If you lie to yourself, your subconscious knows you can’t count on yourself. Then you project that persona onto others. When you meet someone who doesn’t operate that way they will be a threat to your ego as it reflects back to you. Be your best friend. That’s support and empathy as well as critique and logic and reasoning. Baby steps Bob. We all fall short
This explains why Jordan refuses to bite his tongue in the face of controversy, even when he's got the mob looming over him. In an ideal world, we'd all operate this way, but most people will choose to protect the integrity of their livelihoods above all else, including at the expense of their own conscience.
Yeah, nah he’s more than willing to look the other way in the case of nepotism from certain groups. I appreciate the advice but he has his agenda like everybody else.
He's a good father & the Devine Father speaks through him as an excellent therapist. He is well connected to his higher self.♾️ People know truth when they hear it! We are here to learn and to grow. Cut that shame loose, heal& do better in the future. Time doesn't change people.. emotional growth does. 👏🙏
If anyone is on the fence about spending the $ to go see Dr. Peterson when he announces the next leg of his tour, probably this fall, DO IT. Go see him. There is an immediacy about getting to see him speak that you simply don’t get in these recorded lectures, much as I appreciate them and am truly truly thankful for them. When I went to see Dr. Peterson in Boston, I didn’t watch his projection on the screen. I didn’t take notes. I watched him. I did not take my eyes off him, the tall, thin, rosy-cheeked figure on the stage. And there’s no replacement for that immediacy. For the thrill when I first glimpsed him just off stage and realized he was wearing my favorite of the suit coats he wears and knew I was actually under the same roof with him. I did not want the lecture to end. And when I got to meet him after, it was like a reunion with an old dear friend and not meeting a celebrity for the first time. It’s so, so worth it. And now I miss him. But it’s so good to have someone to miss and to look forward to the next meeting. If you love Dr. Peterson, you will love going to see him. Love from Ruth Anne
I've attended three events in Southern Ontario and had mixed experiences. One was great, as you described, but in others, there was no coherent theme, and he failed to bring his disjointed points together. This was a few years ago during a tough time for him, so I'd still go again. It's always a good opportunity to meet interesting people. My point is, he is still human like you and I, so be careful not to idolize him.
@@jmaster8407 that’s cute. But Dr. Peterson knows me by name. He knew me in a crowd. And we have a professional connection in common. He and I are good, thanks just the same.
No, the physical and the online version is exactly the same, I attended one and besides the bragging rights of being there, I got the same amount of wisdom. Which is great, it means you can get as much from him without needing the money to travel.
It's pretty hard to speak out when basic honesty is censored. I get regular hate speech warnings just for telling the truth, or supporting the truth tellers. It's no wonder that people choose to go out with a bang 😢

The reason why you fail is because you are not influencing the body strongly enough with your conscious mind. You need to charge those conscious thoughts of wanting to stop with energy in order to influence the body, and to have that energy you must control your addictions. Wheter is smoking, drinking, not reacting in an emotional way, being patience with your friends or family when you feel anger. In other words, you need to produce energy limiting the needs that your body has. But you got to change your environment or the perception you have of your environment with new information. Isolation worked for me.
Or.. what usually works for the most, is that you will suffer a ton because of your personality and in that case you will generate a lot of energy that you will use to reprogram your body.. I hope you succeed in a way or the other!

"Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." Ephesians 5.15-17 Oh my God this tiny clip is profoundly striking. I've never heard of performative contradiction. So in all those decades spent working non-creative, unfulfilling positions my actions became habitual in remaining unengaged and miserable. Then resentment grew under the surface of that. It was like practicing the art of being miserable so I could keep making money. Omg! A whole lot of things happened these past few years including the opportunity to pursue my creative endeavors but also the tyrants of propaganda and 'unvaccinated concentration camp' a-holes which began slow boiling me. Along with other factors, it only took a year and I had zero work ethic or enthusiasm for anything. I had no practice in sustaining anything I desired to accomplish or felt fulfilled in doing…I mean, is that even possible? To contradict oneself like this? Unbelievable, and there's a name for it! So now I have to sort out my biological structures I've built predicated on performative contradiction. Since this means healing a violated conscience, I guess building that desirable schedule based on fun and rewarding tasks will rebuild a fulfilling work ethic structure; this would be a new psycological structure in tandem with practical action (I relegated my own desires and creative pursuits in favor of un-engaging tasks that made me miserable, that’s the only structure for work I had). I think prayer, praise and gratitude will make this possible, even though it may not come easily at first. But this should help to redeem the time, uproot the resentment and build the new work ethic structure I need. God, what a mess. Like how damn hard is it to enjoy yourself in your work?? In life? How do we get so comfortable with being so miserable? Thanks for sharing....whoever is back there behind the curtain pulling the levers....
Yes. We are all held accountable. This was challenging for me to hear because I've done things that run contrary to my sense of morality. I've been a hypocrite in my life. And my shame sometimes does way on me heavily. However, I know that I would be a much worse person without my faith in Yeshua.. In every concievable and inconvievable way.. but that doesn't change the fact that I am responsible for my actions. I've been a fool at times in my life. That's for sure. I've let myself and my God down. I am and will be reliant on His grace and mercy for salvation. Lord, come soon. Matthew 24:22 KJV - "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened."
He also supplies me rest, and joy, and wonder. He is not just a vehicle for salvation, and He is more than just a physician. He is perfect, I am pathetic. I NEED Him. If He forsakes me, I'm dead. Done. That's it. I count this video as a stern and fair warning. Thank you again.

The psychiatric and medical and religious communities have known this all along. They avail themselves of the opportunities to lecture on it from time to time with each wave of new generation who suffer through this very experience while living in the forced mammon society that all three of these institutions richly benefit from. And people pay money to go listen to them. My whole life is a lie. I worked my ass off to overcome this nightmare because I saw it coming but lo, the world still worships mammon, so justice and mercy is a nearly dry well in this fallen world.

Power corrupts people. I pray that God is merciful to those who have been reduced to merely a character in a role they never wanted and never had a real choice in opting out of. I pray for true justice to come for them to witness first hand because these two things alone hold the key to their release from their self contained isolation that has become their own prison, or sanctuary or asylum. No just and merciful God would judge harshly a heart embittered by this fallen world.

The only sin that will not be forgiven, is blasphemy against the holy spirit. Why? Because the Holy spirit is Truth. & if it is through the Truth that we are made free. Then, there is no freedom for anyone who has no willingness to repent of the evil & lies they've partaken in.
I honestly don’t want to forgive (maybe that’s for God to do)…you know, some would be damned… I mean, good luck taking the law or karma into your own hands.

So if we all go down the “Cain” road due to bitterness- why does the Bible say to leave the offspring of Cain alone 🤔 Even as far as a threat of protection for the descendants of Cain- I wonder what that metaphor stands for.
Maybe God didn't want to promote vengeance amongst mankind by murdering a murderer, cause the vengeance is of the Lord. Cain still received a few curses. The metaphor might mean that Cain represents the downside of free will and without free will man would not be able to choose and love completely. Just a point of view.
