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. | |||
When you abuse someone, that is the trickster in you, showing itself. When you allow yourself to be abused, playing the victim, and remain stagnant in your life, the trickster aspect of you is in control. | |||
==Carl Jung, The Trickster Archetype== | |||
A primitive cosmic being of divine-animal nature, on the one hand superior to man because of his superhuman qualities, and on the other hand inferior to him because of his unreason and unconsciousness. The more civilized we become, the more we will blame a "shadow" for our misfortunes. Like the trickster of old, the shadow represents a quality that isn't accepted into the awareness. It can 'pester' us unmercifully but always has a gift for us, a missing quality, an attitude needed to cope, or self-realization. | |||

All cultures have tales of the trickster, a crafty creature who uses cunning to get food, steal precious possessions, or simply cause mischief. In some Greek myths Hermes plays the trickster. He is the patron of thieves and the inventor of lying, a gift he passed on to Autolycus, who in turn passed it on to Odysseus. In Slavic folktales, the trickster and the culture hero are often combined. | All cultures have tales of the trickster, a crafty creature who uses cunning to get food, steal precious possessions, or simply cause mischief.

In later folklore, the trickster/clown is incarnated as a clever, mischievous man or creature, who tries to survive the dangers and challenges of the world using trickery and deceit as a defense. He also is known for entertaining people as a clown does. For example, many typical fairy tales have the king who wants to find the best groom for his daughter by ordering several trials. No brave and valiant prince or knight manages to win them, until a poor and simple peasant comes. With the help of his wits and cleverness, instead of fighting, he evades or fools monsters and villains and dangers with unorthodox manners. Therefore, the most unlikely candidate passes the trials and receives the reward. More modern and obvious examples of that type include Bugs Bunny and Pippi Longstocking. | In later folklore, the trickster/clown is incarnated as a clever, mischievous man or creature, who tries to survive the dangers and challenges of the world using trickery and deceit as a defense.

[[Chaos-Disrupter]] is a [[Victim-Victimizer]] software mind control archetype that is used to target spiritually developing people. This is one of the [[Controller Programs]] that is a sub program of the [[Victim-Victimizer]] software program and a collective [[Miasma|miasm]] that has accumulated over many generations. | |||
A person that is a dark portal for [[Imposter Spirit]]s or being controlled by external negative forces, is easily manipulated to bring energetic discord into a group, to derail projects and can be a [[Chaos-Disrupter]] archetype. The intention behind the [[Chaos-Disrupter]] is divide and conquer of the organization, group unity or destroying the energetic coherence in the environment. The [[Chaos-Disrupter]] profile is generally very egocentric to narcissistic behaviors, an emotional-psychic vampire and has little impulse control. | |||
