Jordan Peterson on How Psychedelic Experiences Could've Shaped Religion

Taken from JRE #1933 w/Jordan Peterson:

[DeborahPatterson-vk]

Dmt, LSD and psilocybin containing mushrooms are amazing. I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with BPD. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Research shows that psilocybin mushrooms have promising results for mental health support, particularly in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.

“Remove the inhibition of memory from perception “ that is real as real gets and that is exactly what a psychedelic experience can bring and has brought to me…not every time but the few true over the top defining trips in my life have and that’s life changing and life growing

[SteveSavage]

“Turn on, tune in, grow up!” Jordan Peterson. Absolutely brilliant.

[ThePatriotParadox]

"Beware of unearned Wisdom", that's a brilliant quote.

[JudahTheantidote]

Jordan with the two face blazer is killing it.

[TimTalley]

Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back. Totally got rid of depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.

[turd.burglartrufax]

The way he just described psychedelics is awesome, I couldn’t have done it better

[jopo]

Harvey Dent is making some valid points here

[jamiepaolinetti]

"Remove the inhibition of memory from perception." What a great observation.

3:13 has to be one of my favorite Peterson moments...seeing him smile and laugh like that, a man as serious, smart, respectful, and just down right amazing all around, made me genuinely happy.

I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free, the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did

“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.” - Terence Mckenna

Happy to see Jordan Peterson back on JRE

[chadisleiman]

This conversation was awesome. Brought to my mind a comparison between psychedelics and the "forbidden fruit" or "apple of knowledge"? Interesting thought.

[drakosophos]

“Beware of unearned wisdom” is a trope. It was peddled in Mormonism my whole life and I still see it online today.

The same can be said for the techniques used by so-called prophets, seers, revelators, and every-day priesthood holders.

Beware of self-proclaimed, unexamined wisdom is more like it.

[kung-fukennyfamily]

The reason Jordan Peterson is so popular is because our world has gone mad and he's saying what most of us are thinking but very eloquently

[jonnyhatter]

the Jung quote at the end is perfect. Reminds me this guy who once told me, "It's ok to take psychedelics to reach enlightenment, as long as you remember that you're getting enlightenment on credit. If you just keep tripping and going to festies and doing nothing to better humanity and the world, you will build up a huge karmic debt, and it will be hard to get out of it."
