thank you!
I have a question for you! Isnt terence’s ideas much more intellectually higher, than jordan petersons. I have seen you post peterson as well. But im not a fan of his. Because of his lack of ability to talk about science. Evolution/cosmos.
I was just curious as to what you think comparing both of their philosophies.
I discovered both Terence McKenna and Jordan Peterson around the same time and their lectures really helped me when I was at one of the lowest points in my life.
Funny enough, I found them both from the Joe Rogan podcast in 2017. Back then Jordan Peterson was a very different person. He wasn't that famous yet but had been publishing all his college lectures on TH-cam for years. I found them and was captivated by them.
His psychology courses Personality And It's Transformations and Maps of Meaning are really great. I still recommend people watch those if they want to get a better understanding of who Jordan really is.
He focused a lot of time in those courses lecturing on the same subjects as Terence.
He talked a lot about Carl Jung, shamanism and powerful impact of psychedelics in ways that I had only heard in lectures from Terence.
Jordan provided a lot of the new scientific research on psychedelics that wasn't available in Terence's time. He made them sound like a safe and powerful tool to transform yourself just like Terence always said.
This was the final push I needed to finally try them myself and they dramatically changed my life for the better. It expanded my creative abilities and helped me confront a lot of childhood trauma that I had been repressing.
Jordan Peterson went through a lot since 2017. He's gotten really famous and has sold a lot of books since then but he's also lost his job at his university over student protests and the Canadian government went after his license over things he said on Rogan's podcasts. But as far as I know there has never been a single complain from any of his actual students or clients.
He also got sick and nearly died but after a while he made a great physical recovery. I honestly feel like he's never been the same person since the illness. He's gotten a lot more obsessive about Christianity and the Bible but I don't fault him for that, especially after nearly dying. He still puts out some interesting interviews and lectures. He had a fantastic conversation with Terence's brother, Dennis McKenna, a few months ago about psychedelics.
@@EricYoungArt can you point to some of jordans good lectures?!
Also when you say they both have similar lectures, which area of subject are you talking about?!

Thank you, glad you like it!
I don't think I genuinely believe a damn thing Terence actually ever said, but by god can I listen to this man ramble on about stone ape theory and pschodelic bullshit all day.
Most of the people i tripped with were "egomaniacs" they were sociopaths who would steal from their grandmother. Shit i drove the fuckers 😂 so this egomaniacs cant trip makes no sense. And by his own definitions im sure i would be some egomaniac 😂 by my own definition at the very least, but that confession my own self centeredness did not come from some artificial spirituality. Artificial in this case meaning with outside assistance not purely man made. It came from the true source!
Yeah, I think the Ego is a harder thing to get rid of then Terence imagined.
The abuse of psychedelics by "rave" and "festival" culture has done more hard to their reputation then almost anything else.
Anyone who thinks they understand psychedelics because they took some at a party once or twice has not experienced their true potential. From my experience, anyone I've met who takes them casually might have a few positive experiences but once they have a "bad trip" or two they put them down forever.
I think is what Terence means when he said that "egomaniacs can't handle them and will eventually put them down."
For the person seeking transformation from these substances, the bad trips are usually the most informative about your situation. But this takes a lot of will power to ignore your Ego's panic and focus on the things your suppressing when your at the height of the experience. Setting your intention for change and taking them in a proper setting is essential for allowing them to work.
@@EricYoungArt I never had a bad trip. It's just smoke and mirrors. You can get a "spiritual" experience out of those too. There's nothing new about the mystics. Their always coming up with old ideas in new ways to sound intelligent and enlightened when all it is is self worship. All this showmanship to find "self love" and I'm the egomaniac 🤣
I'm sorry you didn't have an experience where you got to wrestle with that deep and mysterious part of yourself. They really helped me deal with repressed childhood trauma and greatly enhanced my creative imagination; so I really don't think they're just "smoke and mirrors." Not for everyone at least.
My experience proved to me that they do hold a mysterious power for transformation, but that doesn't make them a substitute for the benefits of religion. I'm sure you can find that similar thing in the prayers and rituals within the church but you can also find community and other things that psychedelics cannot offer you.
