Summary

In this episode of The Patrick Coffin Show, host Coffin critiques a recent interview between Jordan Peterson and Zeena Schreck, daughter of Anton Szandor LeVay (born Levey, 1930-1997). With direct quotes, Coffin expresses concern over the normalization of occult and satanic figures in mainstream discussions, arguing that Peterson's platforming of Schreck inadvertently lends credibility to her controversial past as a high priestess in the church of satan.

Coffin dissects the conversation, highlighting what appears to be Peterson's failure to critically engage with the spiritual dangers associated with the new tantric Buddhism, which replaced her Satanism after a leadership stint in the Sethian Liberation Movement (SLM), another occultic sect.

She has distanced herself from her previous satanic beliefs, but the Peterson interview fails to provide cautionary context regarding the influences of diabolical ideologies. Confused and suffering people like Zeena Schreck deserve the clarity of the fullness of truth and healing found uniquely in Christ. Peterson’s gnostic-Jungian biases, however, seem to prevent him from bringing an objective, biblical critique to the self-rationalizing narrative laid down by his guest.

The episode encourages listeners to approach crucial interviews like this with discernment, especially when discussing spirituality and metaphysical basics like good and evil— matters that not only impact personal perceptions of morality and faith, but of reality itself.

Covered in this episode:

The dangers of reducing a satanist monster like Anton LeVay into a mere “carnival barker” or “showman”
Evidence that his daughter Zeena Schreck is still bound in some way by evil spirits
Why Jesus Christ is the only answer to the reality of satanic influence and infiltration
What happens when true evil is banalized as a mere human construct
The effects of profound satanic initiation and neglect
Why “tantric Buddhism” is just a more benign form of satan worship
Thoughts on the dangers of the writings of Carl Gustav Jung

0:00.0	Welcome to the Patrick Coffin Show. No guest today. Just commentary on a very disturbing video that I watched between Jordan Peterson, who I counted as a friend and interviewed him four times starting in 2016, ending in 2018, February of that year.
0:18.0	That was my fourth interview with him. And we had a interesting, I think frank conversation about the difference between the historical
0:26.5	sense of scripture and the resurrection of Jesus Christ as a as a literal event as the resuscitation of a corpse who was once dead and then risen.
0:36.3	And I'll put a link to that conversation.
0:37.9	You can see how he answered my question at the end about how he would finish the sentence.
0:42.4	Right now I'm not Catholic because and I
0:46.4	think it's a good bookend between five or six years ago and today and the celebrity
0:50.7	status that he's attained and I think the confusions that have set in that may be rooted in having been
0:56.7	marinated in the thinking, very Gnostic, occultic thinking of Carl Jung for so many years as a writer as a clinical psychologist very young in his orientation
1:06.4	The interview was with zena Shrek formerly zena levay and before I launch into what I want to say about this, I want to remind folks to go to my pillow.com.

2:08.7	discount. A few weeks ago Jordan Peterson sat down with the daughter of Anton LaVay, Anton Sandor LaVay, who was the
2:17.8	founder of the Church of Satan in San Francisco. Born in 1930, he ended up dying of some kind of heart issue in his late 60s at ironically enough
2:27.5	maybe providentially enough St Mary's Hospital in Northern California. Zina was raised in the Church of Satan.
