#6 Mythology, Shadow Archetypes & Conspiracy Theories - AEM Podcast #6 Eivind F Skjellum

 In today's Podcast I talk with the founder of Reclaim Your Inner Throne, Eivind F Skjellum. Today we will be looking at conspiracy theories and how when we get lost in them this keeps us small and powerless.  Eivind is the visionary founder of Reclaim your Inner Throne, an organization spearheading both a renaissance and an evolution of archetypal men’s work.  Recognized as an authority in men's work and the King, Warrior, Magician, Lover archetypes, he's an innovator in the field and has supported hundreds of men in transforming their lives.  Eivind is currently focusing on writing, developing the RYIT organization and trainings, and creating A World where People thrive by supporting one million men become evolutionary entrepreneurs by year 2050.  Today Eivind talks about mythology and it's relationship to conspiracy theories. He talks about how myths are deep truths and its connection with being and becoming. Why is it that by getting lost down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole for men can keep you small? He also goes on to talk about 4 ways that we as men can start to break the hold that these conspiracies hold over us and start to live empowered and benevolent lives. --- With conspiracy theories taking off in the world, we're being divided between those who believe them and those who don't. Yet today's talk by Reclaim your Inner Throne founder Eivind F. Skjellum is not about what is true or not. Instead he talks about he dynamics of disempowerment that are part and parcel of conspiratorial thinking. Some questions that he answers are: - What drew you to get interested in the work that you now do with men, especially around the archetypes? - Why getting lost in conspiracy theories can destabilize us? What do you see happening currently? - I would interested in your view around the shadows and how Robert Moore says that in order to connect to the positive pole of the archetype the bipoloar shadow has to be integrated as much as possible first. How do we integrate the shadow? - With what is unfolding in the world (lockdown/ riots/ reconnection with nature) how can this be connected to the archetypes? - I would like you to speak about initiation and your view on whether what is unfolding globally could be linked to the lack of positive initiation ceremonies especially with men. How do we bring back initiation in a positive way? - You talk about embodying the Warrior energy in some of your other videos – how do we do that as men? How do we take our power back? --- To learn more about the work that Eivind does with men please visit his website at https://www.inner-throne.com/ To join his Facebook group please visit: https://www.facebook.com/groups/863316220362727/ And to download the free book Where Peasants become Kings: https://www.inner-throne.com/ebook ---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.
