414. The Rebirth of the Sacred with John Vervaeke
The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
Philosophy of Transformation: Baptism and Beyond
This chapter examines the parallels between baptism and the shamanic experience of death and rebirth, grounding the discussion in René Descartes' epistemological contributions. It emphasizes the limitations of self-referential thinking while exploring the nature of thought as secularized prayer—an avenue for revelation and deeper understanding. The conversation further delves into the necessity of confession, the state of aporia, and the transformative spiritual journey that fosters authentic engagement with knowledge and existence.
