That's Jung, not Peterson. Peterson has used it mainly to illustrate the power of ideology. Jung's statement is much broader and not antithetical to Kazantzakis'. It's the same phenomenon viewed from opposite sides of the spectrum.

What's the best place to begin with Kazantzakis? Will read Wikipedia but don't know anything about him.

Salvatores Dei for a concrete and powerful distillation of his philosophy. Christ Recrucified or Zorba the Greek for his literature.
