2014 Personality Lecture 03: Heroic & Shamanic Initiations (Part 01)
About this episode
The heroic or shamanic initiation is the prototypical, albeit extreme, version of human personality development. All learning comes at the cost of the sacrifice of previous structures of knowledge. Such a sacrifice is disorienting, anxiety provoking, angering, curiosity-inspiring and dangerous, in proportion to its magnitude. With luck, however, it is followed by an increase in pragmatic competence.
