WHO IS THIS ARCHETYPE?
The Playmate embodies pure life force which creates his powerful sensual aura that attracts people and things to him. He opens all kinds of doors to share intimacy of varying intensity in many arenas, always expressing his eagerness to give birth to creative projects.
The Playmate focuses on the interdependence of life. He loves to break down barriers and dissolve boundaries that stand in the way of union. Within himself and in every relationship, this archetype seeks to allow more free movement and space for life force to spiral and flow.
The Playmate is a tantric master and can approach interactions in many different ways. He reads the moment and the other person completely in order to meet them where they are at, and where he can create the most value and healing for them. He holds the other in gentleness and readily walks away from those who aren’t ripe for true intimacy, knowing that a transformational seed has already tenderly been planted.
The Playmate is open and transparent about his intentions and engagements. He needs space and freedom in relationships. After all, he is a sexual healer and works directly with kundalini and not all partners can understand and see the beauty of that. The Playmate wants to have a solid understanding of a partner and relationship before he can commit fully.
He prefers friendship as the foundation of his love if he is to commit wholeheartedly and he won’t jump into bonds prematurely. Once he is committed there is complete devotion and the Playmate desires to penetrate to the core of his beloved. He yearns to commune–body, heart and spirit–in one field of awareness. To him, there is no limit to what is possible through true nakedness and intimacy.
The Playmate has a close relationship with the Peacemaker (6). Since she is very sensitive to what comes into her aura, the Playmate has to constantly purify his energy and intention if he wants to be intimate with her. She will only allow him to penetrate her when he is truly transparent and comes to her from a place of first being whole and sovereign in himself.
The Playmate has a powerful relationship with the Game Changer (55). Their connection is like a spiraling whirlwind that always moves, mutates, and evolves. The Game Changer holds the feminine spirit of freedom that awakens once she has transmuted what is keeping her in the energy of victimization. The Playmate has the courage to face his inner dishonesty and trauma. By not running away, he purges everything that comes to the surface. He knows that relationships are the clearing houses for personal and collective trauma.
Through the purging of emotional interference patterns and rising out of victimization these two archetypes can meet in higher frequency of openness and freedom. Through them we see that intimacy is a byproduct of inner transformation.
In mythical terms, the Playmate and the Game Changer represent the force of prime yang and prime yin respectively. The Playmate is the seed or semen and the Game Changer is the egg. Together these two archetypes circulate (Spirit & Dragon) energy in a microcosmic orbit through all the chakras.
This is a Taoist practice that creates intimacy and freedom. It prevents life force from getting stuck or only expressed through lower and denser energy centers. It also prepares the body for becoming a temple for the embodiment of more subtle spiritual energies.
We could say that by circulating the energy this way the Game Changer & the Playmate are moving from trauma to tantra. The power of human intimacy is the power of two human auras interacting to create a third aura, whilst in the process the two original auras are sublimated. This is the true meaning of Sacred Union.
The Playmate is the last of the four Portal Guardians of the Codon Ring of Union. The Alpha (7), the Philosopher (4), the Water Goddess (29) and the Playmate are the wayshowers for a new way of relating very similar to the dynamics between the Playmate and the Game Changer. This is where the shadows of intolerance, division and dishonesty can be integrated. It’s also where intimacy, devotion and understanding can blossom.
