The earth mother had a deep love and compassion for the little ones. Most of her attention was on nurturing, teach, helping, and guiding them. The teacher of cycles maintains those characteristics but reaches a higher level. She is no longer caught up in each moment, but maintains a larger focus across situations. She seeks patterns, flows and cycles that interlink the many she cares for and that shape their life and hers. As a Track 3, all of her attention is focused on guiding, protecting, teaching and providing for the young. At the B level she sees far more people as "young."
Below you can find the light- and shadow-side characteristics of the B3f archetype.
General Description
- Level: B, developing and expressing your truest self
- Track: 3, guiding and guarding others
- Ideal Partner: her ideal partner is the B3M
- Comes from: this is the progressed A3f - The Earth Mother
- Leads to: when fully encompassed, she moves to C3 - The Master Teacher
- Example: Elfpath's Rohaa
Be patient with yourself. It's all a process.
Light
Think of Elfpath's Rohaa, of her wisdom, passion, compassion, and gentleness. While she is still young in this LPA, she is beginning to express it clearly.
To fully encompass the light side of this archetype, it's necessary to encompass all of the items in this list and to be comfortable with all of the items in B3M. As you develop these items, all of the characteristics of the A3f - The Earth Mother, A3m - The Coach and the A0 - The Holy Child must continue to grow stronger to provide a solid base for these.
Like all B level LPAs, she pays more attention to fundamentals than to the surface. Because of this awareness, her actions don't always make sense to the younger ones but are usually correct.

- • She strives always to improve herself and pushes others to the same

Like all shadow-side B level LPAs, she is terrified of the heart, attacks it, and seeks to destroy anything heart-centered.
Like all shadow-side B level LPAs, she causes others to be more like herself, either intentionally or as a result of her out-of-control process.
Like all shadow-side B level LPAs, she is caught up in the surface, only rarely noticing the fundamentals.
