Jordan Peterson | The Red Book of Carl Jung

The most influential unpublished work in the history of psychology. When Carl Jung embarked on an extended self-exploration he called his “confrontation with the unconscious,” the heart of it was The Red Book, a large, illuminated volume he created between 1914 and 1930. Here he developed his principle theories—of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation—that transformed psychotherapy from a practice concerned with treatment of the sick into a means for higher development of the personality.

What Jung might be revealing is not the source of understanding, but instead the source of knowledge, the mind, which produced the grand illusion of self. What Jung withheld from the public but revealed in the Red Book, was his awareness of an intelligence that transcended the mind, something he referred to as divine madness. Some today might call it pure consciousness, or just consciousness. Peterson's capacity as a speaker is an exceptional performance.

Regardless of the divide on who accepts or relates to what Jordan's perspective and beliefs are I find Jordan's speeches not only pure of heart, but always, ALWAYS spoken with compassion and emotion. Any emotionally intellectual being would respect his intentions only to be good natured. Grateful for the compassion he shares in his beliefs, the vulnerability is above all so appreciated.

Jung was almost driven mad by his intellectual intuition. The spirit is stronger than this shell I wear. Thank you JP...

[futureshocked]

I've actually done what Jung did but by total accident. I had covid and was laying in bed one night totally suffering...but more from back pain. So I did something. I asked my backpain a question. I took the pain, made a character in my imagination and started asking it questions. The back pain was my inner child, very damaged, literally screaming at me to look at my childhood again. It wanted to be held and to no longer be ignored. So in my imagination I welcomed it in, gave it a hug. It clawed and teared at me at first, then finally relaxed. I was bawling my eyes out. Ever since then I have been on an upward path to healing myself.

The greatest thing I have ever heard is when JBP said your a loaded weapon in the presence of your children.
It changed me on a fundamental level that I still dont understand.

Im just not the same person

[michaelduwel]

Beautifully conveyed, thank you! As a side note, the music was amazing, yet could have been a tad more quiet for me.

[Celinah]

I love the music in the back. It makes me concentrate more on the meaning of his words❤

[elizabethcsicsery-ronay]

Good for you, Jordan. I agree. Jung's genius is off the charts. So much more profound than Freud. I've been captivated by Jung since high school.

[kent]

The music is not needed. But I hadn't seen Peterson talk about the Red Book. So I will go find this clip. Thank you.

[SirUnderwood]

Always is a good day to learn something new and amazing from the good old Doc Peterson!

[PakiRaja]

jordan peterson is an expert in his field, and almost compulsive listening when he talks about his specialisation, i wish he did it more these days.

[jacobzaranyika]

Thank you both of you. Jordan and Publisher.

[nitishgautam]

Wow i am impressed by this guy's choice of words . He must have read thousands of books

[knockda]

I needed this today- sometimes things on the net seem boring average then I turn to Jung.. & start digging

[potatoe]

Humanity is not yet fully aware of how deep are the marks left by Carl Jung towards our chances to persevere and evolve as species. It will take time...lots of things have to crumble. And it will hurt

[abelherrera]

I’ve been reading the book for the past week, only 20% done, but it’s such an eye opener. He stated, the subconscious mind, is of a higher wisdom, and the fact that it tells you what to do, even with contemporary ignorance, there’s always a wisdom that mitigates that. Really interesting how he was able to understand the dove that turned into an 8 year blonde girl playing with children. The symbolism behind it, is remarkable.

[deprofundisclamaviasmr]

I think I’m in love with Jung. And Nietzsche.

[VarjoFilosofi]

Speaking about IQ with Jung and Nietzsche doesn't feel quite right. Their genius didn't have anything to do with IQ, but their deep connection to something which lived inside their psyche. They listened to that voice with an open mind and channeled that. If you start doing the same, you will find absolutely terrifying things which are very rewarding at the same time.

[zachmcelroy]

I underwent a break with reality. Or a psychosis.
My imagination or something else saved me.
Alone in a car for a year.
I wrote my thoughts in a small black book.
Maybe syncronysity brought me to jung.
Terrifying to think someone else went through the same thing.
And comforting

[charlesdahmital]

And then there
Where you can walk up and talk to those archetypes.
