Dr Peterson I am a licensed psychologist in Houston. My son gave me tickets to your recent Houston show for Christmas. It was a great night and all of my colleagues who attended and felt the same. You are always an honorary Texan! God Bless you and yours.
Amen. Dr. Peterson shines Light.
I've heard Alberta is the Texas of Canada.
You heard correct...
Cowboys and Cattle.
Oil and $$
As a psychologist, what are your thoughts towards the possibility that our minds, our more specifically, our brains are products of an unguided, meaningless process? Do you believe that we are purposeful as assigned by God?
Doubtful he'll ever read this
I don't know how I found Dr. Peterson but I've followed him for 4 years now. I'd like to see him in person atleast once in my life and say "Thank you" coz when I was down, his words made me believe that if I survive this tyranny and this desert then maybe beyond a war I can get to the promised land and that keeps me going. "Do what is meaningful and not what is expedient"
Hope :)
You found him the same way you found God
I found jordan about 2 years ago. He's helped me build an image of what God should be. And I'm extremely grateful. God has always been in my life. But before my image was wrong.
My hubby and I got away without the kids and saw you and your wife for the first time in Denver last night. Loved it! 👏
Yah. I saw him and his wife in St. Louis back in February.
My wife and I were there last night as well. It was an amazing evening.
We're going this month in Phoenix
@@dsha2006 I hope you have a great time! He is awesome!
I could listen to Jordan Peterson talk about the nuances of floristry. The man is a master at captivating an audience with the passion he has for the things he talks about.
You 🏆 win, best comment of thread! I too would listen to the underlying dialogue of tulips lol. Great laugh you gave me 😂
TRUTH!
What he's a master at is being a lying manipulative antichrist.
'We haven't even got to the first sentence of the biblical stories yet' - laughter and applause... this is what I love most about JP, this passion for exploration into the truth that it goes beyond the bounds of a framework and invokes the spirit of that in its raw and powerful way, which knows no bounds or constraints.
And the audiences response shows just how captivated and with him they are, that applause is like the highest affirmation of that unity of souls embarking on the same quest.
I have a deep feeling that he is one of the most important thinkers of all time, and he exists in our time, which, despite the current state of the world, makes it an incredible time to be alive.
Dr. Peterson, you have hundreds of thousands of people (and perhaps more) praying for you and your conversion. May God bless you and your family.
He will be one of the people to go down in history as the person you wish you could have a conversation with just once. I'm truly honoured to exist in the same time as him 🙏🙏
I'm not sure where else to send this, so I will simply say thank you for visiting Denver last evening. May your family be blessed, and may you know how deeply appreciated your lectures are.
Thank you.
"For when you see me, you're seeing the one who sent me." (John 12) God is a person, not a thing.."the world in its wisdom can never know God." (1 Corinthians 2)
God is Spirit and those that worship him must worship Him in the Spirit and truth. Amen brother.
Christians placed highest importance on individuality and form. Christians cannot imagine mind or intelligence operating in any effective way other than through the medium of individual form. Because of this, Christians have created a mental image of a vast supreme being, having all the attributes, positive and negative, of a human being. Thus was it possible for Christians to believe in-and speak of-God's anger, threats of punishment, visitations of sickness and plagues in response to human waywardness. But these mental images are MYTHS and FALLACIES. Therefore, they do not exist.
You see, it is the MIND-the intelligence exhibited-which is the all-important factor relating to creation and man himself. Therefore, Genesis should be rewritten: "Before creation-is UNIVERSAL MIND-Creative Power behind and within creation itself.
Referring to God as a "person" is pretty reductive. I don't know how a single "person" can encompass the Holy Trinity. Because people were created in God's image, that does not make him a "person" any more than a human who paints a 2 dimensional self portrait would be considered a "canvas". He's so incredibly much more than a "person", that I think I could be appropriate to classify him as a "thing" of sorts from an ultra limited human perspective.
@Dalejw3 "And the Word became flesh." (John 1:14)..."He was made in every respect like us,...so he can be our faithful High Priest.." (Hebrews 2)
And yet, the first comandment says this:
We are to love God with all our heart, our soul and our mind. How is that even possible?
Most people don't understand how groundbreaking all of his lectures actually are except for the millions experiencing the change in their lives for the better.
He has successfully reached across the table with the best outcome no one has ever accomplished. .
Ha gaaaaayyyyyyy
Dr. Peterson, I saw you in El Paso Tx in April and it was such a privilege to finally get to shake your hand. I will spend the second half of my life attempting to get a grasp on what you teach. It would be impossible to overstate the positive impact you have made on my life. As a woman raised without a proper male role model, you have provided the guidance I had been searching for my whole life. I love you so much and I'm thankful for you every day ⚜️
You guys are so lucky to see Dr. Peterson in person. Someday someway I'll be able to see him !
People have grossly underestimated the sophistication of our ancient ancestors.
Mainly an ideology that probably began during the French revolution which was the precursor to Marxism/Communism that dismatled and caused some of the most wicked bloodshed in recent history, literally in the last 100 years, this idea now soaks the west that the ancients were nothing but smelly farmers because didn't have cars and Iphones and beleived in God, but when we look at ancient writting, stories, war stragedies and architecture we see that these people although limited in science and technology were gifted in many other more important aspects that have to do with human consciousness.
@StallionFernando Yeah. What's strange about that, is Russo simultaneously supposed that they were unsophisticated and benevolent primitives at the same time, condemning institutions but also taking for granted his own education. This happens so frequently in our current Era.
Looking up at the sky asking "why? Why do you do this? Why do you ruin my crops?"
This is called a lack of knowledge that we now call 'The weather'
I’d say we are dumber, worse equipped than anyone in our history across a multitude of disciplines. The ancient Hebrews just passed down the entire law of Moses and more by word of mouth, you ask someone these days to do that? Ya it’s not going so well. I completely agree with your assessment. They GOT us here, and look at us ruining all of it.
Saw Dr. P last night in Denver. It was cool! For those of us who know him, get him. Those that don’t, won’t. It was amazing watching him display his gift for analysis and connecting the seemingly obscure.
This June I am coming to Boston to see your "we who wrestle with God" lecture Jordan!!! Can't wait to be there! Keep up the amazing lectures and life saving advice.
It is so good! I saw him in Houston
God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth.
Amen, in Jesus name I pray.
God is a fairytale my friend. He’s an idea.

Another great piece by Dr JP! So happy he keeps on speaking up and speaking out.
As a Christian that question strikes me as one that would be asked by someone who does not understand Christianity
Watch the video - his analysis is more deep than any other humans.
@@zephyrjmilnes
That is why I could not understand what he was trying to explain because it is beyond human understanding.
He sounds like dipak Chopra going around the circle and making no Sense.
Yes Dr. Jordan Peterson does not understand Christianity. It's because he keeps trying to understand it on a human level. You literally have to go beyond the merely human and the merely natural. It's possible but you have to just do it, just allow it.
@@rezamohamadakhavan_abdolla8627 He's trying to get across the point that the divine principal of creation is making the world out of nothing. order out of chaos.
@@zephyrjmilnes You obviously haven't read the Church Fathers.
I was an atheist most of my life , smugly shaking my head at "Christians" and other fools that had been "Brainwashed" by religions.
I am now a Christian of two years , came here from reason as well as faith. It was me that was "brainwashed " by society norms and an unwillingness to open my mind to other view points.
I decided to read in to the Resurrection , with a view to find a "rational" explanation ; Instead , I came out convinced it REALLY did happen - it was historic.
I would advise others to not be so sure their view is right , and people that are Christians are just Brainwashed etc
We have no problem with everything coming from "nothing" (Big Bang) , yet a man coming back from the dead can't be possible.
And dismissing us (Christians or Religious) as dumb doesn't hold water either;
A lot of the best minds in history , that have progressed science and thus, technology were also Christians.
I think surely we can all agree, Atheist or believer that if people ACTUALLY acted more like Christ (including myself and other Christians) to others, there would be less suffering in the world.
I could well be wrong , but I am really proud to believe in Christ.
God bless ❤
Welcome, brother.
Sounds to me like you just changed your standard of proof and suddenly decided to accept things with zero evidence because some things just hit a comfortable spot and felt good. And that is fine. Many people stop caring about facts and start caring more about feelings as they get older. And that's fine. You do you, my friend.
Amen, to you too.
😇
👍
I'm sincerely curious, @cpia2002, what specifically had you change your mind to believing that the resurrection was a factual event, and not a metaphorical one?
Congrats on acknowledging our Creator. The real question is, do you smugly shake your head at non-Christians now? Unfortunately, as awesome as Christ is, Christianity has become CULTure. Once you understand Christianity, you'll be at the first step of understanding and starting to ask real questions about Christ's life and teachings. Not what unqualified, strip mall American preachers teach. Ask where baptism and disciplic succession actually came from since the Abrahamic teachings clearly never had those processes.
Really looking forward to seeing Dr. Peterson in May! I love all his breakdowns and the depth of knowledge combined with theory to form his ideas.
On another note, LOL I hope I get some time to meet some single men at the show…maybe I can step out of my box and meet someone who is intellectual 🧐 I heard lots of couples attend.
Either way it should be a fun evening!
THANK YOU...❤
Thanks for taking us on this journey to a deeper understanding of God and focused consciousness.
O:26 ur words are gonna be edited (tremendously) turns into infinity ❤❤❤love faith joy
Thank you sir!
Dr. Peterson, you make me cry. The hope for the world is so hidden from us by our self centric perspective that though it stairs us in the face every day we never see it and those that do know it, avoid examining it. We live in a sad, blinded world the light of which is kept in a box that everyone is afraid to open. May that light one day be accepted by mankind and many benefit from its glory. I’m afraid that that day will not come before all hope will be lost for all but the very few who will put aside every earthly interest and do their best to implement Gods word in their lives to his glory. Ephesians 3:4.
Very good video
Hello Doc. Peterson, have you ever considered interwieving Schwerpunkt? He's a PhD in Medieval warfare but he's quite proficient the transcendental meaning of European Tradition. His work struck me and I think that your interaction could boost dramatically Transatlantic conservatism.
Love this vids man
Dear Mr. Peterson, could you please produce a video discussing The neuroscience of speaking in tongues? This topic holds considerable significance in exploring evidence for the existence of God.
The idea of collectively subordinating ourselves to God had been something that I've been recently thinking about in relationship to moral relativism. Societies that have become increasingly secular lose their moral foundation in the absence of a divine command. We either worship a deity or we worship a tyrant.
Modern society is more about worship of the self tbh.
Yes.
I am always amazed and inspired when I hear Dr. Peterson speak. He brings a burst of light in the darkness.
Thank you 💯
The endeavor beyond that which constrains us
Study near death experiences to find out... It's more of a generalization than some kind of single personified intelligence... It's the unconditional love and peace and joy and beautiful music and colors beyond Earth... The grand acceptance of the beings on the other side.
In these explanations God to me is the collective conscious experience with the highest grade positivity any human had ever experienced. Ultra reality. Timeless. Unburdened. The reservoir of pleasure, to use a description of God by the hare krishnas. And you will learn what they say is one of the great realities, YOU ARE NOT THIS BODY.
When I saw it was a full restoration, i grabbed a plate of food, planted my behind on the couch and prepared to be amazed. I was not disappointed.
Really amazing work!!
Another perfect lecture.
Simple answer, the way, and the truth, and the life.
Simple and yet unfathomably complex.
@@DTHRocketthat’s why I let God tell me who he is.
That is not an answer. That is the intellectual and theological equivalent of blowing a raspberry and saying _'it just is, ok.'_
@@DTHRocketMental gymnastics are often complex but they rarely make logical sense.
@ivareskesner2019 it's what Jesus called himself, it's not meant to be a scientific answer on the substance of what God is because he isn't a substance. You can't pin down what he is to something that exists
I will not lose hope even as I struggle as a single mother. Both of my sons are special needs children. They require so much from me yet I know I AM BLESSED to be their mother. Lord Jesus give me strength as I struggle with rent and as I struggle to provide groceries for my children. I feel so alone and discouraged so Lord Jesus please continue to carry me through this difficult time.
One day at a time. My brother has non verbal autism. Its extremely exhausting and frustrating tbh. But i respect him and do everything possible to help him. There are good ppl out there that will help you. You are very strong to handle it day to day. Have faith that everything will be ok. 🙏♥️✝️

God is all powerful all knowing❤
Nope,or he must be bad,letting a innocent 1 y old die.
If god is all knowing then he knows the future, if he knows the future he knows what he will do in the future, so can he change what he will do in the future? He must be able to since he is all powerful, right? Does he also know he will change the future then? But if he knows even that, then he is not all powerful since he can't change what he knows is going to happen, right?
I'm so tired of these insensitive and hateful questions. "What is God" "Who is God." Nobody ever asks "How is God?"
I sometimes ask: when is God?
Wow, I never thought about that
You wish to know the emotional state of God(GQF), He is very happy, constantly watching and relaxed.
The universe is exactly where it needs to be at the exact time it needs to be.
Matthew
God is impervious to the concern or lack thereof from His creations. He simply IS.
Not really, Jesus cried for us@@erichanson5561
Dr. Peterson, so glad you "resurrected" this talk. The ideas you bring to bear on religion from a psychological perspective are incredibly valuable.
Im a fan of the catholic idea of sacraments most particularly the sacrament of confirmation. Acepting and recognizing the holy spirit is one of the most important and profounnd realizations a mortal can make in my opinion.
God is the Love ❤️🔥👍
Absolute LOVE
Dear Jordan, God is not a metaphor. He is immutable, omniscient and omnipotent, and is therefore unaffected by our beliefs about him.
He IS the I AM, the ultimate reality and we will have to face him and give account, especially with regards to our reception of his indescribable gift - the LORD Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 4:13 says;
"And there is no creature hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of him to whom we must give account".
May God bless, and open our eyes to the potential danger/blessing of our choice.
AMEN!!!!
The title of this video says it all! “What is God?” God is not a what He is a He.
Ahh, but all of you, concerned for JP's soul miss his point. We may ask ourselves "what" God is, what He is made of, how He can be, where He could be. Are these not valid or noble pursuits of the mind? Do you all merely read and accept without wonder? Do you wonder? Is there any mystery left for you?
The awe and wonder of God is truly unsearchable, but this does not mean we can never know anything definitely of him.
Your question reminds me somewhat of the prognosticators in Athens (Acts 17:19-31)
It is entirely possible that we end up talking delight in our experience of wonder instead of taking delight in God himself.
The process of intellectual stimulation without getting personal with God also softens our sense of accountability, and gives us the feeling that we might be able to make the rules bend to our thoughts and assertions, rather than having an objective standard from an immutable God.
I am glad this was posted after the interview with Russel Brand. I am also glad that you stopped Dr. Peterson’s lecture while the ad ran. Thank you.
From what I can gather, this is a lot like physics. We have a multitude of pieces that point to a certain “answer”; however, we cannot validate that answer directly. “God” seems to be more symbolic than an actual “Thing”.
I came up with something working with machines that I have heard has been put other ways but: “Everything works perfectly, when it works, even when not perfect.”
Such is humanity. I do believe that we will rise and fall many more times. I think we are not allowed to get “to good”.. people will always want more via greed, gluttony, power hungry or something. Like they have said for forever, “imagine what we could do if we would all just stop fighting”
A practical belief To prove homage by obedience to the law of Life and with all the heart might and mind to adjust.
The everlasting Father the Prince of peace the Creator of existence
Not « what » but « who » is God ?

Looking forward to the next Europe tour. This time, I will have a salary, so I can afford to come.

@@AnndenMark it’s an expression. I mean I put more time into considering this, and I could write an essay. Not here in YT comments, though.

God created man his own image. You are a God
@@hittonyup562 "What we see in Genesis is precisely the reverse of this pagan practice. Upon the completion of his own temple, his own sacred space, God then creates his own image. After creating a human person as his image, God himself breathes into him the breath of life, opening his nostrils, and causing him to live, and to function as God’s image. The gift which is here given to human persons is to be the means by which God is going to act, to work, in his creation. This is a gift and a privilege, as God does not need humanity in order to act in Creation, any more than he needed a creation in which to act. The fall then represents the failure of humanity to serve as the image of God. Rather than participating in the works of God, man undertakes his own work, another, foreign motion of his will. At this point, as the Fathers distinguish between image and likeness, humanity loses the likeness to God, though human persons continue to be God’s image, such that the reverence which is shown for a human person passes on to his creator, as does the lack thereof (Gen 9:6, Matt 25:31-46)."
Man. Sometimes i feel like we are engaged in a direct dialogue Jordan! Respond if ya can. I found out about you because someone told me " this guy is saying things youve been saying for a long time" This was about 7 years ago. And my brother told me that. Hes the only person thats known me my whole life. I think i was born with a particular personality that is similar to yours. The natural thoughts are just uncanny. I purposefully resisted reading " philosophy" until i was 30. But gained so much field experience and was interested in religion. Your confirmation and expansion of my inclinations have been life affirming and life changing. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
I only just found Mr Peterson by accident recently and I'm very much attracted to his words and how he uses them and where that operating force comes from in such a genuinely authentic knowingness but I do wonder how it effects him because to me it's overly obvious that his energy at least visibly external does not match the end result of discussion which is understandable because you are a literal energy filter for those who are lost and if you have a guiding light as he does it will effect you over time and I can absolutely tell it is and so I hope he's aware of it as I'm sure he is and has methods to remove negative residuals from such a difficult line of work... aside from that observation I thank you for your insight as I always value perspectives I haven't noticed
❤✝ *God is Our Father* *“You are my Son; today I have become your Father” - Hebrews 5:5* 🌈
Don't ask What is God, Ask Who is God 🙏 the Bible tells us of Gods character, He is love, light, a dwelling place, omnipresent, forever, living (and in our hearts) His word doesn't go void, All of His followers should know to know God and to get to Him you have to know Jesus His son, You can not get to the father without first knowing Him, God bless Everyone, if I can pray for anyone reading this, let me know, I love you ❤
What does death behold for the emotions I have been bestowed upon me lately? Will they go with me after my body dies? I believe they will. I am finding more compassion aimed at my family. Though they don't always "get" my words. Not because the are not smart, but because it is somewhat out of the throws of theirs. I love them. Words aside, it seems easier to write so the context is easier to see. Thank you, indivisibly for the ongoing lessons. 8:33

Amen! Because God is the Pre-Eminent Being and Progenitor Existence, He can create something out of nothing with Himself/His own existence as the template.

@@herintegrity1453 I didn’t say all things are made in His image. I said all things are modelled after Him. As in, when we look at the stars in the sky, or creatures of the ocean, whatever it maybe, they give hints and testimonies as to the existence of God. By design, or by characteristics, all declare the glory of God.
@@herintegrity1453 let me add: take for example, Light. Light, by design, is Atemporal or Eternal, because it travels infinitely fast and is never at rest. This is just like God, God never rests, and is Eternal, and is the Light of the World/Universe. God is brighter than all of existence.
If someone is interested in mythical symbolism but at the same time is really scientific & intellectual I recommend looking into classical metaphysics coming down Plato & Aristotle. I think it could be a good bridge of understanding between mythology & science. Edward Feser is really strightforward author on the topic.
"And since wonder was the motive which led men to philosophy, it is evident that the philosopher is, in a sense, a philo-myth, i.e., a lover of myth, as is characteristic of the poets." ~ Thomas Aquinas, Commentary on Aristotle's Metaphysics.
JBP: What is God?
Me: What do you mean by that??
The title of this show troubles me because instead of saying WHO is God, it ask WHAT is God. I wonder if it’s just me or does anybody else feel like something is wrong with the question?
No it’s just you. Because if you can ask who then you can ask what. Listen carefully to his point.
God is Father , Son and Holy Spirit!
That's very easy to say, but terribly hard to understand and apply. Repeating things without understanding them or being able to explain them in a practical fashion is exactly what got us in this mess.
Sings: “It ain’t necessarily so...” 🎤
I can't wait to see JBP in LA!
I could listen to him for hours. I always walk away feeling much smarter.
i am an athiest, not by choice. i envy those who believe in a God, but all i see is humans creating concepts of God, usually for power amd to explain things they cant comprehend or accept. A coping strategy to flee chaos. THe only saying I've heard that resonates is God is love, not a being but a connection to a loving nature and then to achieve happiness and life satisfaction quest to attain the loving energy that hold compassion and a desire for joy as an exchange with others, other life beings and yet in balance with compassion and joy for self. Compassion for others to the detriment of ones own existance is self-sacrifice and unsustainable. Other than that, videos like this do nothing to help me see an existance of God.
The Old Testament may be tripping you up. Maybe start with the New Testament, where pretty much Jesus explains it all.
If it helps, think about divinity as a fourth dimensional artist.
I'm atheist too, i think in God like a substantially metaphysic. God does exist in society for people who believe him, but god can't make nothing for ourselves, i think in god like a idea, a idea of hope.
Please read Aristotle's Physics and Metaphysics (with a guide or commentary so that you understand his terms). By studying being insofar as it changes, he discovers that there must be a being that does not change but that sustains the change in all changing things. He then uses how he discovered this being to discover more about him. This being is God. He is knowable by reason. Aristotle, someone who was alive hundreds of years before Christianity and in a Greek pagan society, demonstrates this.
I would ask you why we wish to "flee chaos", is it because we are driven by purpose, rather than existing as meaningless energy formed through random mutations?
God is your creator. He knows your name, holds all your tears in a bottle and knows how many hairs are on your head. He gave His only son to die on your behalf. He's that still small voice that whispers in your ear wisdom that isn't from this world. He's knocking on the door of your heart. Humble yourself as other brilliant men have done and allow Him into your heart Jordan. You won't regret it.
Stfu with your own definition. You learned nothing from the video?
If you believe God have a son or a daughter or something like that, you going to hell
That's a lie
I liked Jordan Maxwell's stab at this question using Seussian "calculates eliminatus" logic. Jordan said he didn't know what/who God was, but he knew what He/God was not.
U are right
I don't like the "What". "Who" is better... What is {your name} sounds impersonal doesn't it?
God is an idea, until He dwells in your being, because you ask Him to come into your life, and be your Lord and Savior.
Yep.. I was thinking that.. 👍
God can only be known thru the onlybegotten God and that is the person of Jesus.
The question shoud be who is God.
Why?
@@felixmoyoedonmi Because he is a person. A real living being with power and will, loving you and in no way dependent on human thinking.
@erwinwinter6759 If God is a person like you and I, why is it difficult for him to just come out and show his face? Why all these endless speculations, debate, and fight over a person that should simply show up and settle all these conflicts and atrocities that are going on in his name?
@erwinwinter6759 If God is a person, why is he so secretive? Why can't he just come out of his hiding and do everyone a favor by just showing his face?
@erwinwinter6759 If God is a person, why does the Bible say that God is Spirit and that those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth?
0:57 every day is a new day .remember every day is like coming back to earth = a lifetime time is based on faith which measure = the number behind the word ❤❤❤
Words are keys my brother and sisters!!❤❤❤love faith joy
God is not a « what » but a « who »! He is a person not a thing!
How is God a person?
He is in the person as the spirit.
Jesus@@csubiraw
@@csubiraw That is what Jesus revealed to us when he chose to incarnate himself. The how is not what maters because it is like asking « how did God become God »?
We can all sit around, use our imagination to try and figure out who is god. In fact that gave way to an array of things in that regard and since creation many have giving way to all those different religions and rituals. As you can’t know me before I reveal myself to you so it is with God Jesus came to reveal Himself. What is one thing that He revealed was that there is one God but three persons The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. That He was the the Alpha and Omega.
He also came to reveal who we were. We were by Him created in the image and likeness of Him and only creature to do so. ….etc
He also revealed to us that God had a plan for us and what that plan was and why.. etc
Without His revelation we could not know any of this!
The great I am.
God is just a name, a term, a word, we use to describe what is the ultimate expression of existence, of everything that is. That which is all powerful, all knowing, everywhere and always has been and always will be. The source and sustainer of all that exists. Existence and being itself. That is what we call "God".
I would love to hear E Michael Jones and Dr. Peterson talk about logos and culture.
So in this case God would be a representation of cultural values and ideals created by societies to get along.
"WHO" is God. Not "What". Big miss, sir. Big miss.
You can ask both, but they’re different questions.
@@benjaminfoord2447 I suppose so, but I wouldn't ask someone, "What is your Mom?" I guess "what" could be respectfully employed when talking of the phenomenon of 'God'. In the same way, "What is Jivatma (individual soul).", is also not disrespectful. Or asking someone "what are you" or "who are you" in any case...but you should know ahead of time 99.9999% of people will give a bad answer. They'll answer with a description of their false egoic entity (as they see it). They answer with a description of their biology. Also, 99.9999% of people don't know their true Self and have no way to answer that question. Who's driving the bus if you never met or cared to meet the driver.
