In this Light & Shadow episode, I explore the key role of the King archetype in the Master, and what it takes for a Master to transcend mere dominance to embody the greatness of a King. I will cover the virtues, responsibilities, and the nuanced balance required for a Master to lead, inspire, and nurture along with attributes—purpose-driven leadership, resilience, and authentic integrity—to forge a Master who is revered and respected. I also delve into the darker aspects of this archetype in becoming a Tyrant or a Weakling—the distorted versions of the King, where power is misused, and leadership turns into oppression or abdication. ----------- Visit masterslavelifestyle.com for more episodes, 90+ articles, and a free guide on mastering power exchange.
