Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites.

First Jordan Peterson book completed.

I think it’s worth the time to read and listen as I did, even if you don’t understand everything (and I suspect that would be the case for a lot of ppl, including me). I’ll bet he could distill what he says into a shorter form. He repeats himself but I think even that can serve a useful purpose in terms of processing, understanding and remembering what he says. What he has essentially done is continue Jung’s work through the scriptures that started late in his life. Jordan Peterson has said he wants to work through the entire biblical corpus in his lifetime in this way. So, his work here is Jungian, where he lays the map of the soul with all the archetypes, the discussion of the Logos according to the Greek conception vs the Christian development in John 1, and the work of individuation which is a lifelong process of inner development and growth, over the biblical text and teaches it through that filter.
I believe Jordan Peterson is aiming more for atheists than your run of the mill Bible believing evangelical. In fact he doesn’t exactly disdain evangelicals but it’s clear that he wouldn’t chose to be one if he were to identify himself as Christian. He was asked what his goal was with this book and he said he wanted to demolish the atheistic argument once and for all which is a big goal.
I think he comes at a good time in societal history where the narrative of the Bible has been all but discarded and any talk of it in the public spectrum disregarded. If you’ve watched him speak he floats effortlessly from the complex and deep topic of the psyche to the story of Cain and Abel for example, or some other story. He’s a very unique influencer bc he finds comfort in the symbols, the morals, and the lens through which the biblical text perceives the world. He considers himself a _psychopomp_, like the cricket in the Pinocchio story (which is funny bc he sounds like him too). This is a person who leads others to explore the spiritual world and the realm beyond death. Maybe that’s a role every follower of Christ should take, at least that’s a thought that came to me.
Of course, one problem is that when you read his way of teaching the scripture and then watch or listen to your average pastor doing the same thing you may further dissatisfied with listening to your average pastor, especially one who is not well prepared, who speaks in cliché and generally runs through the text. His thinking is on a deeper level that opens your soul and I think that’s useful in any era.
This is the first book I’ve finished by him — I don’t plan to go back and get his other earlier material. He’s coming out with a book in the gospels, I may get that one. But honestly I wouldn’t follow my usual course of reading with Jordan Peterson as I have been following over the past few years (focusing entirely on him). One thing that is interesting is that people like Jung weren’t terribly appreciated in their own time. He was discredited in the field of psychotherapy in his own time because he was thought of more as a mystic than a legit scientist. Nietschze also wasn’t well known or respected during his own life. It was only posthumously that these now giants became widely studied. It seems that Jordan Peterson may be getting all his credit now. I wonder if he will be read later — time will tell.

We often think of saints as rare individuals whose gifts far exceed our own, and St. Francis is no exception. But for Fr. Richard Rohr, a prolific author and renowned speaker, the life and teachings of this beloved figure offer an authentic spirituality we can all embody.

Learning to let go.
Revisado: 10-03-24
I just started reading and listening to Richard Rohr. He stands out as a voice that encourages us to push forward into the Mystery with open hearts. This particular listen comes at a time when I feel strongly the necessity to let go. Thanks so much for this recording.

First time reading from Murray Stein
Revisado: 03-17-24
The performance made it easy to get distracted as I was trying to listen. I’ve listened to it twice and plan to do it again, especially the second part as he discusses The Gospel According to John. The theme of the Jungian approach in general is something I’m very interested in this year and I happened upon Stein in the process of gathering data surrounding the topic. I appreciate his writing and his story, which causes me to want to try this again for the third time.

Ever since “Limitless”…

Ever since “Limitless”…
Revisado: 08-10-23
Ever since “Limitless” where I saw Dr Peter Attia for the first time, I’ve been interested in following him. He has a sincere desire to help ppl have the intellectual tools necessary to make the most of the life they have, and maybe add some extra years.
This episode about Time and Productivity really spoke to me. I am always fidgety, I sit down and minutes later I’m up. Not only do I see this trait in myself, I also see it in my children. I look forward to processing what I’ve heard here and putting it to practice in my life.
I’ve also lived under the fallacy of legacy. I think it’s a generational thing. But, thinking through my mortality and what time I have, I agree that it’s not possible to stop the world when you die. It just goes on, the very next second. So, we have to get on living. The performance, productivity, do-it-fast trap has followed me my whole life and I’m 48 years old. This is an episode to listen to several times to let it sink in. Thanks so much for your dedication to helping lay ppl acquire longevity.
