Still cannot fathom how lucky we are to be able to listen to these kinds of conversations for free. I am extremely grateful.

Brian's book, "The Immortality Key", is extraordinary. It's a story that begins with curiosity, which turns into an investigation, which turns into a thrilling adventure.

Psilocybin saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years the be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

My first trip with LSD was an awakening. I had a panic attack in the beginning (I was nervous), and then I was confronted with how profoundly alone in this life I am. I can have people around, but still the only person in my head is me. The only one who really understands my desires, emotions, and intentions is me alone. That to me made me realize that I didn't have to tell anyone anything. I am not as dependant as I thought I was. But I was with family, and we went outside under the stars to talk all night long. When the affects were wearing off, I was the happiest and most easy going I have been in years. It's like all of my anxiety went away and I felt a calm I had never experienced before. It was amazing.

Yes, please get Paul Stamets on the show! He's a fascinating figure, and more relevant than ever now.

It's so fucking great that Jordan is back.

I am an older woman. I believe many more women listen to your podcasts than is realized. I know several who know of and appreciate your insights. Thank you so much for your bravery and honesty and the incredible effort you have put into studying the science of psychology and humanities to the depth that you have achieved.

waited my whole life to hear this conversation and it has consolidated my experience

I’m here to tell you that psilocybin, and LSD, when combined with actual internal exploration can bring about fundamental changes. Micro dosing has served me well. While I have not actually ingested enough in any single session to actually have a “trip”, the results over the years speak for itself. I suffered from untreated and misdiagnosed PTSD. For decades I suffered depression and anxiety, that threatened my sanity. Along with these wonderful substances and an acceptance of Christ, I’ve been able to pull myself above all the issues and have begun to clean up my room. God bless you Jordan Peterson. With God and you on my side I can now live a good life. A life in which I can give back to those around me and build something for the future. Please take care of yourself Dr. Peterson. The world is better for having you in it.

the world needs Paul Stamets interviewed by Jordan Peterson.

Ruck: "If you want to study the soul, you have to study the humanities". This conversation and the research that Muraresku and Ruck have done are on the cutting edge. Wonderful

Carl's shirt is priceless! Not to mention his conclusion of his experience!

Oof that last quote from Prof. Ruck hit deep: "Once you wake up it's hard to remember the dream..."

As someone who has “experimented” tremendously with LSD, psilocybin, DMT, 2C-B etc., I truly enjoyed watching this conversation. While I definitely don’t encourage others to use such drugs, I can without a doubt say that it is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself, because it has granted me the opportunity to expand my horizon and look at the world through a different lens. One of the greatest benefits that I’ve gained from it is the ability to deal with or rather “accept” my mortality.

Thank you Dr. Petersen for having the courage to bring these conversations to this open forum ❤

Having a near death experience, and two psychedelic breakthroughs with dmt and psylocibin - this whole conversation and the immortality key - is understood very easily. Love this video and the book is in order. I frequently post about these experiences. “If you want to know the secret to life, think energy, frequency and vibration”. - nikola Tesla

This is the most important conversation to reclaim the religion of our ancestors; this time out of the hands of institutions, and into the hands of the individuals to help them rediscover the transcendent values for themselves.

Dr Peterson thank you for acknowledging the danger of alcohol. As a recovering alcoholic, 7 years sober, it is a breath of fresh air to hear somebody point out the danger instead of just idiotically admiring it.

This was incredible. People are beginning to understand! And what a treat to have such brilliant minds discuss this and distribute it to us at no cost. Thanks so much Jordan!

This has been, single handedly, one of the best conversations I have ever listened to.

This was over TOO soon, I loved every second of it. Thank you JP!

The last 3 minutes of this conversation... mind-blowing.

How refreshing it is to hear highly intelligent, passionate people discuss their ideas - so different from the rabid despots who rage against Jordan when he dares to remain dignified and polite in the face of their attacks. Thank you gentlemen, it was a pleasure to hear you today.

I went from an addict hardly able to maintain a part time job, to a Space Satellite Engineer that teaches youths as a guest lecturer in a relatively short amount of time because of Paul Stamets (and also no small part to the lectures from yourself) work. Defiantly interview worthy. Great to see the King on form once again!

Jordan never misses the opportunity to bring up the story of rescuing your father from the Belly of the Beast

I just saw Brian Muraresku, Psychedelics, and Jordan Peterson in the title and got so excited. Can’t wait to hear this convo!

The colourful spectrums dancing across the scene with Brian’s segment were an auspicious touch of seemingly random grace & beauty. Somebody out/up/down/in there loves what took place. Great guests with different experiences. Very insightful conversations.

Please do the Paul Stamments interview!! That would be excellent! Thank you for all your work!

Interviewing Paul Stamets would be an awesome discussion

it seems that Peterson's theme with his guest, is trying to learn about something greater that Jordan is wondering himself. Might i suggest Jordan adding a summary section at the end of each one of these that brings together the strongest take aways.

Great video, great interview. It is interesting to me, the psychedelic aspect of enlightenment. I had this experience a couple of years ago without the use of any drug. It was quite spontaneous. I was not seeking it. The most I can say is that it appears to have happened to me due to some deep personal emotional pain I was going through. It was as though God lifted me up out of my pain and showed me my true self. I can say that it was a paradigm shift for me that was immediate. From that point on I no longer fear death, mine or anyone's. I can see that I am not my body, my mind, or my circumstance. And that I can see how what I think is 'me' is largely a persona that the world and my mind has created, but that this is not my true nature. I can touch my true nature now, and I can commune with God, because I know that he lifted me up that night and I know he is with me always. I know that probably sounds a bit strange. Similar to what folks trying psychedelics are reporting. It was the most significant event of my life, aside from living each day. No drugs involved. But I don't know that I could point anyone down that path. It seems like grace to me, that I was blessed with the experience.

Feels so great seeing this man's energy and health back 🥰

‘When you get to the end of the journey you find yourself looking back’. Gave me goosebumps 🥶

Hey internet Dad/Professor Peterson, just felt like telling you that I love you and hope you and your family are doing well. I haven't been able to watch your videos as much recently since I've been busy but still thinking of you. All the best.

Never at University (with one or two possible exceptions) have i listened to such deep and intelligent conversation. It is so fluent that you nearly forgets how profound and complicated the subjects are.

‘’I think the red book came out of that’’ JBP : wtf ?

Dr. Ruck: "I think of it as a journey to discover who you are. And when you go on this journey, it gets dangerous, you feel that maybe you should turn back, but just up ahead it looks as though it might even be more interesting up there and so you go further and further and further. And when you get to the end of the journey, what you find is yourself looking back." YEEESSSSSSSSS. MIC DROP MOMENT. This man knows very well what he's talking about.

I have been learning about psychedelics for over 30 years it has kept me free in this journey of life. So blessed feeling so thankful for my belief in nature. Nurture yourself and you will be nurtured .!

I love that psychedelics are getting the attention they deserve.

Prof. Peterson ,you sir , are a true GIFT to man kind!!! We all are forever in your debt! THANK YOU

The preview had me rolling on the floor XD

I just ordered Brian's book. It will be here tomorrow. There is so much I could say about this. I came of age in 1970. We did LSD in high school. A few years later, still in the 1970s we did mushrooms. I remember a time when we were going into a science fiction movie. We took the mushrooms in the parking lot. I don't remember the film. I remember taking the mushrooms, and remember that the experience was rather strange. I had a friend who was over 10 years older and grew up in Berkley. He and his wife did many drugs at the time. When I met him they had gotten into meditation and did not do drugs ro drink. One of my professors at university in the early 1970s talked about this. He said that when they first did LSD it was an almost religious experience and very controlled. One, or a few would do it and there would be others who were there to "support" them, if they needed it. He knew things were falling apart when people we sitting around bored and decided to do it just to have something to do. It had no significance and the outcomes were often very bad.

Well, that was just about the best conversation I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I'm shook to the core!

I really appreciate psychedelics being spoken about in such a sophisticated manner. There are strange things afoot.

This is why I Love Dr Peterson! He's unafraid to confront conventional beliefs and thought in order to positively change the paradigm for the benefit of us all!

Jung's visions precipitating his work on the Red Book began in the autumn of 1913, ostensibly anticipating the outbreak of World War 1. His work on the Red Book was set aside in 1930. Jung's known trip to Taos was in January of 1925 as a sojourn following a trip to the Eastern United States in late 1924. He delivered a series of seminars at the Psychology Club in Zurich this same winter, and in one of these seminars in March 1925 described active imagination for the first time. It is inconceivable that Jung spent an undocumented year in Taos prior to 1913. The idea that The Red Book emerged from Jung's use of psychedelics in Taos is implausible.

This was one of the most interesting conversations on the podcast. I watched it when it first came out but only just now got round to reading Brian's book. It's a real tour de force, one of the most engaging and interesting books I've ever read. Thanks so much for hosting Brian and introducing me to his work!

You can see Jordan getting shaper as these videos have progressed. It's so good to see. We love you man, and have missed your presence.

This, THIS, is THE interview I've been waiting for since first watching Brian on Rogan and immediately getting and reading his remarkable book. I intend to savor it.

I love Meister Eckhart's literary works! I studied this man in the Occult and my God, he has clearly seen some s***. Either he took a mushroom and never told anyone or he was born a mystic. He was way ahead of his time with his thoughts, I'm really glad he's being discussed in academia today.

Excellent. I personally had a profound mystical experience this year that was not externally chemically induced. I’m still in the process of assimilation. It was probably the most fundamentally important time of my life and I carry it with me every since. Thank you for all your talks .it’s great to hear intelligent and sober conversation about difficult subjects.

Man you have been so sharp lately! And this conversation was in fact reasonable. We have been at the surface of being.

Thank you for existing Mr Jordan Peterson. :) you’re the only person I can listen to endlessly. You never cease to question, and your search for the truth comes with humility and such grace, it really is most authentic.

This is the way of the future. These kinds of conversations, being available and easily accessible to anyone with the inclination to listen, absorb and apply these invaluable lessons to their lives, is what society is so desperately yearning for. There is no adequate form of gratitude to appropriately recognize the significance of what you are making and providing to the public here, Dr. Peterson. Thank you nonetheless. Thank you for saving mine and what must be countless others’ lives with your diligent commitment to the truth.

I been a phyconaut for 30 years. I've done finger prints and Dmt. Ive mixed all manor of drugs. The most meaningful moment of my life was the moment my son entered the world. All my conversations with god had little importance when stacked up next to his most important gift.

Tired of people citing The New York Times as if credibility is one of its values.

I love hearing Terence’s name come out of respectable people’s mouths.

The sheer difference between my UT "professor" Owens cautiously introducing Gender Studies and Critical Race Theory into a Psychology course and the confidence of Jordan Peterson lecturing on stoic values such as logic, reason and what would be considered more traditional or conservative morals is like night and day. The fact that Dr. Peterson covers these topics much like Socrates did in Greece for free and how Owens charged much like the zealots speaks volumes of how if you love what you do, you would do it for free if you had to. THAT'S passion.

This is a most wonderful gift to have been freely given...I cannot say "Thank You" enough for the understanding I now have. Thank you Dr J.B. Peterson for the support you are to myself and everyone finding peace and ease from sharing your video's...

This video currently states ‘posted 11 seconds ago’ and it already has a dislike. Some people must literally sub with notifications on JUST to hate on this man’s videos. What a sad way to live your life.

Great interview - after I forced myself to listen past the very first blurb! Prof. Ruck’s assertion that Jung was in Taos for a year experimenting with hallucinogens has zero evidence to support it. Plus his assertion that he thinks that Jung’s Red Book came out of his supposed experiments with hallucinogens in Taos is demonstrably false with just knowing a little bit of history. Jung’s process with the Red Book began around 1915. Jung was in Taos in 1925. Jung’s visions that inspired the RB came pre- WWI and, because Jung was, as a psychiatrist, so familiar with the visions of his psychotic patients, he believed that these visions indicated he might be “doing a schizophrenia.” They had nothing to do with hallucinogens but when WWI broke out Jung said that nobody was happier than him for now he knew that these apocalyptic visions were related to the outbreak of war in Europe and not personal to him. Nathanael Chawkin’s comment, a quote from Jung’s letter to Victor White, clearly states Jung’s attitude towards psychedelics. The idea that Jung’s Red Book came out of his use of hallucinogens is just totally false, and the fact that Prof. Ruck states this assertion with such apparent confidence made me wonder if he does the same thing in his speculations about Eleusis. The unconscious psyche, and its symbolism of death and rebirth, is experienceable in many different ways, for example dreams and spontaneous fantasies, and the implication that psychedelics are the only “way in” is perhaps a symptom of how far our culture has gotten from the mythopoetic symbolism of the archetypal dimension of the mind.

What a great video. Among many other wonderful aspects of these discussions, the deep respect Jordon shows to Dr Ruck is both beautiful and telling. As hyperbolic as it sounds, the world is lucky Brian is taking on some of Ruck's ideas and moving them into the 21st century. Thank you all, we are blessed to have you with us.

Consciousness cannot be explored without a free and open discussion, there is too much that we do not know to ignore the obvious curiosities we have about our origin and our being. This means many controversial topics must be explored personally and objectively, nothing can be off the table. These are conversations I’ve been waiting for all my life, thank you JBP. And yes please do find a slot for Paul Stamets. This would be amazing

I don’t know that you will read this; but you have had a profound, dramatic and positive influence on the rest of my life. To find truth in this world is daunting and I know you will never lie. YOU are a good man. If heaven really exists, I hope to meet you there one day. Please don’t stop and let me encourage you to keep going. You make a difference in this world. Not all of us can say that.

Professor Peterson… I just want to thank you for everything you have done for this planet. I pray you forever go down in history with the honor & respect you sooo deeply deserve. I want to thank you for not giving up on yourself… seeing you push through the way you do really helps me greatly. I’m not talking about anything you say or do per say right now, I’m thanking you for showing up for your life everyday even through it doesn’t seem like you should bother, you still get up & go on ♥️ thank you for showing me what walking through the flames looks like. God bless you and those you love. In Jesus name I pray protection over you and all you love and all who you affect ♥️ amen 🙏

Wonderful and quite likely highly important discussion. Thank you to all involved - didn’t want it to finish!

thank you for doing what you do Dr. Peterson!

JP thriving in the days of 'just getting by'

I truly lack the education and experience to fully appreciate what I just witnessed. Nonetheless, something significant went on in this conversation and I feel grateful to have been able to sit in on it. Thank you.

At 22 and im 59 now, I had a profound experience, I had a contraception that was called the loop, a small device attached to the tubes to stop pregnancy, I had developed a growth around them and had a procedure to remove it and scrape the growth. The drs replaced the loop and back in the ward I remember vividly the feeling I was dying, I was not scared, I thought of my children and soon relaxed knowing they were with my mother. I felt extremely relaxed I felt myself slipping into death it was the most amazing feeling I had never felt so good, a nurse came over and took my blood pressure that had dropped dramatically, soon I was surrounded by medical staff and the device was removed, I started to come back though the experience of that feeling has never left me, I am living with cancer and I am not scared of death infact I ache for it many days, pain will take you there the longing of no more pain is what takes me back to the day I faced death and wanting to embrace it. I became very suicidal around March of 2020 it was 10 months after my operation to remove my kidney, I had 5 tumours on my remaining kidney, if not for the dr I see now and prescribed pain medication I think I may have ended this thing we call life. You have made me want to experiment with psychedelics to see if I can go back to what I expirienced in 1984, I have found this to be a most interesting talk, thank you

What an interesting discussion, thank you so much for making these discussions available

Thank you for this incredible conversation. I enjoyed all three of you. I am grateful for the time that you spent, and that I was fortunate enough to listen to.

I've been shitting myself thinking about this for years and finally someone smart is connecting the dots for us thank you

dr.peterson is amazingly articulate and profound. He's my freakin' role model

Big thanks to Jordan that he covers such interesting topics! ❤️❤️

Thank you dr. Peterson for your work! It's an honor and joy to be able to listen to discussions as that one. I would only plead to you to give Carlo Collodi his due as the true author of the Pinocchio's story, not Disney. They have indeed done excellent job in turning his book into a movie, though it cannot easily be said for all books that had have been used as a source for their films.

An utterly fascinating conversation! Thank you so much to Jordan, the guests and the producers of the video - I hope many many more people get the benefit of learning from this discussion.

“If you die before you die you won’t die when you die” that’s profound 🧐

Fantastic conversation, deeply thought provoking and thoroughly engaging!

An extraordinary and eye opening journey through the distant past! Brian’s book is a refreshing view of the early formulation of Christianity and Pagan beliefs!

Time for our daily dose of mind-expanding listening! Grateful for the (free) opportunity!

"We go out to the edge of the world to gather wisdom but we are not able to bring it back" literally the experience of psychedelics

Wow...the collective intellect, curiosity, and courage of these three men is hard to fully grok. What a great cocktail party invite list.

Really enjoyed the conversation with Ruck. Jordan, I can see you are really getting close to figuring out the root cause of what is fundamentally wrong with Western culture and more largely the modern age. We’ve become too rational, leaving out any mystical notions or spiritual dimension to existence, since the modern age only believes in what is observable. Modern psychiatry as well as science is rooted in a dogmatic Darwinian, Einsteinian, Freudian materialist atheism which has caused mental illness. We must return now to paganism and classical mythology to put the spirituality of man into proper perspective. Forget Christianity altogether as an authentic religion. It is the product of human weakness but has elements of classical mythology that must be studied in the context of what we have come to understand today.

You're absolutely brilliant, Dr. Peterson, and so is your podcast! Fascinating guests and conversations! What an interesting man Carl Ruck is, could've listened to several hours of your conversation with him!

Amazing opening! Clicked immediately after seeing Brian's name. His audio book version of his book is amazing. Incredibly gifted with language!

Prof. Carl Ruck is my new Hero :) Why was/is he virtually unkown in the canon of Psychedelics? Dude is AMazing!!! Thank you for bringing these guys to us, super informative, really, enlightening. Thank you.

One of Jordan Peterson’s explanation and significance of Christ “being when narrative meets the objective/real” is highlighted so much in The Immortality Key. This book just adds to the deeper and greater meanings within humanity, it definitely extends upon the significance of the figure of Jesus.

Trippy or not. Carl looks like an older Jordan talking to his younger self.

43:50 demonstrates his elusive lure to the real unknown. His journey may well be encapsulated in Terence McKenna theory. Hopeful to see Peterson transcend normative expectation as a clinical phycologist which represents a primitive scope of the human struggle. I have the utmost hope and wishes that Peterson achieves an advancement to Terence's work.

"He didn't figure out w pen & paper, the relationship of geometric form; He saw it, and he saw it while he was in a cave." ~ Prof. Carl Ruck "But the moment when you bring Consciousness into your unconscious reality, it's an extremely orgasmic pleasant feeling." ~ Prof. Carl Ruck Just AWESOME!!! *I love that there are litte rainbows swirling around Prof Ruck

Its really a shame that we dont get a JP and Terence McKenna conversation.

Part of me believes psilocybin helped JP get over his illness and overcome the mental block, and opened the door to these discussions. I could be wrong but it's an interesting thought

"There has always been an inner core of people who know exactly what it all means" Carl right around 1:14:00 -15. Yeah he is spot on. From my own humble and personal experience studying a minor in esoteric and occult traditions, this is exactly the same take away I have had from a number of the courses. These traditions disappear into the endless abyss of history, and there are distinct threads of the ancient mysteries which lead right up till the present historical moment. We certain discusses Carl Jung, and the sort of people who were his predecessors; psychiatry itself had its genesis from people studying the ancient mysteries. Too bad they don't fly the flag now or who knows how much more effective the field of Psychology would be. Well maybe that is changing. And I hope so because Psychology is my major at school haha. Also thanks to JP for inspiring me to go to school again.

I did lsd before mushrooms and that was in mid seventies.I wanted to mention I was raised catholic and not really devot with the hippies a free love culture,but once got way too high could of been considered a bad trip but just lost in mind didn’t know who I was where I was and when I was and got scared and I remembered prayed to Jesus Christ to bring me down and I practically straightened up immediately and it sure strengthened my faith . I could say it could be a born again experience I believe in Jesus Christ to this day Amen

43:30 STAMETS X PETERSON !!! Please Jordan make it happen. This would be unreal!

Every time I watch one of JP's videos, I'm enlightened and impressed with his thinking. We need more of Jordan Peterson in this world!

This series is better than my whole college studies about my personal questions.

this is a transcendent podcast entry. excellent work all three of you.

"Its quite the trip" well played mr peterson.
