Archetype

An archetype is a concept you have to remember. There are no such things as archetypes that actually exist in reality. We can experience ourselves as the mother, but there is no such thing as something everyone could experience in the same way. Some people at some point are mothers. That's the reality. The archetype of the mother doesn't exist; it's an image, a concept. It is not a Presence. (Diamond Heart Book 3, pg 81)
