2015 Personality Lecture 03: Historical Perspectives - Heroic & Shamanic Initiations I Mircea Eliade
Psychological transformation follows a distinct pattern: order, disruption, descent into chaos, restructured order. That's Paradise Lost and Regained. That's the shamanic voyage. It's one of the oldest experiences of mankind.

So far I’m captivated by this information but I’m having a hard time focusing, particularly on this lecture. Every point he makes sends me into deep thought then I have to go back ten minutes because I was too busy going off on tangents in my head about the things said here. Truly thought provoking and profound.
Second prof. Peterson binge night. Attention starting to fail. You really know how to keep it alive, though, professor.

Jordan you are a genius. Thank you for this vast information of knowledge. Can already sense my perception of my self and others is expanding thanks to you.
I grew up without my dad being around, although I was fortunate enough to have strong male role models in my uncles and my grandfather. Now in my 40s, I have to say that JBP is the mentor I've been searching for my whole life. It's taken me a while to to fully trust him and get past the alt-right stigma, I have searched and searched and there literally is ZERO evidence that he holds extremist political views

He “supposed” to be alt right? I never heard this and I’ve watched a lot of his interviews lately (just because KZread suggests) and I’ve never got that impression at all. Why are people claiming this? I find him to be conservative yet not so conservative simultaneously depending on the points he’s talking but nothing alt right 🤔

Seen that movie over 20 times and never put this together, damn. This is why I love Tolkien.
Here Kali is symbolism of uncontrolled destruction potential of universe and the imagery points to the futility of humans in a scenario where if they built such destructive potentials ( depicted as Kali) they won't be able to control it (as Shiva himself has to come to stop Kali who ignores him and stomps over him) And the tongue of the Kali is the symbol of regret as Kali is a form of parvati, the consort of Shiva himself

And just how many lectures in school have YOU attended that ended with applause from the students? I have been backing up in the lectures, from the later ones. Now I want to start at the beginning of Dr Petersons' voyage of discovery and follow in his footsteps. They are deep ones, but they blaze an important trail. Frankly, I resent that I am older than him - if only I had met his ideas earlier in my life, how might it have been different. If you are young and just beginning on your journey, PAY ATTENTION, there is wisdom to be found here.

Incredible connections and deep thinking - Amazing lectures. Always and eternally inspiring

Absolutely true. We may know what it means to be a mom or dad, so we can act it out but we can't essentially say what it takes to be a parent. Lord knows, my parents have tried, though. This i watch on my mom's birthday.
when this happened to me I thought I was losing my mind. I didn't know that it was a natural part of the human experience. My upbringing and culture had not prepared me for the journey. Interestingly enough, the preparation I needed came naturally from within. Everything I needed to re-assemble into a valuable, functioning structure was already there waiting for me in the shadows of my being. If you're going through this...I would like to offer up these words: death before dying is a gift. hold on to hope. let go of knowing. breathe. Allow yourself to become small to make space for the you that is arriving.

Well the representation of Kali is totally different. Although I don't know what picture you got Mr Jordan, but the representation of Kali is which I can Frame by understanding which photograph you are referring is that, she is representing a embodiment of power and the man below her feet is not her child, he's shiva(husband of Parvati, and Kali is incarnation of parvati). He went under because it is said that Kali was so angry that he was about to end whole universe, as she is the goddess of power in hinduism. Would say you are right at point of Nature over men, which the act represents. I think you were misinformed about this.
Your lectures are way better than what I got at collage, you teach understanding and meaning, at my collage they only thought us raw facts, I could have gotten the same experience just from reading the books

I found a clip from this lecture in my recommendations and it seemed relevant to my life right now, so I searched for the full thing. Just one thing I have to add, the reason that character from marvel doesn’t have one of his eyes is not because of legitimate danger he faced. It was his cat that scratched his eye out😂

Being Baptised into Christ's Nation was the single proudest greatest day of my life. I was 33 years old. It's true how you describe the experience, the water washes away any insults or hateful motivations you had to purify your spirit. When you appear again soaked through and take your first breath, it symbolises another thing. Now you can breathe easy, you don't have to be disgusted by your own past natures and actions. All is forgiven the very second you repent and give yourself to Christ and to our Father in Heaven. So 32 years as a gobby Atheist, and 8 years as a humble Christian and it has been the toughest but also the best 8 years. Thank God for God :)
Live by the spirit not the flesh. Speak Life!
Reading Mircea Eliade's 'A History of Religious Ideas'... Only on page 39 and I'm running out of sticky notes :-) Having difficulty understanding the myth of Hainuwele from Ceram, New Guinea. The thought of a murdered semi-divine maiden springing forth as yet unknown edible foodstuffs seems a bit simple given the brilliance of the discovery of cultivation by these people. It seems that the translation (and the ultimate game of 'telephone' of oral traditions) may have missed something important. It would seem that murder was confused with a voluntary sacrifice of oneself for the benefit of the tribe. The sacrifice is not ones life in a suicidal sense but rather the life's work of someone to provide something new and useful for the people. This sacrifice of time and effort would fit better than the assumption that a murder took place due to the outrage of others at the discovery that food grew from crap... This would NO DOUBT be obvious to anyone living at the time. People gotta go somewhere and the obvious correlation to human and animal feces to punctuated plant growth must have been known. Considering that my interpretation would allow the stated account for the division of labor between cultivator (women) and hunter/Sheppard/protector (men), the discovery of the need of chronological data for farming and only add the more important need to sacrifice time and labor to result in a hopeful harvest later, I can only surmise that the idea of murder is insufficient to properly explain the impetus for their rational to support the mode of being that results in creative cultivation, division of labor and simultaneously accounts for the sacred nature of the feminine. That was the longest sentence I have ever written in my life.... sorry :-)

Yes, thats it.He also talks about it in this one: watch
I laid out this dilemma a couple weeks ago and I want to reformulate it, because you might make some use of it. Okay, here it is: the preservation of meaning in, for example, stories, has two effects: 1) it creates the possibility that an individual will encounter that text and become more enlightened and a better person as a result, and 2) it reduces the immediate need of individuals everywhere to even concern themselves with meaning because anyone who might rely on that person for instructive wisdom and virtue can instead be edified by the preservations. The dilemma is that it's not clear whether the 1st effect renders the 2nd desirable or even acceptable. The dilemma is that the goal of preserving meaning actually sabotages the necessity to wrestle with it.

it can't be both in the exact same moment, however quick alternations of the state are possible and make up the contradictory nature Peterson refers to. You hate somebody, and love him 5 minutes later, different parts of you operating at different times, yet in its totality it can be experienced as one paradoxical phenomenon.

Wow....Jordan is completely wrong about the story of the goddess Kali. It's actualy an avatar of Kali, a midwife called Peryachi. Periyachi is not eating the intestines of the man underfoot (a king she killed by trampling him) but of his queen. The open belly is of the queen on her lap. The child she is holding is the king and queen's child, which they wanted to kill due to a prophecy. If jordan got that wrong...what else did he get wrong?
