Who is Thosanustra?
She is an archetype. Archetypes are patterns from life. Mother is an example of a universal pattern–an archetype.
Thosanustra is my chosen name for the Mother archetype. It includes Demeter, the Virgin Mother, Eve, and all Mothers-Grandmothers-and Great Grandmothers from past, present, and future thought forms. She lives “outside the box” in a state of joy. She is nurturing, inventive, and responsive. Like Ronald McDonald, she is caring, aware, playful, empathic, creative, and loving. Like my own mother, she is not judgmental and she can go “with the flow”.
The word (Thosanustra) came to me in an exercise led by Dr. Jean Houston. It has meaning to me, so I use it to collect anything I deem to be motherly. Over the years, my “Thosanustra” file has become a repository for creative, loving ideas.
She is my pseudonym for writing out my thoughts. Thosanustra is a nom de plume, an alias, an imaginary assumed name, and she speaks for me.
