Typology is the study of type. It is the study of all kinds of types. Here we are based on the personality types of mbti.
So what is beyond type?
Our first step is into archetypes. And we discover archetypes from the study of clichés.
And our purpose is to free us from archetypes.
Archetypes are so powerful because they are unconscious and guide and inform our social life.
We can wallow unknowingly in archetypes, or pop out the top, where the air is freshly minted.
For instance, Marilyn Monroe is both an archetype and a person. And we can start to free ourselves from the archetype, by discovering Marilyn as a person.
Marilyn is both the archetype of sexiness and as a person was treated as garbage at the bottom of American society and at the top.
Yes, at the bottom as an abused child, Marilyn was treated as social garbage. Marilyn then struggled for her whole life for love and acceptance from society. And finally after great efforts, and even talent, Marilyn reached the very top of American society in a sexual relationship with the President of the United States, JFK. Alas the President knew she was garbage and treated her like garbage and handed her on to his brother the Attorney General of the United States, Robert Kennedy, for more sexual abuse.
Nothing had changed for Marilyn. She was abused when she first arrived, she hoped and worked for love and social acceptance, but only met sexual abuse from the bottom to the top of American society. So meeting abuse everywhere in American society, Marilyn despaired and committed suicide.
So we have a choice: we can treat Marilyn as a person, or we can collude with American society and hide the sexual abuse of Marilyn behind the archetype. We can proselytise the sexy archetype of American society, Marilyn Monroe, or we can discover our humanity and the humanity of Marilyn.
