The Cosmic Jester sees the Humor in everything. Even in your deepest pain & suffering, there is Humor at the cosmic scale. He sees it.

At a scale that goes beyond this life. In a world view, where free will of the soul reigns supreme. What is it that made your soul choose a life that contained the deepest suffering that you are presently experiencing? An odd question, isn’t it?

Why would you ever choose your own deepest suffering?

What if you did choose it? Isn’t it funny that you’d make a choice to suffer and then in the moment of suffering forget that you made that choice?

The Cosmic Jester shields you from fully feeling your Pain in those moments, diverting your attention to Humor like a parent would to a crying child. Rattle a toy so the child starts gargling with laughter again.

Laughter shakes the whole physical body. When faced with one’s deepest wounding, one panics into a freeze state. The Cosmic Jester comes through and shakes the entire body so that the freeze releases.

If you’ve seen the movie Joker, you would have noticed that the character often gets triggered into uncontrollable laughter. When the Cosmic Jester reigns supreme and your own Being has no control over his access to your physical body, you get characters like the Joker. The Joker is representative of the oddest of human behaviors that we see–there’s plenty of non-fictional examples of this archetype. True crime shows are obsessed with it. Murderers who laugh out loud when they kill. Rapists who smile eerily when they get convicted.

Society labels it evil, imprisons it and moves on. You can imprison the human but to the Cosmic Jester imprisoned inside the human, that’s freedom. Free uninterrupted access to the human being. Spirit beings love access to the physicality of the human body. When the human he inhabits is called “evil”, he whispers “see, they deserve it – they are all out to get you”, further ensnaring the human within his grasp.

The shadow side of the Cosmic Jester is the Sinister Torturer. The cool, calculated, unfeeling killer. “You deserve revenge”, he tells the Wound. “Go now, go and be safe inside your safe room and let me take care of this”. The human being, reduced to a weak wounded inner child, listens. The Sinister Torturer acts. From within the safe room, the wounded inner child sees the act and is aghast! It’s the same exact wound that the inner child carries (or even worse) meted out on another being. The inner child sees itself and relives its own misery.

How did I come to this place where I consciously chose to relive my own trauma?

Confusion reigns supreme.

The Cosmic Jester is the master of confusion and uninhibited chaos. As long as the Jester has free reign, humanity suffers.
