Jordan Peterson: The Hero's Journey in Carl Jung's Psychoanalysis

"The Cave you fear to enter holds the Treasure you seek" Joseph Campbell

"beware of the wisdom you did not earn"

So greatful I live in a time when I can hear/watch lectures of this caliber in bed!!! Love Jordan Peterson!!!!

this guy is incredible, he brings psychology to the mainstream, people who attack him on his critique of society are very afraid of his knowledge, the ruling class don't want to have people like this wandering around educating people

I absolutely love his body langauge

Intellect, charisma and the use of it for good causes. What a brilliant combination. Jordan Peterson is one of the most important speakers of our time.

You cant miss a fucking sentence this guy says. Each one is gold.

This guy is going to start a much needed inward reflection en masse, among people who these ideas wouldn't normally reach. I absolutely fucking love Jordan Peterson.

the low lighting and the white that shows from his shirt makes this almost like a piece of art.....great mind!

I've bounced back and forth in my opinion of Jordan Peterson. I think now I can settle on this idea. He is a hero of the modern intellectual. His power is in imparting an energy of intellectualism. He revives a part of my mind that makes reaching new levels of learning and understanding as no longer daunting but exciting. applause

Lemme just rearrange this dragon into sub dragons.

This is mighty content and that Caravaggio-like lighting is damn spot on

I was strolling on Weibo and watched a video that a so called feminist TV host argued with a writer. The woman was rude, stupid and kept cutting the words of the man. The man, instead, was calm, polite, logical and incredibly wise. I was immediately attracted by his philosophy. The man is Jordan Peterson. I have been suffering depression for years and his words awakened me!

"that which you fear and avoid, that is the gateway to what you need to know"

So again anyone who is interested in reading Jung start with Erich Neuman - The origins and history of consciousness

Dis guy is incredible.! hands down. Sometimes I don't agree with everything he said. But he's genius. How he constructs his ideas is brillant.

Jordan Peterson never disappoints. God damn what a genius.

I went thru a rough childhood and a a result, continued into a tough adulthood rife with emotional turmoil, self doubt and resentment, not to mention addiction. I woke up 2 years ago. I had a dream at the beginning of my transformation. In dream, there were 3 of me. One was impulsive and primal. One was more aware of itself and the world, the other was floating in a legs crossed position. I, at that time in my life, was accepting the old me was not the me I wanted to be anymore. Seemingly, my first way of accepting the transformation was to belittle the old me. I became so angry with how far it had brought me from where I wanted to be. Up until this dream, I hated my old self. Then something that I still know to be something inside me trying to help me learn, came about. In the dream, the levitating wise man me told my aware self, as it stood there angrily staring at my primal self in disgust. He said, "You two will have to come to terms with one another's existence and learn to coexist in harmony before the 3 of us can finally be one." It was super weird for me at first. I didn't understand it altogether but I know subconsciously, since then, I've not beat myself up so much and instead have started helping myself and looking out for myself. My life is changing so much for the better. I am very grateful. The talk about lucid dreaming really had me recalling that dream and I feel I can see how it really helped in some small or big way to shaping a better perspective on how I should feel about myself, after listening to this lecture.

J. Peterson dropping brilliance, spiced with his urgency to educate and push it through leaves me in awe. 10/10

The main reason that Jung split with Freud was due to the latters exclusive emphasis on sexuality. Namely, that all of man's psychological problems are a function of repressed sexuality. The libido of the offspring regresses back to the mother and father, giving rise to incest symbolism. His views were exclusively biological, and where he and Jung parted ways was in Freuds unwillingness to consider the spiritual significance of, for example, the phallus. Freud was too influenced by the spirit of the age, namely, atheism and its concomitant, rationalism, and materialism. Jung, on the other hand, held no prejudices, he believed in everything, as do l. Recalling a scene in Cronenberg's film chronicling the early years of Freud and Jung, A DANGEROUS METHOD. Where Freud attempts to impress on Jung the the importance of presenting psychoanalysis as an exclusively "RATIONAL SCIENCE " that no irrational elements can exist. But when is life exclusively RATIONAL? THEN Freud states, " gnomes in the garden, faeries in the well it just won't due, it just won't due. " But to the unprejudiced observer, if there are gnomes and faeries and all manner of fabulous (irrational creatures) ,l want to know about it. " HAVE A NICE DAY "
