Is not a child of God worth patience? I have shown you infinite patience because my will is that of our Father, from Whom I learned of infinite patience. His voice was in me as It is in you, speaking for patience towards the Sonship in the Name of its Creator.
Now you must learn that only infinite patience produces immediate effects. This is the way in which time is exchanged for eternity. Infinite patience calls upon infinite love, and by producing results now it renders time unnecessary.

The sage archetype is renowned for its quest for knowledge, one that is unique to itself. It is the archetype that seeks to know for knowledge’s sake, not for any ulterior or exterior motive. As this archetype endlessly pursues old and new forms of knowledge, the sage becomes a symbol of wisdom.
Problem:
Being a unique archetype with their own ways, the problem of the sage within relationships is that they will find it difficult to be with the right person. Because their idea and conception of love can be so wise and intellectualized, it will commonly not fit with most individuals.
Solution:
The solution for the sage archetype is to never give up and continue searching for the right person who can fit their well-thought-out idea of love. Because they seek knowledge for knowledge’s sake, they are the embodiment of philosophia which means love of wisdom. Their very act of pursuing knowledge is love in itself.

This is the most painful truth of male domination, that men wield patriarchal power in daily life in ways that are awesomely life-threatening, that women and children cower in fear and various states of powerlessness, believing that the only way out of their suffering, their only hope is for men to die, for the patriarchal father not to come home. — bell hooks
