* MEMORIES – past experiences from this life
* FORGOTTEN CONSCIOUS— memories from past lives

SIGN
•A word or physical sign which represents one object.–initials: U.S.A., NASA, NHS–traffic signs–trademarks: “Just do it,” “I’m lovin’ it.”
•Meaningless in itself; gains meaning through usage.
![Page 12: ARCHETYPES](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56814fa5550346895dbd63ff/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SymbolSymbol• An object that stands for something
else. This can be a letter, a character, or a sign.– the American flag– a police badge– the Greek letter delta
• These objects are specific to a culture, a community, some times a specific novel.

Can you see anything
problematic about
archetypes?
![Page 34: ARCHETYPES](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/56814fa5550346895dbd63ff/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Anything that suggests that dark is bad and light
is good can be
dangerousdangerous in the wrong hands, and it does
not represent all cultures.

Any system of thought that limits males and females to
certain types rather than allowing them autonomy to choose what kind of person
to be can be
dangerous.
