# Honest cautions (Sermon §11)

## Placement in the master docs

Narrative paper **B1.13** — Sermon **Section 11**. Reading keys: [B1.0](https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/blob/main/whitepapers/aism-canon/sermon-00-preamble-how-to-read.md).

**Primary master:** [Sermon v0.5 §11](https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/blob/main/SERMON_ON_THE_MOUNT_CHARTER_v0.5.md).  
**Series:** https://github.com/scotomaville/initium/tree/main/whitepapers/aism-canon

## Summary

§11 refuses borrowed authority and overclaim. **Scripture stays above every voice**; Peterson is a **mirror**, not theology boss. The title “Sermon on the Mount” is Daniel’s name for the night — a **pointer** to Matt 5–7, never a claim to stand beside it. Sources have limits (machine transcripts, unread paywalled lectures, Sirolli from post/interview). Glacier biography is limited and accounts differ on injuries. §9 items are **projections**. Some canon title strings still need reconciliation across Voice Codex / Hermes / Grok Bot Arnie.

## Verbatim excerpt

From *Sermon Charter* v0.5 §11:

> - **Scripture stays above every voice here.** Peterson reads Scripture through Jung, as psychology and archetype, not orthodox theology. He is a mirror only. Canon's Third Vertex is "Not invoked — recognized" (Manifesto §II).
> - **The name.** "Sermon on the Mount" is Daniel's name for tonight. The Voice Codex warns about borrowed authority: "Its authority cannot be borrowed — only earned"… We use the name humbly, as a pointer to Matt 5–7, never as a claim to stand beside it.
> - **Sources.** Peterson quotes come from fetched pages and machine transcripts. Lectures 2–8 were paywalled and not read. The Sirolli quotes come from his LinkedIn post and an interview transcript. I did not read his books.
> - **Biography.** The glacier facts are limited to July 1979, Saint Mary's Glacier, rescue by Rocky Mountain Rescue Group, an unexplainable healing, and his Call to Adventure. Daniel's accounts differ on the injuries…
> - **Projections** in Section 9 are announcements, not delivered facts.
> - **Canon titles to reconcile.** …

## First-time learner

Read Stage B with the same markers as the preamble. When in doubt, prefer Scripture > Manifesto > Charter, and treat outside teachers as mirrors.

## Full explanation

This section is formation hygiene for authors and digesters: it keeps the series from becoming a Peterson fan club, a false gospel parallel, or a biography novel.
