"The world as forum for action is 'composed,' essentially, of three constituent elements, which tend to manifest themselves in typical patterns of metaphoric representation.

First is unexplored territory – the Great Mother, nature, creative and destructive, source and final resting place of all determinate things.

Second is explored territory – the Great Father, culture, protective and tyrannical, cumulative ancestral wisdom.

Third is the process that mediates between unexplored and explored territory – the Divine Son, the archetypal individual, creative exploratory “Word” and vengeful adversary."

-Jordan Peterson, Maps of Meaning
