I'm in the dressing room at the Palace Theatre in Louisville, Kentucky on June 14th

I thought I'd read you an excerpt from maps of meaning the architecture of belief which is a book I published

It's been the basis of my YouTube lectures and I would say also

Twelve rules for life a lot of the ideas and twelve rules for life were first worked out with maps of meaning

I just recorded an audio version of the book was released two days ago

It's available from Penguin Books on audible. I'll put the links in the description of the video

I'm hoping that the audio version with its

Careful intonation will be easier to understand maps of meaning is a rather difficult book

in any case I'm going to read you an excerpt from it today and

That'll serve as a bit of an introduction to the book

I'll make some more excerpts over the next coming weeks I think as well, but we'll start with this one. I

Jeffrey Burton Russell's mephistopheles the devil in the modern world when I came across his discussion of

Russell discusses Ivan's argument for atheism, which is one of the most powerful ever mounted

Ivan is one of the brothers in The Brothers Karamazov

Ivan's examples of evil all taken from the daily newspapers of 1876 are unforgettable

The nobleman who orders his hounds to tear the peasant boy to pieces in front of his mother

The man who whips his struggling horse on its gentle eyes

The parents who locked their tiny daughter all night in the freezing privy while she knocks on the walls pleading for mercy

The Turk who entertains a baby with a shiny pistol before blowing its brains out

Ivan knows that such horrors of kur daily and can be multiplied without end

I took the case of children Ivan explains to make case clearer

Of the other tears with which the earth is soaked. I will say nothing

the relation of evil to God has in the century of Auschwitz and Hiroshima once again become center of

Such a God would not permit evil to exist

But we observe that evil exists. Therefore. God does not exist

Variations on this theme are nearly infinite

The problem is not only abstract and philosophical. Of course. It is also personal and immediate

Believers tend to forget that their God takes away everything that one cares about possessions comforts success

Decent religion must face this question squarely and no answer is credible that cannot be given in the face of dying children

It seems to me that we use the horrors of the world to justify our own inadequacies

We make the presumption that human vulnerability is a sufficient cause of human cruelty

we blame God and God's creation for twisting and perverting our souls and claim all the time to be innocent victims of

You can do it. There is something in you that is strong enough to do it and

you don't use the terrible vulnerability of children as an excuse for the rejection of existence and the perpetration of

When I wrote maps of meaning I did not have much experience as a clinical psychologist

Two of my patients however stayed in my mind

She looked 50 she reminded me of a medieval peasant

Of my conception of a medieval peasant. She was dirty clothes hair teeth

dirty with the kind of Filth that takes months to develop

She approached anyone who she thought was superior in status to her, which was virtually everyone hunched over

With her eyes shaded by her hands both hands as if she could not tolerate the light emanating from her target

She had been in behavioral treatment in a Montreal

Hospital before as an outpatient and was in fact a sight known to the permanent staff at the clinic

Others had tried to help her overcome her unfortunate manner of self presentation which made people on the streets shy away from her

Made them regard her as crazy and unpredictable

She could learn to stand or sit up temporarily with eyes on garden

But she reverted to her old habits as soon as she left the clinic

She may have been intellectually impaired in consequence of some biological fault

It was difficult to tell because her environment was so appalling. It may have caused her ignorant

She lived with her mother whose character. I knew nothing about and with an elderly desperately ill bedridden aunt

Psychologically and physically who was always muddling her simple mind with tirades about the devil and the worship of Satan

She had nothing going for her. No beauty. No intelligence. No loving family. No skills

She didn't come to therapy to resolve her problems

However, nor to unburden her soul nor to describe her mistreatment and victimization at the hands of others

Came because she wanted to do something for someone who was worse off than her

Of the clinic where I was interning was associated with a large

psychiatric hospital all of the patients that still remained after the shift to community CAIR in the aftermath of the 60s were so

incapacitated that they could not survive on the streets

she had done some volunteer work of some limited type in that hospital and

Decided if she could maybe befriend a patient take him or her outside for a walk. I

Think she got this idea because she had a dog which he walked regularly and what she liked to take care of

All she wanted from me was help arranging this helped finding someone who she could take outside

Help finding someone in the hospital bureaucracy who would allow this to happen. I

Was not very successful in aiding her, but she didn't seem to hold that against me

it is said that one piece of evidence that runs contrary to a theory is sufficient to disprove that theory of

Course people do not think this way and perhaps should not in

General a theory is too useful to give up easily

Too difficult to regenerate and the evidence against should be consistent and believable before it is accepted

but the existence of this woman made me think she

Was destined for a psychopathological end from the viewpoint of biological and environmental determinism

And maybe she beat her dog sometimes and was rude to her sick aunt

Maybe I never saw her vindictive or unpleasant even when her simple wishes were thwarted

I don't want to say that she was a saint because I didn't know her well enough to tell
