However, Father Ong's vow of chastity represents an individual personal commitment on his part to mainline The Impotent Lover "shadow" forms of both the feminine Lover archetype in his psyche and The Impotent Lover masculine Lover archetype in his psyche.

In plain English, even though I have been an Ong fan for 60 years now, I now have to say here that Father Ong on an individual personal level did not embody a healthy form of the optimal and positive forms of the feminine Lover archetype in his psyche and the optimal and positive form of the masculine Lover archetype in his psyche.

In my estimate, both the men and the women who perform in porn videos are mainlining both The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in their psyches and The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the masculine Lover archetype in their psyches.

Good for them!

When boys and men watch women having sex in porn videos, those boys and men are mainlining The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine archetype in their psyches.

Good for them!

When I say "Good for" here, I any trying not to sound censorious about Father Ong's life or about the lives of the other individual persons I have referred to here. Just as all of them are wherever they are with respect to Robert Moore's vision of optimal human psychological development, so you to are wherever you are with respect to Robert Moore's vision of optimal human psychological development. In the present essay, I am once again discussing his vision of optimal human psychological development to enable you to use his terminology to profile yourself.

Good for you wherever you are in terms of Robert Moore's vision of optimal human psychological development!

Once you have formulated your profile of yourself, you will then be in a position to assess areas where you need to grow psychologically.

Now, I would be seriously remiss here if I did not also point out that I cannot point to even one person that I know of who embodies (or who has in the past embodied) the optimal and positive forms of both the feminine Lover archetype and the masculine Lover archetype in his or her psyches!

That is why in my OEN article about Robert Moore's work dated September 17, 2024, I refer to his thought about optimal human psychological development as a vision - because it has not yet been actuated in any person that I know of.

Nevertheless, I will also use Robert Moore's terminology about (1) The Impotent Lover "shadow" form, (2) The Addicted Lover "shadow" form, and (3) the one optimal and positive form of both the feminine Lover archetype and the masculine Lover archetype in the human psyche in the present essay.

Now, I titled one of my recent OEN articles "Thomas J. Farrell's Encore on Young Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman" (dated September 30, 2024):

As I watched the DVD version of the 1970s Wonder Woman television series (1976-1979; 59 episodes) on the big-screen television in the living room of my home in late August into September 2024, I became infatuated with the gloriously beautiful body of the young Lynda Carter in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume.

Now, as a result of my infatuation with young Lynda Carter's gloriously beautiful body in her wonderfully revealing Wonder Woman costume, I learned how to access the one optimal and positive form of the feminine Lover archetype in my psyche.
