    Lightbulb A Zen Master talks about Jordan Peterson & 'The Shadow'

    A Zen Master talks about Jordan Peterson & The Shadow



    Doshin Nelson Roshi describes himself as poet, troublemaker, and teacher – a Zen Master of no rank. He is the head abbot of Integral Zen - an expert in both the tradition of Zen and the Integral philosophy of Ken Wilber. In this discussion with David Fuller of Rebel Wisdom, they explore the cultural phenomenon of Jordan Peterson and what his runaway success says about the intense times we are living in - and try to identify the cultural forces moving below the surface of the turbulence.

    I love the philosophical depth of Zen Buddhism (and Jung! mentioned in the video), and I'm glad that Jordan Peterson is waking normal people up to a lot of things.

    Since we are taking the opportunity to post some things critical of Peterson, I'll add this:

    Quote Been doing some serious digging, I can prove all of this: Peterson worked for the United Nations for three years and has ties to some serious globalist think tanks, specifically George Soros' INET (Institute for New Economic Thinking), and CIGI (Centre for International Governance Innovation). He was a UN adviser to Jim Balsillie (ex-CEO of RIM/Blackberry), who was working on a UN panel called 'The United Nations Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability'. This UN panel produced a document that is essentially a Marxist NWO blueprint, and this document was later built upon and referenced by a UN panel that John Podesta sat on called 'The United Nations High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons On the Post-2015 Development Agenda'. Both of these panels laid the groundwork for the 'United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development'.

    Jim Balsillie is the founder of CIGI and co-founded INET with George Soros. CIGI is in fact partnered with and receives funding from INET, as well as from the Clinton Foundation. CIGI is a major Marxist globalist NWO think tank, involved with the G20, and it even appears to have some sort of ties to the CIA. Balsillie had two additional UN advisers (Paul Jenkins, Simon Zadek) and a UN "sherpa" (David Runnalls) in addition to Peterson while working at the UN, and all three of them were from CIGI.

    Now listen to this, the founder of the 'Intellectual Dark Web' is none other than Eric Weinstein, and he's listed as an official "expert" at INET. So not only is Peterson tied to INET through Balsillie, this 'Intellectual Dark Web' garbage he's a part of is the spawn of a Soros INET think tank expert.

    Here is where things start to get really weird. Last year when Peterson testified at the Bill C-16 senate hearing, he had a brief debate with a senator named Ratna Omidvar, a woman who was arguing in favor of Bill C-16. It just so turns out that Ratna Omidvar is involved with CIGI and another globalist enterprise of Jim Balsillie's called 'Balsillie School of International Affairs'. Omidvar is a hardcore Marxist who runs something called the 'Maytree Foundation'.

    A Jewish psychologist by the name of Norman Doidge, a personal colleague of Peterson's who he's sometimes given talks with, wrote the foreword to Peterson's new book '12 Rules for Life'. He too is involved with CIGI, and just as recently as February of this year did an interview in The Globe and Mail with Jim Balsillie (about smart phone addiction). In that very foreword, Doidge wrote that a Jewish TV producer named Wodek Szemberg who was "always on the lookout for potential public intellectuals" met Peterson in 2004. Szemberg worked at TV Ontario for a man named Steve Paikin producing a show called 'The Agenda' which has more than once been involved with CIGI, including once in 2009 when CIGI hosted the show.

    Are you beginning to see the bigger picture? Peterson is deeply involved with powerful globalist oligarchs, Marxsits, and Jews, while pretending to be against the very plans that those same people and their think tanks and foundations are working towards. Peterson has sort of tried to minimize his work done for the UN by stating that he rewrote the document they produced to "remove the ideological clap trap", but the document is nevertheless a Marxist globalist NWO artifact. In reality, Peterson proudly lists working for the UN with Jim Balsillie under his credentials, and his colleagues and network to this day are directly tied to Jim Balsillie's and George Soros' globalist think tanks.

    I'm still working to flesh out more of the details, but Peterson's academic pedigree without a doubt goes straight back to MKUltra and the CIA. Peterson did his post-doc under a man named Maurice Dongier. Dongier obtained his degree in psychiatry in 1954 at McGill University, training at the Allan Memorial Institute. The Allan Memorial Institute was founded and directed by Donald Ewen Cameron, who was contracted by the CIA to conduct MKUltra mind control experiments there between the years 1957 and 1964. After completing his post-doc, Peterson then went on to teach at Harvard for five years, taking up Timothy Leary's old position.

    Peterson also has ties to hardcore Zionist organizations. Last year, Peterson was a keynote speaker with Ezra Levant at an event put on by 'Canadians for Balfour 100' where he gave a speech about how wonderful Jews are and how everyone is envious of Israel. This organization has direct ties to B'Nai Brith and a host of other Canadian and international Zionist organizations.

    And then this Anon gives his sources in the post that immediately follows, which is very lengthy and full of links, and I won't post that here, though it's on the link.


    So...

    TL;DR: Jordan Peterson is connected to a bunch of Soros- and Podesta-affiliated UN agendas and appears to be controlled opposition, or a gatekeeper, if you will.

    He will take us so far, but then he becomes another enemy. Very appropriate to Zen Buddhist philosophy actually. "If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha." -- Famous Zen koan.

    Nothing seems to surprise us anymore, does it!

    I'm coming to the conclusion that too many people run around trying to find someone to "follow"; thinking somebody else has the "answers" for them!

    When all the time, we just need to slow down & recognize that each of us has our own "answers" deep within ourselves!

    I'm re-posting the video of the OP, because I think it's a real gem.

    It's a pity that a smear campaign against Jordan Peterson, mentioned in Post #4, has taken away the appetite, probably because there are some Cultural-Marxist forces that want to promote post-modernity and polarization around cultural groups.

    Quote Doshin Nelson Roshi describes himself as poet, troublemaker, and teacher – a Zen Master of no rank. He is the head abbot of Integral Zen - an expert in both the tradition of Zen and the Integral philosophy of Ken Wilber.

    In this discussion with David Fuller of Rebel Wisdom, they explore the cultural phenomenon of Jordan Peterson and what his runaway success says about the intense times we are living in - and try to identify the cultural forces moving below the surface of the turbulence.


    Among other things this deals with the culture war of post modernity, the feel good love-and-light bull**** and the difficult digging in the dirt.

    At the end the koan has been answered... “Go and listen to the sound of one hand clapping”,
