the archetypes. So did we create them or did they shape us Both? This is one of those places where time kind of folds in on itself.

Speaker 1:

Archetypes are the living memory of how consciousness tends to move through form. They are not rigid roles that we are assigned. They are pathways of possibility. They are vibrational templates that we can walk or distort, or refine or transcend. We created them by walking through certain patterns again and again, and then, once they existed, we began to recognize ourselves in them. Some we carried from the beginning and the others we chose to walk to gain wisdom.

Speaker 1:

And here's the sacred twist the archetypes remember us too. They are not flat symbols, they are alive in the field. And once one is activated in you, when you walk it with reverence, or distort it or restore it, it ripples across the whole. And that's why reclaiming an archetype is never just a personal path. It is collective restoration. Before we can build what's next, we have to see clearly what is crumbling. And part of dismantling old systems spiritual, political, cultural is naming the distorted patterns that keep them in place. We're not just watching the collapse of governments or institutions, we are watching the collapse of false gods, the gods of control, domination, reward and punishment, fear-based devotion.

Speaker 1:

And that brings me to a moment I want to share, because the deeper understanding of this did not come through research. It came through a dream, a soul reaction and a breaking open that I now know was a really important moment in my journey journey. So what happened is a month or two ago. I had a dream and in it Trump was present and he was the mirror, and I don't mean he was standing in front of a mirror, but somehow he, he, was the physical mirror. And I woke up and I was like very clear and very present in my mind and it was so weird that I knew it was calling me to seek the deeper meaning. So I opened the Akashic Records and what came through was not just about one man, it was about the archetypes he carries and how we collectively gave them power. And it made sense. I could understand the collective experience a little better.

Speaker 1:

When I speak of the archetypes moving through Trump, this is not a personal attack, it's an energetic naming. He is a vessel for three distorted archetypes, each of which hold cultural resonance the false king, the trickster and the hollow idol. So let me explain those just briefly. Well, the king archetype in its divine form is lies and protective and selfless. But the false king seeks control and loyalty and personal empire. He does not serve the people, he seeks to rule over them. He punishes dissent and he demands worship and the trickster, when sacred, shakes the system to awaken truth. But the distorted trickster sows chaos for self-gain Contradictory, confusing, magnetic and often humorous, but thrives in distortion. And people cling to him because he represents disruption, but the disruption never leads to liberation. And then there's the hollow idol, and this is the archetype of projection. People see what they need to see A savior, a strong man, a voice for the forgotten.

Speaker 1:

And I understood we have been worshiping the wrong things, we have been giving hollow idols our power. So that's what happened the celebrities, the athletes. And it made sense. And I shared it on social with some props for internal reflection. Even if you're not a fan of Trump, you could be contributing to the collective experience if you have been projecting divinity onto something else.

Speaker 1:

And then, a couple of days later, I had that 3 am. And then a couple of days later I had that 3 am, solstice, and I would normally have to sneak out of my room quietly to not disturb Mark, but he was traveling, he was out of country, and so, after I tossed around for a few minutes, I ended up just understanding that I wasn't going back to sleep and I wasn't meant to and I decided to grab the book that I had begun the night before and read it. And I was reading Mary Magdalene Revealed by Megan Watterson, and the author had been at an internship at the Navajo Nation and the family she was staying with had been trying to convert her the entire time by telling her all of the things that are banned for Christians to do and what the punishment was if they did them. She had received pamphlets and attempted Jesus interventions to save her soul from eternal damnation. And when the couple is driving Megan and the other intern to the airport, I guess they had their last ditch efforts trying to, you know, gain the girl's salvation through conversion. And in Megan's head she's screaming back at the woman.

Speaker 1:

I feel sorry for you that your God is so small, that your God has such a fragile ego He'll send us all to hell if we don't believe in him and that your Jesus only loves his own followers, people who have surrendered over everything to him like a power-hungry, twisted cult leader. I think you've missed the whole point. You've mistaken God for power. I think, whoever the hell Jesus was, he was about love. I think Jesus was a love. That's the opposite of power.

Speaker 1:

Y'all I read that and that was it. It was like a lightning bolt moment. That paragraph undid me. I broke down and I wept, and when the bed couldn't hold me anymore, I moved to the bathroom floor and I wept there deeper and louder, not because it was new, but it confirmed what I had already known but hadn't spoken about that our false worship, our allegiance to a punishing, controlling God and our hollow praise of a savior we truly never knew is exactly what allowed a man like Trump to rise.

Speaker 1:

We didn't just build a broken political system. We built it on top of distorted theology and, if we're honest, that feels harder to confront than politics ever did, because you can debate policy but question somebody's God. That's some rough terrain, and I knew in that moment that's what I came here to do Not to tear down beliefs but to clear the distortion. Not to shame devotion, but to invite it home. And y'all, I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried, I cried for how far we've wandered. I cried for those who still serve a God that demands their fear, and I cried for the weight I felt for the responsibility I carry. I felt grief. To be honest, I felt a little sorry for myself because the knowing felt too big for my body. But you know what else? I felt A deep resolve Because I knew I would speak, hard as it may be, and not in opposition to faith, but in service to it.

Speaker 1:

We have to call out distortion, we have to acknowledge the Savior in our midst, our collective Savior. There is no divine root. There is only the reflection of unhealed collective desire, reflective of our worship of a hollow image of Jesus, quoted, relied upon to outcast others, but rarely truly known or embodied. We all carry these patterns the false king within us that seeks control, the trickster who manipulates, the part that craves someone else to carry the burden. But we also carry the sacred forms, the sovereign, the sacred fool, the living icon rooted in essence. And while Trump may be one of the most amplified carriers of the distorted archetype, he's not the only one. In fact, we are living through a time when collective projections are collapsing and with them, so are the archetypes that we've worshipped in silence.

Speaker 1:

The false god cannot be restored, but what it replaced can be remembered. The false god is not an archetype in itself. It is a mask placed upon the divine by those who wish to control others through fear. It is the punisher disguised as the protector. It is the scorekeeper posing as a savior, the distant king demanding obedience and calling it love. This was never God. This was empire cloaked in sanctity. And so we do not restore the false God. We remove the mask. Mask Beneath the false god is the living God, not a being but a field. The true source is not male or female, or jealous or wrathful. It is the pulse of life that expands through love and coherence. It creates without control. It offers without demand. It liberates, not legislates. So what is being restored isn't the idol, it's our capacity to feel and walk with an unnameable presence that the false god was built to obscure. It might sound in you something like this I do not fear God, I remember her, I walk with him, I listen beyond the thunder and I hear the stillness. I bow to nothing that requires my silence to receive its love. So when people ask, how do we restore God after so much harm was done? In the name of god y'all. This is not a rebranding campaign, it's remembering. We do not need to fix the image. We need to return to the presence that was never distorted, only hidden.

Speaker 1:

This collapse, you guys, of projections is not just in the US, and it's not just political, it's spiritual, it's systemic, it's personal and across the world stage we are watching the unraveling of false kings and hollow queens, of false kings and hollow queens. The royal family, once wrapped in myth and divine right, is now revealed as a lineage of silence, protection of shadow and ceremonial emptiness. Hollywood icons that have been revered for beauty and art or power are being stripped from the illusion. The celebrity god archetype is dying, not because we hate beauty, but because we're done mistaking performance for presence and tech giants. The new priests of progress, are being exposed for building towers of Babel without souls. The oracle genius archetype, once revered as the savior, is no longer trusted to carry the future in wholeness. And none of this is to shame those individuals. It is to name the truth. These figures were never the source of power we were. They simply mirrored where we still believed we needed saving. The age of projection is ending and what is rising now is not a new king or a new queen, or a savior. It's you.

Speaker 1:

So I ask you to reflect as the illusions fall. Ask yourself where have I projected divinity onto institutions that have no living spirit left? What archetype have I chased outside of me instead of rising into it within? What distorted archetypes have I given my power to? Where do I still fear God rather than walk with the divine? What version of Jesus or Yeshua have I followed? One crafted by culture or one I've actually met in presence? And perhaps most importantly, what am I ready to reclaim? Because we are not here to be ruled. We are not here to worship fear. We are not here to give our sovereignty to hollow kings or empty saviors. We are here to remember and to walk each other home.
