The Dream Book of Self-Knowledge

Trickster

  • keeps a person in the world of antitheses, whether he is a mediator between consciousness and matter or God and nature.
  • does not rise from the ashes of the past as the mythical Phoenix*52 to a new life with a new consciousness, but rises to the same life and retains the same, unenlightened consciousness; therefore the trickster*70 is a caricature of the hero and does not lead to the person's transformation.
  • is able to turn good into evil and vice versa in the world of antitheses.
