Mano: An essay on fraternal love
Keywords:
Brother archetype, fraternity, cooperation, animus, selfAbstract
The article considers the positive aspect of the Brother archetype, as well as the fraternal bond. In a man, this archetype manifests as partnership, cooperation, and stimulus to spirituality. In a woman, the Brother archetype is experienced externally through a relationship of loving support and internally through the propelling force of the animus. Culturally, fraternity and cooperation are essential to oppose the prevailing destructiveness.
