2017 Personality 07: Carl Jung and the Lion King (Part 1)

In this lecture, I use Disney's Lion King to further illustrate the basic principles of the personality and clinical theories of Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, student of Nietzsche and Freud, originator of analytical psychology, and great interpreter of mythology and archetype.

I am almost 50 and feel a longing for going back to school. there is nothing like a teacher that imparts with skill a true life passion. It is mesmerizing and humbling at the same time.

The way he can just glide into subtopics so easily and then bring you back to the main one is just so amazing, it's like listening to his actual thought process when he speaks.

[@Wopperific]

This is exactly why I am so engaged in his lectures and interviews. Is thought process is an open book. He doesn’t assume to know anything really but he orally walks you through his internal rational for both (or many) sides of whatever he is considering. To me it’s like verbal poetry and, at times, just as moving.

[@rg8071]

It's exactly how I see his lectures. Another funny characteristic about his thinking process is that as I listen to him speak, he often leads me to think about something before he talks about it. Also, while I'm thinking about it I always wonder if he will address it, and he always does a moment later!

But I consider it extremely fortunate that he was subjected to and attacked by “the thought police”. He stood his ground and we all now have the personal ability to learn from such a great thinker, a great debater and one who can most certainly make you think about one’s own life. Been a long time since someone like him has burst onto the scene.

[@dominiccanis406]

Like the Lion King, the majority of Disney animated classics used to be about heroic adventure and rebirth. But more recently, their messaging is far more chaotic and sometimes dangerous. Before I discovered Dr. Peterson, I felt a tinge of discomfort when I heard the lyrics to Frozened's "Let it go" sung by Elsa, especially the words, "Let the storm rage on! The cold never bothered me anyway." They just seemed so dangerous to me at the time though I didn't specifically know why. Now, with a little bit of knowledge shown to me by Dr Peterson, it's obvious how that song gave permission for lack of responsibility, unbridled rage, self destruction, and nihilism. Now of course, people will say that Love eventually triumphed in the end, though in a confusing none archetypal way, and that "Love saves all" was the lesson. However, considering how memorable Disney songs tend to be, I suspect most will remember Elsa's happy call to rage and nihilism first and remember "Love saves all" a distant second. Also no character in Frozened went through any sort of heroic rebirth journey (heck, even the harsh climb up the peak was parodied by some conveniently found stairs). Worst of all Elsa's rage was never really addressed. I believe the writers thought that Elsa accepting herself and learning to control her powers because of the love she felt for her sister could count as a rebirth. But that rebirth seemed unearned because of the lack of the heroic journey. There was no burning off of the wrong self to achieve the new self, in fact, Elsa reveled in her rage and freedom from responsibility and was presented the most beautifully on her descent into chaos. In fact, she never really ascended out of it. Instead of a heroic rebirth, she had a narcissistic nihilistic, "perfect the way you are" one. Thus, on the whole, the real message was less "Love saves all" or even "Let it go" to more like "You're perfect the way you are, you don't need to take on responsibility, and God help those that piss you off."

[@BrightBlueJim]

I have no idea what Peterson's objections to Frozen are, but he does sometimes describe order as a masculine characteristic, and chaos as feminine. And he often speaks of the necessity of both. Without some order, you can't get basic things done, and without some chaos, you can't move forward out of your comfort zone. This of course incenses Feminists, who hear chaos associated with feminine and can't hold off their rage long enough to hear the rest of the explanation, so they dismiss him as misogynist.

[@ablationer]

@@BrightBlueJim He said that the problem with Frozen is that it's purely ideological and not at all archetypal. There's no real life lessons to take from it except the specific ideology of the writers. Most Disney classics are old stories retold in a much more approachable and pleasing format, but the bottom line and underlying themes stay very much the same. There's always a lot of mystique, symbolism, parallels to draw with yourself, and things to take from it no matter who you are or where you're from. Frozen doesn't quite have that going for it.

[@ToyokaX]

Yup. No more "Be a man" from Mulan. It's all "Let it go" and it is feminist propaganda. See, at least in Mulan, the story was such that it didn't matter if you were a man or a woman, you could be courageous and heroic. That society considered men to be more courageous and heroic was not necessarily wrong, but it also happened to imply that women were only supposed to be beautiful and set in their ways. I mean, Mulan did have a tinge of ideology attached to it (and maybe it even was one of the first of Disney's animations to start pushing this sort of thing) but it was nowhere near the level of ideological propaganda compared to Frozen.

[@4r4ber]

Watching Frozen I strongly felt the two sisters to be ONE. A near- schizophrenic person, that can not integrate her ice-cold type of rationality and her burning need for love and acceptance. - where is the video/podcast/text by JBP where he gives his take on Frozen?

Rajiv Malhotra on the "U-Turn" Theory: "Westerners appropriate Indic ideas through a process called the U-Turn. In its basic form the U-Turn Theory states that a member of the dominant Western culture first whole-heartedly learns the Indic tradition. He or she, for a variety of reasons, then repackages it and projects the knowledge gained from India from within his/her own culture. The next thing you know is that he/she claims these ideas were always an integral part of Western culture. Some, but not all, also start demonizing the source Indic traditions using a lot of pretexts, such as calling them "world negating" or accusing them of "human rights" abuses." "As an example, Malhotra examined on how Jung appropriated much from Indic thought - including key ideas of collective unconscious, archetypes, and synchronicity. Jung met Sanchi and visited the Ramakrishna Order in Calcutta, from the ideas of whom he built the ideas of the Collective Unconscious, but did the classical U-Turn from Indic thought and later claimed these thoughts as his own original ones. In all, Malhotra has done 50+ case studies of such U-Turns, and each has its own story as to why and how it was done. U-Turns have played an important role in shaping Western ideas, literature and popular culture; yet they are typically ignored in discussions on the history of ideas. The U-Turn Theory also explains that many Indians internalize the Western adaptations of Indian culture and re-import them into India: For instance, Tantric healing is more fashionable as "energy healing" or as reiki; yoga's return to India's Westernized middle class owes a lot to the West's adoption of it; and Western research on cognitive science and neuroscience includes yogis who are mere "subjects." In short: He never gave credit to where his "groundbreaking" findings came from.

The entire movie is all about stereotypes that make no sense. The lions are 'kings' namely the FEMALES have a female bond when a male comes and defeats another male, he gets to service the females who are actually a feminist cooperative. The male kills all the babies, get the females pregnant and so long as he can fight off other males, all is well. The females do nearly all the hunting and care while males goof off in between fighting each other. All the animals from top to bottom hate and fear lions. Lions are 'terrorists' and 'vandals' but the vultures and hyenas like the lions who leave a bloody mess which doesn't interest the lions so the others get a feast when the lions eat.

Further, lion 'kings' HATE their sons. They drive the sons away! They don't want to ever have them return. They keep the daughters.

Sun or sunrise represents a beginning of consciousness or moving towards the higher state of consciousness. 16:13 Hierarchy - 1. The notion is is that at the top of the pyramid there's something that actually doesn't belong in the pyramid it's something that goes up above the pyramid and can see everything you're gonna be in a lot of pyramids in your life dominance hierarchies and different states and families and all of that and they'll arrange themselves into a hierarchy and there'll be something at the top and the top is the thing that can do well across hierarchies so it's not stuck in any one pyramid it and it's partly associated with vision and the ability to see a long long distance also to see what you don't want to see and to report that back to the king 2. Our eye and your capacity to pay attention especially to what you don't want to pay attention to is the thing that continually updates that model In The Freudian perspective Of the Psyche it's animalistic and full of of implicit drives sexual and aggressive in particular as far as Freud was concerned and that's because those two drives say unlike thirst or hunger are much more difficult to integrate into proper social being and tend to be excluded and left unconscious, we should integrate these three things to the ego 1.Agressiveness 2.Sexual Drives 3. Anxiety 19:22 -Top Of Hierarchy - 1. standing up straight and tall and that means that being high in serotonin because serotonin governs posterior flexion and you are dominant and near the top of hierarchies you tend to expand so that you look bigger than then you could if you shrunk down and so if you're low dominant person you wander around in low dominant postures so that you look small and weak and you don't pose a threat to anybody but if you're at the top you expand yourself so that you can command the space. 2. When You Integrate Your Dark Side In Your Personality You will look though and then you can express full range of emotions and be capable of kindness and also of cruelty. 21:50 Potential - 1.potential is partly what you could be if you interacted with the world in a manner that would gain you the most information right because you build yourself out of the information in the piagetian sense. 2.If you take yourself and you put yourself in a new environment new genes turn on in your nervous system they encode for new proteins and so you're full of biological Potential that won't be realized unless you move yourself around in the world in two different challenging circumstances and that'll turn on different circuits so it's not merely that you're incorporating information from the outside world in the constructivist sense it's that by exposing yourself to different environments you put different physiological demands on yourself all the way down to the genetic level and that manifests new elements of you. 3. If You want to be the king you need to Integrate the tradition and rescue your father from the underworld. 27:40 - ### 1. The way to full maturity is to find what you lost as a child and regain it . You have to regain your capacity once you're disciplined and you know how to do something you have to regain your capacity for play and sort of for wide-eyed wonder and that's maybe the childlike part of your spirit.and the reintegration of that childlike part with the adult grown-up part Revival the adult grown-up part and allows the child to manifest itself in a disciplined way in the world. 28:27 - You Should Be someone who's a master at playing a game and also who's also a master at improving how to play that game at the same time. 30:44 - the king always has an evil brother and also the hero always has an adversary and the reason for that is the king always has an evil brother and that means that the state always has a tyrannical element and the tyrannical element exists for two reasons 1. one is the state deteriorate of its own accord and that's an entropy observation what that means is that the state is a construction of the past right but the present isn't the same as the past and to the degree that the past is mismatched with the demands of the present then it's then it's then it's a tyrannical it's malfunctioning and so it's it's a continual problem with the state it's always two steps behind the environment and so then that means that the awareness of living people has to update the state. 33:12 - When a flood comes into your life, you might be destroyed because you might not have build your defenses strongly enough and may have a willful blindness and also might be cause of the harm in your life.Where the flood comes and you're surrounded by chaos and you'll look into it you'll think I knew this was coming I knew I wasn't paying attention I knew I hadn't sorted things out and the consequences of that will have cascaded and wiped you out and then you're in real trouble because not only did you get wiped out but you also know it's your fault and that is not a good thing that makes you bitter and resentful and murderous. 33:47- The Evil adversary of the state or the people are generally Hyper Intelligent rational the problem with irrationality with rationality is that it tends to fall in love with its own product and so then it comes up with a theory that makes that a totality and then it won't let go. [Evil Is A Thing/A person/a being that says I know all and there is no more to life then the things I know] Rationality seems more left hemisphere focused and the left hemisphere tends to impose structured order on the world and be updated by the right hemisphere and the right hemisphere generally updates it with negative information and with fantasy and so the left hemisphere will impose a coherent structure on the world which is really necessary for you live in it but the problem is there's a tension between coherence and completeness and that's partly why you need two hemispheres you need one to represent the world and you need one to keep track of the exceptions and to feed those slowly into the representational system so that it so that it can stay updated without collapsing into complete chaos. 36:14 Reason For Downfall - Reason that Osiris{Person/King or ruler] got overthrown by set was because he was willfully blind old senile[shaving the weakness or disease of the old age] and willfully blind same idea as the flood myth. 38:21 On moving to a new place - If you move into a new place that you will not be comfortable there until you've investigated potentially cleaned and repaired every single square inch of it the more attention you pay to it the more it'll become yours and that's far more than mere like material ownership which is also relevant but in order to feel comfortable somewhere and to dominate that place to be in meshed in that place you have to attend to it you have to shine light on every corner and you have to do that with yourself and with your relationships as well. 39:49 On Going To The Unexplored Territory - If you go outside what you know i.e unexplored territory] it will cause a fall because it'll damage your knowledge structures and you'll go down into chaos and that can really destroy but by the same token if you do it successfully then the new you that arises can be stronger and more complete than the previous you. 41:40 On Hero - The hero breaks a rule in the service of a higher good[has a judiciousness of rule breaking] but he's still breaking the rules and that's what puts them outside the boundary of the social establishment. 42:00 On Introduction Of Tyrannical Element Of The State - So as a child when you're being socialized you encounter the tyranny of the state and one of the best you can't yet there's no way around it. 42:13 On Happiness Discipline And Tyranny - Children are always running around having fun and they're really bubbly and and impulsive and joyous and playful and that causes a lot of trouble because positive emotion is very disruptive. They'll run around and break things they'll hurt themselves and they'll get into trouble. You're always saying calm down sit down behave don't do that and it's it's not because they're crying or angry it's because there's a day I'm happy and impulsive that no one can stand them and so and so that's a Tyranny it's like that the state puts pressure on you to regulate your emotions positive and negative and it crushes you it crushes the life out of you a lot of it and so you end up being adolescent and you're all mopey because the holes especially because you've been forced to sit down in school for like 17 years you're all sad and it's no wonder you know you've had the spirit taken out of you by the process of discipline. 44:47 Encountering The Female Anima - anima the Jungian anima and the anima is the feminine counterpart in the soul.The Anima got this supercilious[behaving or looking as though one thinks one is superior to others.] and judgmental and teasing look on her face and she's really trying to put him down and this is what the anima does the soul, she's the thing that teaches the exploratory hero that it's not everything it could be,it's part of the eternal tendency of women to make men self-conscious by their sexual selectivity.

I love the way Jordan takes these personality topics and applies it to things like the Lion King / Pinocchio. Other profs get trapped in the big words and ideas but they don't land like Jordan. He makes the idea relatable.

[@jasonm7700]

Dr. Peterson's assessment of films like the Lion King is far more refreshing and intellectually useful with respect to understanding human nature than what you'd typically find from what a postmodernist "scholar" might say about the film. The postmodernists would likely look at the whole thing as some sort of oppression narrative related to sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc... inserting abstruse and incomprehensible buzzwords and rhetoric throughout their narrow and myopic "analysis".

My life has improved dramatically since, Thank You Dr. Peterson.

[@beckothegecko6677]

26:00 "Isn't that cute!?" "No it's a lizard." I laughed so hard at that because I'm a little (well more than a little) obsessed with lizards and I call them cute all the time. When Dr. Peterson mentioned the word lizard I instantly perked up.

Prof Peterson has some great insight on the human mind. He is one of the few people I know that has explained what post traumatic stress is about, understanding what triggers it goes along way into resolving the problem. Its amazing how much he has got out of this simple story. It just shows how his mind thinks. Prof Peterson is one of the few people I like to listen to as what he says isn't BS. If you can walk away from a talk and actually come away with knowledge then you know you've listened to someone who knows what their are talking about.

[@ceriusStra]

Just complete my BS in Psychology, in second half of life. Am proud to say the hard work culminated to graduating Summa Cum Laude. While the college was conservative, enduring the teachings from liberal texts was appalling. Its like the field of psychology was hijacked by SJW and PC. I'm going for my Masters in Art Therapy/Counseling with a cautious spirit, due to the liberal state of affairs. However, now I have Dr. Peterson's teachings as a guiding light and mindful compass. Am so grateful for these Videos, for these will keep me "sane" in what may be treading on tumultuous waters.

Professor Peterson... thank you so much for choosing to put up these lectures. Because of you, I've taken a more enthusiastic interest in psychology... and I never would have read The Gulag Archipelago if you didn't speak about it. Please keep putting up more content. You have my support until the end.

edwardschlosser1 I’ve gotta a psychology degree and I agree with you. But I believe it is due to the way psychology is taught. The focus so much on things things that you have already learned through experience. We spoke very little on Piaget and we never even touched Jung or Freud, that got my knickers in a bunch. If it were taught the way that Dr. Peterson does it, where you have to wrestle with concepts in your head, it would be far more difficult and worthwhile.

I miss this version of Jordan Peterson. Not poisoned by politics, genuine and authentic. I just see a man that has been poked and provoked into another person. This stuff has ate him alive. I'm happy to see him still going. But definitely not the same anymore.

[@squeezeme3316]

Jordan Peterson is manic at this point. How wonderful the diversity of personality. Hurray! Freedom Live Forever!

Since my encounter with Dr Peterson and Maps of meaning, I see archetypes everywhere. I could feel them before but now it's more conscious. Recently I had a conversation about Crime and punishment with my 20 yr old cousin and essentially he started the subject; I could not believe it!

The fact that he gets an applause after a _lecture_ is pretty interesting

another thing I noticed in Scars intro: we also see him try to devour Zazu (the eye of the king). Perhaps we can see this as the dark hyper-rational part of our personality to purposely make us blind and destructive?

[@jesuscuevas5621]

I think you're spot on. He said in another lecture that totalitarian rationality thinks that its knowledge is complete, therefore it 'has no need' to pay attention since it already knows everything about everything

[@colmanburks5583]

I think it was just comedic

[@FreeAmerica4Ever]

Yes, I think it's our shadow self's attempt to blind us so we are unable to see the repercussions of our self destruction, acted on by parts of us that we therefore, inspite of desire, are incapable of actually seeing it's part of us, not outside forces wrecking our lives and relationships.

I talk to LGBT people in the UK and they simply do not believe that it's true or possible. It's AMAZING. WORDS which must be said??? Really??? ... RE Jordan... The "story" tells that usually one man stands against evil. I think it's because it only takes one spark of truth to start a fire. ... Yes. There is an army behind Dr Peterson. It's not just an army of pseudo intellectuals such as myself posting pointless comments on youtube either. Real people will not stand for having their rights taken and many of them have guns. Jordan is averting a war... A lot of people died for those rights. They will not be given back. If they put Jordan in prison he will not eat. If he does that Bill C16 will fail because the public will be forced to understand the real issues. Jordan knows this. "They" know this. It's going to be very, very interesting...
