Show Notes
In this episode Chris discusses a monologue from Dr. Jordan Peterson on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast (episode 1933), which struck him hard. In it Dr. Peterson describes how the ancient Hebrews were able to know the unknowable, to know God. His analysis struck me as identical to the intuition gained from mystical experience. It is a way of knowing the unknowable, which paradoxically relies on not-knowing. Jordan outlines the 'spirit' that runs through the Biblical stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Able, the Tower of Babel, Noah and Abraham. By abstracting what connects each story together and chipping away the stories themselves, we are left with a kind of "knowing by inference, by elimination"... a knowing by not knowing. What the hell does this mean? Find out here...
