Encounters with the Cosmic Jesters
Being apart of many facebook groups surrounding psychedelics, I've gotten to know common themes that emerge during peoples experiences. DMT, being one of the most powerful visual psychedelics, often immerses people into a realm outside of our own reality.
Many people report encountering intelligent otherworldly beings often described as being, well, indescribable. Some people, however, describe what they believe to be encounters with extraterrestrials, Angel's, demons, gods and goddesses, as well as a slew of other "beings" including elves, insects, tricksters and so on.
One of the most common experiences is a feeling of familiarity with the beings they encounter. Unfortunately people often also experience great discomfort during some of their encounters and a sense of "I shouldn't be here" as opposed to belonging.
Whether these experiences are, as Carl Jung would suggest, archetypes of the collective unconscious, or true encounters with sentient beings outside of this realm of existence, is not what I came here to discuss. Instead, I am going to share my own encounters with the Jester "archetype" or "beings" over the course of the last couple of years.
