Adam and Dylan discuss The Twelfth Station, a poem that first appeared in Issue I of samfiftyfour in September 2020. Written by Maria Harkin of Belfast, this poem deals with some heavy themes including religion and suicide. Read the full poem here.
In this episode, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson explores the complex nature of identity, which he argues is not merely a conscious choice but deeply intertwined with sacred and communal elements. He critiques the politicization of identity and emphasizes the importance of mentorship, communication, and moral frameworks in shaping personal and societal identities. Peterson illustrates his points through literary examples, including Peter Pan, emphasizing that maturity and responsibility are essential for individual and societal stability. Ultimately, he suggests that true identity requires confronting profound challenges, leading to transformation and a deeper understanding of oneself in the context of the divine.
Identity is a profound and multilayered construct influenced by divine elements and how we communicate. Our conscious expressions and written words reflect deeper truths about our nature and existence.
The interplay between maturity, responsibility, and sacrifice is essential for individual development and societal stability. By committing to higher duties, individuals can contribute to a reliable social order and inspire those around them.
