  • Why the Hero Must Descend Before the World Can Be Renewed

    Why the Hero Must Descend Before the World Can Be Renewed
    Dec 15 2025

    Slide Presentation: In Lecture 9, we dive into the ancient mythological insight that renewal does not come from comfort, but from descent. As chaos emerges, the archetypal feminine and masculine split into their destructive and redemptive forms, threatening both individuals and societies.

    Using the Egyptian story of Horus, we explore how the hero confronts corruption, restores vision to tradition, and reunites exploration with order. Dr. Peterson then connects this pattern to the Christian crucifixion—the ultimate act of voluntary self-sacrifice—arguing that this principle lies at the heart of stable, peaceful, and abundant civilizations.
