- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Our friend @JonathanPageau gave a lecture on the conceptual structure of Genesis for an event that was orchestrated by the Montreal Jung Society. Jordan felt that this lecture would serve as a wonderful adjunct to his biblical series, also on Genesis, featured on this channel.
Thank you to the Montreal Jung Society and Jonathan for letting us release this video on our channel. We hope that you find it useful. Visit sites.google.com/site/cgjungmontreal for more info on the Montreal Jung Society.
Event Title: The Symbolic World - a lecture by Jonathan Pageau
Event Description: “Meaning is showing itself to no longer be an overlay to an arbitrary world of phenomena, but rather the very pattern of reality.
Through the questions of emergence, attention and consciousness which have been permeating so many fields in the recent past, the reality of pattern, ritual and image have also come to the fore. Meaning is showing itself, in a burgeoning post-secular age, as no longer only a subjective overlay to an arbitrary world of phenomena, but rather the very pattern of reality itself. In this frame we come to realize that the archetypal truths are not mostly biological and mental constructs in humans; they are firstly the inescapable patterning of the indefinite potential of the world as it encounters intelligence.”

Thanks so much for this opportunity, Jordan. It was such a wonderful surprise to first of all see you in the public, and then engage with you during the Q&A. You are definitely part of what pushed me to keep my edge on for the whole discussion.
It is one of the tragic-comical paradoxes of perverted scientific fashion that it is necessary to legitimize a procedure in the eyes of men who unavoidably use it in their daily work. Perception is the first step in any process of gaining knowledge of outer reality … It is the sense organs, to which the physiological mechanisms belong, which, by complicated and non-conscious computations, abstract perceptions out of the chaos of innumerable sensory data.
Lorenz (a quote from McGilchrist new book )
Mr. Pageau, I commend you for having the cajones to point out the fundamental flaw implied in deterministic impersonal "natural selection" in front of secular scholars. "Natural selection" is ultimately question-begging and following postmodernity, we're now entering a point in the discourse where people can start properly and humbly investigating this
This is some of your best work to date. It dawned at me that Christians and Jews are trying to reach the heavans and Muslims are reaching for Paradise in the earth.
Mr. Pageau and Mr. Peterson: I’ve followed you both on YT (Mr. Peterson on many platforms) for a number of years now. I’m heartened by how many congruencies are found and compelling discussions are taking place among great thinkers who are undaunted by social or peer pressures from derailing or silencing the discussion. To the contrary…the imposed divides are only serving to have brilliant thinkers coalesce….and your wisdom shared. Thank you both!
@@panokostouros7609 Is there any material you can share for one to read up on this view?
For 25 years, I was your average village atheist. I felt so proud of my cartoonish 'man-in-the-sky' arguments and small-minded use of the word "God." After reading and watching Jordan, Jonathan Pageau, Matthieu Pageau, Vervaeke, and Paul VanderKlay, I realized I had lived a life oriented towards God my entire life. I simply didn't know what our ancestors meant by that word. I now feel like a participant in life, no longer an observer. The world, beautiful and harsh, has a glow to it that I can only describe as God's grace.
Thank you all for stepping out and speaking on God when it was so easily dismissed and shouted down. Thank you for keeping the candle flame alive and passing it as best as you can to the rest of us.
I'm an atheist who is thoroughly disgusted by the man in the sky atheists. Your run of the mill atheist is looking for a way out of any moral responsibility while free riding on the judeo christian ethic that has been the foundation of the greatest civilization in history.
Most of the Christians I meet are sadly no different. Hiding their sin behind a forgiveness they take for granted and making no progress other than self justification.
I don't see much difference between myself and seriously deeply committed people of faith. Only difference is I don't believe in God.
The heavy lifting never ends for any honest man.
I love to hear/see the thoughts of others.
I feel like we’ve been missing out on simply engaging with others in todays society.
@@JohnDoe-iu5xi we are all hypocrites. Embracing one's own hypocrisy and not judging myself to be superior is an excellent and humbling step in the right direction. The heavy lifting never ends for an honest man.
Accepting myself is crucial to accepting others. We are all fallen.
What's rough on atheists is acknowledging that they didn't even fall from grace. We simply are born that way.. How can I accept their hypocrisy before I acknowledge my own and become aware of my own shortcoming that I judge them for? I can pretend to accept them. But I never really will until I see 'the stick in my own eye'.
Here's a puzzle with a bunch of pieces missing, Mr Atheist. Bon chance.
Yes I toyed with the atheist stance for some time myself. It never felt comfortable because of the meaning problem. These guys are articulating a line of thought I cannot escape but in a way that drawers out a healthier spiritual me.
Thanks for your comment.
@@ggusta1 I am curious what you make of our distinction drawn between agape and concepts like eros or philadelphia/phileo. Have you come across the ideas from Christians before?
Does the concept of divine love in contrast to erotic love, familial love, self love, etc still communicate as a concept? I have been on both sides of the coin when it comes to Christianity. Personally I could understand a deeply rooted meaning in the use of agape but I could never find a truly equivalent representation in secular terms. It always bugged me that I couldn't find a way to talk about it rationally
I am struggling to describe it for this very question
Having been dragged to church as a child to be told I was going to hell for my disbelief, I never thought there'd become a time where I voluntarily subject myself to lectures about religion. Thank you Jordan Peterson for helping me glean so much value from the biblical texts, for helping shape my understanding of the world and for pointing me in the direction of great people like Jonathan Pageau.
the western form of Christianity is a watered down deviation to put it mildly.
Good to hear that. Now, if you really want see how deep the rabbit hole goes, you might want to look up Seraphim Rose's work, especially "Genesis, Creation and Early man."

What does it say compared to Jonathan's work?
Thanks in advance
@@elektrotehnik94 if you are not familiar with Jay Dyer's work, his theological streams and lectures on Orthodoxy and the Church fathers are very exhaustive and a good resource. As a disclaimer I must warn you that Jay is a very unique character and has a rather different, definitely more confrontational approach, compared to Jonathan. I personally appreciate both very much. By the way, Jonathan did appear on Jay's channel, so you might want to checkout that stream. I remember it to be a very good discussion.
As a mathematician, I had just identified creation as fractals. Perfect timing to hear this.
I’m a mother and focus on only increasing the understanding of the world for my children so they can remain true to their goodness already in them. This discussion is astounding and I hope to remain pursuant of virtue.

@@jtjones4081 rambling
Hey jordan, big fan here from argentina. Your book help me go through the most difficult moment of my life, when my mother died, my family disappeared, I was left without work and without being able to eat. I spent 1 year and a half surviving as I could but something as simple as make your bed and tidy up your room, made great achievements and today I am in another place, much better and I know where I do not want to return!
thaanks!
I'm learning more appreciation for the training my parents gave me, which included cleaning my room and making my bed! I know that I didn't think much of it at the time! hahaha...But it seems they provided my with a valuable advantage in life with their pestering discipline...Thanks, mom and dad! RIP

I literally sent this to all my students (I teach catholic high school theology) and said "this is everything I have been trying to teach. Watch this"

Jonathan is absolutely amazing, I stil can’t believe we can watch this for free. Thank you so much!!
Jordan opened my eyes to religion and Christianity. Jonathan has helped open my heart to Christ. Symbolism has helped me commit to the biblical scriptures.
It's actually Odin..
Christ was just a human magician who indeed preached some pretty good ideas about people but that's it. Get yourself together and enjoy life and its pleasures like licking specific parts of a girl's body etc
I've never understood how a symbol can have meaning to someone. I still don't. I have always been utterly disconnected from that type of thought process. The symbols aren't the mystery. The mystery is why people care about them.
@@HkLY45 it's a language, people/organisations/(entities?) are communicating through this language in plain sight.
@@toreschanke4086 nope, if you study the history of Odin, it’s just another name for Satan. Just like Zeus, the god of the “air” “sky”, controls lighting, wants to be god above all, ring any bells? Satan, the god of the air/sky, fell like lighting, wants to be above the mount of congregation and demands the worship of any and all. Satan is represented in pretty much every culture around the world with different names. Hence why Satan is known as the god of many names, the world worships Satan one way or another whether they realize it or not. If it’s not Yahweh, it’s Satan, there is no in between.
Pageau is an absolutely brilliant thinker.
The "Divine darkness" Jonathan presented towards the end, sounds to me a lot like what is being experienced more and more when a person is approaching the non-permanent/ "first" Enlightenment, in the Eastern spirituality understanding of that state of being. As best as I understand it, of course.
As I see it, it seems that approaching that state of the "first" Enlightenment, a person is more and more becoming:
1.) DARKNESS:
- an increasingly empty vessel/ the ego is dissipating/ ever-increasing humility AND at the same time ego's decreasing presence is making way for
2.) DIVINE:
- experiencing something I can best describe as increasingly higher amounts of Grace (more and more pure joy & peace inside, more loving "self-less" forgiveness & loving "self-less" judgement to others and yourself, in service of the Highest)
The permanent/ "second" Enlightenment seems to me to be the ultimate destination of this process revealed by the non-permanent/ "first" Enlightenment. The permanent Enlightenment is the consequence of this process that has continued to its inevitable conclusion; its culmination in the highest point.
I can barely understand what I wrote myself, but what I wrote resonates with me deeply.
Hope it might be useful to anybody able to decipher it
Johnathan and Mathieu have done so much to remove the scales from my eyes to the symbolism that surrounds me. It's beautiful to understand the world in such a way.
So, like the "Z" symbolism on Russian tanks do you mean??

God respects pattern and orderliness; division and separation. This is needed to understand not only the book of Genesis but also the entire Bible. Thanks for this affirmation, Jonathan. And thanks for sharing, Jordan.
A fresh fountain quenching my thirsty soul. Thank you all.
🙏 May the sacred keep you safe, Dr Peterson. Thanks for everything!
Jordan, I really hope you can get back into doing more of your biblical series. I remember you said that was something you wanted as well.
Like the new testament? Eagerly awaiting that 🤗
in an interview three years ago, he said he wants to do the entire bible
@@amirhossein2057 Yes, and when he got back from being sick last year he said that continuing was one of his goals.
Make an explanation series on ehat he doesn't understand? No thanks
Not so long ago I believe I saw something about a new series of lectures that will start in January 22. Let’s hope it’s not just my wishful thinking ☺️
The more you listen to Pageau's content, the more you enter into it (actively, through imagination) the more you realize how trivial your first impression of him was, even if your first impression was not simplistic to begin with.
💯
Very based sir
Can't actually enter in through imagination. Have to enter in body.
There is certainly more depth than most can truly appreciate there, especially me thankfully.
I see you also sharted
I love that we have been given so many stories, everywhere we go -coming and going, God is constantly telling us, showing us that He is reaching out to us in everything but yet we are ourselves a story for others. Amazing
I got to the end of this video at 1am, this kept me awake as if I was watching an action movie! Didn't want it to end. Thanks for sharing!
What did you learn?
Me too! Here I am 10 months later listening on a Sunday night at 11 p.m. in September. Can't get enough of this. I'm hoping the more I listen to Jonathan, the more I'll be able to understand what he's talking about. I'm starting to "see" a little bit about what he's talking about so I remain hopeful.
Here I am, about a year larer, and this was still running thru my mind. So yesterday I spent the day listening again slowly and taking notes (play, pause, take notes) in an attempt to really grasp everthing in the lecture.

But tell me what he said that's useful to your life. Mostly all he did was a lot of blah blah blah that has no useful application in life.
How do we apply this crap to our lives. Otherwise he should just shut up
@@bertwesler1181 cool
This was absolutely wonderful.
This the the best Pageau that I’ve heard. Thank you, all. Thanks for posting it, Dr. Peterson.
what a great ending! you're going up, Jonathan. Rejoice!
It’s very difficult to describe faith other than a personal relationship with Jesus, and that the Holy Spirit comes and resides inside that person having the effect of BECOMING more like Him as we follow and transform from one degree of glory to another. Thank you for this conversation, it’s so thrilling to listen to you and Jordan discuss the Christian faith and the psychological aspects of conversion. I fear he may miss his opportunity by constantly sitting on the fence and refusing to jump in, as it were. Great stuff!
Then again, the process of becoming like God through the Holy Spirit is the cosmic version of looking up to any kind of rolemodel. That's why we call rolemodels inspiring, coming from latin 'in' + 'spirare', spirare meaning "breath" and related to "spirit". The reason why it's so difficult to describe faith is because the West has collectively forgotten that the patterns in the bible are a cosmic version of our experience. It's not just psychological.
Because the church is the body of the new Adam, God gathers us like clay and gives us spirit. But that's also the pattern for any kind of collective organization, be it a rock band, a school, or a company.
Doc Peterson is good to see that your doing better. God bless you and your family.
I was always doing good, but I pretended to struggle to make fools think they are more capable
ok if I weren't doing well at least I faced my fears. whatever
Jonathan is so clear, cohesive and to the point - his ideas make sense and I have never heard someone word the fractal nature of the universe and incorporate so many elements like he did. From my opinion, his talk today was on the same scale as that of popular great speakers like Jordan Peterson, Terence McKenna and Alan Watts - and he does so without that mystical, proverbial, tangential method of relaying it which I personally enjoy. It was as clear as water, and the examples made perfect sense and concretized his ideas. As a person who believes that thought comes first - ofthe conceptual before physical - Jonathan felt like he was speaking something that I knew but didn't really "know", or could even understand without someone else more capable excavating it. Hearing a lecture on the fractal nature of the universe by a self-aware fractal is as ""as above, so below" as it gets.
I have endless thanks for Jordan, but what Jonathan does with pattern recognition and reality as a whole is what I believe Jordan did for me with his psychology talks. The discussion at the end was 10/10. Thank you both.
Totally agree. His methodology for explanation is if it wouldn't mean anything to a secular atheist then he is not grounding it enough.
They say orthodoxy is like having a cheat sheet to life.
McKenna!
@@pleroma49 mcKenna is a musing poetic rambler often babbling or circling around his points that often end up being pointless.... This Pageau Guy was absolutely mind blowing.... I have never heard anything like this
McKenna oratory is enticing and mesmerizing (plus has a great voice) but he will not lead you anywhere useful, Pageau, who being rooted in Orthodoxy constantly points to Christ, is acting on a completely different level.
Dr. Peterson , thank you. There’s something about you two being in the same room is just magic! I don’t know what it is. It really gets into a realm I can’t explain. I love it.
This is the single most meaningful video I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. A brilliant display by Jonathan Pageau!
It goes way deeper bruh
Just found this and wow, I thought I was a thinker but this guy has made me feel narrow minded. Fantastic listen and very beneficial for myself. Another huge bonus, I now found John’s channel and feel like I’m participating in an absolute gold rush!
Don't follow the alchemists in that gold rush... metallurgy and banking turned crazy already. God bless
I have never heard such 🐂 sh$t in my life. Talk about a bunch of words meaning absolutely nothing
Absolutely brilliant explanation of the fractal pattern in Creation. It’s all patterns within patterns, and fields within fields.
I guess you could say that there is no becoming without being, and there is no being without becoming.

@Isaac Jared going to hell is separating yourself from God, just because he loves us infinitely. Doesn’t mean we won’t exact perfect justice.
So good, Jonathan. Our world is thought made visible.
your patterning for others being like God is very beautiful. thank you for real 🥲
Paul VanderKlay got an indirect shout out! I really enjoyed his conversation with Benjamin Boyce and Pageau earlier this year (on Benjamin Boyce's podcast)
Yes! That was a great conversation. I will always remember Jonathan saying that “we are at the end of something, and the beginning of something, but we don’t know what yet...” (paraphrasing). And then COVID hits....totalitarianism rears up on it’s hind legs, and we are now thrust into whatever the heck this interpretation of reality is!
Such a powerful, shattering conversation. Feeling the holly spirit's breath that was shared in a sacred moment. Such beauty to witness a conversation shared between Jonathan Pageau and Jordan Peterson. Thank you dearly. I am moved to the depths.
I've been trying to walk in the steps of Peterson and Pageau and revisit the Bible through a narrative perspective. I think it's one of the hardest things a person of orthodoxy can do, but I do express a deep appreciation for this approach.
Have u listened to Fr. Stephen de Young’s The Whole Counsel of God Podcast? He’s going over the whole Bible and explaining it book by book. I highly recommend
@@CarlosVargas-jz8gl love it when Jonathan and the podFrs get together. Hopefully they do another one soon.

"But *the goal of our instruction is love* from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from a sincere faith." 1 Timothy 1:5
Don't compare man made dogma with the Word of God. They are two entirely different things.
If you’re orthodox Peterson’s biblical content can’t give you anything of value. We have a wellspring of deep writings of scripture from the Fathers and we have tons of saints and biblical theological writers who don’t turn the whole thing into Jungian archetypes and mere allegory.
Thank you Jonathan that was illuminating
What a wonderful discussion. Now my mind is spinning and sleep eludes me! Very invigorating.

@Kiwi Connoisseur I am Orthodox. Why would you assume differently?
@Kiwi Connoisseur You really won't get anyone to convert with this approach. That's not how it works.
First of all, I want to thank Jordan for his brilliant intellectual thought provoking interesting RUclipss. It is one thing for us to hear something, remember it and mimic it if valued but Jordan is planting the seed of knowledge and nurturing our own ability to improve ourselves through our own thoughts. While in most cases the majority of the population cannot see the forest for the trees being divorced from reality and truth, Jordan provides an avenue for in your face truth and reality enthusiastically encouraging us to challenge ourselves and run the race all the way to the finish line. This is only my second time viewing and listening to Jonathan Pageau, I agree we do live in a symbolic world. Symbols, numbers, words, names and places all have specific meaning and purpose. They are not for not. One can say that while time changes everything and everything changes with time, Almighty God and the heavens remain the same. Hebrews 13:8,
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever.” In Genesis 1:14, God created lights in the sky to separate day and night.” In Luke 21:25, “There will be signs in the sun, moon and the stars.” The celestial sky is God’s heavenly calendar, a source of order, for planting crops, judgements, rewards, etc…, it is like the RAM in the computer, a modem connection from Heaven to earth. Almighty God is a sovereign orderly perfect Creator. He is all truth and the origin of love. God is the greatest creator, mathematician, scientist, philosopher, physician, artist, poet…, etc. God is beyond brilliant because the Bible aka Book of Instructions Before Leaving Earth is written is such a way that every generation aligns with each biblical story and characters for each particular generation. Almighty God is up in the heavens but always all around us through His word, the Holy Spirit, the beauty of nature and the beauty of us as humans and that which is within us through the Holy Spirit. Nothing He has done is coincidental and always by design. Therefore, every agent is by design and intertwined through patterns, habits, traditions and even biomimicry because man mimics the patterns and talents of animals/nature. Man was created on the 6th day (6 number of man) from the dust of the earth and we share the same elements of nature. The human body is mathematically and scientifically created from dirt. That’s the best form of recycling. God is great!!! As we grow and mature intellectually, we transform ourselves by renewing our hearts through the Holy Spirit, having a personal/ individual relationship with Almighty God, through thought process, behaviors and interactions with others and our surroundings. As Christians, we are from the seed of Almighty God’s family of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Both Jews and Gentiles. Romans 1:16 “I have complete confidence in the gospel; it is God’s power to save all who believe, first the Jews and also the Gentiles.” As for the atheist, they probably follow the serpent seed. Luke 12:9, “But anyone who denies me here on earth will be denied before God’s angels.” The world is comprised of two sides to everyone and everything. There has always been good and evil, right and wrong, order and chaos, love and hate and heaven and hell. So, yes, our seed is our identity and bearing fruit is our inheritance.
Secondly, Carl Jung, like many others should be admired for brilliant contributions to humanity. However, no one is above Yeshua Hamashiach’s wisdom. And in all honesty we are all philosophers in our own right if we question and challenge ourselves in the existence of being and everything that surrounds us above and below. Also, if we question the knowledge of our conclusions, the solutions to problems by using methodical and systematical thinking as well as our attitudes towards life, attitude towards our fellow man and our surroundings it is part of our humanistic philosophy. Anyone who seeks answers to these questions of existence, knowledge and or solutions to these problems is a philosopher. In my opinion all answers can be found in Almighty God the Father and creator of all.
True, the chair is more than just a chair; it’s a material object made of wood, fabric, leather etc…, it has a purpose for sitting, filling a decorative space and was made by a carpenter like Jesus Christ. We ourselves are more than just one thing with great value and purpose. The glass of water is more than just a glass of water. Our acknowledgement of the value of the substance in the glass is one’s individual responsibility, failure and or reward. We ourselves are created in Almighty God’s image and as the water in the glass holds value, we have immeasurable value. Failure to realize our value and potential is a great devastation and we deny our inheritance. On Aristotle’s question of nature he uses the example of the statue asking four questions with four events or causes: what components make up the statue? (Bronze; the material event/cause) what is it ( a statue; the formal event/cause) what brought into existence (a sculptor; the efficient event/cause) and what was its purpose ( decorative; the final event/cause).
Since I only had a few minutes to view this RUclips I can’t comment further but would like to conclude with a quote from Sabina Spielrein -“As an example, let us examine a previously differentiated experience: a sunny day in spring that endless generations before us have often enjoyed. To reproduce the experience, we must consciously differentiate the shapes of the trees, grass, and sky, conforming to the current content of consciousness. We no longer are concerned merely with a spring day, but with our own special, personally colored spring day. On the other hand, when this differentiated product enters another individual’s psyche, a re-transformation occurs. Conscious processing by another involves his personal impressions of a spring day. In addition, to conscious processing, the image falls into an unconscious ‘working through’, moving the current personal impression down to the ‘Mothers’ and dissolving it. In the unconscious, we may find the spring day broken down into its components, the sun, the heavens, and plants that are organized (or perhaps more correctly, molded) according to mythological forms known to us from folk psychology. In each declaration of a thought, which is a portrait of an image, we establish a generalization in which words are symbols, serving to mold universally human and universally comprehensible ideas around the personal, i.e., the impressions are depersonalized.”
Thank you, Jonathan for covering an interesting topic. Almighty God bless you and your family. ✝️
This is the most clear interpretation i've ever seen of genesis. Thanks so much.
Really? Seems like a bunch of philosophical ju-jitsu in a futile attempt to rationalize the irrational and give some psudo-scientific value to a religious myth that has ultimately caused tremendous suffering in the world. The creation myths of a bunch of savage, middle eastern tribes that have been warring for 3,000 years, are only still relevant today because of their believers inability to adapt, change, and grow beyond them and because they have spawned the longest periods of war and violence in the history of the human race.
@Kiwi Connoisseur Amusing attempt...Hail Satan.
@Kiwi Connoisseur @Hehe Hehe is just a troll and @Hehe Hehe knows they themselves is only a troll.
Every knee shall bow in the end. I praise Yah that this isn't just symbolic for me the word is living and exudes life and everything needed to foster correct existence.. I will try my best to walk out my faith until my last breath.
OMG Yes, this was brilliant. Thank you!
The way Jonathan presented this information was perfect, at least for me and the way my brain works. It's something I'll be contemplating while trying to fall asleep tonight (which will lead to a brain too active for sleep). I'm left feeling like there's so much more that needs to be said and explored which was the purpose. Thank you, Jordan, for presenting this on your channel.
Don't forget to visit Jonathan's channel and join us in the Symbolic World facebook group!
I also can't sleep
If you seek God with all your heart, you *will* find Him. Humility is central and love is our highest purpose.
Jonathan is great, also order his graphic novel “Gods dog” it’s crowd funded but has already reached multiple goals so you’ll get your copy for sure now.
been getting more and more into mr. Pageau's videos and discussions. New years resolution is to read the bible!
Hows the bible going for you? I started on jan 5 and its jan 16 right now. Im at genesis 32. This has been interesting reading, since i was a hardcore atheist for almost 10 years.
@@oscargarcia2011 well i'm doing some pre bible reading so i've been diving into the history of religious ideas by m. eliade and am half way through the first vol... i'm thinking if I should finish the other 2 volumes and then get into the bible or just start after this first volume.. we'll see where my interests takes me. either way i'm excited to get into it... last "year" I also read st ephrem's hymns on paradise as well as the life of moses by st gregory of nyssa which also fuelled my interests in the bible. how's it going for you?
I would recommend “Bible in A Year” podcast by Fr. Mike Smytz. It’s so wonderful and there are people around the world listening in. I think it is very hard to make sense of some of the Bible so BIAY breaks it down and explains. God bless you!
Are u halfway

Wow. Thank you for sharing so much of your audience with Pageau! He is indeed a great and interesting guy
It's so nice to see Jordan and Tammy together, looking happy and healthy, after what they've been through.
Jonathan Pageau is so good at explaining these high notions, and even does so in an accessible way that isn't too cerebral or esoteric.
Mr. Jordan I want to thank you for the growth and reality check that you give. You are a true blessing! To be blessed is great but to be a blessing to all you meet! You are a true HERO good sir. Thank you for your service to humanity!
May God bless you deeply. Thank you!
Exceptional lecture. I feel all this to be true and as accurate as one can convey in the human tongue. Great questions and i feel as though the answers were complete and true. And if opinions are based on scriptual facts about reality...than in good judgment, those opinions are favourable. This topic should be taught at a young age to everyone.
Oh my lord. This is going to be good thank you sir.
I studied art history at University so this is a gem. I am also a woman of faith so this.
we are the expression of everything thank you Jesus
Thank so much. Your Work is very worty for all world. Sincerly from Germany. You make the world whole und holy. Ganz und Heilig. Liebe Grüße
Thank you so much. Your lectures are helping me understand, heal from being misunderstood, and increase in faith.
Jonathan is the GOAT!
He is a?
"When the human race learns to read the language of symbolism, a great veil will fall from the eyes of men." - Manly P. Hall
“Those who will not use their own brain, they are nothing more than meat on the table and beasts of burden by choice and consent.”
I'd say before that veil falls it's a crime to see them anything else but a cattle. And it's a crime to feel sorry because of it.
@@spraitukas we should have no space in our hearts for such pride and disdain
It's important to have this dialogue with consciousness; and share the mystery of being with those of us not yet realizing the potential for which we exist, which is the very meaning and purpose of the experience.
Wow. What a treat! Thank you for this video
Q people know what you suggest and just how radical this thought is.
The unseen is constantly around us with open doors.
“Whatsoever a man thinketh in his heart SO IS HE.”
I love watching both of these men think. It makes me want to cry as you see the gears moving.
I sense honesty in observation.
Thank you gentlemen.
You have given my “hope” a refreshing glass of water.
This is a life changing teaching. Learned a whole lot
Thank you for posting this, Jordan. Fascinating.
@Kiwi Connoisseur - Maybe someday. Protesting is more my thing for now. ;-)
This was truly excellent. Watching this group stretch each other is a true privilege. I do attempt to glean one practical application from such experiences, and here I have coined a new phrase. Henceforth, when I attempt to assist someone who is attempting to amass success from inappropriate potential I will recommend to them to stop "eating rocks!"
We truly do own, collectively, the wisdoms of symbology and allegory threaded through our fictions, be they religious or otherwise.
Anyone else have to watch, then rewatch and then rewatch again to try and understand the concepts of Jordan and his pals? I’ve read and listened to his books many times and still feel like I don’t really fully grasp all that’s going on but the depth is why I keep coming back. The Jordan Peterson selection of rabbit holes. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Thanks for bringing us these wonderful insights on patterns and meaning. Looking forward to Jonathan Pageau's forthcoming graphic novel, "God's Dog"
I was gifted 12 Rules For Life today for my birthday today, I'm so excited to read it! God Bless and keep up the amazing work Jordan!
Everyone with an ounce of psychedelic experience and/or interest in Jordans religious lectures (when will they finally continue?) will find this immensely valuable.
Thank you so much.
Be careful of unearned wisdom…
@Kiwi Connoisseur I too would have never been receptive to these types of lectures if it wasn't for psychedelics. I was so deep in materialism that it would've been almost impossible to get me out of it without using psychedelics. I don't know if I would ever use it again but the experiences I had were definitely worth it.
