The Archetype is a form, an image, a Being. This Being lives in the Collective Unconscious.
The Goddess of Wealth is an Archetype. She’s submerged there, but she can also present Herself in your dreams and in your meditation, which is why an image is very helpful. The image of Lakshmi (a picture, or a statue) would help a lot because it will activate the unconscious mind.
You can also have a relationship with the Archetype because we are human beings. As human beings we have a need to relate to other beings because we are social animals. So, the Archetype fulfills that function of being someone [you can relate to].
Shreem Brzee is not only just a mantra or a yantra on which the Sanskrit words are inscribed, but also a being. It is similar to the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is a being. It’s not a spirit that is unmanifested. In Christian literature they said the Holy Spirit is a person.
In the same way, Shreem Brzee is a person, and you can have a relationship with the mantra.
