During an interview, Tom Hardy talked about how Charlie Bronson gave him life advice. Hardy’s current girlfriend had left him and was heartbroken. Bronson said, “Tommy, remember the Floods? There was a chap who got his foot stuck and he drowned? That wouldn’t be me because I’d have said, ‘Cut it off!’ See Tommy, I’m trying to tell you, in order to achieve greatness we have to cut off a little piece of ourselves, no matter how much it hurts.” Hardy took the advice, became a great actor and would put that line in his movie Legend.
People are into that right now. And the government and corporations are the villians in the demise of most societies because they have separated themselves from being responsible. Responsible in the sense that they conditioned themselves within a narrow box of their job. We are living in a ever expanding media sites by which everyone is trying to expand their ego and ratings. Reality is the opposite. It's being ego less but you develop your awareness and character by reasoning within your environment. Capitalistic thinking constantly wants to possess your life for profit and Eventually begins to break laws and the rights of individuals. In the process of breaking people's rights the soul becomes alienated and is diminished. We rebel out of a sense of hopelessness and Its a natural inclination to do so because our brains resist stagnation or our God given right to express freedom without conflict of interest with others. One has to step away from people when they have become destructive and focus as a individual with your environment. With means relationship with being free without confrontation.
Which means relating with yourself and your immediate environment. It's a start to make one's mind to find acceptance and ruling people out of the conversation because They have become too destructive.
Tom Hardy also played Charles Bronson, the prisoner. Your comment confused me, I thought the latter advised Tom on how to portary him and said such words. Haha
I wanted to personally thank you for your consideration and kind reply. I apologize if I clumsily and unintentionally offended you. One can indeed imagine. It maybe useful and good. I myself failed when my broken, step mother abused father appeared out of no where. And I went to him in person. Even then I could see he was going through a hard time. He unintentionally made an unfortunate comment about how good our times were. So many negative thoughts and emotions welled up from a dark pit within me, I myself had never seen, were delivered by my sharp, piercing tongue. Then he disappeared again, not to be seen for nearly twenty years. Nearly twenty years was nearly enough time for healing my heart I did not needed I didn't know needed healing. He still brought up hurtful incidences colored in false nostalgia. I was ready for it. Handled it. It was a wonderful reunion before he passed away. And yes, I received and accepted his flawed wisdom. More importantly he was not allowed to disappear. Died three years later. I thank God upon every rememberance of how I failed, then succeeded in forgiveness and love. For the opportunity to fail. Opening my eyes. And finally the chance to make good of it. Stick around for your children. That is if you can. All lives will be better for it. God bless you sir.
I can relate so much to this episode. I went through a really dark time and it took very long. I felt very lost, one of the questions that would go through my mind very often was "Who am I". It was accompanied by the usual suspects like depression, anxiety and burn out on the psychological plain, and unemployment and aimlessness on the outer plain. And now it's like I am a different person remembering that old self. I felt stuck in it for many many years. I can only tell you stick through it. every renewal every rebirth takes time, but on the other end of it might be a butterfly waiting to be born. Rather than thinking something is wrong with me or I am broken, accept it as a natural process that will yield something great. Most of all reframe your past, stop thinking of all the reasons why it holds you back and see the lessons in it and that because you went through painful stuff you will become even stronger and better. Use the pain for good things, to help others for example. After you take full ownership and discarded the victim mindset, create a strong vision for what your ideal life would look like, no matter how improbable, what would you want for your happiest self?
Wow, well said!! I'm so glad you came out the other side triumphant, happy and stronger!! Maybe I'll get there someday I'm 62 years old and have been suffering for 3 years with a debilitating, relentless and EXTREMELY painful nerve condition that's over 1/2 of my body, and my pain specialist has been trying to help me with different procedures, and I'm so grateful that he hasn't given up on me, but I'm growing weary and with each procedure, I pray that it'll be the the one that works, but nothing has worked so far, and I know God hears my prayers, but I have faith that He has a plan for me and that it's on His timeline and not mine Thank you for reading my too long reply, and I'm requesting that whoever does read this will say a prayer for me or send me good vibes and wishes if you aren't a person that prays

Maybe I'll get there someday I'm 62 years old and have been suffering for 3 years with a debilitating, relentless and EXTREMELY painful nerve condition that's over 1/2 of my body, and I'm basically homebound and can't drive. Sometimes, my grandkids wanna come visit me, but I have to say "No" cuz the pain is so unbearable at times, and I don't want them to see me like that 😢 My pain specialist has been trying to help me with different procedures, and I'm so grateful that he hasn't given up on me, but I'm growing weary and with each procedure, I pray that it'll be the the one that works, but nothing has worked so far😢 I know God hears my prayers, and I have faith that He has a plan for me and that it's on His timeline and not mine Thank you for reading my too long reply, and I'm requesting that whoever does read this will say a prayer for me or send me good vibes and wishes if you aren't a person that prays
"Better the devil you know than the desert you don't" - I got chills from this. I felt those words deep in my body and soul, because I'm just so aware of how it resonates with my current life. Thank you Mr. Peterson.
I too, have been in 'the desert' for 8 years. I have found some sense of direction (over the last 5 years)as a result of listening to you Dr Peterson. Thank you for your wisdom and sense of worthwhile direction to be a better human/soul.
You’ll find many mirages on your journey trough the desert however don’t fall into temporary traps that won’t calm your thirst , aim for the ethereal God and his plan for humanity.
After my 30 year relationship unexpectedly imploded I went into shock and a deep depression which was akin to a psychological and spiritual hibernation where I had to burn off the unnecessary parts of me that were part of a couple, and reinvent and rediscover the individual me. While dormant and numb, I completed my Masters to catch up to the graduates with whom I would have to compete after 18 years a home maker, and also needed a mountain to climb to avoid sinking into self pity. I poured out my rage and fury into a journal that I kept in a safe, and slowly emerged from my cocoon a new creature - physically, emotionally and spiritually transformed. People ask how the situation did not kill me, and I told them several months before the break up, I read a book about 12 Rules that prepared me to navigate the unchartered waters of chaos and like the Invictus poem tells us, “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”🦋
@yourwifesboyfriend69 Really, why do you think so? Have you ever been cheated on, do you cheat, do you ruin already hurting, struggling marriages? Why? Are you capable of truly loving yourself and anyone else? Do you feel hurt, cheated by life? Are you honest and kind to yourself and others?🙏 do you have faith?
this happened to me. I understand this. My world imploded when I discovered my ex husband was having a years long affair. I was devastated and in the divorce lost everything we had worked for together. Home, money, car, job..everything but my child. I will never forget the feeling that I had been shattered to dust. There were no pieces of me to put back together :except for the skills of being a mother- so I just focused on that.The person I was had been annihilated, was gone, was dust. But in my emptiness, there was nothing to immediately fill the void- I was just an empty shell walking around for years and it took years to form into a human again.
I'm glad to know that you survived it, you are now probably stronger than ever. In those situations, it is also very good to exercise daily, as exercise is always helpful to the body, mind, and soul. However, beware to not push yourself to hard with it, just a little exercise daily is more than enough. It is better to do little everyday for a long period of time than to do A LOT of exercise daily but dropping it after sometime because of being over demanding with oneself.
Well said. I went through the same thing as a man. All I had left was to be a father so I focused on that. Out of all we lost, we invested in the most important thing.
Lost the love of my life just over 2 years ago. Went from drinking 1.5 litres of whiskey a daily at age 46 to total control over it, as I was able to put the power of my love for her onto myself. I’m now happy, grateful and excited to be on my new path. I still miss her a hell of a lot though. I think that pain will always exist.
Medical system...Chaos and anxiety. Desert. I can relate to those topics in such a deep way. I just wish I couldn't. Thank you Dr. Peterson for being a beacon of light amidst the fog that I find myself in and for introducing me to the work of Jonathan Pageau. What an amazing thinker. And thank you Mikhaila for your endurance and resilience. For fighting for your dad and bringing him back to us. You have all the positive traits of a mercurial figure. You are the bridge that connect us mortals to the Gods. Thank you very much. I'm a big fan of yours. Greetings from Brazil
He also teaches us that it's ok to set boundaries for unhealthy relationships even if they are family ones. Thank you, Dr. Peterson, for helping me find the strength to do so.
Dr Peterson you just hit the nail on the head. I am in a support group of women on fb that is about reinventing yourself after divorce and so many of us are struggling with exactly, exactly, what you are talking about !!! Men bolted who grabbed another woman 20 years our junior or are " now gay" and so many of us are going through what feels like an apocalypse and are completely lost and the effects of this event can last for years.
I love it when Dr. Peterson and Mikhaila team up for father daughter talks. They do a great job of getting great content out of each other and sharing a space while also holding standards for themselves as family members and portraying strong, healthy boundaries.
Love people that are passionate about what they believe in.. whether I agree with them, or not… thank you Dr Peterson! great content! God bless you and your family!
This exact thing happened to me (I didn’t know how to describe it but I had a life changing moment that made me re-evaluate everything from the ground up) and it’s made a heck of a difference. I’m literally not the person I was. I can’t claim to be living my best life, but a lot of baggage has gone. It’s an ongoing project to rebuild my world view
I had that happen to me. After a divorce that wrecked my world I ended up drinking a tone and developed a meth addiction. It sent me down a long dark lonely road for about four and a half years. I dug a deep dark hole for myself. At the bottom of that hole I turned my focus onto myself and realized just how much of my messed up life was my fault and what I had to do to change it. I turned to God. I've been clean and sober for almost four years. I married my best friend two years ago. She has been a blessing in my life.
People won't let go of tyrannical system, so even after gaining independence from British, who jailed, tortured, murdered any freedom fighters they still longed for the Raj
Yeah had it happen twice. First time was bad and I was depressed for years because of what the change did to me. I saw the world in a negative light and even myself. The second time, made me a way better person since it was me getting out of the negative mindset and basically seeing life in a more positive way. I always thought about who I was as a kid vs as a teen and now as an adult. It really does look like to me that both those figures died since I am basically a lot of what those two figures aren't anymore. And maybe even what those two figures wanted to be at the time but weren't until I basically worked on myself instead of just waiting it to come to me like magic.
You know you're a lucky person when you've been hearing from your parents the same kind of message Jordan Peterson has been transmiting (with so many details, deepness and so much quality). Thanks dad, thanks mom, love you.
I finally feel like I have an understanding of this. When you're involved in the world, when there is meaning, transformation or hope in your life that's the instinct of meaning. Or the instinct of consciousness or conscious decision. That's how you feel alive. That's how you move forward. Not hedonistic pleasure. You move forward where you find yourself in a place that manifests itself infront of you. Instinct, consciousness, and meaning all seem to be aligned .
This comment would have been basically meaningless to me about a year ago ... but after everything I just went through, after a large chunk of the dead wood of my character has recently been burned off by speaking the truth and accepting the utterly brutal consequences... you just described the exact realization that I have recently come to as well. I can't find meaning in pleasure. As nice as that would be. I need to place my foot into the unknown. I need to do it consciously or I will be forced into the unknown unconsciously and against my will and that is a very ugly, very painful experience that not only hurts me but everyone around me as well. The upside to this realization is the realization of the adventure that lies in front of me. It's a good time to be alive. Finally.
Good morning Dr professor. 4:50am Delhi time. I remember having watched your lectures for 1 hour when I was doing cardio on the treadmill. I think I am again off track with negative habits coming back. So I intend to re learn from your lectures thank you
You can always come back! Be grateful that you have a chance to come back!! I have fallen off the track. I listen to Mr. Jordon. It helped me a lot to steer my path. Even my path was unclear. Now I am in a better place. Wishes from Tamilnadu. Goodluck Kanish!
Dr. Peterson... has HELPED me understand all the chaos of my feelings and mind in this difficult world that keeps changing. Faith is knowing that we really don't have control of anything except for our own emotions of how we react.
Love it. So with chaos can come opportunity, and with order can come comfort and naivety when you expect things to always go the way you want and expect. And the idea is to create stability in your life, whilst looking to level up.
For anyone else practically-minded like me who loses the practical message in the haze of spiritual metaphor, I'll try and summarize: When a part of you "dies," because you've put it to death, there's a felt emptiness that follows. Take a recovering drug addict for example. Most of their identity up until that point was living that lifestyle. The drugs themselves, but also all of their friend groups, all psychological points of reference - what it means to feel good; what it means to feel "okay"; what it means to feel bad among other ruitinized modalities and frameworks running on learned reference points - all of these things must die. And when there isn't anything to replace them yet, you're in the "desert," a clean slate. Which is good because now you can build yourself again from scratch. But it's anxiety-provoking at the same time because if shit hits the fan, and you're lacking adaptive frames of reference to replace your dead ones, your gut instinct will attempt to call you back to the dead ways. It feels like a desert because it's unrealized potential, but you can always cop out and go back to Egypt when the chips are down. The trick is to learn how to feel alive as a desert-dweller first and then you'll find your new city. Find a new friend group, learn a skill and be as good at it as possible, seek some guidance, find and build your new self-idenity.
@@wnp67 When Jesus hung on the cross, the people was mocking Him. Taunting Him like "you said you would tear down the temple and rebuild it in three days, now look at you!". They were mocking Jesus for not doing the miracle He said He would do - WHILE HE WAS DOING IT! Sometimes it takes time. The thing you are praying for / hoping for is coming, but you want it NOW. But I believe that God won't give you anything you are not ready for and He won't do it until the time is right. Not YOUR timeline, but His. You want something new for YOU. That is the biggest error you are making. Don't make it about you, but about Him. What purpose can He use you for? Not to your own glory and praise, but for His. Your ego and self needs to die, so that Jesus can get the front seat in your life. If you do this, He will bless you beyond your wildest imagination! Because let me tell you - when He blesses you, it won't be anything like you hoped for. It is going to be thousands folds better! It is not about you at all - but since you will stand in the middle of the blessings, you too will enjoy the outcome. Trust me on this one! And when the old you dies, you won't feel empty! You will be filled to the brim and more. This is my personal belief. I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe He died on the cross and was raised the third day. He is my Lord and Savior. I am writing this based on my experiences in life. You who reads this might not believe like I do, and you might not agree with me. I respect that, and at the same time I urge you to reconsider. Think for yourself, not through others. Make up your own mind, and be VERY skeptical to what you hear. Even this text. I claim that God is perfect and everything He does thus are perfect. Man-made beliefs, whether it is in deity or in science, is inherently flawed. Imperfect. Look for what's perfect. What is logical? I'll give you a practical example: I believe that salvation comes through faith alone. Works does not save, because how many good deeds do one need to do daily? How big? Does it count if I feel good about it? Do I have to do them to anyone, or can I skip the bad folks? That's imperfect. It falls apart. But placing my salvation in faith alone, I am relying on a perfect God to save me through His grace. And He has said that who ever who believes in Him shall be saved. I hope to see you in Heaven, my friend. Because I love you, even though I don't know you! And if I love you like that, God loves you indefinitely more!
This makes me think of a few years ago. I was out of a relationship that had started getting unhealthy for both parties. And also left by long term friends. Both parties were angry or done with me and I had a huge reckoning. I always thought I was a really good person but I realize that I had ugly parts too and needed to be honest with others and myself. I tried to make some "maps" and really map out where things went so wrong and what I learned from it. And it helped. I met my boyfriend and now fiancé in the aftermath of this chaos. And we grew together and fell in love. I feel so blessed to be his partner. I believe God was trying to show me what he wanted and I was stubborn so he allowed a reckoning in my life.
All the great people are here, because they watch this type of content, and thanks to life in making so many things to our realization that there's nothing which will be stuck in Forever. Life Goes on.. And we will too... Thank you Great Souls. Have a Safe journey in this world.
PURE GENIUS Thank you JP. You stand for something truly great which most people (my self included) find it very hard to articulate. I’m so grateful for your brilliant mind and the courage it takes for you to continuously stand up and say what needs to be said. ✨🙏🏼✨
To answer her question in my own way, because I've had to rebuild my life from ground up...I found it easier to start with fulfilling the most immediate needs first, then expanding to the more complex other things.
This is very profound and insightful! I have wondered many times if I am addicted to pain and discomfort. It seems that all the choices that I make and things that I do to better myself and improve my life, I know they will lead me to feel some kind of distress. Things like leaving by myself my hometown to start a new life, or overworking, or choosing to stay true to myself instead of agreeing with everybody to fit in and be likable. Perhaps I find comfort and beauty in pain because that’s what I know and I am familiar with. Or because I have learned that in order to find peace, I have to walk toward and through distress first. Or both 😆 It’s like one, (light, peace, order, enlightenment, purpose, promised land, etc) can not exist without the other one (darkness, struggle, chaos, desert, etc) They are interdependent forces, in a very practical way. How would you know what light is if you never experienced darkness (I hope it makes sense). I love the concept behind Taoism, I ve always found it fascinating! Bless your heart Dr. Peterson!
Well said. The best times to literally witness how darkness gives way to Light is at the break of dawn. The weight of darkness that envelops your neighbourhood dissipates as the dark sky melts into lighter and yet lighter tones of what it was moments before. Light gradually comes on as the yet hidden but emerging sun makes it appearance. Without fail. Darkness will never overcome Light.
The reason that people have a tendency to continue trotting down an ill-fated path is because of the sunk cost fallacy. It's easier to convince yourself to follow the familiar than to scrap what you've already invested and start anew.
He is so right, and it can translate even into jobs and I am in this dilemma, living my bad current job with a good safe income vs quitting and getting a new job that pays less but doesn’t feel like tyranny. In the transition period without a job you may feel like the tyranny wasn’t so bad after all and develop nostalgia.
I believe that expecting life to have a grand purpose is a display of ignorance and ego. While setting goals and having a plan is essential, the purpose of life, in my view, is simply to live and experience it. Being alive and embracing life's experiences is a sufficient purpose.
This makes me cry with happiness. (That's not an analogy. I am snot-nosed right now). My father (also a professor) would talk with me in this same vein. I cannot express how much I miss him, how much I miss THIS sort of interaction... how nostalgic this makes me... it feels like coming home. Bless you both. This is the most beautiful gift.
What an absolute gift that it to have those memories with you. I have none of this with any of my parents or other elders in mt family, and as I watch this and read your comments, I realise what a gift it is to even witness. Wow. Makes one dream differently for themselves and the children I may have one day. Love to you, and your father.
@@vuyissecretgarden Thank you!! Yes. I have been SO BLESSED! But it took me years to realize just how lucky, how blessed I was/I am (both parents are physically gone now, but I feel them around me and I LOVE that! I feel their love, their affection for me). Also (nothing is ever simple), my father was bi-polar. So, there were times I would sit there and think "You need to die right now." because he COULD be unbearable (and I have those same genes in me, so... I have to really look at my own behaviours. I REALLY try to be ruthlessly honest, with myself and others, about MY behaviour). People are COMPLICATED. The challenge is to treasure ALL of it. All the different shades. I know my father suffered from horrible depression, which affected every relationship in his life. (I have that too). What I miss and cannot find anywhere else (thus far) is his brilliant intellect which, LIKE JORDAN PETERSON, was very much attached to his 'feeling body'/his emotions/his heart. Because, there are hundreds of men with superiour intellects. Hundreds and thousands. What makes JP stand out (and made my father also), is the umbilical cord between his heart and his mind. He NEVER forgets that the Heart is the superiour. The mind works for the Heart, or should do. I believe JP works diligently at keeping a balance between the two... and uppermost, it seems to me, is his allegiance to Truth. Thank you for your comment! You make me even more cognizant of my luck! And, even if you didn't have this in your family, the fact that YOU ARE HERE, listening to JP, means that you long for this sort of deep cerebral/heart connection! Never give up the search for that! And tell God/The Universe that THAT is what you need!! Blessings!
Best life is when you realize there is another place you'd rather be (with God, Jesus and the saints in the everlasting earth/heaven = my hope) and while you wait on getting there (earth is the desert and first life) you do what you can to make where you are the best and love everyone you can by shedding light hope and peace. We all will cross over and die the first death... The second death / caos is for those who did not get the HOPE part of this life... You can live in joy in this life with the Hope that comes only through Gods' son Jesus... Thanks Jordan for all your work and keep going strong - love the Biblical series - that's the knowledge and wisdom we truly need...
Jodan must be so proud to be able to have conversations like this with his daughter and her be genuinely interested, And she is so beautiful could be Mrs Canada
Dr. Peterson looks so much healthier now that he has a support system around him. Getting involved with the Ben Shapiro and The Daily wire crew has really freed him to be the teacher he wants to be.
thank you so much for your incredible contribution to my life and i know to millions and millions of lives around the world. thank you for doing the work to get you there and we can learn from that. thank you
That was great! Using Exodus and symbolism, I think it’s fairly easy to apply the general ego death and divine rebirth metaphor. It’s also the crucifix, followed by the resurrection and transfiguration symbolism… When the false self, the ego, the Israelites, in the desert, or the worldly self-identity is destroyed, after a period of hell, or unknown, divine order is revealed. The Commandments, the transfiguration, the ascension, etc.. So basically, the larval stage of the childhood ego has to be destroyed or transfigured into the butterfly of our spiritual, adult self.
What a beautiful smart family .it inspires me to rise above and also to try the diet .my brother is on the carnivore diet and swears by it and I see that it works .
He is speaking gibberish so you can interpret what he is saying any way you wish. Such speech does not work on a high IQ individual - got something to say then just say it. Tried reading the Bible and I tried reading the Koran. Both are gibberish. When I speak to a biblical type scholar about this they suggested I read the interpretations. So I did. I read the passage then I read the interpretation side by side. They were nothing at all similar. For this reason I found the interpretations also full of gibberish. Also for this reason I question the sanity of those that claim to have read these books because if I cannot understand what it is saying then there is no way you can either. That means you religious types are just waffling your way through. Bullshitting your way through. You got no idea what these books say. No way you are smarter than me. If I dont get it then you dont get it either. Let us see old man Peterson address this - guaranteed he will not.
"Better the devil you know than the desert you don't..." Wow, the wisdom from the statement on how the Jews have shortchanged themselves in the story is so liberating, and inhibitions to venture into the unknown and try something new just melt away.
Where I have lived in Portugal, somehow all the traps in the maze have been hidden since I am (if I ever existed, ego view), and of course these were there and meant for me and no one else (present awareness forming). In this sense, the moon, the sun and the stars are just... (sigh) "high and spatially untangible" at least in the ego concept. It's going to be a cosmic ride to cover and embrace all the existing myths in that maze. Kindly Obrigado Mr and Mrs.
A beautiful pair of minds. Icing on the metaphysical cake : A Daugher who understood the brilliance and value of her father, long before MOST people do..
I always wonder about something that you talk about in other videos Jordan. You talk about children that are not properly socialised as children, then go through adulthood unable to recover from it. For a child that wasn't well socialised and has had difficulties keeping friends for any long period of time, what would be the way forward for them?
It’s lovely to see her back 0:10 which piece exactly? ‘Ego death’ as it’s referred to or what I refer to as soul shards? 0:30 men have a tendency to over exaggerate size then don’t they? 0:50 being lost is my favorite game 0:55 Stockholm syndrome 1:25 what if the oasis wasn’t a mirage? 2:00 …. Big if, the people could grasp object impermanence, then the idea of a set lifestyle based on a linear path would disintegrate, but I digress, it’s smt I’m working on rolling out. 2:15 yeah waking up to the fact it was all a lie can be brutal 2:40 exploratory capacity OR in women’s terms, intuition 2:50 niche, niche, niche 4:30 and I believe I’ve alluded to this already if not said it outright but, what if everyone is right, all the time? Meaning, what if we are all clambering towards or highest attainment? That which is god? What if there is no wrong, only partially correct? It was a subtle yet fundamental mind shift which changed my life and so to the course of history. 4:42 god is alive 5:13 would be like niche to do that thing you do and burr ur skeptical heels into someone to turn them around, right? My, um, thing, is not dissimilar. I did the rest but a slip of the algorithm and I stopped keeping up and I was anyways, you petered off at the end no pun intended and I’m late to check on my meal but I’ve got that torch securely in hand no worries mate. It was a long time ago and we really should talk
It's true that dying and coming back to life require time.. when I think of dying to oneself I think of Jeshua dying and resurrecting "3 Days" later. It didn't just happen quickly, there was a process of "3 days"in hell that Jeshua had to undertake.. To think it took 3 grueling days of hell to resurrect can only mean that rising again not only requires walking through the desert and/or dying to oneself but a necessary transformative process that eventually leads us to the promised land of resurrection and self awakening. . +E
my wife says: "He speaks truth in a way anyone can understand. His use of illustrations and stories bring the points home. Also, I fail to understand a small point: His daughter's ideas could be taken even more seriously if she were not dressed provocatively as if she's going to the disco party after the interview."
I've been lied to my whole life... 3 older step brothers 1 younger step sister... gaslighting scapegoating, etc. by covert narcissism... continued into 3 marriages... finally understanding and learning after 59 yrs old
I'm going to be 51, Mr Peterson, and about over 30 years of my life, I've squandered everything. I remember going out to party with my friends as my older brother used to study. Never gave it much thought. Now I do nothing but stay in my room. And watch RUclips in my mother's apartment building. And not one will come near. There is a lot of weeping and knashing of the teeth. I went to try and get better, but as the lunatics are running the asylum, I didn't trust I'd make it out alive. Probably would have been better to stay. Better dead than in this darkness. Sorry for the sad story.
@lono11261 Jesus Christ saved me from depression and misery when He pulled me out of the world and unequivocally proved His existence to me. There will be a Tsunami that hits NYC on November 7th at precisely 2:02:17pm ET to kick off tribulation period. When it does give your life to Jesus.
At some point we have to put the past in it’s coffin and bury it. There is no regret, guilt or sorrow that changes the past. I’ve been learning that lesson in my 70’s. Live now and set a goal for tomorrow.
You know, the exciting part is when you can get over the nostalgia for the tyranny. The desert can be thought of as a period that's very negative, but let's reframe it for a second: it's the possibility of creating something new, a renewed purpose. If you're still in desert, keep going.
Thank you for expressing that so well. I’ve experienced that for years and I was so thankful even for the desert and the suffering. You appreciate the journey, the realization of where you were and the wonderfulness of where you have arrived.
Sometimes it’s all a person can do is start again. Sometimes there isn’t a choice. What are you going to do? Just live in limbo? Many people in their retirement years develop a different skill that is still productive.

During an interview, Tom Hardy talked about how Charlie Bronson gave him life advice. Hardy’s current girlfriend had left him and was heartbroken. Bronson said, “Tommy, remember the Floods? There was a chap who got his foot stuck and he drowned? That wouldn’t be me because I’d have said, ‘Cut it off!’ See Tommy, I’m trying to tell you, in order to achieve greatness we have to cut off a little piece of ourselves, no matter how much it hurts.” Hardy took the advice, became a great actor and would put that line in his movie Legend.
“… no matter how much it hurts, in order to grow; in order to move on.”
Finished it for you mate👌🏾.

People are into that right now. And the government and corporations are the villians in the demise of most societies because they have separated themselves from being responsible. Responsible in the sense that they conditioned themselves within a narrow box of their job. We are living in a ever expanding media sites by which everyone is trying to expand their ego and ratings. Reality is the opposite. It's being ego less but you develop your awareness and character by reasoning within your environment. Capitalistic thinking constantly wants to possess your life for profit and Eventually begins to break laws and the rights of individuals. In the process of breaking people's rights the soul becomes alienated and is diminished. We rebel out of a sense of hopelessness and Its a natural inclination to do so because our brains resist stagnation or our God given right to express freedom without conflict of interest with others. One has to step away from people when they have become destructive and focus as a individual with your environment. With means relationship with being free without confrontation.
Which means relating with yourself and your immediate environment. It's a start to make one's mind to find acceptance and ruling people out of the conversation because They have become too destructive.
Tom Hardy also played Charles Bronson, the prisoner. Your comment confused me, I thought the latter advised Tom on how to portary him and said such words. Haha
Imagine having these kinds of conversations - with your father.
Absolutely captivating.
That's one heck of a brilliant mind.
And for this kind of conversations you need two bright minds and open minds.

@@flashwashington2735 My dad died when I was 2, my mom was never talkative.
I assume that’s what made me yearn for an experience like this.
I wanted to personally thank you for your consideration and kind reply. I apologize if I clumsily and unintentionally offended you. One can indeed imagine. It maybe useful and good.
I myself failed when my broken, step mother abused father appeared out of no where. And I went to him in person. Even then I could see he was going through a hard time. He unintentionally made an unfortunate comment about how good our times were. So many negative thoughts and emotions welled up from a dark pit within me, I myself had never seen, were delivered by my sharp, piercing tongue.
Then he disappeared again, not to be seen for nearly twenty years. Nearly twenty years was nearly enough time for healing my heart I did not needed I didn't know needed healing. He still brought up hurtful incidences colored in false nostalgia. I was ready for it. Handled it. It was a wonderful reunion before he passed away. And yes, I received and accepted his flawed wisdom.
More importantly he was not allowed to disappear. Died three years later. I thank God upon every rememberance of how I failed, then succeeded in forgiveness and love. For the opportunity to fail. Opening my eyes. And finally the chance to make good of it.
Stick around for your children. That is if you can. All lives will be better for it. God bless you sir.
I can relate so much to this episode. I went through a really dark time and it took very long. I felt very lost, one of the questions that would go through my mind very often was "Who am I". It was accompanied by the usual suspects like depression, anxiety and burn out on the psychological plain, and unemployment and aimlessness on the outer plain.
And now it's like I am a different person remembering that old self. I felt stuck in it for many many years.
I can only tell you stick through it. every renewal every rebirth takes time, but on the other end of it might be a butterfly waiting to be born. Rather than thinking something is wrong with me or I am broken, accept it as a natural process that will yield something great.
Most of all reframe your past, stop thinking of all the reasons why it holds you back and see the lessons in it and that because you went through painful stuff you will become even stronger and better. Use the pain for good things, to help others for example.
After you take full ownership and discarded the victim mindset, create a strong vision for what your ideal life would look like, no matter how improbable, what would you want for your happiest self?

After my 30 year relationship unexpectedly imploded I went into shock and a deep depression which was akin to a psychological and spiritual hibernation where I had to burn off the unnecessary parts of me that were part of a couple, and reinvent and rediscover the individual me. While dormant and numb, I completed my Masters to catch up to the graduates with whom I would have to compete after 18 years a home maker, and also needed a mountain to climb to avoid sinking into self pity. I poured out my rage and fury into a journal that I kept in a safe, and slowly emerged from my cocoon a new creature - physically, emotionally and spiritually transformed. People ask how the situation did not kill me, and I told them several months before the break up, I read a book about 12 Rules that prepared me to navigate the unchartered waters of chaos and like the Invictus poem tells us, “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.”🦋
It is faith and love that saves and wisely navigates the little minds of (hu)man.😊
So many people crying about just getting cheated on have never had real struggles
@yourwifesboyfriend69 Really, why do you think so? Have you ever been cheated on, do you cheat, do you ruin already hurting, struggling marriages?
Why? Are you capable of truly loving yourself and anyone else? Do you feel hurt, cheated by life? Are you honest and kind to yourself and others?🙏 do you have faith?
So amazing to see how he loves teaching, even his daughter, and how she gives him room when he gets going, heartwarming
this happened to me. I understand this. My world imploded when I discovered my ex husband was having a years long affair. I was devastated and in the divorce lost everything we had worked for together. Home, money, car, job..everything but my child. I will never forget the feeling that I had been shattered to dust. There were no pieces of me to put back together :except for the skills of being a mother- so I just focused on that.The person I was had been annihilated, was gone, was dust. But in my emptiness, there was nothing to immediately fill the void- I was just an empty shell walking around for years and it took years to form into a human again.
Awesome, well done ❤
Thanks for sharing 😢❤
I'm glad to know that you survived it, you are now probably stronger than ever. In those situations, it is also very good to exercise daily, as exercise is always helpful to the body, mind, and soul. However, beware to not push yourself to hard with it, just a little exercise daily is more than enough. It is better to do little everyday for a long period of time than to do A LOT of exercise daily but dropping it after sometime because of being over demanding with oneself.
Well said. I went through the same thing as a man. All I had left was to be a father so I focused on that. Out of all we lost, we invested in the most important thing.
Wow well done for coming through, betrayal is the ultimate cowardice and you are the stronger.
Lost the love of my life just over 2 years ago. Went from drinking 1.5 litres of whiskey a daily at age 46 to total control over it, as I was able to put the power of my love for her onto myself. I’m now happy, grateful and excited to be on my new path. I still miss her a hell of a lot though. I think that pain will always exist.
Medical system...Chaos and anxiety. Desert. I can relate to those topics in such a deep way. I just wish I couldn't.
Thank you Dr. Peterson for being a beacon of light amidst the fog that I find myself in and for introducing me to the work of Jonathan Pageau. What an amazing thinker.
And thank you Mikhaila for your endurance and resilience. For fighting for your dad and bringing him back to us. You have all the positive traits of a mercurial figure. You are the bridge that connect us mortals to the Gods. Thank you very much.
I'm a big fan of yours. Greetings from Brazil
He also teaches us that it's ok to set boundaries for unhealthy relationships even if they are family ones.
Thank you, Dr. Peterson, for helping me find the strength to do so.
Dr Peterson you just hit the nail on the head. I am in a support group of women on fb that is about reinventing yourself after divorce and so many of us are struggling with exactly, exactly, what you are talking about !!! Men bolted who grabbed another woman 20 years our junior or are " now gay" and so many of us are going through what feels like an apocalypse and are completely lost and the effects of this event can last for years.
I love it when Dr. Peterson and Mikhaila team up for father daughter talks. They do a great job of getting great content out of each other and sharing a space while also holding standards for themselves as family members and portraying strong, healthy boundaries.

Love people that are passionate about what they believe in.. whether I agree with them, or not… thank you Dr Peterson! great content! God bless you and your family!
This exact thing happened to me (I didn’t know how to describe it but I had a life changing moment that made me re-evaluate everything from the ground up) and it’s made a heck of a difference. I’m literally not the person I was. I can’t claim to be living my best life, but a lot of baggage has gone. It’s an ongoing project to rebuild my world view
I had that happen to me. After a divorce that wrecked my world I ended up drinking a tone and developed a meth addiction. It sent me down a long dark lonely road for about four and a half years. I dug a deep dark hole for myself. At the bottom of that hole I turned my focus onto myself and realized just how much of my messed up life was my fault and what I had to do to change it. I turned to God. I've been clean and sober for almost four years. I married my best friend two years ago. She has been a blessing in my life.
People won't let go of tyrannical system, so even after gaining independence from British, who jailed, tortured, murdered any freedom fighters they still longed for the Raj
@@robertlabelle9977❤
Yeah had it happen twice. First time was bad and I was depressed for years because of what the change did to me. I saw the world in a negative light and even myself. The second time, made me a way better person since it was me getting out of the negative mindset and basically seeing life in a more positive way. I always thought about who I was as a kid vs as a teen and now as an adult. It really does look like to me that both those figures died since I am basically a lot of what those two figures aren't anymore. And maybe even what those two figures wanted to be at the time but weren't until I basically worked on myself instead of just waiting it to come to me like magic.

Nostalgia for something that was bad for you. That hits me. Shows me we are more afraid of the unknown ahead.❤
You know you're a lucky person when you've been hearing from your parents the same kind of message Jordan Peterson has been transmiting (with so many details, deepness and so much quality). Thanks dad, thanks mom, love you.
I finally feel like I have an understanding of this. When you're involved in the world, when there is meaning, transformation or hope in your life that's the instinct of meaning. Or the instinct of consciousness or conscious decision. That's how you feel alive. That's how you move forward. Not hedonistic pleasure. You move forward where you find yourself in a place that manifests itself infront of you. Instinct, consciousness, and meaning all seem to be aligned .
This comment would have been basically meaningless to me about a year ago ... but after everything I just went through, after a large chunk of the dead wood of my character has recently been burned off by speaking the truth and accepting the utterly brutal consequences... you just described the exact realization that I have recently come to as well. I can't find meaning in pleasure. As nice as that would be. I need to place my foot into the unknown. I need to do it consciously or I will be forced into the unknown unconsciously and against my will and that is a very ugly, very painful experience that not only hurts me but everyone around me as well. The upside to this realization is the realization of the adventure that lies in front of me. It's a good time to be alive. Finally.

Good morning Dr professor.
4:50am Delhi time.
I remember having watched your lectures for 1 hour when I was doing cardio on the treadmill. I think I am again off track with negative habits coming back. So I intend to re learn from your lectures thank you
You can always come back! Be grateful that you have a chance to come back!! I have fallen off the track. I listen to Mr. Jordon. It helped me a lot to steer my path. Even my path was unclear. Now I am in a better place. Wishes from Tamilnadu. Goodluck Kanish!
@charukrish5493 Same here as well. JP has helped get through tough times and is still helping. Greetings from TN here as well!
Bless you, sir. Best wishes from NC!
Dr. Peterson... has HELPED me understand all the chaos of my feelings and mind in this difficult world that keeps changing. Faith is knowing that we really don't have control of anything except for our own emotions of how we react.
Love it. So with chaos can come opportunity, and with order can come comfort and naivety when you expect things to always go the way you want and expect. And the idea is to create stability in your life, whilst looking to level up.
For anyone else practically-minded like me who loses the practical message in the haze of spiritual metaphor, I'll try and summarize:
When a part of you "dies," because you've put it to death, there's a felt emptiness that follows. Take a recovering drug addict for example. Most of their identity up until that point was living that lifestyle. The drugs themselves, but also all of their friend groups, all psychological points of reference - what it means to feel good; what it means to feel "okay"; what it means to feel bad among other ruitinized modalities and frameworks running on learned reference points - all of these things must die. And when there isn't anything to replace them yet, you're in the "desert," a clean slate.
Which is good because now you can build yourself again from scratch. But it's anxiety-provoking at the same time because if shit hits the fan, and you're lacking adaptive frames of reference to replace your dead ones, your gut instinct will attempt to call you back to the dead ways. It feels like a desert because it's unrealized potential, but you can always cop out and go back to Egypt when the chips are down. The trick is to learn how to feel alive as a desert-dweller first and then you'll find your new city. Find a new friend group, learn a skill and be as good at it as possible, seek some guidance, find and build your new self-idenity.

@@wnp67 When Jesus hung on the cross, the people was mocking Him. Taunting Him like "you said you would tear down the temple and rebuild it in three days, now look at you!". They were mocking Jesus for not doing the miracle He said He would do - WHILE HE WAS DOING IT!
Sometimes it takes time. The thing you are praying for / hoping for is coming, but you want it NOW. But I believe that God won't give you anything you are not ready for and He won't do it until the time is right. Not YOUR timeline, but His. You want something new for YOU. That is the biggest error you are making. Don't make it about you, but about Him. What purpose can He use you for? Not to your own glory and praise, but for His.
Your ego and self needs to die, so that Jesus can get the front seat in your life. If you do this, He will bless you beyond your wildest imagination! Because let me tell you - when He blesses you, it won't be anything like you hoped for. It is going to be thousands folds better! It is not about you at all - but since you will stand in the middle of the blessings, you too will enjoy the outcome. Trust me on this one!
And when the old you dies, you won't feel empty! You will be filled to the brim and more.
This is my personal belief. I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe He died on the cross and was raised the third day. He is my Lord and Savior. I am writing this based on my experiences in life. You who reads this might not believe like I do, and you might not agree with me. I respect that, and at the same time I urge you to reconsider. Think for yourself, not through others. Make up your own mind, and be VERY skeptical to what you hear. Even this text. I claim that God is perfect and everything He does thus are perfect. Man-made beliefs, whether it is in deity or in science, is inherently flawed. Imperfect. Look for what's perfect. What is logical?
I'll give you a practical example: I believe that salvation comes through faith alone. Works does not save, because how many good deeds do one need to do daily? How big? Does it count if I feel good about it? Do I have to do them to anyone, or can I skip the bad folks?
That's imperfect. It falls apart. But placing my salvation in faith alone, I am relying on a perfect God to save me through His grace. And He has said that who ever who believes in Him shall be saved.
I hope to see you in Heaven, my friend. Because I love you, even though I don't know you! And if I love you like that, God loves you indefinitely more!

That's a profound statement - that 'people don't realise that being lost is preferable to being subjected to tyranny.' Befitting for our times.
What a mind, what a blessing for humanity
This makes me think of a few years ago. I was out of a relationship that had started getting unhealthy for both parties. And also left by long term friends. Both parties were angry or done with me and I had a huge reckoning. I always thought I was a really good person but I realize that I had ugly parts too and needed to be honest with others and myself. I tried to make some "maps" and really map out where things went so wrong and what I learned from it. And it helped. I met my boyfriend and now fiancé in the aftermath of this chaos. And we grew together and fell in love. I feel so blessed to be his partner. I believe God was trying to show me what he wanted and I was stubborn so he allowed a reckoning in my life.
All the great people are here, because they watch this type of content, and thanks to life in making so many things to our realization that there's nothing which will be stuck in Forever.

Thank you Great Souls. Have a Safe journey in this world.
PURE GENIUS Thank you JP. You stand for something truly great which most people (my self included) find it very hard to articulate. I’m so grateful for your brilliant mind and the courage it takes for you to continuously stand up and say what needs to be said. ✨🙏🏼✨
To answer her question in my own way, because I've had to rebuild my life from ground up...I found it easier to start with fulfilling the most immediate needs first, then expanding to the more complex other things.
This is very profound and insightful! I have wondered many times if I am addicted to pain and discomfort. It seems that all the choices that I make and things that I do to better myself and improve my life, I know they will lead me to feel some kind of distress. Things like leaving by myself my hometown to start a new life, or overworking, or choosing to stay true to myself instead of agreeing with everybody to fit in and be likable. Perhaps I find comfort and beauty in pain because that’s what I know and I am familiar with. Or because I have learned that in order to find peace, I have to walk toward and through distress first. Or both 😆 It’s like one, (light, peace, order, enlightenment, purpose, promised land, etc) can not exist without the other one (darkness, struggle, chaos, desert, etc) They are interdependent forces, in a very practical way. How would you know what light is if you never experienced darkness (I hope it makes sense). I love the concept behind Taoism, I ve always found it fascinating! Bless your heart Dr. Peterson!
Well said. The best times to literally witness how darkness gives way to Light is at the break of dawn. The weight of darkness that envelops your neighbourhood dissipates as the dark sky melts into lighter and yet lighter tones of what it was moments before. Light gradually comes on as the yet hidden but emerging sun makes it appearance. Without fail. Darkness will never overcome Light.
The reason that people have a tendency to continue trotting down an ill-fated path is because of the sunk cost fallacy. It's easier to convince yourself to follow the familiar than to scrap what you've already invested and start anew.
THE REAL STATEMENT. Super intelligent,handsome, sentitive,wealthy, and he has STYLE. New suits rock Doc.
He is so right, and it can translate even into jobs and I am in this dilemma, living my bad current job with a good safe income vs quitting and getting a new job that pays less but doesn’t feel like tyranny. In the transition period without a job you may feel like the tyranny wasn’t so bad after all and develop nostalgia.
Dr. P I enjoy how break down the clinical aspects of anxiety and beliefs. How this can cause a person to go back to 9kd beliefs. Well done
You always seem to have the answer to the question on my mind. I appreciate your perspective, thank you.
I believe that expecting life to have a grand purpose is a display of ignorance and ego. While setting goals and having a plan is essential, the purpose of life, in my view, is simply to live and experience it. Being alive and embracing life's experiences is a sufficient purpose.
That transition to a fully gray head is nearly complete!
Now he does look like the ancient philosophers

What a beautiful interaction between father and daughter.
This makes me cry with happiness. (That's not an analogy. I am snot-nosed right now). My father (also a professor) would talk with me in this same vein. I cannot express how much I miss him, how much I miss THIS sort of interaction... how nostalgic this makes me... it feels like coming home. Bless you both. This is the most beautiful gift.
What an absolute gift that it to have those memories with you. I have none of this with any of my parents or other elders in mt family, and as I watch this and read your comments, I realise what a gift it is to even witness. Wow. Makes one dream differently for themselves and the children I may have one day. Love to you, and your father.
@@vuyissecretgarden Thank you!! Yes. I have been SO BLESSED! But it took me years to realize just how lucky, how blessed I was/I am (both parents are physically gone now, but I feel them around me and I LOVE that! I feel their love, their affection for me). Also (nothing is ever simple), my father was bi-polar. So, there were times I would sit there and think "You need to die right now." because he COULD be unbearable (and I have those same genes in me, so... I have to really look at my own behaviours. I REALLY try to be ruthlessly honest, with myself and others, about MY behaviour).
People are COMPLICATED. The challenge is to treasure ALL of it. All the different shades. I know my father suffered from horrible depression, which affected every relationship in his life. (I have that too).
What I miss and cannot find anywhere else (thus far) is his brilliant intellect which, LIKE JORDAN PETERSON, was very much attached to his 'feeling body'/his emotions/his heart. Because, there are hundreds of men with superiour intellects. Hundreds and thousands. What makes JP stand out (and made my father also), is the umbilical cord between his heart and his mind. He NEVER forgets that the Heart is the superiour. The mind works for the Heart, or should do.
I believe JP works diligently at keeping a balance between the two... and uppermost, it seems to me, is his allegiance to Truth.
Thank you for your comment! You make me even more cognizant of my luck! And, even if you didn't have this in your family, the fact that YOU ARE HERE, listening to JP, means that you long for this sort of deep cerebral/heart connection! Never give up the search for that! And tell God/The Universe that THAT is what you need!! Blessings!
Thankyou for sharing this conversation, it is so helpful, what a blessing to be able to have access to this content and the ideas covered here 💕🙏🏽
Thank you Dr. Peterson. I'll try my best to utilize this information
Excellent clip! So rich in knowledge & it was wonderful to receive it. Thanks you Peterson family.
Best life is when you realize there is another place you'd rather be (with God, Jesus and the saints in the everlasting earth/heaven = my hope) and while you wait on getting there (earth is the desert and first life) you do what you can to make where you are the best and love everyone you can by shedding light hope and peace. We all will cross over and die the first death... The second death / caos is for those who did not get the HOPE part of this life... You can live in joy in this life with the Hope that comes only through Gods' son Jesus... Thanks Jordan for all your work and keep going strong - love the Biblical series - that's the knowledge and wisdom we truly need...
Jodan must be so proud to be able to have conversations like this with his daughter and her be genuinely interested, And she is so beautiful could be Mrs Canada
Dr. Peterson looks so much healthier now that he has a support system around him. Getting involved with the Ben Shapiro and The Daily wire crew has really freed him to be the teacher he wants to be.
thank you so much for your incredible contribution to my life and i know to millions and millions of lives around the world. thank you for doing the work to get you there and we can learn from that. thank you
That was great! Using Exodus and symbolism, I think it’s fairly easy to apply the general ego death and divine rebirth metaphor. It’s also the crucifix, followed by the resurrection and transfiguration symbolism…
When the false self, the ego, the Israelites, in the desert, or the worldly self-identity is destroyed, after a period of hell, or unknown, divine order is revealed. The Commandments, the transfiguration, the ascension, etc..
So basically, the larval stage of the childhood ego has to be destroyed or transfigured into the butterfly of our spiritual, adult self.
What a beautiful smart family .it inspires me to rise above and also to try the diet .my brother is on the carnivore diet and swears by it and I see that it works .
So profound. Incredible. Every word of his makes you think and ponder about the underlying meaning of what he just uttered.
He is speaking gibberish so you can interpret what he is saying any way you wish.
Such speech does not work on a high IQ individual - got something to say then just say it.
Tried reading the Bible and I tried reading the Koran. Both are gibberish. When I speak to a biblical type scholar about this they suggested I read the interpretations. So I did. I read the passage then I read the interpretation side by side. They were nothing at all similar. For this reason I found the interpretations also full of gibberish. Also for this reason I question the sanity of those that claim to have read these books because if I cannot understand what it is saying then there is no way you can either. That means you religious types are just waffling your way through. Bullshitting your way through. You got no idea what these books say.
No way you are smarter than me. If I dont get it then you dont get it either.
Let us see old man Peterson address this - guaranteed he will not.
"Better the devil you know than the desert you don't..." Wow, the wisdom from the statement on how the Jews have shortchanged themselves in the story is so liberating, and inhibitions to venture into the unknown and try something new just melt away.
Thank you again for your great work this beautiful journey is turning into a wonderful adventure thanks too God and the Peterson family
Where I have lived in Portugal, somehow all the traps in the maze have been hidden since I am (if I ever existed, ego view), and of course these were there and meant for me and no one else (present awareness forming).
In this sense, the moon, the sun and the stars are just... (sigh) "high and spatially untangible" at least in the ego concept.
It's going to be a cosmic ride to cover and embrace all the existing myths in that maze.

I always wonder about something that you talk about in other videos Jordan. You talk about children that are not properly socialised as children, then go through adulthood unable to recover from it. For a child that wasn't well socialised and has had difficulties keeping friends for any long period of time, what would be the way forward for them?

0:30 men have a tendency to over exaggerate size then don’t they?
0:50 being lost is my favorite game
0:55 Stockholm syndrome
1:25 what if the oasis wasn’t a mirage?
2:00 …. Big if, the people could grasp object impermanence, then the idea of a set lifestyle based on a linear path would disintegrate, but I digress, it’s smt I’m working on rolling out.
2:15 yeah waking up to the fact it was all a lie can be brutal
2:40 exploratory capacity OR in women’s terms, intuition
2:50 niche, niche, niche
4:30 and I believe I’ve alluded to this already if not said it outright but, what if everyone is right, all the time?
Meaning, what if we are all clambering towards or highest attainment? That which is god?
What if there is no wrong, only partially correct? It was a subtle yet fundamental mind shift which changed my life and so to the course of history.
4:42 god is alive
5:13 would be like niche to do that thing you do and burr ur skeptical heels into someone to turn them around, right? My, um, thing, is not dissimilar.
I did the rest but a slip of the algorithm and I stopped keeping up and I was anyways, you petered off at the end no pun intended and I’m late to check on my meal but I’ve got that torch securely in hand no worries mate. It was a long time ago and we really should talk
It’s going by the divine feminine these days
Like Mikhaila, I too lost all trust in the medical system. Its pretty sad when such things happen.
But good if said system is basically out to feed you sick and leach on you.
It's true that dying and coming back to life require time.. when I think of dying to oneself I think of Jeshua dying and resurrecting "3 Days" later. It didn't just happen quickly, there was a process of "3 days"in hell that Jeshua had to undertake.. To think it took 3 grueling days of hell to resurrect can only mean that rising again not only requires walking through the desert and/or dying to oneself but a necessary transformative process that eventually leads us to the promised land of resurrection and self awakening. . +E
Loved your lecture about the History of 4 God´s of Egypt even further expanding about the same subject
my wife says: "He speaks truth in a way anyone can understand. His use of illustrations and stories bring the points home. Also, I fail to understand a small point: His daughter's ideas could be taken even more seriously if she were not dressed provocatively as if she's going to the disco party after the interview."
If I’m being honest, I too am distracted by her wardrobe.
It would be awesome too sit down have dinner with the Peterson family and a lovely and intellectual conversation
Love these two together. They both look fantastic.
TY always.
I wish this man spoke at my local church. I’ve learned much from him about the Bible.
Más que lo demás , increíblemente acertado , que increíble trabajo de padre e hija . Felicidades
Very enlightening and helpful.
_"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me ..."_
Galatians 2:20a
Kierkegaard had a very similar observation about meaning being found between two types of despair, that of possibility and that of necessity.
I've been lied to my whole life... 3 older step brothers 1 younger step sister... gaslighting scapegoating, etc. by covert narcissism... continued into 3 marriages... finally understanding and learning after 59 yrs old
Patterns I'm suppose to change after that long!
Agree that getting lost in the desert could take a long time, and sometimes past your years on earth.
I'm going to be 51, Mr Peterson, and about over 30 years of my life, I've squandered everything. I remember going out to party with my friends as my older brother used to study. Never gave it much thought. Now I do nothing but stay in my room. And watch RUclips in my mother's apartment building. And not one will come near. There is a lot of weeping and knashing of the teeth. I went to try and get better, but as the lunatics are running the asylum, I didn't trust I'd make it out alive. Probably would have been better to stay. Better dead than in this darkness. Sorry for the sad story.
You can survive this, Chief. Just try.
@labilawal I'm still here watching and reading anything that'll keep me above water. Thank you
@lono11261 Jesus Christ saved me from depression and misery when He pulled me out of the world and unequivocally proved His existence to me. There will be a Tsunami that hits NYC on November 7th at precisely 2:02:17pm ET to kick off tribulation period. When it does give your life to Jesus.

At some point we have to put the past in it’s coffin and bury it. There is no regret, guilt or sorrow that changes the past. I’ve been learning that lesson in my 70’s. Live now and set a goal for tomorrow.
Great interview. Also, per usual, phenomenal suit 👌🏾
Hey, JP. Talk about how your spiritual biblical apprenticeship is going. Really curious ❤
Thank you Jordan , your relationship with your daughter is something i wish i had with mine.
What happened to Mikhaila's face?
Absolutely brilliant
You know, the exciting part is when you can get over the nostalgia for the tyranny. The desert can be thought of as a period that's very negative, but let's reframe it for a second: it's the possibility of creating something new, a renewed purpose. If you're still in desert, keep going.
Thank you for expressing that so well. I’ve experienced that for years and I was so thankful even for the desert and the suffering. You appreciate the journey, the realization of where you were and the wonderfulness of where you have arrived.
Start running now and just keep on running Mikhaila
Sometimes it’s all a person can do is start again. Sometimes there isn’t a choice. What are you going to do? Just live in limbo? Many people in their retirement years develop a different skill that is still productive.
Where to find the whole episode
All the best to you and your family
The best way is to assume that you are a soul having a human experience, so have fun surfing all kinds of believe systems.
Love your interaction and references to the Bible.
I agree the medical system collapse in my mind when I had my illness.
I am 37 and starting again. It's possible.
I aspire to be like you. 🙌🏼
You don’t see father and daughter on camera often. Beautiful.
You must be proud that you're daughter of greatest man alive today Mr Peterson seer genius 🙏
De acuerdo con el desarrollo, parece fácil, pero q difícil es vivirlo cuando te ocurre a ti personalmente en tu vida...pase mi desierto , esta vez...
Makayla looks amazing!! 🔥🔥
Yeah that happened already. It was in my Subaru. And my heart stopped momentarily
Thank you Dr. JP
