The Meaning of "The Jester(s)", "Machine Elves", Etc.

I posted this originally in the various psychedelic reddits that are known for these experiences. However the Shamanistic tradition obviously has some connections with this because of both entheogenic use and then also practices that apart from mind altering compounds provide sometimes visions or trances that one experiences certain things (Spirit animals, so forth). So I thought I would open up the discussion here as well as I enjoy the sub and the interesting takes I see here on deep matters :)

When it comes to entities experienced on Psychedelics, Deep Meditational States, and other practices they can manifest and be experienced in so many ways. So this is just meant to reflect my experience.

The Jester or Jesters - They seem to be a representation of both not taking life to serious (Cosmic Joke, Divine Comedy) and also judgement for being so stupid (Ridicule).

Ex: Showing you not to take life so serious as all the categories, conventions, and other aspects we make into identity and our way of being is all based in fluff and potentially ultimately unreal in an absolute sense. That all that stuff is just utility in a relative sense and that relative is laughable in some senses.

Ex: When you ask dumb questions or try and stick to dumb understandings that you know are beneath your level of being. Or even when you don't know it's beneath your level of being but it is anyway in the deepest regions these entities can be a bit mean to make it known.

Machine Elves/Gear Worlds/Etc - They kind of amplify the interconnectedness of all reality. They indicate how everything is super connected in miniscule ways and also how actions or things happening effect everything. Sometimes you can see how a small thing will go through and impact so many things to the "end point".

What all entities or landscapes have you encountered and what have you taken from it in understandings?

Excited to hear the communities take.
