Campbell learned much from Jung, but held onto a strong cognitive dissonance. Facing and entering the shadow is utterly at odds with "follow your bliss".
Once only chairs, stools and occasionally benches could serve as ushers into the deepest truths. Now thanks to the incalculable sacrifices of generations of people brave enough to confront and overcome that which frightens them the most we are able to bring the bed into this family of liberation. Ironically those who taste the fruit of the gods need most of all the furniture of the gods. (Kidding, I agree with the op sentiment, but it's funny that it can be read as saying it's the availability of the bed that's significant :))
The low lighting and the white from his shirt is very similar to Rembrandt lighting. The type of lighting that he used in his own self portraits. If you ever get a chance, visit the Frick museum in New York City. You can see some of Rembrandt's paintings up close and personal. You'll see what I'm talking about.
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.
endmy suffering the adoption of responsibility and accepting the responsibility of your actions and developing your character so that you may be both a formidable foe to oppression and powerful leader in your community. On the micro level this improves communities. On the macro level this improves the world.
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.
that sounds intense. also had a revelation about my dad and other ancestors. had to fight a couple monsters in the underworld to finally be accepted into the 'hall of fame. first time in my life a really stressful dream turned into a loving warm one. do u have new insights regarding your dream?
He's a lecturer. He's made "this" speech a million times in class. The talk is a compilation of bits from several of his lectures and other talks he's done. He's not a magical being, he just has an incredible amount of practice.
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.
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
The woke mob tried to force him to use pronouns. Many of the agents of the establishment see free-thinking people as threat to established order. It's the nature of people to fear the unknown or the uncontrollable. If you question anything you are the enemy. This is the current world we live in now and it's up to everyone to stand up to the oppressive people that want to shove their worldview onto others. (woke mob is just the latest group of thought police right now) Don't forget the reason Jesus was killed by the Pharisees. They just can't handle truth. It's dangerous to the establishment so they demonise truth tellers and then if they can't turn the crowd on them they just kill them. If that fails they co-opt the speaker and create clones to steer people away from the speaker in hopes that they can compete against them and hijack control of the people from that speaker towards their own "brand" of it. It happens in entertainment industry: 1. popular music artist rejects offer from greedy publisher. (the content is anti-establishment) 2. publisher decides to make a copy-cat version of that artist. (compete with them to destroy them) 3. fans of the original artist turn to the alternative artist who is pretending to be anti-establishment but is pro-establishment (funded by rich people) 4. the alternative artist can now influence the public with his lyrics which are created by propagandists to steer the values of the youth towards their agenda. 5. original artist is murdered so he can't influence the youth in positive ways. No competition? No anti-establishment artists saying truthful things to the fans. Mission accomplished. 6. youths grieve over their fave artist being killed by the illuminati and it becomes a conspiracy theory that he was murdered by the establishment because the artists was turning people against the elites and to think out of the box. (the elites want control over kid's minds to shape the future. They want conformity, not free-thinkers.)
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*
@@prophetsnake always said by those who would seek to elevate themselves above everyone else with no achievements of their own. As Jordan would say, "how's that working out for you, bucko?" He's a full professor who has taught at two of the world's top universities and is one of the most cited in his profession. Tell me, what are your accomplishments or qualifications that you can stand there and say the he's "pretending to be an intellectual?" People like you are nothing more than a peanut gallery, jealous of other people's achievements or insight because you possess none of your own. Do us all a favour - crawl back under your little rock and actually do something for society before you come out again.
@@peterross5410 Yeh, nice stab in the dark, ninny. Peterson's only achievement is getting a large crowd of racist virgins to follow him. Yours is not being able to get laid.
@@prophetsnake your comment just sums this all up nicely. Someone of your level of intellect who cannot grasp the concepts he talks about would resort to childish insults and be stuck on the lower level of the Dunning Kruger effect showing typical signs of overconfidence in many areas of life which you truly know barely of. I wouldn't be surprised if you are a University student, a person who knows enough to get by in life, perhaps even academically smart, but lacking in wisdom, actual world and life experiences that someone who has been through enough would understand what he means on the struggle of life. Poor you.
Matt Dawson I have to listen to his lectures more then once just to understand on a superficial level. The density of information here is a maelstrom of ideas, so much so that it’s hard to not let your thoughts wander while listening.
I'd like to know what things you don't agree with. I seem to agree with him on a lot of things. And I connect with him almost all the time. And that scares me. I'd like to know what you disagree on with him.
Wolf Mindset i find people just say they dont agree with everything, *just say* but they are doing that out of pride. I think people should be more humble and listen more closely, flush out with more detail what it is you even believe. I dont think people who say like you do know what they believe.
I'd wholly agree with your statement, I see bits of thought that is still very cleverly crafted that is a very right wing kind of scary, but listening to Professor Peterson has awakened me to how much I hate liberalism and Marxism and the current far left culture. Agreeing with someone 100% of the time is a danger in of itself, and to me @sedative , that is for people who do not know what to believe.
I'm saying people who say they disagree with things (esp with Peterson), but don't know how to explain what they disagree with or how to defend their position, don't know what they believe. I've listened and read a lot of people try to "disagree" with Peterson and when asked to state an argument, they fumble around with vague blanket terms. Pride holds people back from truly listening to others, and themselves. This wolf mindset dude, (his name even sort of verifies what im saying) says: "Sometimes I don't agree with everything he said" This is too vague, what exactly did he not agree with and why? If i was to ask him that in person, he'd likely respond the same way everyone else I've heard say things like "I don't agree with everything", he'd fumble around and ultimately never narrow in on a real argument. *or* if they actually could identify a specific thing it'd be something like "i wouldn't be able to do those evil things" for example. Not saying that's what he disagrees with but it's often what i find people will mention when i ask them why they disagree with Peterson. The disagreement is due to inability to comprehend what Peterson is explaining and why he's saying it, cuz when asked "why do you think he's wrong? Why wouldn't you be able to do those evil things? i get answers like "It's too horrifying for me to even think about". That's just a savage failure to comprehend the concept of the shadow. If you disagree with what someone says, you had better know exactly what you disagree with, and why. otherwise you may just be lying to yourself, and *or* defending your ego. To say it another way, I think people say they don't agree %100 just for lip service, just to "not be that guy who just agrees with everything", to not come off as a sheep (wolf mindset), playing his persona, but without any real backing. If he has a legit disagreement, he can articulate and defend that'd be great, but i hardly ever see anyone do that. They just say for good measure, to affirm to themselves they're not a sheep. Agreeing %100 doesn't make you a sheep or anything of the sort, you can agree %100 and still question/criticize. But be honest with yourself, do you REALLY disagree? If so, about what, and why? Without the followup you're just doing it out of ego protection and validation.
I always find your comments on videos I watch by chance.. or is it by chance? 😂 I find Paula's too. I'm figuring out nothing is coincidence. Lol You made this comment a year ago, and I'm just now finding this video lol much love to you and yours as always! I agree this was a really great lecture.
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!
You'd be happy to find out that he also suffered from severe depression and probably still does, but it's at the best stage it's ever been recently for JP.
Carl Jung was well ahead of his time. I LOVE HIM and so admire anyone who followed him. What changes within changes what is around us, in my experience. I studied with a Shaman, Greywolf, and he took me places I can't explain, but it changed my life. Jung would have understood this.
I cannot recommend that. I find the Neumann book somewhat difficult. There are some great primers on Jung’s work; Frieda Fordham’s is a good one. I think Anthony Stevens may also have a good intro to Jung. As for Jung himself, a few places to start might be: Memories, Dreams, Reflections; Modern Man in Search of a Soul; and Man and His Symbols. In that order. If someone is ready for more after that, go for his Collected Works. Enjoy.
@@kyle_sibley I think it helps to have a basic understanding of Jungs theories. I had a very difficult time reading the book and decided I need to learn more first.
His breakdown of the Sleeping Beauty story is beyond amazing. It starts at 3:30 and ends at 5:46. If you only watch a small part of this video, make it that.
On New Age and "Follow Your Bliss." - it's important to note the Joseph Campbell, originator of that term, used it to mean doing the very difficult depth work (including shadow) to find your truest self. The misinterpretation of that idea is what Peterson is referring to here (I hope). Campbell, of course, is the leading writer on the Hero's Journey, although that is not referred to in this presentation. Campbell was also a translator of Jung (The Viking Portable Jung being the best example).
So fascinating. Love this guy. These ancient and archetypal stories and symbols that are the fabric of our conciousness pull us toward integration with that very conciousness....and least that's my take. "Keep your feet on the ground." Good advice.
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 "
They are two extremes. One a highly specific reductionist minimizing every human problem to a small part (sexuality) of man's psyche, and another a wide sweeping generalist and syncretist, who tried to believe absolutely everything even those ideas in logical conflict; maximizing every human mind to be literally capable of every archetype - disregarding in a sense individuality and personality, perhaps even biology and the _private_ subconscious rather than the collective. Also, against a previous era that placed reason over emotions, it's understandable that they wanted to blend those together. But the truth is that they were never in conflict but their roles are different; that is, they never belonged in a spectrum where they should fight or harmonize in the first place. They merely serve different roles: one to parse this reality, and the other to respond to it for the sake of self or society. To choose one over the other is insanity, but to suggest balance of them is to demonstrate a certain ignorance of their functions. In reality they are more like heart and brain; each doing their own job, not one that must be chosen against one another, lest you die. Not even a matter of balance or harmony; the nerves controlling heartbeat, while each pump simultaneously granting blood to the brain. Literal symbiosis forged amongst other numerous organs of equal importance yet different functions, all completing the person and his behavior. This juxtaposition of emotion and reason as something to antagonize or harmonize is an entirely Western concept. Similar to the Hero's Journey and its ambitious attempt to apply it to every story possible, yet in reality failing to do so. Free yourself of Jung, and ironically, you will be freed of the narrative that holds you down so much which bars you from truth and a clear vision so necessary to be an actual hero.
After 27 years of (internalized) abuse, i just stood up to my mum, after weird boundaries with every women, if only with my eyes. Thank you, the prophet of the west, broken and bruised against a chaotic fiery temptress. May we rise once more and rest finally, in the waves of life
Clever to have the willingness to unlearn & relearn. If complexes are learned, emotional behavior patterns, then to simplify is attention with feeling our wish fulfilled. Thanks for the message!
I’m glad to hear JP mention Camille Paglia - two great minds in academe who are antidotes to post modernism - She’s been quiet lately, I would love to hear from her on the state of the world in 2020!

My Psychology Lectures at College sure weren't like this. He is a brilliant thinker, it takes me hours sometimes and more than one viewing to understand what he is saying. I wonder how many other teachers of his calibre are hidden away in Colleges and Universities that we aren't hearing from.
Jordan's energy is enough to hook your attention with a streagh of a (particular Indonesian) God! He's so present when he's delivering speeches, like he's conjuring them in front of our eye. What a wonderful man, and how lucky we are to be alive right now!
CARL JUNG is why I love Jordan Peterson I thought that Jung was 100 years ahead of time but time is speeding up and Jordan Peterson has made Jung relevant today!
It is my humble opinion that Jung is more relevant in today's time and age than ever, only to add love to your comment. He is coming into our modern world for a reason. We as a civilization are ready (mostly) for information and insight on the profound intellectual/mystical level of Jung. He was sent by a higher group of beings. Only now will we start to recognize it.
The reason one why one has to stay on the ground, is that the knowledge one attains from the unconscious is so rich and vivid, that he needs time for it to dissipate to the stone of consciousness. It would be akin to having a blue heart that beats at the bottom of your feet. It would be rich and powerful, emanating with such knowledge that few would know about. However, the risk of a leisure, the risk of tripping over one of your veins, of breaking the link of your literal underground heart. You need the mundane, the staying on the ground, so that you may enable that process through which the blue heart that is found at your feet may instill itself as the red heart in your chest. That is way the mundane, is so important, because it is soft and caring. By the way, who would think there is only intensity. And is it not true that the full extent of intensity can truly be claimed and achieved if it permeates through a soothing?

There goes Dr. Peterson ( invaluable truth speaker, master of the masters ) again, telling my story to a heart rate increasing, sweat inducing, tear forming, type 1.5 diabetes causing, seemingly inescapable suicidal thought provoking, alcohol dreaming, maturity infantilizing, nihilistic leaning certainty. I love you Dr. Peterson. Thank you & God Bless You. 🙏
Nikki Peachy, of course there are different ways to interpret what they say but if one thinks the earth is flat while the other thinks the earth is spherical, I’m sure you agree that one of them is mistaken. This is objectivity, and may well apply to what they say about Jung.
tobo86. You cannot cheat life by reading the book then going back to bed. You have to make the journey. You have to face reality from the bottom up. You have to go beyond the safe boundaries of Academia, the state, the family. Words are not experience.
Nikki Peachy. To me its like the difference between a Virgin bragging about his ‘conquests’ and two lovers who can exchange a world of words with just a look.
Beeblebrox One yeah for sure but (for me) it was unconvincing because he saved his father from "the belly of the beast" killing many innocent people and jedi and redeemed the 2nd most evil man at the time. For someone who's done that and to kill Kylo on "instinct" wasn't right to me.
I think as a culture, right now, there are certain people who take a perverse glee in killing the Hero. That’s why Han Solo and Luke are dead. You see this in a lot of nerd culture lately- this idea that no one is special/can become special and that heroic stories are trite bullshit. But like Peterson says, they are the most human stories. If we lose them, we lose our humanity. I think this phase will pass.
Thank you so much Dr peterson you've help me get through a very dark time in my life. I've really been trying to have personal responsibility. I'm far from a perfect person but now I'm even farther from being in hell and I'm moving away from hell more everyday. Thanks again. You've been my cornerstone
I love how enthusiastic this mans is about his work... He's so passionate about what he's speaking about, his breathing like he's running a marathon. Fucking brilliant 🤓👍 love this guy ❤️❤️❤️
Here is an example of a hero (hero's journey) when he decide to take his message and knowledge to the world and face all the challenges but also exploring his full potential.
people should read the manga Berserk, Jung and Nietzsche were great influences to the author and artist Kentaro Miura. the protagonist in berserk whos name is guts has a profound heros journey. guts picks up the heaviest thing he can find and carries it, which is symbolized by the sword he carries. such a dark and tragic tale, yet filled with so much hope.
Jung spoke about his influence and he said he had built his theory before he found niesztche. I'm sure there was a little influence after but he wasn't a staple of his ideas
Jordan Peterson has provided us uneducated Joe Six Packs with a voice for ideas and thoughts we kind of knew but could not articulate and/or defend in intelligent conversations. Now we have a "College Professor and Clinical Psychologist" to put some of our ideas and thoughts into words backed by intelligence, education, knowledge and authority. An EXPERT to our aid and defense ! Finally ! Thank you, Mr. Jordan B. Peterson. Thank you VERY MUCH !
7:00 I believe both great philosophers and psychoanalysis are correct on the story. It seems to be both a hero and failed hero story dependant on the decisions made by the potential hero.
When he got to the part about; "when you dispense with the dragon you gain the power of the dragon." All I could think about was, well, yeah I bet that is one of the main reasons Skyrim is as big as it is, still to this day. Really hits a fundamental cord by the sound of it. I wonder if that idea will carry into the next Skyrim?
Great shout out to jaak panksepp at 14:07, who is way underrated. He figured out via 30 years of neuroscientific research that the mammalian brain’s basic ingredients behind our emotions are separation distress, fear, rage, care, play, seeking, lust. For me, that was a mind-blowing revelation
On followers: As listener, I enjoy Jordan's carnival of ideas. Personal note: Careful, Jordan. It's Jung himself who warned that inflation isn't noticed til you fall. Perhaps as a student of Jung you could catch it before a crash, though you mention fear of one. Good luck, all the best. People who are balanced in their minds have no following, because balance causes no mental contagion. C. G. Jung, Zarathustra Seminars
2:45 oohhh man... I have recently separated myself from my family (about a year and a half) after a long get out of jail free period. It is so obvious now, at 51, that I would NEVER have been able to get past it if I had not moved away at 24, and eventually cut ties. Turns out, I now have the get out of jail free card. Thanks J.P.!
Genuine and brilliant Jung had enormous amounts of research material stolen from him by ''colleagues''. My point being Jung could have unraveled and extrapolated his ideals further more. His ''colleagues'' wanted to cash in more than truly comprehend his work.
The domination of Freud and psychoanalysis historically explains why so many people are fixated on psychopathology. I often disagree with JP's terms, though. 'Life is a problem' is a frame that might not serve you well. I'd go with 'Life is a challenge', but it may be a semantic issue. Also, I hear him say 'Life is suffering' which I also disagree with. Suffering is an inherent part of life, and you're going to experience it, and deal with it, but as a formulation, it's a bit too grim. Life is many things. Suffering is only one.
Nah. Fully embracing and understanding won't change anything for me. Suffering is part of life; life isn't suffering. Suffering is an inherent part of life, but is just one of its experiences. Life is life; suffering is suffering. But looking at your definition might be helpful. Are pain and suffering equivalent? Not necessarily. Some suffering is physical; some is mental/emotional. Some is self-inflicted, some is inflicted by others. Knowledge isn't power either. And power itself doesn't actually corrupt. The seeds of corruption are waiting for power, like plant seeds are waiting for rain.
Christopher Prim When he says “life is suffering” I think he mean not to say suffering isn’t a part of life, but that is it an inherent part. You are born crying and in pain into his explanation of chaos(the unknown world) and from there everyday is a struggle to understand and make order of what is around you. You can have happy moments, but the search for happiness is filled with suffering, but in comparison the search for suffering is in itself again a struggle because you the act of searching in itself is again a struggle, so suffering is inevitable, everyone experiences it, and not everyone experiences happiness.
Christopher Prim hold on, not serve you good why? Because you cant fix problems and feel more justified to call it a challange because you can fail it and still feel good about challanging yourself maybe. Well eighter case bottom line is every problem has a solution. If you dont try to solve your problems or change the way you perceive them you are that useless son of a bitch.
"The Cave you fear to enter holds the Treasure you seek" Joseph Campbell
What would the good doctor think about social media? Would he think it is the outer realisation of the collective unconsious?
smroog wow-- deep
Campbell is a Jungian.
all have a shadow, all have a dream.
Campbell learned much from Jung, but held onto a strong cognitive dissonance. Facing and entering the shadow is utterly at odds with "follow your bliss".
So greatful I live in a time when I can hear/watch lectures of this caliber in bed!!! Love Jordan Peterson!!!!
😀
Damn right
Once only chairs, stools and occasionally benches could serve as ushers into the deepest truths. Now thanks to the incalculable sacrifices of generations of people brave enough to confront and overcome that which frightens them the most we are able to bring the bed into this family of liberation. Ironically those who taste the fruit of the gods need most of all the furniture of the gods. (Kidding, I agree with the op sentiment, but it's funny that it can be read as saying it's the availability of the bed that's significant :))
Same!
yeah bro its our time to understand ourselves
the low lighting and the white that shows from his shirt makes this almost like a piece of art.....great mind!
It compliments his brilliant mind sublimely 👌🏽
And a litle oniric
The low lighting and the white from his shirt is very similar to Rembrandt lighting. The type of lighting that he used in his own self portraits. If you ever get a chance, visit the Frick museum in New York City. You can see some of Rembrandt's paintings up close and personal. You'll see what I'm talking about.
@@cynthiahamil9801 Carravagio would be of interest as well; he inspired Rembrandt and many others who painted in the style known as Baroque.
Very effective chiaroscuros, great contrast between light and shadows. Also interesting the movements of his hands to emphasize spoken ideas.
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.
endmy suffering the adoption of responsibility and accepting the responsibility of your actions and developing your character so that you may be both a formidable foe to oppression and powerful leader in your community.

Lol
Nicholas Vogel My Responsibility is to respond to comments on TH-cam
@endmy suffering Improving oneself? watch the video
Your comment is an accurate characterization of Dr. Peterson. Thankfully he's doing better and engaging with the public more.
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.
that sounds intense. also had a revelation about my dad and other ancestors. had to fight a couple monsters in the underworld to finally be accepted into the 'hall of fame. first time in my life a really stressful dream turned into a loving warm one.
do u have new insights regarding your dream?
@von_freiesleben64 Only that I need to remember that dream whenever I sense that I'm losing myself in life
I absolutely love his body langauge
jason fontaine me too it’s nice and precise
He's a lecturer. He's made "this" speech a million times in class. The talk is a compilation of bits from several of his lectures and other talks he's done. He's not a magical being, he just has an incredible amount of practice.
Gayyyyyyee
i think it is inauthentic
I know what you mean....and believe me....he's aware of it too!
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.
You called it
This is mighty content and that Caravaggio-like lighting is damn spot on
Mathieu Brelière totally. Since he loves to talk about the incorporation of the shadow self, a little chiaroscuro is the perfect lighting for him.
I love that you equated it to that particular artist. Well played! And the above response is also spot on. Faith in humanity restored!
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
The woke mob tried to force him to use pronouns. Many of the agents of the establishment see free-thinking people as threat to established order. It's the nature of people to fear the unknown or the uncontrollable. If you question anything you are the enemy. This is the current world we live in now and it's up to everyone to stand up to the oppressive people that want to shove their worldview onto others. (woke mob is just the latest group of thought police right now) Don't forget the reason Jesus was killed by the Pharisees. They just can't handle truth. It's dangerous to the establishment so they demonise truth tellers and then if they can't turn the crowd on them they just kill them. If that fails they co-opt the speaker and create clones to steer people away from the speaker in hopes that they can compete against them and hijack control of the people from that speaker towards their own "brand" of it.
It happens in entertainment industry:
1. popular music artist rejects offer from greedy publisher. (the content is anti-establishment)
2. publisher decides to make a copy-cat version of that artist. (compete with them to destroy them)
3. fans of the original artist turn to the alternative artist who is pretending to be anti-establishment but is pro-establishment (funded by rich people)
4. the alternative artist can now influence the public with his lyrics which are created by propagandists to steer the values of the youth towards their agenda.
5. original artist is murdered so he can't influence the youth in positive ways. No competition? No anti-establishment artists saying truthful things to the fans. Mission accomplished.
6. youths grieve over their fave artist being killed by the illuminati and it becomes a conspiracy theory that he was murdered by the establishment because the artists was turning people against the elites and to think out of the box. (the elites want control over kid's minds to shape the future. They want conformity, not free-thinkers.)
May be you are afraid to see the reality!
I got em all on their toes
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*
No, he is a hero of the ignorant by pretending to be an intellectual.
@@prophetsnake did you not hear a word of this video?
@@prophetsnake always said by those who would seek to elevate themselves above everyone else with no achievements of their own. As Jordan would say, "how's that working out for you, bucko?"
He's a full professor who has taught at two of the world's top universities and is one of the most cited in his profession. Tell me, what are your accomplishments or qualifications that you can stand there and say the he's "pretending to be an intellectual?"
People like you are nothing more than a peanut gallery, jealous of other people's achievements or insight because you possess none of your own. Do us all a favour - crawl back under your little rock and actually do something for society before you come out again.
@@peterross5410 Yeh, nice stab in the dark, ninny. Peterson's only achievement is getting a large crowd of racist virgins to follow him.
Yours is not being able to get laid.
@@prophetsnake your comment just sums this all up nicely. Someone of your level of intellect who cannot grasp the concepts he talks about would resort to childish insults and be stuck on the lower level of the Dunning Kruger effect showing typical signs of overconfidence in many areas of life which you truly know barely of. I wouldn't be surprised if you are a University student, a person who knows enough to get by in life, perhaps even academically smart, but lacking in wisdom, actual world and life experiences that someone who has been through enough would understand what he means on the struggle of life. Poor you.
You cant miss a fucking sentence this guy says. Each one is gold.
Matt Dawson I have to listen to his lectures more then once just to understand on a superficial level. The density of information here is a maelstrom of ideas, so much so that it’s hard to not let your thoughts wander while listening.
Anthony that's exactly me
Matt Dawson "Uhm." :))))
Good! Also try Krisnamurti The Awakening of Intelligence. Great great read.
J. Peterson dropping brilliance, spiced with his urgency to educate and push it through leaves me in awe.
10/10
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.
Wolf Mindset Highly recommend Reading the book "Iron John" by Robert Bly.
I'd like to know what things you don't agree with. I seem to agree with him on a lot of things. And I connect with him almost all the time. And that scares me. I'd like to know what you disagree on with him.
Wolf Mindset i find people just say they dont agree with everything, *just say* but they are doing that out of pride. I think people should be more humble and listen more closely, flush out with more detail what it is you even believe. I dont think people who say like you do know what they believe.
I'd wholly agree with your statement, I see bits of thought that is still very cleverly crafted that is a very right wing kind of scary, but listening to Professor Peterson has awakened me to how much I hate liberalism and Marxism and the current far left culture. Agreeing with someone 100% of the time is a danger in of itself, and to me @sedative , that is for people who do not know what to believe.
I'm saying people who say they disagree with things (esp with Peterson), but don't know how to explain what they disagree with or how to defend their position, don't know what they believe.
I've listened and read a lot of people try to "disagree" with Peterson and when asked to state an argument, they fumble around with vague blanket terms. Pride holds people back from truly listening to others, and themselves. This wolf mindset dude, (his name even sort of verifies what im saying) says: "Sometimes I don't agree with everything he said" This is too vague, what exactly did he not agree with and why? If i was to ask him that in person, he'd likely respond the same way everyone else I've heard say things like "I don't agree with everything", he'd fumble around and ultimately never narrow in on a real argument. *or* if they actually could identify a specific thing it'd be something like "i wouldn't be able to do those evil things" for example. Not saying that's what he disagrees with but it's often what i find people will mention when i ask them why they disagree with Peterson.
The disagreement is due to inability to comprehend what Peterson is explaining and why he's saying it, cuz when asked "why do you think he's wrong? Why wouldn't you be able to do those evil things? i get answers like "It's too horrifying for me to even think about". That's just a savage failure to comprehend the concept of the shadow. If you disagree with what someone says, you had better know exactly what you disagree with, and why. otherwise you may just be lying to yourself, and *or* defending your ego.
To say it another way, I think people say they don't agree %100 just for lip service, just to "not be that guy who just agrees with everything", to not come off as a sheep (wolf mindset), playing his persona, but without any real backing. If he has a legit disagreement, he can articulate and defend that'd be great, but i hardly ever see anyone do that. They just say for good measure, to affirm to themselves they're not a sheep.
Agreeing %100 doesn't make you a sheep or anything of the sort, you can agree %100 and still question/criticize. But be honest with yourself, do you REALLY disagree? If so, about what, and why? Without the followup you're just doing it out of ego protection and validation.
Every movie that grabs you, holds your attention is a version of the heroes journey. The troubled becomes empowered, then overcomes.
Awesome talk
I always find your comments on videos I watch by chance.. or is it by chance? 😂 I find Paula's too. I'm figuring out nothing is coincidence. Lol You made this comment a year ago, and I'm just now finding this video lol much love to you and yours as always! I agree this was a really great lecture.
🙏
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!
You'd be happy to find out that he also suffered from severe depression and probably still does, but it's at the best stage it's ever been recently for JP.
So what you’re saying is you fancy yourself with large red claws?
I am here because my therapist told me to take a heros journey. Hope to see you on the other side Dr. Pedersen.
Carl Jung was well ahead of his time. I LOVE HIM and so admire anyone who followed him. What changes within changes what is around us, in my experience. I studied with a Shaman, Greywolf, and he took me places I can't explain, but it changed my life. Jung would have understood this.
So again anyone who is interested in reading Jung start with Erich Neuman - The origins and history of consciousness
Anyone else having a hard time understanding it?
If you want to read Jung just start with Jung
I cannot recommend that. I find the Neumann book somewhat difficult. There are some great primers on Jung’s work; Frieda Fordham’s is a good one. I think Anthony Stevens may also have a good intro to Jung. As for Jung himself, a few places to start might be: Memories, Dreams, Reflections; Modern Man in Search of a Soul; and Man and His Symbols. In that order. If someone is ready for more after that, go for his Collected Works. Enjoy.
I tried but I must not be smart enough bc it takes like 15mn per page to understand.
@@kyle_sibley I think it helps to have a basic understanding of Jungs theories. I had a very difficult time reading the book and decided I need to learn more first.

I am listening to him so that i can sleep but his words r making me focus on him more and now im in mania mode
Get well soon Professor Peterson. You’ve got students all around the world waiting for your next lessons.
On New Age and "Follow Your Bliss." - it's important to note the Joseph Campbell, originator of that term, used it to mean doing the very difficult depth work (including shadow) to find your truest self. The misinterpretation of that idea is what Peterson is referring to here (I hope). Campbell, of course, is the leading writer on the Hero's Journey, although that is not referred to in this presentation. Campbell was also a translator of Jung (The Viking Portable Jung being the best example).
I agree. You can only find your bliss once you've gone through hell. Some people want to skip right to the bliss.
I'm very grateful for having access to this.
“Stuck in your family drama… stuck in the past” I’m telling this to myself. Go on good man. You have much to offer to others, yourself and nature
It's incredible how much I love to learn after listening to Jordan.
So fascinating. Love this guy. These ancient and archetypal stories and symbols that are the fabric of our conciousness pull us toward integration with that very conciousness....and least that's my take. "Keep your feet on the ground." Good advice.
Alison Sanderson nice word salad
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 "
They are two extremes. One a highly specific reductionist minimizing every human problem to a small part (sexuality) of man's psyche, and another a wide sweeping generalist and syncretist, who tried to believe absolutely everything even those ideas in logical conflict; maximizing every human mind to be literally capable of every archetype - disregarding in a sense individuality and personality, perhaps even biology and the _private_ subconscious rather than the collective.
Also, against a previous era that placed reason over emotions, it's understandable that they wanted to blend those together. But the truth is that they were never in conflict but their roles are different; that is, they never belonged in a spectrum where they should fight or harmonize in the first place. They merely serve different roles: one to parse this reality, and the other to respond to it for the sake of self or society. To choose one over the other is insanity, but to suggest balance of them is to demonstrate a certain ignorance of their functions. In reality they are more like heart and brain; each doing their own job, not one that must be chosen against one another, lest you die. Not even a matter of balance or harmony; the nerves controlling heartbeat, while each pump simultaneously granting blood to the brain. Literal symbiosis forged amongst other numerous organs of equal importance yet different functions, all completing the person and his behavior.
This juxtaposition of emotion and reason as something to antagonize or harmonize is an entirely Western concept. Similar to the Hero's Journey and its ambitious attempt to apply it to every story possible, yet in reality failing to do so.
Free yourself of Jung, and ironically, you will be freed of the narrative that holds you down so much which bars you from truth and a clear vision so necessary to be an actual hero.
Idk how often people think about this but productive comments like those found under this video are refreshing to read.

Our age needs this kind of man
My Psychology Lectures at College sure weren't like this. He is a brilliant thinker, it takes me hours sometimes and more than one viewing to understand what he is saying. I wonder how many other teachers of his calibre are hidden away in Colleges and Universities that we aren't hearing from.

He's so present when he's delivering speeches, like he's conjuring them in front of our eye. What a wonderful man, and how lucky we are to be alive right now!
CARL JUNG is why I love Jordan Peterson I thought that Jung was 100 years ahead of time but time is speeding up and Jordan Peterson has made Jung relevant today!
It is my humble opinion that Jung is more relevant in today's time and age than ever, only to add love to your comment. He is coming into our modern world for a reason. We as a civilization are ready (mostly) for information and insight on the profound intellectual/mystical level of Jung. He was sent by a higher group of beings. Only now will we start to recognize it.
The reason one why one has to stay on the ground, is that the knowledge one attains from the unconscious is so rich and vivid, that he needs time for it to dissipate to the stone of consciousness. It would be akin to having a blue heart that beats at the bottom of your feet. It would be rich and powerful, emanating with such knowledge that few would know about. However, the risk of a leisure, the risk of tripping over one of your veins, of breaking the link of your literal underground heart. You need the mundane, the staying on the ground, so that you may enable that process through which the blue heart that is found at your feet may instill itself as the red heart in your chest. That is way the mundane, is so important, because it is soft and caring. By the way, who would think there is only intensity. And is it not true that the full extent of intensity can truly be claimed and achieved if it permeates through a soothing?
Jordan Peterson is a blessing to the world.
He says most things I'm thinking in a way I could never ever do. If only I was 1% as articulate as this dude.

23:47 🎭 *The interplay between conscious and unconscious minds is crucial, creating a developmental dialogue essential for a fulfilling life.*
26:08 📚 *Jung's "Black Books" document his experiments with imagination, a childlike daydreaming faculty, providing insights into archetypal structures and the distillation of collective behavior patterns.*
28:47 🌌 *Jung's exploration in the "Red Book" led to a reconciliation of intellect and religious archetypes, challenging the notion that religious structures are pathological, deceitful, or protective delusions.*

He says he was quite ill as a graduate student and that he used to go out three nights a week and "party" and that must've had something to do with it… He seems obsessive compulsive about things whether it's drinking or intellectual pursuits… But I love watching him nonetheless!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:31 🧠 *Freud's profound insights into the unconscious were absorbed into culture, leaving only his errors. Jung, influenced by Freud, explored subpersonalities and the autonomy within individuals.*

There goes Dr. Peterson ( invaluable truth speaker, master of the masters ) again, telling my story to a heart rate increasing, sweat inducing, tear forming, type 1.5 diabetes causing, seemingly inescapable suicidal thought provoking, alcohol dreaming, maturity infantilizing, nihilistic leaning certainty. I love you Dr. Peterson. Thank you & God Bless You. 🙏
Has anyone listened to ‘Alan Watts on Jung’? Anyone see any discrepancies between that and JP’s observations on Jung?
Nikki Peachy, of course there are different ways to interpret what they say but if one thinks the earth is flat while the other thinks the earth is spherical, I’m sure you agree that one of them is mistaken. This is objectivity, and may well apply to what they say about Jung.
tobo86. You cannot cheat life by reading the book then going back to bed. You have to make the journey. You have to face reality from the bottom up. You have to go beyond the safe boundaries of Academia, the state, the family. Words are not experience.
Nikki Peachy. No I have not. I Read Jupiters Travels, then memories dreams and reflections and hit the road. For four years.
Nikki Peachy. To me its like the difference between a Virgin bragging about his ‘conquests’ and two lovers who can exchange a world of words with just a look.
Watching this makes me sad of what they have done to Luke's character in Star Wars his Hero's Journey was completely destroyed
Beeblebrox One yeah for sure but (for me) it was unconvincing because he saved his father from "the belly of the beast" killing many innocent people and jedi and redeemed the 2nd most evil man at the time. For someone who's done that and to kill Kylo on "instinct" wasn't right to me.
SwimmingInSauce he lived long enough to see himself become the villain.
I think as a culture, right now, there are certain people who take a perverse glee in killing the Hero. That’s why Han Solo and Luke are dead. You see this in a lot of nerd culture lately- this idea that no one is special/can become special and that heroic stories are trite bullshit. But like Peterson says, they are the most human stories. If we lose them, we lose our humanity. I think this phase will pass.
@@197XSK spot on, mate! It will fade cuz they (nerds) will fade and real men return.
The corporation (empire) won
Thank you so much Dr peterson you've help me get through a very dark time in my life. I've really been trying to have personal responsibility. I'm far from a perfect person but now I'm even farther from being in hell and I'm moving away from hell more everyday. Thanks again. You've been my cornerstone
Same there, I wouldn’t know how to navigate dark times without him
Have anyone here heard Mr. Peterson talk about Terence McKenna? Would be interesting to hear.
Terence's faults were overgrown complexes
@@elpablo3728 like what?
Really good thank you. Learned something today
I love how enthusiastic this mans is about his work... He's so passionate about what he's speaking about, his breathing like he's running a marathon. Fucking brilliant 🤓👍 love this guy ❤️❤️❤️
If you like this, you should check out some of the works of Joseph Campbell.
The Hero with a Thousand Faces is brilliant!
I love "The Power of Myth".
The knowledge he drops leaves craters in your soul....
Here is an example of a hero (hero's journey) when he decide to take his message and knowledge to the world and face all the challenges but also exploring his full potential.
people should read the manga Berserk, Jung and Nietzsche were great influences to the author and artist Kentaro Miura. the protagonist in berserk whos name is guts has a profound heros journey. guts picks up the heaviest thing he can find and carries it, which is symbolized by the sword he carries. such a dark and tragic tale, yet filled with so much hope.
Jung spoke about his influence and he said he had built his theory before he found niesztche. I'm sure there was a little influence after but he wasn't a staple of his ideas
Does anyone know the name of the essay Camille Paglia wrote on Neumann’s work?
who needs Netflix when you can watch J.B.P free here on youtube!
What is 'eda pole myth'? 2:10
Can someone tell me how to spell it?

I love you Jordan. Thank you for everything.
Jordan Peterson has provided us uneducated Joe Six Packs with a voice for ideas and thoughts we kind of knew but could not articulate and/or defend in intelligent conversations. Now we have a "College Professor and Clinical Psychologist" to put some of our ideas and thoughts into words backed by intelligence, education, knowledge and authority. An EXPERT to our aid and defense ! Finally ! Thank you, Mr. Jordan B. Peterson. Thank you VERY MUCH !
7:00 I believe both great philosophers and psychoanalysis are correct on the story. It seems to be both a hero and failed hero story dependant on the decisions made by the potential hero.
Good point.
When he got to the part about; "when you dispense with the dragon you gain the power of the dragon."
All I could think about was, well, yeah I bet that is one of the main reasons Skyrim is as big as it is, still to this day. Really hits a fundamental cord by the sound of it.
I wonder if that idea will carry into the next Skyrim?
The Cave you fear to enter holds the treasure that you seek - Joseph Campbell
Dr Peterson is a brilliant genius
Great shout out to jaak panksepp at 14:07, who is way underrated. He figured out via 30 years of neuroscientific research that the mammalian brain’s basic ingredients behind our emotions are separation distress, fear, rage, care, play, seeking, lust. For me, that was a mind-blowing revelation
One of the best synthesis I've ever heard of Jung psycology.
Chapeu
the best synthesis ive ever heard is omnisphere 2
On followers:
As listener, I enjoy Jordan's carnival of ideas.
Personal note: Careful, Jordan. It's Jung himself who warned that inflation isn't noticed til you fall. Perhaps as a student of Jung you could catch it before a crash, though you mention fear of one. Good luck, all the best.
People who are balanced in their minds have no following, because balance causes no mental contagion.

2:45 oohhh man... I have recently separated myself from my family (about a year and a half) after a long get out of jail free period. It is so obvious now, at 51, that I would NEVER have been able to get past it if I had not moved away at 24, and eventually cut ties. Turns out, I now have the get out of jail free card. Thanks J.P.!
Jordan Peterson is a liberator. Erudite and generous, i am grateful indeed.
23:00 *Talking on Flow State*
Thank you so much for posting this
Does anyone know the context of this clip? What was the occasion and the audience etc?
Artem A The clip is from his Biblical Series Part VIII
Most important part of the biblical lectures, in my opinion.
Incredible, all of this; hypnotic indeed
whats a movie he talks about 9:18 ? i cant find it
"Crumb" -- (not sure of spelling) -- it's about the 60's underground comic artist R. Crumb. Not for the faint of heart but well worth watching.
29:33 Love this part, regarding new age thinking!
The notion that we have subpersonalities was already understood by Heraclitus. He said something in likes of:"Everything is full of daimons."
Genuine and brilliant Jung had enormous amounts of research material stolen from him by ''colleagues''. My point being Jung could have unraveled and extrapolated his ideals further more. His ''colleagues'' wanted to cash in more than truly comprehend his work.
Thank you for your great work !!😊
"Jung believed that we were dreaming all the time" I knew I wasn't the only who thought like this!!
Thank you so much for uploading this!! I do audio production and I'm hearing a lot of Ss. I can fix that for you if you send me the audio file!
More on Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and the origins of the hero's journey - th-cam.com/video/JqFkS2qYPNE/w-d-xo.html
The domination of Freud and psychoanalysis historically explains why so many people are fixated on psychopathology. I often disagree with JP's terms, though. 'Life is a problem' is a frame that might not serve you well. I'd go with 'Life is a challenge', but it may be a semantic issue. Also, I hear him say 'Life is suffering' which I also disagree with. Suffering is an inherent part of life, and you're going to experience it, and deal with it, but as a formulation, it's a bit too grim. Life is many things. Suffering is only one.
I'll check him out if I find more time and energy somewhere.
When you fully understand and embrace suffering you'll see it differently.
Nah. Fully embracing and understanding won't change anything for me. Suffering is part of life; life isn't suffering. Suffering is an inherent part of life, but is just one of its experiences. Life is life; suffering is suffering. But looking at your definition might be helpful. Are pain and suffering equivalent? Not necessarily. Some suffering is physical; some is mental/emotional. Some is self-inflicted, some is inflicted by others. Knowledge isn't power either. And power itself doesn't actually corrupt. The seeds of corruption are waiting for power, like plant seeds are waiting for rain.
Christopher Prim When he says “life is suffering” I think he mean not to say suffering isn’t a part of life, but that is it an inherent part. You are born crying and in pain into his explanation of chaos(the unknown world) and from there everyday is a struggle to understand and make order of what is around you. You can have happy moments, but the search for happiness is filled with suffering, but in comparison the search for suffering is in itself again a struggle because you the act of searching in itself is again a struggle, so suffering is inevitable, everyone experiences it, and not everyone experiences happiness.
Christopher Prim hold on, not serve you good why? Because you cant fix problems and feel more justified to call it a challange because you can fail it and still feel good about challanging yourself maybe. Well eighter case bottom line is every problem has a solution. If you dont try to solve your problems or change the way you perceive them you are that useless son of a bitch.
5:30 Hollywood movies basically, the good adventure ones of course. It's cinema somehow educating the masses.
Thank you, awesome clip !
Crumb sounds like a very intense watch lol
I watched it and thought it was a bit boring - worthy of a rewatch lol
Thank you
Does anyone know where to find the doc about the Crumbs?
