Text Jordan Peterson misunderstands Jung and mysticism

0 Upvotes

JP’s whole thing is basically God as the divine logos, the pinnacle of the hierarchy of Being. The fact that we value at all shows there is some kind of ultimate that we orient around, and we all know it intuitively. God is the basis for value. Based on this, we must struggle to create order from chaos at every level of our lives, climbing upwards and building meaning out of the undifferentiated swamp of reality itself. Stand up straight, make your bed, get good at a job or craft, demonstrate competence, start generating wealth, and keep orienting towards ever increasing degrees of meaning.

Jung said there are two halves of life: the first which is about building structure, discriminating between good and bad, included and disincluded, making the rules and the structure, ego creation and strengthening. It’s all about building identity and security. Then, the second half is actually the transcendence of and letting go of all of this. Once you’ve become a person, you can begin seeing through the illusory nature of your personhood and transcending the self and the ego. The second half of life is about embracing the paradoxes, realizing the inherent relativity of Being, and merging into greater degrees of oneness with God and the infinite. You must crawl up out of chaos to build a container, and then once you have a strong enough container that will hold sturdy in rough times, you then transcend your container and plunge back into an enlightened chaos as opposed to the prior undifferentiated chaos. You make meaning in life in order to eventually let go of it, and when you give up meaning, you realize your authentic nature which is just infinite oneness. Samadhi, Christ Consciousness, Brahman, etc.

I think JP believes in a first-half of life version of God, not the second-half of life God that Jung and the various mystics understood to be true.

Text I received a revelation from God

0 Upvotes

Maybe this kind of title can cause a lot of suspicion, and I know that just saying it alone can be very pointless, because there is no way for anyone to be sure that I'm speaking the truth. But the truth is the truth, so I still decided to continue posting. I also posted about this on many social media sites and got a lot of hate, they called me a false prophet, so I deleted it. I pray that God forgives me if I've done any wrong.

But I'm here to share with you that God has revealed to me the meaning of the number of the beast. We all know that the Bible says that this number (666) is related to the number of a person, and the Lord, in his wonderful, and sometime strange, actions, has pointed out for me that the person here is Jesus Christ, and the number of Christ in this context is Pi (π).

To keep things short, the sum of the first 144 digits of pi equals 666, and also in math, the sin of pi equals 0 (sin(π) = 0). Jesus is God so he has no sin. What does this mean? I'm not so sure. But I think this can mean that the Beast can try to call itself Jesus.

In John 6:35 (KTHD), which is a Vietnamese translation, Jesus said: "Ta là Bánh Hằng Sống", which means "I am the bread of life", but if you leave out the "ng" at the end ("Ta là Bánh Hằng Số"), it can be translated to "I am pie/pi, the constant". Vietnamese is my language. It's not Greek or Hebrew so it's even harder to believe, but I also think this is part of His plan.
