Gate 1 — The Trickster’s Court

Timeframe: Early adult wanderings, Zen Center years, pre-Alaska restlessness
Archetype in Play: Trickster fused with Shadow
Life Events:

• Mischievous, questioning energy apparent since childhood — the “poke and stir” instinct.

• At the Zen Center, dubbed “The Disrupter” and eventually booted from Green Gulch Monastery.

• Labelled “incorrigible” by someone close, but internally you felt these rejections were survival moves, freeing you from becoming spiritually stagnant.

• Drifted toward unconventional paths: travel, art, seeking experience over security.

Psychic Function:

• The Trickster tested boundaries, forcing you to reject structures that would suffocate you.

• Outwardly chaos; inwardly, preservation of the authentic self.

Gate 2 — The Anima’s Threshold

Timeframe: Alaska years, Sand Point & the FV Iceland experience, post-Alaska reflection
Archetype in Play: Anima emerging from behind the Trickster
Life Events:

• The “miracle” of landing on the Iceland crew — an intervention beyond logic, as though the unconscious set the stage.

• The raw beauty of the Aleutian landscape and sea — evoking a deep, emotional, almost mystical response.

• Sketchbooks and journals became your vessel for recording the felt meaning beneath events.

• Encounters with nature, danger, and isolation began to reveal the anima’s presence — not just disruption, but connection, awe, and a sense of belonging to something vast.

Psychic Function:

• The anima reframed the Trickster’s disruption — you weren’t just escaping; you were being led to experiences that awakened creativity, vulnerability, and reverence.

• This stage seeded the deeper self-reflection and artistry that would follow you.

Gate 3 — The Sage’s Pavilion

Timeframe: Post-Alaska to now — Terengganu years, SRI LOVELY farm, memoir creation
Archetype in Play: Sage / Self integrating Trickster & Anima
Life Events:

• Years in Malaysia practicing solitude, organic farming, Zen-inspired living.

• Transformative mentorship under Captain Zakaria, friendship with Adi the forest dweller — learning to hold stillness without needing to disrupt.

• Writing, art, and teaching — sharing insights without forcing them on others.

• The Trickster remains (humor, irreverence, instinct to stir when needed), but now works with your values instead of against them.

Psychic Function:

• This is individuation in motion — accepting all the inner figures and allowing them to collaborate.

• You’re aware of your Trickster, respect the anima’s wisdom, and increasingly consult the Sage before acting.
