Alexander Griboyedov successfully noted that our grief is from the mind.
Great innovation happens when the mind dissolves into "stupidity." Crazy people create masterpieces in a creative passion. The best relationship happens when you give yourself over to your heart. Archimedes shouted "Eureka!" When he did something stupid
The head limits the possibilities of the senses.
How often have you failed to do something because you knew you couldn't do it, that it was bad, inappropriate, impossible, or something else? The frequent question of gestaltists, how do you stop yourself, is just the way to go. And How? After all, how many new ideas, works of art, opportunities, discoveries the world would acquire if we did not obey our mind.
There is a cure for the head and it is not analgin. The recipe is simple: trust the world and your instincts, “go crazy”.
Good fairy tale business! They have all the instructions for a great life. For example, some of the main characters in fairy tales have a trait that helps them survive in the most incredible situations. And in the final they get all the fabulous bonuses. Remember Ivanushka the Fool, Ivan Tsarevich, Emelya, Fox. In their actions there is always a certain naivety, foolishness, absurdity, even absurdity. It is she who will save them from death and give them gifts.
The modern world does not allow us to relax and trust him. The wardrobe of life is filled with shelves, on which plans and goals are arranged in alphabetical order. There is no room for revitalizing energy. Lost instinctive confidence in intuition. Her voice was drowned out by total control. All this makes our vitality look like a dry accounting report.
The ancestors knew how not to dry out, but to be filled with life. They knew how to replenish the reserves of the necessary energy. For example, they periodically got rid of an unnecessary head and trusted in their loins. Metaphorically, of course.
In the 20s of the last century, this idea was philosophized by the French when they created the secret community "Acephalus". They created a new god. Acephalus is a headless man who cut off his rational part and placed it in the genital area. So he had the ability to learn about the world through the center of instincts, which is in the groin area. In the tradition of those times, this way refers to life, was considered as the highest knowledge. The task of people was to remove the bright mind and turn to the opposite part of the individual.
The sacredness of the world cannot be comprehended by reason, but it can be comprehended by the shadow, twilight part of the human being. This was the view of French philosophers in the first half of the twentieth century. So, long before them, people in an archaic society believed.
At the dawn of time, the need arose for an archetype capable of breaking general laws and going against the usual norms and rules.
So the Trickster appeared - a third God, a third a beast and a third man. A violator of prohibitions, boundaries, a subverter of all taboos and laws, he goes beyond all the boundaries of the usual human life and brings life-giving chaos into it. The trickster is a jester, and laughter arose with him. Dodger and deceiver, he still manages to create cultural results.
Myths know different guises Trickster … He Crow, among the Indians of North America and Kutkh among the inhabitants of Chukotka, Coyote among the Southwest Indians, Loki - trickster of scadinavia, Monkey - trickster lives in mythology Of Africa … Each culture had its own Trickster.
Here is a story about how the Trickster appeared among one of the Indian tribes: The chief of the North American Indians, the Wajunkaga, was expelled from his own tribe for multiple quirks. The people could not survive the chaos created by the negligent leader. Rejected by his tribe, he was initiated into the Trickster. Vajunkaga had a ridiculous, naively childish attitude towards the world. Because of this, he always found himself in difficult and funny situations.
His body parts were not aligned with each other. The right and left hand of the leader, periodically arranged fights among themselves. And sometimes there were even worse stories of fights. One day Vajunkaga was eating some meat he found on the road. It turned out that these were his own internal organs.
Such absurdity and insanity are inherent in the behavior of a creature that can no longer be called a human. It combines the divine, animal and human features. Thus, the Trickster is a mediator between the other world and our world, he connects all possible opposites: right and left, his body and nature around. He did not stand out from her, like a figure from the background, and is not aware of his needs. Ambivalent, united from opposites, hermaphrodite, Androgenate - he mediates life and death.
Finally, Trickster, a creature that creates new opportunities. At first they look like recklessness. Only after some time is humanity able to appreciate the contribution of the madmen. It gradually fits into culture and society. History knows many examples of unrecognized geniuses, whose names began to ascend only after their death.
Trickster - the hero is an innovator. Only he is able to unite the world, shattered into small pieces, and make it whole again.
Today Trickster - a myth, an archetype, which is contained in fairy tales. He is an important part of the human being, usually asleep. To wake him up, you need to turn off your head and surrender to your instincts. To do this, it will be enough to write your own fairy tale.

Your Friend Is Trickster
He is a liar, deceiver, cheater, impudent and pervert. You can't rely on him. He's no use. He does not at all look like a knight, or a stone wall, or a breadwinner, or a defender. He doesn't even understand what responsibility, honesty and duty are.
