The #1 Reason Why Jordan Peterson Is Misunderstood And What He’s Really Up To: As explained by one of his former Harvard students

His combative media antics notwithstanding, Jordan Peterson is a spiritual teacher. There. I said it.

And I’m reminded of when, years ago, I spoke to someone who’d been a student of Joseph Campbell’s at Sarah Lawrence College. He told me how the students there used to refer to Campbell as “Saint Joe.”

Those of us who’ve been lucky enough to have Jordan Peterson as our college professor echo the same sentiment. He was easily the most influential instructor I had. His teaching expanded my consciousness and profoundly shaped the direction of my life.

Now, let’s get down to brass tacks.

When Peterson talks about cleaning up your room as the starting point of any fixing up of reality you want to do and don’t go trying to fix complex social systems until you can fix up your own room, he really means it in the sense of clean up your own energy field and stop spewing toxic energy out into the collective field.

Because he does believe in the collective field of Being. And he does believe that one person’s actions have a ripple effect across the shared field of collective human consciousness.
