Fathering Yourself Into Manhood

Your father, no matter how absent or how flawed or how perfect you think he was, is not the final authority in your sense of self worth. Inside of every man is an inner father is an archetype. The psychological function that can guide you, help to create discipline within you, and affirm a deeper sense of self healing. The fatherhood wound actually means awakening that inner father inside of you that is amoral. That is not about your father. It is about the universal father, the archetypal father. And this is what we're really doing when we do what I call fathering yourself, learning how to connect with that archetypal father and really fathering yourself as a man. This is the process of reclaiming your own inner sense of authority and inner integrating the masculine principle consciously.
