The Trickster has many names and is talked about in every culture in some way, shape, or form. You may wonder why we are talking about this. The truth is, we all have a bit of the Trickster operating inside of our minds. It is an aspect of the mind that keeps you tripping over your feet and then laughs at you for falling.
What is the trickster? The shadow side stays hidden and then shows up in our lives when we least expect it. It has also been called Satan, the adversary, or the Devil, the accuser. Once you understand how it operates, you can quickly identify it in your life and in the world.
“It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks.”
Helen Keller
“The best lies about me are the ones I told.”
