414. The Rebirth of the Sacred with John Vervaeke

The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast

NOTE

Consciousness, self-correction, and ancient theology

The speaker discusses the conscious equivalent of a dream, emphasizing the need for continual self-correction and the absence of pride and guilt. They draw parallels between the practices mentioned and the theurgic practices in neoplatonic tradition and Eastern Orthodox Christianity. The speaker stresses the importance of being open to self-correction and highlights the idea of faithfulness to a process of self-correction as opposed to claiming to have the truth. They relate the eye of Horus at the pinnacle of the pyramid to the aware attention that allows for continual self-correction and reference the gospel of Thomas in discussing the kingdom of God being spread upon the earth.
