Wow that’s amazing! Praise God! 🙌✝️🙏

Do you think you needed to live that hedonistic lifestyle in order to see the wisdom in JPs words? Im simply curious, thinking of my own children, no judgement.

Exactly this, well put, cheers 🥂

I love this and thank you! People need to hear these life stories. God bless and keep you! One day at a time ❤❤❤

@@imallergictobullets I’m not sure. I believe if you instill those virtues and characteristics at a young age to become an individual and be able to hold yourself accountable, you don’t need to go through the self inflicted darkness. I needed it, personally, it’s shaped me into who I am, I wouldn’t trade it for the world.. so in short I believe if you know how to work thru the dark when you enter it, you’ll be okay. Everyone’s story is so different - you know?

If you watched the series of Sandman, this makes lots of sense. Makes me wonder if the writers were inspired by JP.

Peterson seem pretty relaxed after mushroom trip. I think he reflected more about himself.

@@jqhn316 The sandman is based on the teaching's of Carl Jung, whom Peterson cites a lot of the time. They even mention the "collective unconscious" which is a jungian idea. In a sense, almost every story is the inner journey of the person/people who wrote it. But yea, the Sandman is a brilliant show. can't wait for s2.

As powerful as that is he's also said that sometimes you're at such a low place that you can't engage in big social or political problems and you do what you can and sort yourself out, "Clean your room". Find a task that is "small enough that you can actually do". That's where I'm at, I've extremely ill and so political controversies don't really bother me because I can barely manage my day to day life, simple things like getting up in the morning are hard for me. And that's okay too. Hearing him talk about his daughter has helped me massively

This was what Plato said.

@@joshdunne8792 You can do it bro, struggling myself, it's a step at a time.

so true we must push back on socialism.

While being true it's also very frightening. I used to be politically active (not activist). I ended up as leader of the regional chapter of a party. When I began the dad of one of my friends warned me: record all conversations, also phone conversations, don't trust anyone, take copy of everything you put your name on, don't trust anyone, document all meetings and who was at the meetings, don't trust anyone, never talk to media without a previously agreed agenda, don't trust anyone, keep party funds under strict control and never receive funds without lawyers present, don't trust anyone. Most important: never trust anyone.

Exactly!

Exactly this. The way you said it really makes my bowels quiver

This one hit home😭

Do you all really feel that bad about yourself?

It's about taking responsibility for past mistakes. If you look at them seriously you realise that you deserve the suffering. Everyone makes mistakes and noone can get away with them. The other route is not facing them. But then you don't see the reality as it is and you will be fooling yourself and others. Also, if you don't suffer, you just enjoy the benefits of other people's suffering.

He could do better. Especially now that he's famous. D i v o r c e. Get a younger one, come on "genius"

Well she didn't marry him just for the looks :)

That or he's a word salader

​@@Wretchedrenegade he isn't tho because you can understand what he's saying.

@@Wretchedrenegade do you know what a word salad is?

@@Wretchedrenegadeclearly you dont understand what that word mean

I think that his most recent difficulties have more to do with alleged unprofessional behavior than it does criticism of the government per se, doesn't it? I mean, "Poor people eat too much food" or "climate doesn't exist" aren't direct critiques of any government, are they? I lost interest in what he is saying when I checked out his assertion that "lack of serotonin is the cause of depression"; it turns out there is no scientific basis for that whatsoever. Then I looked into him further only to discover his claims, "I am an evolutionary biologist," and "I am a neuroscientist" to both be false: he's always only had a doctorate in cognitive psychology. I've always intensely disliked and mistrusted paucity of intellectual integrity... (..."There is a false saying: 'How can someone who cannot save himself save others?' Supposing I have the key to your chains, why should your lock and my lock be the same?" ~ Friedrich Nietzsche)

That must have been so hard to realise than, and even harder to fix it. Good job man.

Can you say How old are you?

@@gautamchoudhary272 Well, I'm 61 (even if I don't think of myself that way) and _I_ have learned from Dr Peterson. The thing is that most of what Dr. Peterson talks about/teaches is essential life knowledge. Of course, the proper interpretation of this statement depends on your understanding of the meaning of the word "essential." If you are discussing something essential to whatever subject you are in fact discussing the foundational aspects of the subject. On that note, I will guess (perhaps incorrectly) that his age is likely early 30s or late 20s.

Waking up and accepting God as the Creator of all things but also His Love for us hopeless human beings has been my greatest motivation to change my behaviour, my mind, my speech, my interests, my priorities, what I listen to and how I see myself: a child of The Living God. Soooo blessed to leave all my past behind. It took me three years of praying and humbling myself and reading the Bible morning and night. A very small price to pay for peace and freedom! Blessings to all!

Altered state of conciousness.. Indeed.

@@James-ll3jb lmao, little ole James has 'figured out' Dr Jordan Peterson. His whole world will crumble and he will grovel on his knees at the feet of the ever great detective James. Lmao

@@James-ll3jb: Wtf are you talking about?

​@@James-ll3jbDamn James, you sunk the Doc's entire career in one post. Kathy Newman couldn't do it but ol' James is a genius on another level. 😂

…the question was: “what is the relationship between imagination and the unconscious?”

He answered by explaining you should make your imagination work in your advantage by figuring out your identity, making a list of goals and achieving them step by step, live in a conscious way, make your own ideal imagined reality.

Do what other people do.. but can we apply WHAT they do to our needs?

​@@kryptoknight. glad somebody typed it 😅

What others pp is hard

Well said

Amen bro

If you aren't fit for Heaven here on earth then you won't be fit for Heaven. The transformation is to take place here on earth. Your soul should be clear. Everyone should be walking the straight path here. Now, we still have problems with the flesh, severely. However, it is written that when the time comes the saints will shed their corrupted bodies and be given incorruptible, glorified bodies. In that case, when properly done, you pair a clear, clean heart and mind with a clean, incorruptible body. That is whole perfection. Then, we are ready to enter into Heaven. Specifically, Heaven on earth which is New Jerusalem.

I drove like 10 hours for this and was brutally exhausted but the show was still great 😅

A friend invited me to see the Dr a few weeks ago. At the end, he turned to me and said, "That was like drinking from a fire hose." I agreed, too true.

where was it?

How many of our imaginative moments are influenced by the unconscious part of the brain do you think?

And active imagination is the balance/interplay between conscious and unconscious control of the imagination.

Haha yeah okay buddy

​@@_AMICUM_ all of them

I feel the imagination and unconscious mind are entangled.

Couldn't Agree More, It's Beautiful, It really Is.

It could be but mostly its suffering.

@@Sullitude87 You are correct in that suffering escapes no one. However, love, truth, kindness and compassion win every single time. Love is more powerful than hate. Believing in something is better than believing in nothing. Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day. Jesus Christ loves you more and more each day. 👍🏻✝️🙏🏻🌻

Interesting observation. 🤔

i think he makes more jokes, but yes he is great and we love him

Nothing funnier than the truth sometimes.

The continental divide

Its funny because its true

He was after the woman in the red dress, in the red convertible, holding an apple and cocaine

Fact

👏

Now we're getting somewhere. Iain McGilchrist makes me ask many questions.

Make a space to LISTEN ....to the answer to your question. Once you can do that just LISTEN.... in the space of nothingness...be OK not knowing the future...🎉🎉soooo cool what or who fills the gap. Exciting 100 fold. Nothing you could ever imagine comes to you if you allow. Affirm...always believe that something wonderful is about to happen....🎉

Decide to let yourself off the hook for just one day, or just one hour. It is hard to force ourselves into such a simple situation, I know. But at this point, you have nothing to lose but a day or an hour of misery, right? So push yourself to just forget all the stuff you usually tell yourself. If you feel yourself creeping into that old habit, just stop & let it go for now. I am no pro & am not trying to tell you, a stranger, what to do…but I am a human with the ability to recognize that you have posted the comment because you want more than you believe you are right now. Fatigue can sometimes be a heavy burden that swallows up our energy. Waking ourselves up requires us to throw a wrench in our reg habits…like an alarm clock for our soul, if you will. Faith is not only something for religious people. It is a trust we all must work at, in many parts of our lives. Maybe you can try letting go of the weights you carry every day, for just the one day or one hour, and try carrying some true & honest faith that you can have the life you want with your family because you are a man of value, and that is not a small thing. Just think of how good you will feel for that one day, or one hour…how much lighter & free you will be. The only thing needed to get there is to try forgiving yourself your self imposed criticisms for the day, or the hour… at this point, it can’t hurt to give it a try, right?! One last little tidbit that may seem silly but has incredibly positive outcomes by those who do it… go stand in front of a mirror and smile. Physically force your face into a smile…over & over. Don’t critique your looks or your face…simply smile. Force yourself to do that every time you see a mirror, make it a habit. It will change your mood & the mood of those you encounter the more you do it. I hope you read this & give yourself the chance to try these two things. Sometimes it is just a little recognition that can turn life around…point us in a better direction. I recognize your fatigue and hope you know there is a better direction you can go in. Smile, dear stranger, it is worth it.

All you can do is the best you can do and nothing more. It'll happen one way or another I just try to be enthusiastic about it and the challenge becomes more fun as time goes on. Listening to Mr Peterson helps

What you need is to accept God in your heart, accept Jesus Christ into your life. Those interior problems will go away... And they go away at the moment you receive him. That is your only option and solution.

Wow! How was like seeing him in person? Quite the experience I imagine

When did it happen? I need to frame some of my imaginations.

Thats very interesting, it reminded me of one of JPs lectures form the biblical series. "The Phenomenology of the divine - VIII". He talks a bit about the origins of the counsciousness, you might like watching.

Interesting thoughts. I'll give the lecture a go it's been on my list

SUBCONCIOUS**** I really hate how he combines those two into the word you and he use....the brain scans are NOT the same!!

Are you defining a Distiction between sub- and Un-? Please go on

Could you say a little bit more about that, please? It would be even better if you could share the sources.
