The Fool Deep Dive with Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” –George Bernard Shaw The inner Fool is never far away from us. It is the archetype that precedes even the innocent. The Fool is the aspect of the inner child that knows how to play, to be sensual and in the body. It is at the root of our basic sense of Vitality and aliveness, which expresses itself as a primitive, childlike, spontaneous, playful creativity. The Fool is the beginning and the end of the journey. When the fool is active in our lives, we are motivated by curiosity and want to explore and experiment with life. It is a time when we have little or no interest in being responsible, at least not for others, for we want most of all to be free. This means free from duties, responsibilities, deadlines, even relationships that might demand things from us that are not fun, and from possessions. The contribution of the Fool to our lives is resilience, the capacity to get up and try again. There are five levels of the Creator: Shadow - Self- indulgence, sloth, gluttony, irresponsibility Call - Boredom, ennui, desire to have more enjoyment in life Spiral One - Life is a game to be played for the fun of it (Fool) Spiral Two - Cleverness used to trick others, to get out of trouble, to find ways around obstacles, to tell the truth without impunity (Trickster) Spiral Three - Life is experienced fully in the moment; life is celebrated for its own sake and lived in the moment, one day at a time (Wise Fool or Jester) Meditate on the funniest and most enjoyable moments in your life that's far. Think of one fun or funny moment after another. Imagine yourself telling humorous stories about these events. Continue at least until you find yourself laughing out loud.
