THE TALE OF THE TENDERFOOT
The Hero's Journey is not the only archetypal path that we'll walk in our lifetimes. And it's not the most important one, either.
In fact, in order to rise up, successfully, and accept our heroic calls to adventure, we must first take the test of the Tenderfoot.
✔️ If we pass, we get to awaken the Warrior within.
🆇 If we fail, then it'll be the Warrior's dark and destructive shadow sides that await us.
I'm so excited to share this powerful, beautiful journey with you, and can't wait to hear your thoughts!
ARCHETYPAL CHARACTER ARCS
This is the 3rd in a series of 14 short videos on the topic of archetypal character arcs.
Each journey includes:
- 1 protagonist who transitions between (at least) two archetypes
- 1 positive-change story arc (the journey of transformation)
- 2 archetypal antagonists (the baddies)
- 2 shadow selves (the dark sides of each archetype)
- a selection of specific strengths and virtues as rewards
- and a particular lie vs. truth - the real acid test for our transformation
As archetypal, these journeys resonate for us on an instinctive level: we know the challenges in our bones; the archetypes are etched onto our DNA. But that doesn't mean we'll all pass the test.
Watch this video to find out if you've victoriously walked the path of the Tenderfoot yet, and what you need to do to take the test now, if not.

I am 32 and discovered late last year that I'm in charge of my life. There are things I cannot control at all, but I can always control what next step to take in any given situation. I'm at a place in my life where I have gone from being stuck in the same cycle to breaking free of it one choice at a time. It is empowering. I try to catch myself making excuses, or saying things because they sound true without really knowing what I am talking about - and course correct. I'm not afraid of being wrong. I'm open to letting someone change my mind because I am more interested in the truth than in being defensive and protecting my ego. I know I still have a lot to learn, and a long way to go, but I feel like I have taken the first step toward a free and fulfilling life.

I'm glad the video specified that this is a modern, Western concept of life's journey, where the sovereignty of the individual is emphasized as the highest goal, which, when attained, entitles one to unlimited freedom and opportunity. There is very little value placed on dissolution of the ego, responsibility to and reciprocity with the other-than-human, and the ultimate journey of union with the divine
@Betwixt_App 12 күн бұрын
Those things are all in the later arcs, which I find fascinating. Rather than individuation and ego strengthening being the highest goal, this narrative suggests that those things are merely foundational, and comparatively immature, too. I think this is where we get things so very wrong in the movies and other modern storytelling - by focusing on the Hero’s Journey (the arc after this one) almost to the exclusion of all others, we deprive ourselves of much real adult growth, and end up societally frozen in a juvenile archetype.

0:38: actually, some CAN pick and choose. That is what enlightenment is all about. It is not likely that a 17 year old girl can be a seer… but doesn’t the story of Joan of Arc say it’s possible? Isn’t the sole requirement of that archetype the “ability to see” what others cannot? The little boy in the Emperor’s New Clothes fable shares the ability to see what others cannot. Interestingly, it’s often because people feel they must conform to society’s archetypes that they lose the ability to see. Elder folks often become able to see the world more clearly because they tire of living up (a or is it down?) to the expectations of society.

Oh, definitely! Any journey can be taken and retaken at any stage of life. But to fully live the arc, we need to have learned the lessons of the previous ones. So we would need to have lived those early too. In other words, it would be unusual, but definitely possible. In reality, I think we’re much more likely to live these arcs in micro (rather than macro) ways. And when we look at the mini versions of these paths walked in particular contexts or situations, we can feasibly be walking all of them at once in different ways.

I'm 32 and currently going through this phase. The only thing that I feel is holding me back from scoring a solid 10 is the idea that in order to survive in the world outside you have to make some compromises (with financial possibilities, with physical capabilities, with time available for my own growth etc.), which I tend to see as a form of submission to authority. Lately though I am realizing that the idea of compromise being an obstacle may very well be a manifestation of my inner Predator - my inner doubts, which I listen to when I sabotage my choices for fear of engaging in full conscious decision of following through, just because it doesn't come as easy as not having to make any compromise - or choice).

I'm 63 and I feel like I've been working on moving through this stage since adolescence! I feel like every step was more of a struggle for me (for many females I'm sure), since my parents were overprotective of me (moreso than my brother and sister) and my dad in particular didn't understand why a woman would leave her home before marriage. He wasn't awful about it - just didn't get it. And yet it feels like I overcame the struggle and then met it again - overcame it again - and I still keep meeting it and struggling to overcome it. I have trouble earning enough money and it makes it difficult to resist it when my ex offers to help. So I think the answer to your question is - I would need to embrace my worthiness and value in terms of earning money - but I might also need to be able to embrace the possibility of losing everything material (including home) - to have that courage - in order to finally move forward with this. I'm looking forward to watching the next video! And the Warrior videos as well so that I can see whether I've been in that stage at all and what it might look like when I finally move out of this stage.

Thank you so much for making this. Watching this has made me realize that earlier in my youth, I began the process of indivuation sloppily and have sort of stumbled through it. Organization really does wonders for the mind, and your breakdown of this structure was perfectly succinct. It's also made me realize that some of, if not all of, the people in my life that I previously looked up to and have recently been frustrated with are stuck in this phase or have chosen the lie. No wonder it's been so difficult to impress the urgency of various national and global crises upon them- though my struggles expressing myself verbally are definitely a component as well. Subscribed and I eagerly await the shadow tenderfoot archetypes as well as the rest.

Interesting. Feels like it would be easier to answer the question with already hearing the next part, describing what 'failure' looks like as it were This stage sounds a lot like unravelling the knots of protective negative belief/protective behaviour/ego/pride/shame that helped one survive childhood, but now block more fluid responsiveness as a grown person with more skills and awareness. But I found the question a little hazy around independence vs the positive aspects of learning to trust (safe) others that might be part of trauma healing, or avoidant attachment etc. I suppose that is more 'equal' relating - learning 'interdependence' rather than 'submission to authority'... maybe you see that as part of the next archetype? I think there was an international study about Maslow's needs that showed they don't have to be filled in order as people often say. You can make up some of your 'overall happiness rating' from other 'higher' levels if you have a gap in sense of safety or belonging for instance. I relate to that here, as I feel like the many of the later stages are more settled than this one - which I am still actively strengthening. Skipping this step could be cognitive or spiritual 'bypassing' of needs, or become another block. I guess in your terms, a substitute archetype can become a new internal authority if it stops growth. But also a resource in times of need. my comment is a bit gangly because I'm trying to relate this idea back to the embodied self - sense of safety in the body and autonomic nervous system which also forms a big part of our apparent personality. I'm also wondering if this series will echo Chakra concepts for wellbeing, over-stimulation and blocks to flow in that sense... I guess, when it comes to any system of stepped hierarchy of experience, I want to hear the exceptions! Because of how adaptable people are psychologically, even if it's not exactly full wellbeing that they are experiencing. Maintaining homeostasis and self awareness is many-stranded, and not many people reach peak human as far as I can tell... even if we are on a journey to find the Self

I agree with all of this, and in real life I actually don’t think we need to have strictly and fully completed earlier arcs in order to walk the later paths. I do reckon we need to have made *some* headway with the earlier learnings to truly integrate the later ones, but I reckon we could feasibly be on all paths at once, as well as finding ourselves taking and retaking them in a muddled order. Basically, no one can live the archetypal life so we can’t translate this stuff literally. But the wonderful thing is that that doesn’t stop the stories from resonating in the way that they do, or from being powerful tools for reflection and growth. I just love their simplicity, and how different people will take such different insights from them. Oh, and I hadn’t thought to compare this journey to Maslow’s needs. There are definitely parallels. There are more with Erikson’s stages of development, though, which is interesting.

Perhaps thinking of the authority figures as consultants for a while could help with transitioning into more confidence in your own decisions and actions. You could see them more as equals who help inform your own judgements until you begin to trust yourself more; then you could rightfully hold your head high and deem yourself worthy of that title. It's scary sometimes (at least it was for me) to begin to step out as "an authority" with all the responsibilities unsaid in that term. Hang tough.💛

@@Betwixt_App My dad grew up across the street from the Roadhouse hidden in a cornfield, down a dirt road. He had other plans besides being a teen parent. I'm guessing he was booked there because he looked and sang like Sinatra and had custom suits made in Chicago at 15. And since my dad was small they expected him to be a jockey. The racehorses were kept in the far pasture. No one ever questioned the old Packard with bullet holes back there???? When my Grandfather died my dad inherited the HideOut where I grew up. 3 hours out of Chicago in the middle of a cornfield and down a dirt road. My dad's life flipped at 18 and he was NOT happy. I became the object of his irritation. Except he couldn't ignore that we were the same. If grandpa had not died I would have been the Sharon Stone Character in "Casino" and my Dad stared you down like Robert. LOL

My warrior was murdered by chronic illness (me/cfs). 😿
@Betwixt_App 12 күн бұрын
Oh no!! I also have CFS, and it can’t murder your Warrior, I promise. We just have to learn to live by different rules than before (and, actually, the Warrior is really important for that as it’s the part of us that states and upholds our boundaries).

Would the Ghibli film Ponyo also be a Tenderfoot story?

I haven’t seen it but I just looked up a synopsis (see below), and it certainly sounds like it has an Authority antagonist and strong Protected > Real World theming, so it’s very likely, yes!! Thanks for the suggestion!! I’d like to add more to my list 🩶 Synopsis: During a forbidden excursion to see the surface world, a goldfish princess encounters a human boy named Sosuke, who gives her the name Ponyo. Ponyo longs to become human, and as her friendship with Sosuke grows, she becomes more humanlike. Ponyo's father brings her back to their ocean kingdom, but so strong is Ponyo's wish to live on the surface that she breaks free, and in the process, spills a collection of magical elixirs that endanger Sosuke's village.

@@Betwixt_App Thank you. It's a retelling of the little mermaid if I remember correctly. Any time I can add to a list with a different work I know I've understood. So thanks

0:36 why do you say your gender neutral when the graphic at this point is clearly sex differentiated? Also, what does “still mage” mean?
@Betwixt_App 12 күн бұрын
The graphic at 0:36 is not sex differentiated (the gendered archetypes in the bracket are telling you what the rest of the is based on). And “still Mage” means that the Mage is still called the Mage, because this was the only one of the six original archetypes that wasn’t gendered.

@@Betwixt_Appthanks for the speedy reply! There is a word missing in your reply which might help me. Is it, rest of the ‘literature’ is based on? I was about to edit, was it because the female side isn’t maiden/mother/crone. Anyway, I think I get it, so thanks.
@Betwixt_App 12 күн бұрын
Ah, no, I meant the rest of the graphic. And yes, the Maiden sometimes goes by the name of Virgin, and the Queen arc is the same as the Mother arc :-)
