00:02:11.100It's written in a female hand, so that's about all I can tell, but there's no address or name on it.
00:02:22.600This isn't a question, but a comment, or more accurately, perhaps, a message.
00:02:29.320I spent this past weekend in an ayahuasca ceremony, which for those of you who don't know, is a South American visionary plant medicine.
00:02:39.460Some of you may roll your eyes at this, but ayahuasca brings you into direct contact with the archetypal realm of being.
00:02:48.840Users of this medicine, initiates, I should say, refer to ayahuasca as she, because the spirit of the plant is decidedly feminine.
00:02:59.720An encounter with ayahuasca is an encounter with the Great Mother of Creation, the goddess, the void from which all things come, the feminine counterpart of logos.
00:03:10.000Dr. Peterson, you appeared in one of my ayahuasca visions.
00:03:15.580Might account for why I've been rather fatigued lately.
00:03:31.540Dr. Peterson, you appeared in one of my ayahuasca visions.
00:03:34.520And I asked her, who is Jordan Peterson?
00:03:48.520He is here to invoke and initiate the divine masculine principle on earth at this time.
00:03:55.740So I'm up here to thank you deeply and profoundly on behalf of the Great Mother herself, the goddess, the divine feminine principle,
00:04:12.860who has been eagerly awaiting the awakening of the masculine principle into divinity and service.
00:04:21.320So, you know, get a letter like that every day.
00:04:24.160Actually, I get a letter or two like that every day.
00:04:28.920So, you know, what went through my head when I read this, and this is, of course, a completely crazy parallel,
00:04:39.980but, you know, one of the things I learned to do as a psychotherapist was just to tell people who were talking to me what came into my head.
00:04:48.400It isn't what I'm thinking exactly, because that's not exactly the same thing, you know.
00:04:54.320What comes into your head is more like a dream.
00:04:59.260If you're thinking, there seems to be like a voluntary element of that, right?
00:05:03.340I mean, some of, who God only knows how we think, but it seems partly voluntary at least.
00:05:09.480And Jung thought about it, Carl Jung thought about it like a dialogue between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind.
00:05:15.860There was a continual dialogue, but when things just pop into your mind, it's not much different than walking into a room and having something there,
00:05:24.800which is an observation I also derived from Jung, by the way, because he pointed out quite rightly that people don't really think that thoughts appear to them.
00:05:34.080Now, you can think, because you can take the thoughts that appear to you, and then you can subject them to criticism and elaboration and so on,
00:05:41.160instead of just assuming that they're true right off the bat.
00:05:43.200But people often don't do that, they just, something just pops into their head, and then they assume that it's true.
00:05:49.720Anyways, one of the things that I tend to do in psychotherapy is just to tell people what pops into my head, because...
