The Sacred Fool: Why Mistakes Are Spiritual
“The fool is the precursor to the savior.” – Carl Jung
What if the worst thing you did… was the beginning of your genius?
Jung described the Fool as a paradox — naive yet wise, chaotic yet essential. It is the archetype that doesn’t avoid risk — it dances with it.
Most people try to hide their failures. But in truth, **failure is spiritual data**.
The Power of the Fool
- The Fool doesn’t fear the unknown — it activates it
- The Fool invites transformation by embracing vulnerability
- Innovation is born from experiments, not perfection
Why Mistakes Are Initiations
