"when you tell a joke and your mother turns it into a lesson"
Sentry going up!

ohohohohoo!
When you tell a joke and your mother turns into a lesson.
Poot dispenser here
This channel is underrated. These daily shorter clips are very valuable.
you are beautiful
Yeah I remember taking pills for depression. That's sort of like that, just better and more intellectually demanding but at the same time more intellectually stimulating.
@@MrGreenAKAguci00 Not to mention cheaper, at least from a monetary perspective, much more taxing or expensive from a responsibility standpoint. It pulls me back to the conclusions I made when I overcame my depression, that you cant leave the feedback loop that is self destructive and depressing behavior without moving the self. Its not a short coarse but the effects have been longer lasting when compared to any prescription I was ever given. Their are things that no other person can do for you.
That’s true, moreover you too are making great content. Keep up the good work.
"this channel is underrated" is becoming the most common comment I see on youtube. Which if is to be taken literally, creates kinda a paradox here.

Humour is an extremely powerful tool to make an audience more receptive to your point. That's why George Carlin was so effective and was able to make people consider things they might have otherwise dismissed out of hand. JP understands this very well.
Why I am so grateful for him.

Peterson: *reads a joke tweet Nietzsche said...
I saw that too.
I've found there is an inverse square relationship between the mundanity of the context in which JP is asked a question and the profoundness of the response. By my calculations, the universe will explode if someone ever tells him a bad fart joke...
@@simeonb3726 came here for the comments, was not disappointed!
@Al Garnier In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
Certain jokes hide certain points of view. Not all jokes are just jokes for the hell of it. As somebody from this generation, you should know that.
Jordan, this is probably gonna get lost in the comments; I must iterate that you saved me from taking my own life and I have a profound respect for you. I hope to have the chance to speak with you one day.
I can't wait to tell him thank you.
Good worl sir
Yeah Jordan works for us and has been that one person who tells us the things we needed to hear but never did.
Shikhar Srivastava love this
Yes,! keep watching and learning.
Wow! You can tell a lot about a man's character by how much truth he can take!
The tricky thing is who gets to say what’s true?
Yea that was an awesome statement. I think it's a constant battle not to turn your gaze away from the ugly truth. But, as Dr. Peterson said, it's better than the alternative.
@@lifewasgiventous1614 Dont take things at face value. DYOR and don't trust Socialists, Democrats and Communists.
@@lifewasgiventous1614 I think one of his points was we each need to honestly determine that for ourselves - that we have an inner utility designed to guide us in the proper direction. I think where people run into trouble is when they are not honest with themselves. That can become easier and easier over time until we have chosen dishonestly so often that we can convince ourselves that any action, no matter how horrible, can be justified. And, apparently, it can happen pretty fast, according to the book he mentioned about the German police going to Poland. To say Peterson is well-read is an understatement. He has relied on, over time, his own inner compass to pull out of his readings the things that seem true to him. It can take a lifetime. Until then, just stay out of prison. Johnny law and the system won't hesitate to let you know what they think is true.
@@lifewasgiventous1614 I think he is meaning how much truth you can say to yourself. It is not about truth coming from others but from the botom of your heart

I believe that Jordan Peterson has become one of the greatest thinkers of our time. Uncompromising in his own self analysis in pursuit of basic human truths that are applicable to all.
Quit impressive... a scienentist that tends to close the gap between science en the ‘religious’ truth. A bridge builder. De Daemon from socrates brought to life
freeclimb well said
I believe you haven't understand the guy either, eh
@@villiestephanov984 I understand him very well.
Or maybe the majority are so stupid that he just seems that much more intelligent... 🙄🤣
I love how he's not just regurgitating facts and things other people have learned,. he is exploring and thinking through the his ideas on stage in real time.. so his ideas are in a state of constant flux as he speaks and tries to further his hypothesis it is incredible to watch
Yeah and he also esentialy invites you to critique these ideas. He shows what he came up with but if someone else's hypothesis seems better he will consider it. It was nicely visible during the debate he had about political correctness where he started with his take on that but after Stephen Fry spoke Peterson aligned himself with Fry because it looked like his take was just more fitting. I have huge admiration for him because of that. That's leadership, he shows that his approach is one of the correct ones by actively living it out and proving that it works, even though mistakes happen on the way. Best kind of motivation if you ask me.
Yeah he really does this. I saw him live in Manchester and during the q and a he just entered a deep thought state and was talking his thoughts out loud. It was so inspired. A magical moment where you realised you were in the presence of a great thinker. Dave Rubin closed the computer, the audience went completely silent - you could hear a pin drop. He started empathising with the theoretical person he was talking about and you could hear the pain in his voice and you could see people in the audience in awe and start crying. And then he finished and there was nothing more to say and he got a massive applause at the end and Dave ended the q and a because you couldn't really follow that.
He does this as a way of sharpening his ideas and focus for his next book.
That's the magic of Dr Jordan
It really is... like watching an elite athlete do the things elite athletes do. His ability to verbalize thoughts that are deep yet penetrate all the way up to the shallow "waters" is not only a treat to watch but it is motivating. Very moving in a literal sense (mentally/spiritually).
You can tell Jordan speaks not only from his knowledge or intellect but from his heart and does so with passion.
Agreed. Anyone claiming otherwise is blind and lost in their own darkness.
Men of pure reason are necessarily men of violence, we speak of touching a mans heart, but we can do nothing to his head but hit it~~G.K Chesterton
When you think your done, Jordan reminds you you've only just started.
The higher you climb the broader your view becomes and the more you see that you do not know.... In my profession as a simple Carpenter, I used to joke," it took me 10 years to learn I knew nothing about Carpentry and another 10 to realize I really really knew nothing about Carpentry"...The more you learn, the more you realize you NEED to learn...there is no end, you can ALWAYS learn more, become better
Scott Carter as Plato said I know nothing.someof things I know nothing about I'm happy to leave like this, there is only so much you can achieve relative to the time you have left. What you have to do is walk the best path you can each day. Sometimes it means sticking your neck out. It's what makes you into a man.
The apostle Paul took a similar stance on having not yet arrived.
Definitely well said 👏
one minute you're reading a joke question, the next you are imagining yourself a Nazi guard in Auschwitz. I'm not the smartest person I'm not dumb but I didn't go to college I'm a construction worker. but the way he explains things it's easy to follow I can float on the surface and I understand the greater context of what he's talking about,. he makes it easy but I would imagine there's deeper and deeper layers that I'm not even seeing yet and it makes me want to learn "stuff" so I can dig deeper into his ideas. if you ever get lost in what he saying watch his hands it helps
Good on you for desiring to be more knowledgeable and thoughtful ... As much as "An unexamined life is not worth living." is true you have made a life worth living for yourself to be (more) true...
It doesn't matter if you didn't go to college. You're pretty smart if you're spending your leisure time listening to this kind of sruff, thinking critically about it
College is a poor indicator of wisdom
I'm 69. I've earned a living through manual labour all my life, mostly construction and farming; still doing real work every day. All that time I've been thinking. It is the great shame of the modern "Left" that they disparage this man. We have a saying down here that the Labour Party used to comprise the CREAM of the working class, and it now is comprised of the DREGS of the middle class.. That may be harsh but I suspect it's true . Never stop searching for truth.
All it takes is a spark to start a fire.. and JP is a fire starting maniac. I've seen this clip 4 or 5 times and I always come away with more understanding than the previous times watching. He invites all of us to look for that spark within us by honestly sharing/relating the truth that he has come to know (his spark) and asking us to honestly wrestle with the thoughts intellectually. The Truth is Truth from the surface down to the bottom of the abyss.
Jordan must feel like a sober guy at a party full of drunkards.
Worse... He's the only hairless ape that has risen, unshackled, off the cave floor where the rest of us lay prostrate, imprisoned and benighted. It's lonely at the top, even if you're just the only one standing erect.

The actual quote is: “The strength of a person's spirit would then be measured by how much 'truth' he could tolerate, or more precisely, to what extent he needs to have it diluted, disguised, sweetened, muted, falsified.” Which is even more profound.

Well the quote is originally from Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Beyond Good and Evil.
No is not hehehehe
F-ck off
"You cannot manifest who you are, without the thruth" - just flies out of his mouth like it was nothing. And in reality, it's a great quote.
Agreed. He says he is an exponent of free speech, he gets political and names names, yet he refuses to say anything about the persecution of Julian Assange and whistle blowers. I find this strange.
Only Peterson can read a joke tweet and profoundly find a link to Nietzsche xD
Yeah,- argument from authority - one of his go-to fallacious arguments.
@@prophetsnake you're a horrible troll. Pay the troll toll
prophetsnake How is he arguing from authority? He is more or so just making a connection to Nietzsche and drawing from one of his ideas. You are just nitpicking here.
@@prophetsnake applying your logic, noone would be able to quote anyone. Think again please.
prophetsnake you don’t seem to have a grasp on what an argument actually is. I’d love to see you define it.
I don’t agree with everything Peterson says. But no one should. I watch him because the way he speaks is like he is constantly thinking out loud and trying to organize his thoughts to speech in a careful manner. Like a direct path to his thoughts. There is a deep honesty in the way the man speaks that I think isn’t very common anymore. It’s the reason I think a lot of people are drawn to him and why he seems to do so well in debate. There isn’t anything hidden behind what he says, no sugar coated ulterior motives ever so present in discussion these days.
I think most of his conclusions are close to the mark, and it’s worth considering his ideas.
He demonstrates an authenticity most people would love to emulate but are too stuck in their fears and false beliefs to do so. Definitely, every human should strive for his level of authenticity and his ideas aren't so bad either.
If you speak from the truth and slowly that will help.

When I watched Dave Chapelle's stand-ups it occured to me that both he and Jordan Peterson talk about the same societal issues, just from different perspectives. It takes intelligence and a profound understanding of humanity and vices to deliver good humour. I would love it if JBP did a stand up.
@@nhunka44 Yes! I love Dave Chappelle too. Some people find the truth hard to take. I think that's why both Dave and JP are considered controversial figures.
@@LilySaintSin I told someone who had never heard of JP that they should look him up because he offers everyday practical wisdom. Without looking into his actual content they said "oh he's an extremist". It's a shame that rational thinking and common sense have become the counterculture.
I had decided to not try to have a son because the way the left treats young men. Mr. Peterson has made me realize that I am doing the world a disservice by not putting and amazing young man into this world. I have 2 daughters and they are beyond incredible human beings. I was worried that putting a boy into this world would be setting him up to fail just based on his mere existence I now see that I was wrong. I used to fear having a son because of the left now I want to bless this world in spite of the left. I will not apologize for giving this world a strong proud compassionate caring kind masculine man.
I have 3 sons and they have done well because they had a good father and 2 parents who loved them and raised them ourselves. I was always painfully aware of society's degradation of men and I fought constantly against it. I think the effort has paid off.
In a world of weak men, a strong man will rise above much easier.
Did you abort your sons? How exactly did you decide?
I love when Dr. Peterson psycho analyzes himself for us all to benefit.
because he wants us to do it to ourselves too
I wish I'd had a mentor like this great man when I was young.
Dave Beech you still are young 🙏🏾 there’s plenty of time to plant trees brother 🔥💪🏾👊🏾🙏🏾
He can be a mentor to anyone, any age.
Well Dave, what do you mean by "wish" and what do you mean by "young"? 'Wishing' offers nothing, and 'young' is relative. So, are these excuses for doing nothing NOW? If so, your life is lost to inaction, and waiting to die!

Mike Haines I think a good translation might be something like this: “A man is rick in proportion to the number of things he decides he does not need.” Another quote of his is this: “I make myself rich by making my wants few.” The power, the wealth, is in the not wanting the stuff and things. We’re liberating from earning the money to purchase it, and we’re liberated from the maintaining of it, storing it, insuring it, managing it, keeping it, because we don’t’ have it. :-)

"There are no great men of God; only weak, pitiful men at the hands of a great and merciful God." What we're seeing with JP is a manifestation of God's wisdom through a chosen vessel. When the world seems like it will tip over in one direction from an overwhelming amount of destructive stupidity and immorality, God declares, "Not so fast," because ultimately, the master will require an account of the stewards left in charge. JP is an indictment against the wisdom of this generation. "He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans. He catches the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them. They meet with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night. But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, And from their hand. So the poor have hope, And injustice shuts her mouth." Job 5:12-16

@@Viriyascybin ..I'm not sure if one can accurately say that they've "lost" an argument. I would consider myself as having been "persuaded" to accept the validity of my worthy opponent's arguments. There's no shame in accepting another person's viewpoint on an issue.
7:59 “a priori”. I’m Italian and I’m impressed that this expression is quoted in English by JP. Btw, for anyone wondering the meaning, it means: “relating to or derived by reasoning from self-evident propositions”. I think a good synonym in English could be: “to assume” (without empirical evidences).

Jordan Peterson is a great man. I wish he was my father figure growing up. I never knew I could truly fall in love with someone's mind, much less that of someone I've never met.
I feel the same. I really do.
I thought for most of my life I was gay and I was struggling with my sexuality for a long time. Until I realized the Truth about how I should be as a man. I am not my feelings, they are just by-products. When I realized this, it hurt me but then again that is the truth. Truth will indeed set you free but not without hurting you first.
@Dexter David if you are sexually attracted to men then you are gay, even if you dont like the fact. The truth is not about how you should be as a man, the truth is a conclusion based on facts. So now you are convincing yourself of this «truth» that you are straight, when in fact you are living a lie. Truths are based on facts.

15:10 This idea of letting unworthy die is what I see happen in almost every episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares as (usually) men, who see their restaurants and recipes and methods as something a part of them....have to let it all die. It's painful to watch when you really understand what is happening to them.
kev c Eh, the only thing I see happening on his show is Ramsey says "Your recipes need to be more like mine. Mine are the only acceptable recipes in the world. Also, my taste in decor is also the only acceptable one in the world." He doesn't try to work with the owner and the current menu to find something that can be successful. He demands instead that every restaurant taste like and look like his own. He is an amazingly egotistical little twat who isn't actually interested in trying to help most of these people. He does have some good insults, though.
kev c a valuable connection you’ve made. Thanks and this applies to all workplaces.
When ever I click on a JP clip, and realize I've already seen it, I watch it again.
I am only just beginning to understand by what is meant by ".... and lead us not into temptation...."
Good catch!!
Democracy is not derived from ancient greek word Daemon (Δαίμων) but from Demos (Δήμος - people), literally "rule of the people"
How is this not upvoted more than all the other comments talking about truth...
grogdizzy and Daemon didn’t use to mean demon as in “evil spirit”, it used to mean just “spirit” back in the day... So I’m not sure what Jordan was aiming at there hah
You are all correct, here - your etymology of democracy in demos is correct. But I think what has happened is that Peterson interrupted his flow of thought with the flow of an internal discourse about Socrates negative view of democracy, where he is critiquing/understnanding it on the basis of his own view of the/his 'daemon' - not surprising, given Socrates' idealised Greek view of truth - and the reason 'not to trust or submit to democracy'. It seems a good point that a bad view of the human spirit and a good view of the human spirit are relevant to the virtue of democracy and that the co-existence of both is not a preclusion to pursuing democracy but a guide to achieving the quality of democracy?
Yea, that was unfortunate that he said that, but it ended being an interesting way to think about Democracy
I know I am very late, but 'demos' and 'daimon' come from the same rootword, and the ideal for democracy was 'eu-daimonia' - social peace. Hence his remark about relation between individual moral 'spirit' and democracy. Also, this quote from Plato: "In democracy, demons change from the individual daimonion of Socrates to guardians of the state."
I am honest to my own detriment..You're right that people will let you know their own character when they show, outwardly, just how much truth they can really cope with. What I've learned is that IF an individual does not begin with a truth then what ever they build upon it will forever be lies. It's an unfortunate fact but there it is. If a person is made of more sturdy stuff then what they will do is work backwards to a truth but will realize very quickly they must change whatever they have built up in themselves on that first falsehood.
Shorter said "building castles in a sand" 😊
Well said, screenshot for contemplation
Yup. Long ago I read in a book that you could dissolve a small cloud by looking intently at it for five minutes or so. So I tried it on a day with many small clouds in a blue sky .. I noted some clouds as "controls" and picked one and gazed at it and it dissolved. Repeated the experiment four more times. And I thought DAMN now I have to rethink my whole education !!
"No one comes to the Father except through Me", to be precise. John 14.6
Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but through me (or by me). Therefore, the Truth leads to the Father. I think that he recently converted. Too often he sidestepped the question of whether or not he believe in God, but his reply would always refer to a god. Now he gently inserts Scripture into his lecture.
Brian G C I was thinking that too. I don’t know how a man like this could learn all that he knows and not end up running into the open arms of Christ. Especially with all the heat he takes, his diet, his lifestyle, his past. He needs Jesus to strengthen him and to keep his steps. Peace and Blessings to you.
Yes - no one comes to the Father except through the spiritual reality of Christ, his teachings and taking them on-board and integrating them, which is what Dr Peterson is expressing to us - the qualities of truth, love, compassion, justice etc.
@@briangc1972 Actually no. I've watched a great many of his clips and interviews trying to sort this out. If you watch more, you'll find several where he states his actual opinion: He thinks we should all "live as though the bible was true". In other words, he doesn't seem to think it is literally true, but rather that there are basic truths underlying our narratives, myths, and 'holy books', and if we live according to their precepts, our lives will be in line with The Truth.
@@cmoneybrickhouse See my comment to Brian G C above. I'm sure you won't like it, but I believe you will see I represented J.P. accurately vis-a-vis his actual views on christ if you search KZhead for "Jordan Peterson Sam Harris". They have a discussion in Vancouver where this really gets addressed in the 2nd part, if memory serves.
Jordan Peterson is our new "Atlas", carryng a lot of weigth in his personal and public life, his powerful speechs brought light to the dark of our time; and, for who follow him in social media, known that his personal life has hard strugles too, and I'm sure that's not easy let all worries in home,so, May God bless you and your family!
I love listening to Jordan Peterson because he tells you things that you already know but he articulates it in such a way that he make it profound. I hear the 'voices' all the time. I know that there is the argumentative 'voice' which I came to understand, wants to make me unhappy and destroy me and there is the quiet, one word (usually), 'voice' which wants to protect me and keep me happy. I don't always listen to the quiet voice but the consequences are, without exception, always bad. I'm still learning and growing and alive. Without the full truth no problem can be completely solved. Thanks Jordan.
I've said before listening to Peterson is like having the blanket of your own ignorance removed from your thoughts .
Yeah but the truth sucks but hey, at least it's there.
Jordan Petersen calms down alot of the stresses that build up in my head. Not specifically for his views, but because it's immensely reassuring to hear his skilled measured and logical discussions (slash arguments). These days when people have had their lives destroyed (unfairly) on media, and all the bullshit that we all KNOW is bullshit, but it's all tied up in a tornado of opinions and dialogue, it scares and frustrates me sometimes. And JP comes in and CRUSHES it, and I can relax more cos I know that not everyone at the wheel is drunk.

What I have learned through him - via his books, lectures, and podcasts - have changed my life. I have needed to hear his message for decades. I am forever grateful. Better later than never. My journey has only just begun.
For all my love of the guy, he is the kind of parent that will make a philosophy lesson out of a joke.
The Urantia Book 132:3.2 Truth cannot be defined with words, only by living. Truth is always more than knowledge. Knowledge pertains to things observed, but truth transcends such purely material levels in that it consorts with wisdom and embraces such imponderables as human experience, even spiritual and living realities. Knowledge originates in science; wisdom, in true philosophy; truth, in the religious experience of spiritual living. Knowledge deals with facts; wisdom, with relationships; truth, with reality values. 132:3.3 Man tends to crystallize science, formulate philosophy, and dogmatize truth because he is mentally lazy in adjusting to the progressive struggles of living, while he is also terribly afraid of the unknown. Natural man is slow to initiate changes in his habits of thinking and in his techniques of living. 132:3.4 Revealed truth, personally discovered truth, is the supreme delight of the human soul; it is the joint creation of the material mind and the indwelling spirit. The eternal salvation of this truth-discerning and beauty-loving soul is assured by that hunger and thirst for goodness which leads this mortal to develop a singleness of purpose to do the Father's will, to find God and to become like him. There is never conflict between true knowledge and truth. There may be conflict between knowledge and human beliefs, beliefs colored with prejudice, distorted by fear, and dominated by the dread of facing new facts of material discovery or spiritual progress. 132:3.5 But truth can never become man's possession without the exercise of faith. This is true because man's thoughts, wisdom, ethics, and ideals will never rise higher than his faith, his sublime hope. And all such true faith is predicated on profound reflection, sincere self-criticism, and uncompromising moral consciousness. Faith is the inspiration of the spiritized creative imagination.
Being righteous is dangerous. People like the idea that everyone can only be self-righteous. God help me.
JR Byrne yes I can attest. It can be brainwashing. And when the time comes to actually be self righteous, who is actually?
The truth can be painful, if it touches the part of you which is already ill,damaged, infected,weak. Get rid of the illness,and it will not hurt you anymore.
I love how even while he is super deep in thought and discussion, he is playing with his wedding ring. Brilliant mind but can still see where his heart is.
"The strength of a person's spirit would then be measured by how much 'truth' he could tolerate, or more precisely, to what extent he needs to have it diluted, disguised, sweetened, muted, falsified." - Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil.
Peterson is so incredible in his way of thinking. I’m so glad he lived in a period where we can watch his internal struggle as he searches for the truth. He is honest and doesn’t claim that he is right, admits when he is wrong, but is constantly searching for the truth. Love it.
How did he turn a joke about Cathy Newman burning in hell into a 16 minute ramble. Amazing
The Kathy Newman email obviously a selected comedic prop, to get to some serious themes.
@John Quinn it was a fucking compliment, and I never said the ramble was senseless. Get your head out of your ass
Truth has only one purpose, to expose a liar's pretense of good and thereby destroy his ability to do evil. "I tell you the truth..."
I'm way deep into this man, just noticed he makes sweet sweet caressive love to everything around him. His chair, his wedding ring to Tammy, his computer Hahahahah reverent words as always...
Is this Jeremiah the prophet?
"Jeremiah was a bullfrog. He was a good friend of mine. I never understood a single word he said, but I helped him drink his wine. And he always had some mighty fine wine." - Three Dog Night ... dunno why your comment made me think of that song...
As long as one is drawing conclusions and making judgement of something the understanding of that thing is blocked. Only after you give up on those two, you can OBSERVE explore and really see that thing achiving understanding tru patience hence upgrading your awareness about the reality of that thing.. then ur @truth about it
This clip was from his second talk in Brisbane and his final night in Oz! This man is amazingly gifted with words. Such profound and deep knowledge you got there sir. Extremely happy to see you in person dr Peterson
Love you Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. Keep up the great work changing the life of millions of people in countless positive ways. Please return to Massachusetts USA.
Bob As soon as I read your comment I started to sing the Bee Gees' song, "And the lights all went out in Massachusetts." Look it up.
@@goldkhw True friend.
Seems there is a lot of dead people with good intentions.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
C.S Lewis has this idea that most evil in the world is the pursuit of some good by the wrong means, wealth, pleasure, security, justice are all good in themselves, but when sought out by the wrong means can corrupt a person to the core.
Life was given to us ; I totally agree.. 💕
I haven’t experienced a painful truth in a while
"The truth is the way and the path of life ...I don't think you can manifest who you are without the truth. It's literally and metaphorically true. The pathway to who you could be, if you were completely who you were, is through the truth. The truth does set you free, but it destroys everything that isn't worthy in you as it sets you free. That is a process of burning. It's painful, because we cling to what we shouldn't be; partly out of pride, ignorance, or laziness." "Everything about you that isn't worthy, is to be put into the flames."
*The "Truth", will set you free.*
Jordan has done some serious soul searching. I love this man so much!
Standford prison experiment. People are capable of terrible things and not only do them but will actively support the institutiontional structure despite cognitive dissonance. This is how cliches and dictators work. By the mutual unspoken agreement of the group that what they are doing is right by might. People are socialised by the potential threat of getting in trouble. Which is why the majority of people when that threat is removed will not only break the rules but by pursuing that which could be seen as evil. The fear of doing which the group dictate is and being excluded over rides the moral judgement of the person. That's why the scary thing in the walking dead is not the zombies but how the humans behave towards each other.
Many would be an empty vessel without their hatred. No more than an infant being so long disassociated with reality. It also must be said that the American people have not risen to their responsibilities so focused on the meaningless. Without a determined to the core opposition you get what you see today.
Unconscious people can be full of hate. Mature persons let it go. It is of no help. But you are right hate is all they can feel and prefer to do so instead of being empty. Wasted lifes.
“You need to develop a relationship with something that’s profound, and you can...” Reminds me of a man who said something along the lines of “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life...”
YES, exactly!!❣
Beautifully said, as always! Burning off chunks of deadwood, false parts of ourselves/life, to make way for a healthy, living tree, Truth, is painful but necessary. I hope to continue this process forever
He’s got lobsters on his tie, this man has now achieved divine status
What if a lie is disguised so deeply as a truth that you can not see its true nature or vice versa? What would be the ultimate method to distinguish one from another?
listen to the feelings in your body - when you go into nature and silence and shut out the noise and various arguments, you start to hear other things - you develop inner knowing and that's where your truth will be found.
Of the many JP videos I have watched so far, this is definitely one of my favorite. He talks here about burning parts of yourself that are dead as a vital step in the transformation process to become who you could be. I am right now in that process and it amazes how right he actually is about what he is saying. Being well articulated in your speech is one thing, but to be accurate in the smallest details is insane. I am blown away. Indeed I am finding out how much I actually LIE, about the painful process of letting those parts of yourself go that are not worthy, especially if it's almost your entire being that is pathological. I can very much relate to Dr Peterson. I am 27 and I have almost the same problems as he had when he was my age, like the lies for the sake of winning the argument. I have been trying to get my act together for the last 18 months or so now. It's been only one month however since I am doing it consciously. I have listened to my conscience, observed my thoughts and behaviors and identified all what needs to burn off through writing it all down. It's a LOT. And a LOT of work. And painful too. I realized I have been living a pathological life all this time. Tomorrow is the start of the second month of my transformation (18 April - 17 May). Wish me luck while in a few hours I descend into the underworld to confront the dragons. After observing and watching, it's now time to slay. ;)
" 'coz your best isn't enough ..." gosh...
but what if damage has been done already and the truth comes only to someone else's expenses. what if it would destroy them so the only thing that seems "fair" to do now is to live in lie. Is that my punishment?
Care to elaborate?
"Courage in the face of Being" might be a problematic notion to some. I know a few people (mostly the hyper rational and the highly utilitarian) who equate courage with foolishness in some situations. A stereotypical example would be to stand up to a tyrannical new boss soon after you were finally promoted. One from fiction is "a small thief in horror movie discovers a maniac torturing people in one of the houses he's robbing and decides to jump in and fight". "Courage" can be incredibly dangerous, and you never really know in which order you should act yourself and/or call someone more competent. "Courage" can also be incredibly counter-intuitive. One with deep issues who's aware of them might think courage is to deal with them internally "like a man", when psychologists claim that it takes courage to admit you're so damaged you need more information and/or professional help. Of course in its broad form "courage in the face of Being" is generally the readiness to tell the truth and confront what your fear, but it's very easy to get bogged down in particulars and think you'll make it entering on your own.
This is the sort of awe that gets me to kneel. It's not what he says it's also how he says it. He's not lying.
We can deaden our conscience by everyday choices that deny the truth.
❤️🇺🇸Thrilled Jordan and his family are healing. After all I have lost in my life, I feel it pointless now as my loops repeat. But, when I listen to Jordan speak, I am reminded I am competent, fortunate and have choices. Life is precious, it will come to a sudden stop one day. Until then, I continue earning my wisdom, appreciating my time with myself looking for others to share with. Thank you Jordan, I look up to you!❤️🇺🇸
His laughs had me laughing.
Dr. Peterson: I know that my God is deeply and pridefully pleased by you and your work . The way you have acknowledged and defended The Logos shows deep respect and discernment of it's (His) power. I recognize this because I have read and believe that in the beginning The Word ( Logos) was with God and The Word was a God (Jesus) and the written and Living Word have omniscience, omnipresence and power beyond mortal comprehension please keep drilling down and sharing your knowledge because millions of followers enjoy and are edified by your message. ...and in your personal and confidential journey(ies) do not forget Job from the Scriptures. No matter how confounding or distressing the circumstances....God will get you through and Love always wins and there is eternity to work it out and bring it to realization...Job was rewarded exponentially for his obedience and faith throughout surreal trials. You Sir are Truly Blessed. ❤️....and I humbly thank you for sharing in order to bless us. May your sword of verbal and written Truth remain unsheathed and recognized as a guiding beacon into enlightenment forevermore.
Caprice Walker how arrogant to claim that you know what your “god” thinks
@@WaaluigiBoard tough noogie's
@@CapriceWalker this is honestly the best reply ever (no sarcasm)
Reminds me very much of what Adyashanti refers to as fierce grace: as the the ripping away from you of everything that is not real, not true, regardless of whether or not you’re holding onto it for dear life.
Ive been living on the streets for almost a week now. I was turned awaybat the shelter and asked to come back in 4 days. My succubus of a mother finally (although thankfully too) decided I was not worth the tiny bit of attention she was able to muster, I asked for help from the suicide hotline and ended up in an argument and drugged by an ER Dr. who disgraces the idea that doctors are smart, Ive called 7x for my food stamp interview and just missed the one callback in a week I recieved. Ive faced a lot of truths lately and while Im no where near happy I am stronger than ever and finallylearning to break away from the real shackles of a horrendous past because I have been through much worse than this and Dr. APeterson has been a big part of my moving forward. Shit sucks sometimes, STAY HARD gentlemen!!
Don't give up. You can push through to a point where YOU are greater than your mind, your Shadow, as it were.
I just hope someday he finds truth about Religion.He would be a great asset for Humanity
You are talking about relationship about Jesus. You are a wise man, your wisdom always in the premises of God. You just can't spell it out and admit it
Hey Jordan, I'm also an Albertan, and have followed your videos for quite awhile. I do so appreciate your years of extensive study and research into the most complex subject there is- human beings. I pretty well consider you my Svengali, though I'm 64 and long in the tooth, i find it soul refreshing to listen to your lectures and thoughts. Keep up this GREAT work of your's please...It is such an inspiration for me- and I'm sure many others as well.
Even with my very limited intelligence I can easily say Professor Peterson has wisdom far beyond his years. For everyone’s sake I dearly wish more would listen to him and learn!
I am very old. Many times and in many ways, truth has burned me clean and forced me to become new. My life now, my condition, is wonderful beyond anything I imagined could be -- everything is Light.
Even the dark is light
The truth can be seen in ur words thank-you and may the One that is the Word bless you.R
Lol 0:58 it's more of a comment really
My conscience tells me right from wrong or when I think im making a good or bad decision but what determines my consciences' conscience. What dictates to that whats right or wrong to go on to tell me. Gut feeling? Life experience?
Partly evolution? An evolved sense of what is right? Like when wolves fight for dominance, they never fight to the death.
"The proper route forward for the redemption of the individual and for mankind as a whole, is as a consequence for the redemption of each individual. That occurs as a consequence of adherence to the truth and courage in the face of being". That is pretty much all you need to know to start being a better person
