Personality types, archetypes, and soul patterning. Are we all stamped differently, right from our very beginnings?

Are there many different types of souls, like there are personality types?

Most Psychologists will agree that we all have different personality types, for example, extroverted, introverted, analytical/thinker, social/relator, loner/self-contained, etc etc. Further to this, some say that these personality types are linked into the different patterns existing within consciousness, and which the renowned psychotherapist/psychiatrist, Carl Gustav Jung (1875 to 1961) called archetypes. These archetypes are symbols that can appear in your dreams, for example, and can indicate to you how the ways that you are living your life are even affecting your very soul. Does our soul then also have different types too, different in their structure, or talents, which make them all unique? Do we have anything external that affects us, as deeply down as into our soul, in a "domineering" way like this? All souls are equally made from God's love, but the waves of that love can splash differently, more strongly, or weakly, against different ideas, thoughts, patternings, or consciousness itself. When they do this, consciousness is patterned differently, so that different ways of thinking emerge from this patterning as intuitional nudges, reaching the mind of the person concerned, so, that in this way, we all think differently to all others. All souls are made from God's love then, but they can grow differently from that love, and from the way that that love operates in them uniquely and individually so. We all have soul talents, soul gifts, and soul patterned consciousness differences then, I think. What do you think about this interesting topic?

If reincarnation is true we carry forward the experiences from one life to another. Then the soul is influenced thereby. Then when and where we are born also have an effect on our soul. Diversity is inbuilt in the creative process and our thinking and approach to life also vary. And over time during this lifetime we change with our experiences and that also affects the soul. I try to listen and heed the inner craving of the soul as I think it gives me the best and wholesome direction. I also think it is connected with our creator - siva

Yes, if reincarnation is true, I think that it would prove along with that the existence of something like our soul, that is taking on these new bodies each carnation, that it reblooms itself into a new flower, so to speak. With so much "evidence" of sorts out there, plus my own personal experiences of my remembering of my own past lives, and also my listening to my soul too, as you do, I think that there is far more here than just meets the eye. We need to look past what our outer eyes only see, and see with the inner eyes of our hearts. Then we get closer to knowing the real truth I think.

The Buddha said it was possible to be freed from the cycle of reincarnation. What happens after that? where does the "soul" go from there?

@josie_ Here is one idea I just come up with now. The soul itself never goes anywhere, but remains where it is right now. It sends out links to itself when it reincarnates into outer bodies, but like God, the soul is more or less statically put within God, who is a oneness of infinite proportions, but never the less is fixed as he is, unchanging and forever just as he is, as is our soul in its essence, but the outer world changes just because God's energy swirls its existence into ever new patterns with no real purpose other than to entertain his own boredom. I am sure we could come up with many other ideas too, but ideas are only just that, ideas.

I think it is a very interesting topic. I believe that even if there are those that are alike there is something that is different about them. I believe we are born and it is hard to tell how we will turn out. I guess I could say I turned out ok.

Yes, I agree with you. Each one of us is uniquely only ever ourselves, and yet at the same time some similarities can be seen, and similar "types" of personality can be grouped together, as has been done by many sets of psychologists over the years. One very basic one being extrovert/introvert.

I think Jung encouraged each of us to embrace as many archetypes as we would, so we could achieve "balance." I wonder which ones I've been neglecting.

Yes, if they are really all a part of us (these archetypes), to neglect any one of them, would tend to unbalance us. We should embrace all of who we are then.
