yes but all perception is colored by culture
there can be masculine and feminine archetypes imprinted upon us but the way we interpret those is based on culture
Petersons’s claims are that you can only be psychologically healthy if you express those archetypes in the way that we have in the ‘traditional’ form of society, when we’ve moved past that as a species.

Jung has absolutely no leg to stand on here, he purposely and blatantly includes undefined, undefinable "mysticism" into all of his theories himself. Freud's intention of building a bulwark against occultism and mysticism is eminently based considering what it can do to someone like Jung. Jung even unironically projects this "unconscious religiosity" onto Freud when that very factor explicitly undergirds Jung's work

In short, Jung was a hack who was just salty that his teacher wouldn't tolerate his wishy washy vagueness and mysticism

Freud was just a blatant subversive kike and Jung was the cure for his evil cancerous garbage. Jung's mysticism is just intellectual honesty when faced with the real profundity of the contents of the unconscious and the mystery of consciousness. There's no other good way to approach it. Freud just had to jump to conclusions and be as subversive as he could while at it like the dirty perverted Jew that he was.

Attributing the unknown to mysticism isn't intellectual honesty, it's just a way of projecting your own bias onto a mystery and claiming you've added anything whatsoever to the discourse.
