Hello,

This week's edition looks at if you really want a safe space. Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris and I delve into the world of psychedelic research. Then, from the archives, how to develop your future self by applying Jungian Psychology. 

Do You Really Want a Safe Place?

Is that what you want?

You want to be so weak that you are protected from threats? What the hell kind of life is that? You are a paralyzed rabbit in a hole. That is no life for a human being.

You should be confronting danger and the unknown and malevolence. The reason for that is: The solution to the problem of tragedy and malevolence is the willingness to face them now.

Who the hell would ever guess that? It is a completely paradoxical suggestion. Well, why does it work? Because the more you confront the two of them, the more you grow, and maybe you can grow so that you are actually larger than the chaos and malevolence itself.

And you think, "Well, what is the evidence for that?" That is easy. That is what people do.

From The Archives

Your Potential Future Self: How To Apply Jungian Psychology To Your Life | Jordan B Peterson

Dr. Peterson:
"There is an idea in Jungian psychology called "the circumambulation," and Jung had this idea that you have a potential future self which would be, in potential, everything that you could be. It manifests itself moment to moment in your present life by making you interested in things, and the things that you're interested in are the things that would guide you along the path that would lead you to maximal development."
