Title: FIVE ETERNAL ARCHETYPES #1 AND #2 View count: 43 Rating: 0 (0 ratings) Description: Five Eternal Archetypes Alto saxophone, marimba, vibraphone, male narration By Todd Harper For Phillip Vinson 1)The Old Fisherman (Tranquility) 2)The Wanderer (Rapture) 3)The Eager Student (Learning) 4)The Farmer (Realization) 5)The Healer (Bodhisattva) This summer I re-read some ancient myths and thought about human archetypes. I considered how humans have evolved, and yet maintained the same tendencies. These musings became this piece of music. The Five Eternal Archetypes are based on five of the Ten Worlds (adapted from my study of Nichiren Buddhism). The Worlds are not places, but states of life that each of us experiences every day. We move though these states, either as a response to our environment (tranquility, rapture, learning, realization), or as a result of our own motivation (bodhisattva). My archetypes are representative of five life states. To learn more about these life states and other Buddhist concepts, please visit www.sgi-usa.org.
