"The Cosmic Schmuck Principle holds that if you don’t wake up, once a month at least, and realize that you have been acting like a Cosmic Schmuck again then you will probably go on acting like a cosmic schmuck forever; but if you do, occasionally, recognize your Cosmic Schmuckiness, then you might begin to become a little less Schmucky than the general human average at this primitive stage of terrestrial evolution." - RAW fact

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.”

"Let the void calibrate you..."

"Don't rush to fill the silence. It's doing more for you than sound ever could. Let the void retune you."

The archetype of clowns and jesters has existed in many indigenous cultures and religions dating back for thousands of years, all the way to present day. I believe this is mankind's attempt to recreate or pay homage to the entities that we typically encounter while in shamanic trances with DMT.. trying our best to bring them back with us from their dimension, into ours. The DMT experience is also ancient and is typically very circus-like both visually and energetically, with clown and jester-like entities. Terrance McKenna said, "The archetype of DMT is the circus."

I believe this is why we've been so heavily programmed to fear them. From childhood we watch horror movie after horror movie about evil clowns.. then we grow up and decide to try DMT one day and suddenly find ourselves immersed in a hyperdimensional circus-world that we end up projecting our own subconscious fears onto. Most inevitably become terrified because of it's extreme unfamiliarity, and because the only frame of reference we have are the stupid movies and fear that's been programmed into our subconscious throughout our lives. Then of course once it's over, we swear to never return. Unfortunate, because we have nothing to fear there unless we're afraid. If you're afraid or insecure the tricksters will play on that as a way of exposing it and teaching you about yourself. I believe these entities possess beneficial knowledge for us and wisdom for those who are ready to receive it. When I'm there in the circus dimension I'm usually reminded not to take life too seriously. Because when it comes down to it, it's all just a game. 🎪🎈
