Summary

In this pioneering contribution to the emerging men's movement, Robert Moore, a Jungian psychoanalyst and Douglas Gillette, a mythologist, examine the inner King - one of the four archetypes on the male psyche. The inner King integrates power and nurturing, firmness and caring, courage and creativity, self-affirmation and self-sacrifice. From his central position between the world of imagination and the world of action, the King within challenges every man to take up his own scepter, to dream and to make them come true. The King Within both responds to the needs being formulated by the men's movement and addresses the larger questions of male psychology.

A must for men and women who are here to transform the world by transforming themselves

A much needed medicine for our collective wounded masculine. The King within all of us needs to be activated in order to re-establish and heal both our psyche, lives and the world. A wise guide into the King archetype with inspirational material for the journey.

Decent book

Some nice information in this book regarding being a King within your own life. For a short book it is a little bit repetitive.

Accessing the Sacred King



The end of chaos in one’s life, the death of the shadow’s chaos in our life, and the return of Order.

The King we await is within

Something to seriously consider

It is true that man are loosing their way however were moving away from being usurped by rulers who demand a tithe from us. Yes we do have a center within us that is masculine and only when we are centred do we fully realise ourselves. This is an interesting take on something that is a deep and nebulous as our unconscious minds. Men need to take responsibility for their own actions. This book gives only an indication and a point to start from. Good luck seekers. It is a journey that takes a lifetime to realise..

Worth listening to? Yes. Recommended fully.

the missing piece to help direct the masculine

I really enjoyed these archetypes and am grateful to have some material solely on the king to help integrate the rest of the characters into my life
