Duluth, Minnesota (OpEdNews) September 24, 2024: I am writing the present short encore article as a follow-up to, and as a sequel to, three of my recent short OEN articles:
(1) "Young Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman" (dated September 3, 2024);
(2) "Robert Moore on Optimal Human Psychological Development" (dated September 17, 2024);
(3) "John A. Desteian on Love Relationships" (dated September 16, 2024).
As I indicated in my OEN article "Young Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman", I am discussing here the 1970s Wonder Woman television series starring the young Lynda Carter (1976-979; 59 episodes), which is available now in both a DVD version and, as of 2020, in a Blu-Ray version.
Both the DVD version and the Blu-Ray version include the pilot episode, as well as other special features including Lynda Carter's commentary on one episode in which she says that the plotlines in the 1970s Wonder Woman television series now seem "corny". Yes, they do. Nevertheless, I am still going to encourage you to watch those episodes as sympathetically -- and as empathetically -- as you can - that is, I am here encouraging you to view the beautiful young Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman as empathetically as you can.
In the present article, my thesis is that Wonder Woman as portrayed by the beautiful young Lynda Carter in the 1970s Wonder Woman television series is an archetypal figure and that when she is viewed empathetically can move the viewer to become infatuated with her and thereby evoke in the viewer himself or herself the optimal and positive form of the feminine Lover archetype of maturity in the human psyche.
Now, in my OEN article "Robert Moore on Optimal Human Psychological Development," I discuss both the feminine Lover archetype of maturity in the human psyche, and the masculine Lover archetype of maturity in the human psyche.
Each of those two archetypes of maturity is accompanied by two bipolar "shadow" forms:
(1) The Impotent Lover "shadow" form;
(2) The Addicted Lover "shadow" form.
In my OEN article, I point out that the Roman Catholic Church's moral vision embodies The Impotent Lover "shadow" forms of the masculine Lover archetype of maturity in the human psyche, and of the feminine Lover archetype of maturity in the human psyche.
Now, in real life, are their certain women who are themselves locked into The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in their psyches? Yes, indeed there are. All the women who are over 18 and perform legally in porn videos on the internet are mainlining The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in their psyches.
Moreover, all the boys and men who watch porn on the internet regularly are locked into The Addicted Lover "shadow" form of the feminine Lover archetype in their psyches.
