Can one be multiple archetypes of Jung?

@Septimus did an excellent job of explaining this. I’m impressed.
Most people get “lost” in the details.

Ideally, ONE (Christ/Buddha/Krishna consciousness) is able to masterfully take up any of the 12 archetypes as needed.

We all do this to some degree in our lives anyways…
At work, you are a worker.
At home, you become the “parent (ruler/caregiver)” or “spouse(lover)” etc.

Where people have difficulties is when they get “stuck” or they are unable to easily switch to the needed “archetype” for the specific situation.

Using the above metaphor…
a parent can’t always be “the caretaker” when they need to be the “ruler” and vice versa
ie … always too strict vs always too lenient with their kids.
