Yeah, that it's the operating system of the human mind. He believes the mind is a myth generator and that religion and mythology is just the operating system of the mind. He's got a book about this big called Maps of Meaning that's the biggest convoluted mess you've ever seen in your life. And I actually read it.

But that book in the late 90s, his course called Maps of Meaning was the most popular undergraduate course at Harvard. That's how he became famous. Oh, wow. So this was his grand thesis. He was having mystical experience. He was at McGill, I think. And he claims to be having these apocalyptic visions. The world's going to end. And he said, I have to stop it.

And so he came up with this book, which he believed was going to guide humanity into the right way so that we wouldn't kill ourselves or something. It's quite strange, the book. You really only just read the intro.

No, he's really just following Carl Jung, and what he's saying is that the mind has to be oriented towards a fixed point, and that there's a mystery surrounding our lives, and that God is just kind of a fixed point, right? Okay. And that it orients society or the individual towards something.

right and so you know you his stuff has just rehashed carl jung and jung's if you read one of his later he wrote a book after world war ii called the undiscovered self like if you don't want to get into carl jung and wait because he's got so much stuff yeah this little book called the undiscovered self yeah and if you read it you'll understand all of the psychedelic literature okay uh because that's pretty much where all the ideas come from and there's an article in it called religion

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Like in that book, one of the, I'd say the key quote in the little Jung book is he said, you can take away man's gods only to give him others in return. And the main point of the book is once you take away God and you deconstruct that and nobody believes in religion, they're going to replace it with a human figure. And that figure, he said, was Hitler and other dictators.

So he said the patterns of history will keep repeating themselves until you restore religion to its original integrity. And he believed you couldn't. restore the original integrity by reaching back into these ancient mystery cults and reviving them. And that this would restore Christianity because that's the real roots of Christianity.
