Aiming at Kingship, the Only Possible Way of Personality Integration [Peterson Re-Emboldened]
If I didn’t look low enough I wouldn’t have any practical worth, if I wasn’t aimed at Kingship I would lose all positive motivation to lift this load.
Aiming at Kingship, the Only Possible Way of Personality Integration
[Peterson Re-Emboldened]
“[aim at] the highest good that you can and then strive to attain it, there's no more practical pathway to the kind of success that you could have if you actually knew what success was.”
—Jordan Peterson
Having in My last article stressed the absolute importance of looking low enough and taking care to tend to the ‘dirt’ or ‘specks’ that make up Your chosen profession or work. I’d like to here echo and re-embolden Peterson’s claim that You should Aim at the Highest Good.
You see that I have come to recently appreciate that in My Own Life I Desire a form of Kingship. When I was younger I wanted to Be Prime Minister of Canada —so did Jordan Peterson by the way, so You can track the trajectory He took and one day the trajectory that You took and that I took. It is essentially a Vision of attaining Recognition. The Thumos’ in ancient Greek connected to Blood and being the ‘Desire for Recognition.’ I have this absolutely as I believe everyone does. But My Recognition was always Accreted (gravitated) to Be for a Leadership of My People.
It’s not that God ‘Owes’ Me a Kingship. It’s that I cannot orient Myself in Any Other Way. When I disbelieve in My Kingship I cannot function day to day. Now I have sacrificed/given-over My Idols to God’s judgment in silence. And the message I got back was that It was Ok to Aim at Kingship [yet not at Satanic ‘Master of the Universe’ bullshit].
In this I can proceed in picking up the scraps of My Life and playing in the dirt, such that I can find the smallest and lowest details of My world and work. Formulating each sentence and phrase one letter at a time. If I didn’t look low enough I wouldn’t have any practical worth, if I wasn’t aimed at Kingship I would lose all positive motivation to lift this load.
Peterson is eminently correct in his Phraseology and the Ideas He Imparts.
I urge You to find out What Your Kingship looks like. Do You want to Be a Man of Letters? A Community Leader? A Philosopher King? A Poet or Artist? A Nomad building the conduit to the future? Look for the Highest Kingship in these domains, then unashamedly pursue and tackle the lowest of quanta in worthy regards.
Towards Jesus We Labour in Truth, Amen.
