Started reading Tolstoy The kingdom of God is Within you today. Seems like the foundation of Peterson's belief on the merit of lessons of Christ, but sees how the institution of Christianity as a whole has become corrupt.

I'd advise looking into philosophy too, especially the Spinoza-Nietzsche-Deleuze filiation, their metaphysics is very close to Jung. It's a beauty. I don't know any good book in English about it though (I'm sure there are though), but for those who understand French, there are very good refs to philosophy classes that I can give.
Also, Jung's BBC interviews can be found on the Djootube and are very interesting, especially since they were done at the end of his life when his ideas were the most mature.
>>135987749
Yeah I started reading beyond good and evil but it was so dense I needed a companion book to go along with it. Not dense as in, verbose, but like, complex and deep. Pic related really helped me better understand what he was talking about.
>>135987749
eternal return is such an incredible concept, and really a great mental model to help you live properly.
>What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!"
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?... Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?

>>135988241
Yes Nietzsche is extremely profound and complex, but once you understand the gist of what he says, it all makes more sense. What helped me a lot (and maybe it can be of interest to you) was for me to understand that he was opposing a philosophy of eternal essences (à la Plato) with a philosophy of power, which is called an ethics, and which states that creatures, including us, are not fixed essences, like a soul with a given identity for example, but a force, a strength that affects and is affected by the world. This is why he is so much (and by his own account) a descendent of Spinoza. And also a predecessor of Deleuze.
>eternal return is such an incredible concept, and really a great mental model to help you live properly.
I agree so much. It's helped sort myself out, not surprisingly, very efficiently, durably and in the way I wanted.
>Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?
Beautiful prosaic truth bomb. I think the eternal return is in part a way to practically enhance one's life day to day : for all the choices you are confronted to in life, just ask yourself if you would like to live the consequences of this choice for eternity, again and again and again. It's so close the Spinoza's Ethics... I mean, that's when you realize that philosophy is nothing abstract but really something for yourself.
Oh by the way, I think Whitehead may be of interest to you - if he isn't already : he is one of the unsung geniuses of the 20th century. Alas, he was ignored because Wittgenstein became all the rage, but his books are a marvel of this world and I'd strongly advise any English reader to try and give it a shot. He also is within the Nietzsche nebula, with a slightly more pragmatic tone.
>>135989343
You should read it, but pic related is the summary.
Example: There is the subtext, which is a challenge, say danger. The responses range from deficient (cowardice) to excessive (foolhardy) with the ideal response being a mean (courage).
>>135989343
I'm just finishing my first quick read but what I got was that virtue is excellence, and excellence is attainable by all men.
Also that the perfect virtues lie in between excess and deficiency. So, courage is a median between cowardice and rashness. However, the virtues lie closer to one extreme than another. So rashness is closer to courage than cowardice is.
He talks about justice and responsibility for one's actions as well but it went over my head on the first read.
>>135989475
ahhhh okay so that is what he is referring to with "will to power." He can be so terse that I really have to ponder each sentence, each word really, to get the sentence to get the paragraph to get the idea. I have so much to learn and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment here. And thank you for spelling out that guiding undercurrent of his for me!

I really found this paper fascinating. Especially the parts about the researchers views on the nature of consciousness.

Pic related book was one of the first grownup books I ever got into, was about ten at the time. It still fascinates me. The pic of a corridor receding into the distance still creeps me out for some reason.
I'm reading that book The Strange Death Of Europe now. And considering re-exploring some classic lit like Dickens, whom I love.
Recently re-read my favorite novel of all time, Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis. I highly recommend it--everything by him really, but that one's his masterpiece.
On a dare I read Eat Pray Love recently. Had to skim a lot of it because the author irritated me so hugely. She's not unintelligent and she has the occasional interesting thought, but still, what a can of worms. I can see how this book inspired a lot of women (of all ages) to do some really stupid shit. It seems like a midlife book but she was actually in her mid 30s. The part about Siddya Yoga was mildly interesting as I used to date a chick in the 90s who was into that; it actually was the only thing that ever made her act normal/sane so overall it's probably not that bad of an organization. I remember I told her that the old dead former-Guru looked like a perv and we argued about it; now, 20 years later, turns out he was. Ha.
Oh, read Yuri Bezmenov's short book online recently. Worthwhile, of course. I wish he were still around.

>The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli

Literally the perfect collection of literature and knowledge
I've posted this in other threads recently, but I found this book to be extremely interesting - if awkwardly written:
http://www.truthcontest.com/entries/the-present-with-religion/
The author claims it's the first of its kind - it isn't, but it's certainly got its own spin on the concepts.
Similar to Alan Watts, Joseph Campbell, Tao Te Ching, etc.
Nature of consciousness stuff, life death, heaven hell, that sort of thing.
Alan Watts is by far my favorite author on this topic though.
Mostly chaos theory and game theory stuff lately.
>>135998458

I'm just a lowly deck-ape, so I don't know much about all that. CCG is primarily concerned with SOLAS (safety of life at sea, icebreaking, SAR, aids to navigation) and science work.

There is truth wrapped up in the fables. Taking it all literally is literally retarded though. Joseph Campbell talks about it in the Power of Myth, so does Alan Watts (he was an Anglican clergyman and theologist before he started studying Taoism and Zen). The truth that you can find is mind boggling. See also the link in one of my previous posts.
