An Addendum to "This Will All End When You Comply"

11/14/2021

In my previous post I noted that those who comply with the ongoing birdemic peck agenda in the hope that their compliance will somehow help bring the whole sorry affair to an end are being taken in by what basically amounts to a gross deception of the "Captain Obvious" variety. 

Freely and willingly succumbing to demonic pressure out of some hope that compliance will bring an end to it all extends far beyond the realm of bad decision-making and penetrates rather deeply into the realm of zero spiritual discernment of evil.

Case in point, Jordan Peterson. Now, here's a man who has intensely studied "the psychology" of totalitarianism and claims to be somewhat of an expert on tyranny and oppressive regimes. Yet this same man freely and willingly pecked himself in the hope that doing so would put him on the "right" side of birdemic and, presumably, on the right side of history. 

The video below features Peterson coming to the startling realization that he has been duped. His compliance with the peck agenda and the global diktat of "none are safe until all are safe" did nothing to end the birdemic or alleviate the demonic pressure.

Contrary to his high hopes, the global totalitarians simply refuse to leave him alone even though he has been pecked. Even worse, he appears to (kind of) understand that his decision has only made things worse and that the demonic pressure will rapidly expand into other Litmus Test issues like climate change.

And to think I once I believed this man knew his stuff and had some good ideas! Every time I am reminded of that I feel like banging my head against a wall! 

Anyway, my main point here is not to disparage (though I don't mind disparaging), but rather to hold Peterson up as an example of the obvious limits of despiritualized thinking:

By choosing to cut itself from all communications with the Divine, this mode of consciousness has basically closed off all possibilities for continued spiritual growth and development.


Secondly, by closing off all possibilities for continued spiritual growth and development, people locked into a despiritualized mode of consciousness have rendered themselves incapable of spiritual learning. Moreover, they have rendered themselves incapable of real world thinking and learning.

Thirdly, by rendering themselves incapable of spiritual learning, people a in despiritualized mode of consciousness have lost all sense of the true purpose and meaning of mortal life. 

Fourthly, since they have lost all sense of the true purpose and meaning of mortal life, they have forfeited the spiritual resources needed to make the right choices.

And finally, since they have become utterly incapable of making the right choices, people in a despiritualized mode of consciousness inevitably make the wrong choices, but are utterly incapable of learning anything of meaning or value from the wrong choices they make for the simple reason that the very concept of wrong choice utterly eludes them. 


And for all intents and purposes, this is a dead end.

Peterson appears to understand he has made a wrong choice. He admits his stupidity, but continues to lay the blame wholly on the totalitarians who have refused to hold up their end of the deal.

​Look, we are in a spiritual war. People who do not recognize the primacy of the spiritual and lack the spiritualized consciousness needed to understand evil and make right choices will not make it very far, neither in this life nor in life everlasting.

Moreover, they will have learned nothing of real value in the process.

Don't be a Peterson. 

And as for Peterson - what's it going to take for the penny to finally drop?

Language warning - The doctor uses some spicy words in the video.

It's rather amusing to observe the expressions of confusion, frustration and rage on the part of otherwise intelligent people who are slowly beginning to grasp the actual dimensions of the problem and the total inadequacy and irrelevance of their existing mental framework, 20 months into the birdemic. A bit like the famous moment in Jaws when a stunned Roy Scheider, having glimpsed the shark for the first time, mumbles "You're gonna need a bigger boat..."

Of course, as you point out, Peterson does not seem to accept any responsibility for his complicity in the current state of affairs, so maybe he is not even that far along.

@ Hari - The part where he mentions the pecking of children is quite telling. He pauses, looks off to the side, and then comes out and refers to it as "reprehensible." The word "evil" is practically dripping off his tongue, but he can't bring himself to say it.

I had pretty much forgotten about old JP! - although not so long ago I felt compelled to write some blog posts about him; such was the scale of the 'phenomenon'.

https://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/search?q=peterson

If JP was halfway serious about his own inner development, he would have learned by now that you cannot simultaneously make a spectacle of yourself, and a (lavish) living, from agonizing in public about the vicissitudes of your various stages of angsts. The one precludes the other.

Either he shuts up and gets on with being a Christian (which step is, after all, only the beginning of things - but will lose him most of his paying admirers); or else he will keep up this professional dancing display, capering round and round the core subject matter - but never getting any closer.

But then, naturally, the fickle masses will continue to get fed up of the show, and his career will continue its downward spiral.

Not that I care either way! His limitations are, by now, so blatant and extreme that those who continue their hero-worship and hopes of being saved through him must have already decided to stay in the mainstream and follow the Establishment wherever it leads - but at a short distance and while affecting a lifestyle pose of skepticism.

@ Bruce - "I had pretty much forgotten about old JP! "

Yes, likewise. Oddly enough, I made my way to this video via a comment on you Notions blog. After I watched it, I thought it provided the perfect exclamation point to my previous post about the deception inherent in compliance.

I agree with your observations and have little to add, other than the man is a mess.

In terms of the bigger picture,JP provides a clear example of the glaring limits of thinking that is unable to accept and comes to terms with the reality of the spiritual.

What i think is compelling about Peterson's current situation is that I believe HE KNOWS his next step MUST be a conversion of his soul and mind and heart, but that he is so confined by his own mind and the framework by which he has operated to this point that he is unable or unwilling to take that leap of faith. I am still rooting for him, though. True Christianity is not an exclusive club for purists, but until he is willing to take that next step in earnest, he is still just another pimp pushing his goods to the addicted masses.
