We live in a dual reality, opposite polarities, yin /yang, male/female, good/ evil, God/Devil or Trickster. Our reality is created by electromagnetic energy fields, the poles of North and South, positive and negative energy. This is a game. In order to win the game you must create balance. You can beat the trickster if you ignore that which he brings as challenges. Our soul spirals its consciousness into a physical body to experience different roles and emotions. The trickster 'stirs the pot' and creates the drama, to that end. | |||
