As a complex, it will have a personalistic overlay that reflects the life experiences of the individual and an archetypal core. Archetypes themselves are neither good or bad - they are potentials for particular patterns of perception, behavior, and feeling. However, in a subjective sense, it does often feel "good" or enriching to make contact with the archetypal layer of experience because it connects us to the universal aspects of human existence and invests those connections with a sense of meaning.
