# Archetypal Energy > Archetypal energy describes primordial recurring patterns of consciousness that civilizations shape into recognizable forms like angels ascended masters and mythic figures. - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/archetypal-energy # Archetypal Energy Archetypal energy, in Bashar's framework, is the subconscious of the mass consciousness — an underlying current that does not usually manifest physically but populates a kind of inner reality with its own personalities. When portions of mass consciousness are viewed symbolically and projected into physical form, they overlap and give rise to the gods, spirits, and mythological creatures of the world's ancient stories. These are real essences — ideas that can take on consciousness of themselves — and when channeled they take on the personality of the channeler, which is why the same essence comes through differently through different people. > — Etheric Fauna And The Dragon (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/etheric-fauna-and-the-dragon) ## The substrate: etheric and astral fauna Bashar frames the astral and etheric realms as just as populated as physical reality, with forms of consciousness that may not always have a physiological counterpart. Anything physiological has astral and etheric counterparts, but not everything etheric solidifies into physical reality. Sometimes an etheric expression will push briefly into physical form and then withdraw, giving rise to mythologies and legends of creatures that individuals know they have perceived but cannot "prove" since they no longer manifest physiologically. > — Etheric Fauna And The Dragon (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/etheric-fauna-and-the-dragon) The dragon is given as one such example. It exists as an etheric expression that lives in the lower astral and etheric realms, only rarely pushing into physical reality. Ancient conditions were more conducive to longer manifestations; in the current transformational age, conditions are again becoming more conducive, and the veils between physical, astral, and etheric reality are thinning. Crop circles are named as one indication that things previously confined to the astral and etheric are again becoming capable of manifesting an aspect of themselves physiologically. > — Etheric Fauna And The Dragon (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/etheric-fauna-and-the-dragon) ## The dragon: humanity's collective power The dragon, in specific terms, is described as a manifestation of an aspect of the collective consciousness of humanity. It represents the core — the very deep ancient core of humanity's psychic wisdom — and the fullest expression of power in physical reality. The many-headed hydra of ancient symbol is explained on this view as a representation that the core archetypal being of the dragon contains many different levels of being and is capable of expressing itself in many ways, even within a single individual, "presenting many faces." > — Etheric Fauna And The Dragon (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/etheric-fauna-and-the-dragon) Bashar connects this directly to the brain: the first level of expressiveness of human physicality — the reptilian brain, the primitive, simple brain — is the level the dragon represents as far as collective intelligence is concerned. The combination of all of humanity's reptilian-level brain activity combines to form the level called the dragon. To tap into the dragon is to tap into the most original, most essential level of humanity's initial inception as spirit collectively into physical reality, and thereby to reclaim grounded power. > — Etheric Fauna And The Dragon (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/etheric-fauna-and-the-dragon) ## The hydra: one intelligence, many faces The same teaching broadens to a wider identification. Humans, grays, reptilians, and many others are presented as "different faces and different aspects of one larger intelligence." Bashar invites the listener to look at themselves as one of the heads of the hydra and trace back down the necks to the body — discovering their connection not only to all of themselves but to many other beings in creation that play their part in a shared history going back millennia and unto other worlds. > — Etheric Fauna And The Dragon (qa-2), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/etheric-fauna-and-the-dragon) This is the structural claim that makes archetypal energy more than personal symbolism: it is the form in which collective consciousness takes on personality and becomes approachable. The archetypal being is a way the mass consciousness can be perceived, named, and related to. ## Jupiter as the watchful father archetype A different category of archetypal presentation appears in the Jupiter monologue. Bashar traces the planet's name from the ancient Ayupiter — "sky father" — to its modern form, and describes how the collective consciousness has imbued Jupiter with the attributes of the father energy: the great red spot as the watchful eye, the Galilean moons as the first-born son (Ganymede) and daughter (Callisto) sent out to discover who they are, Io as the very representation of change, Europa as a hidden ocean of new life. The archetype is presented as an energetic the individual can connect to: "the father energy within yourself that guides you, the wind at your back, the wind in your sails." > — Monologue Jupiter eye Of The Storm The Watchful Father (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/monologue-jupiter-eye-of-the-storm-the-watchful-father) Saturn is paired as the deep mysteries of the mother; the two together, mother-father in balance, are presented as a center place of peace — "the eye of the storm, the eye of the father" — where one is always at the center of one's being, no matter how much chaos surrounds. > — Monologue Jupiter eye Of The Storm The Watchful Father (text), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/monologue-jupiter-eye-of-the-storm-the-watchful-father) ## Personal symbolic reflections At the scale of a person's own experience, archetypal presentations appear as reflective symbolologies — faces and eyes perceived in the surrounding world, for example, described as reflections of aspects of the personality and greater being rather than as independent external entities. Recognizing them is part of "gathering and collecting and pulling yourself together into a more holistic form." > — Archetypical Presentations Of Energy (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/archetypical-presentations-of-energy) ## Practical implications A learner can take several things from this teaching: Treat mythological and archetypal figures as real essences — forms in which collective consciousness takes on personality — rather than as either literal physical beings or mere fancies. > — Etheric Fauna And The Dragon (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/etheric-fauna-and-the-dragon) The personal meaning of an archetype is interpretive: perceiving faces, eyes, or symbolic figures is framed as reflective symbolology that supports integration, not as a claim that every perception names an independent external entity. > — Archetypical Presentations Of Energy (qa-1), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/archetypical-presentations-of-energy) Bashar's framing of the dragon as humanity's collective power is metaphysical; it is not historical or biological proof of a literal species, and it does not require belief in any particular cryptozoological claim. The Jupiter/Saturn father-and-mother imagery is offered as a contemplative tool — connecting to the father or mother energy within yourself — not as astronomy or as a claim about the planets themselves. Medical material in the linked transmissions (e.g., whale-sound "healing" as alignment with one's signature vibration) is metaphysical framing, not clinical treatment. The same transmissions explicitly pair such framing with practical, worldly actions and do not present it as a substitute for care. > — Etheric Fauna And The Dragon (qa-3), [Source](https://sassani.app/source-transmissions/etheric-fauna-and-the-dragon) ## Representative passages Anything that is physiological will have, to some degree, an astral and etheric counterpart, but not everything that is etheric will always manifest itself or solidify a version of itself in physical reality. … The dragon exists as an etheric expression. It, in a sense, inhabits or lives in the lower astral and etheric realms only rarely pushing itself for a variety of reasons into physiological reality.— Bashar, The combination of all of your reptilian level of the brain combines to form the level you call the dragon. … All together, you, the grays, the reptilians, many others, are different faces and different aspects of one larger intelligence. Start to look at yourselves in this way as one of the heads of the hydra, and you will begin to also be able to trace back down the necks to the body, your connection and your relationship, not only to all of yourselves, but to many of the other beings in creation.— Bashar, You are looking and seeing reflections of the ideas of many different aspects of your personality, many different aspects of your greater being, and in recognizing these, in seeing these reflective symbolologies, these archetypal presentations of energy, you are, in that sense, gathering and collecting and pulling yourself together into a more holistic form.— Bashar, Ayupiter means sky father. … It was thus then also accorded the name Ayupiter, the sky father who watches. … In the eye, in the center, there is calm and peace and solitude and introspection that goes all the way down that tornado-like funnel, back to the core, back to the heart. … Connect to the watchful father energy to tap into the guidance of your own father energy.— Bashar, ## Related - [Channeling](https://sassani.app/topic/channeling) - [Dream Reality](https://sassani.app/topic/dream-reality) - [Gaia & the Earth Crystal](https://sassani.app/topic/gaia) - [Symbolism](https://sassani.app/topic/symbolism) - [Collective Consciousness](https://sassani.app/topic/collective-consciousness) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/archetypal-energy.
