      It's like writing something down helps you remember. More general, using multiple stimuli makes the memory being stored on a larger scale. The hand gestures seems to help retrieving the relevant memory.

    I love how he says that what interests us is involuntary. I think he also connects this in another lecture that what interests you is an initial step yo becoming your truest self. Hone in on what draws you, discipline yourself to learn and master those skills and concepts and understand that following that gut feeling towards your dreams may indirectly lead you to understanding yourself and contributing yourself in the best way possible so you are the most useful to society at large. If our perspective changes from " I wanna follow my passion bc I'll be happier" to " I need to follow what moves me bc I have a higher chance to commitment, dedication hence success and furthermore am responsible to become my truest self in order to actualize far more potential into reality instead of being stuck in some complacent stage of life" and things change. We begin to work harder on ourselves when we realize our success can benefit more deeply for others than if we hold ourselves back.
    And mind I know that many people fail to succeed at initial dreams or realize they are unrealistic or dont have the talent/intelligence or skills, I understand that trust me, I dont feed grandiose delusions. But we dont know what we are capable of and what we are meant to do I'd we dont get our hands dirty and get to work. The initial plan doesn't work out? No duh who expects to have their life figured out the first time we try something, that's crazy! What's vital is to observe, learn, listen and track; assess yourself often and if something isn't working head back to the whiteboard and try a new strategy. Need guidance, find a mentor for that part of life ( can't find one in person then search for them online and via books like Jorsan Pererson etc) and become better at listening to that gut. I only say this long comment bc I am trying to work on this myself. Though I haven't seen the big breakthroughs yet my mind space and daily habits have changed to the point that my friends have noticed. If I keep going I know it I will only become wiser. So push forward and look into those interests, they might mean something.

      Jordan Peterson is a good teacher. I have been a teacher for 40 years: I know what it takes. I was considered to be a weird but good guy. I have saved some lives. Some of my pupils had have enough of secondary school: I told them they were intelligent and school wasn't. They trusted me. I loved them.
      Also headmasters, inspectors etc. could fuck off: I thought my pupils's future was more important than mine.

    It's good to recognize that a real friend is a person that tells you when you when you have a blindspot or inconsistency and where they have seen you affected by it...ie.,, when you are fucking up! A shitty friend might not have the guts to broach it with you, or even worse, see it and secretly enjoy watching you suffer. A real friend is not afraid to at least give a solid effort towards pointing out some flaw, and voice it because they want to see you improve.

      It is possible to shape the subconscious, or the great within as Christian D. Larson calls it. If you make the great within your chief cause of concern, and in shaping its development, you can through conditioning develop new interests or deepen existing interests, of which greatly enhances a person's ability to concentrate... Which is the ultimate goal, developing the power of concentration through cultivating and developing interests.
      One mode of thinking is that you need to develop a deep understanding of the law of cause and effect and really strive to understand that how you feel today is the result of what you did yesterday. The present moment is built under the conditions that created it... What you ate, the thoughts you were thinking, how you breathe, your posture, and many more factors contributed to your present condition. And to slowly build the mental connections to directly relate what you did before to how you feel now. This is how you start to build a future oriented mindset.
      Thomas Troward once said, the law of cause and effect is one we can never really get away from and he is correct. Also, there is an old maxim, that order is heaven's first law, which holds profound significance. Set your house in perfect order, before you criticize the world. As a grand strategic metaphor for self improvement of any mode or kind, law 6 in Peterson's book functions as something far bigger than it immediately appears.
      Lastly, there were many self improvement books around 1890-1920 that are way ahead of their time in terms of deep understanding.

      Hey guys great sub thread here...
      I want to add three things
      1- affirmations
      2- self hypnosis
      3- inspirational art forms
      These are the way to get the subconscious to work with and for you as your new friend.
      The price of entrance is (roughly speaking):
      A- doing exercises with the same relative consistency of any other task that requires repetition for effectiveness... please 🤔 💭 a pleasant thought such as: gardening, a sport / hobby, art work, a valued skill you got... I my self have Kung fu n gardening.
      Here’s the gig... if I water my cherished plants not enough the may die OR they will being living n dying on and off so much due to neglectful water they never produce fruit, flowers or grow bushy n full of gorgeousness... they need water n foods n sunlight but at different times... n amounts. ITS A CUTE LITTLE CYCLE OF ACTIVITY 🔥 ...
      So A is activity here.
      B- is learning about your tools of affirmations, self hypnosis and finding figures to dwell on like JBP says the cross or Archetypal hero or other art works.
      C- there will be worthy suffering that is paid and great fruit pulled from this effort. Each affirmation session can be uncomfortable n trigger you to cleanse old ideas, emotions or trigger old thoughts / memories.
      Feeling amazing n elated during a session can trigger the opposite feeling almost immediately sometimes especially if your a abuse survivor n or have repressed old wound events...
      If you affirm you are wealthy n have xyz house or lifestyle... what happened is often self doubt n fear upon many things... this is what is in the “inner” way blocking your “outer” success lifestyle.
      You must do a Bifocal Journey. Build your subconscious n then build your physical action world.
      That’s the dance, form, kata... blue print n building... the teaching n the action.
      A session when you wake up n a session when you go to slumber...
      Some more special session on the weekend mid day for a deepening.
      Benefits are:
      1- stopping self sabotage
      2- stopping Procrastination
      3- stopping self-hate
      4- Stop in self trickery/game playing
      5- stop in the wasting of time
      6- stopping you’re complaining
      7- Stopping powerlessness
      8- gamgainingat you want or need
      9- Knowing and trusting yourself n life like never before
      The last two benefits require the first seven in order to best bloom n fullest and this process is all inclusive.
      Again your three firms are affirmations, self hypnosis, dwelling on art /stories/ beings that inspire you to be more like them...
      If I add a last piece it is to say to ask a Devine presence to help, heal or make real these requests n that you wish it to be so and will be extremely grateful for all angelic or other wise spiritual luck n support.
      If your atheists it does not matter. Call it coming into alignment with the spirit of the hill you are hiking.
      Be friends with what you don’t know. At minimum we release hubris when we open to our spiritual side by admitting that even with the wieldable tools we don’t know it all n surrender to greater guidance n vision in mysterious ways.
      If your a science fiend go study more on research papers about this being open idea n prayer /energy sending studies ect, recovery of rats from surgery ect, and be exhaustive in your research... do your due diligence... it’s your responsibility as the one who “””needs””” things proven... go seek n stop fussing here 😉💜.
      My last note 📝 before I write books upon this subject is that it is a training to do this.
      You will sweat 😓. But you need to be optimistic when you do so. It’s feelings n inner structures you are transforming.
      Your a road crew destroying and building a new road to a new land... as you travel by road workers... in the sun or rain... on freeway or side street... exercising upon and with your subconscious is no different you are training you are working you are sweating and you will be rewarded call it a paycheck call it a bonus it’s guaranteed you’re gonna be paid when you put in the correct work.
      Take it on as a hobby but do it meaningfully! Great luck and diligence to you!!!

      Don’t talk like that. You sound a lot like my brother. He would go through these bouts of despair and depression but was a kind hearted soul who was misunderstood. He was killed in a motorcycle accident 3 days ago at the age of 53. The whole family has come together to mourn him and remember him. He was a difficult person to get along with sometimes with a bad temper but could also be sweet and gentle. Now going through his things, I feel closer than ever to that gentle, sweet side of him that I often overlooked. I wish I would have taken more time with him and helped him in his “lostness” in this world. My mom is devastated. Remember there are people who love you. I love you. Try to get out or do something artistic maybe. Don’t give up. Make a list of all the things you like and see if you can find a way to pursue that thing. See where it takes you. Sending you hugs. 🌸

      Dont listen anyone... even so called god.... only listen to youself because nature's wisdom is rooted in every soul... we can get authentic answers by asking to ourselves..we have to just have patient wiyh ourselve... any other is just illusion... no one can help us in respect of wisdom...only we are the solution... you can listen no of personalities as you want but going nowhere... but if you listen ask yourself you will go very far... if you believe in yourself you will learn how to live... dont think that you are not expert of thinking just dive in yourself by writing or just sitting and giving attention to yourself your body your mind...you will find many treasures... if you do this in morning without eating anything it helps too much... just go into yourself...only you have solutions other is just illusion...

    For instance, if we were taught in childhood that without belief in "God," that the god would then disown us in "the" afterlife, which would result in eternal suffering for our "souls" ... we didn't have any choice in that indoctrination ... making our system of belief involuntary.
    If, however, later in life, we choose to become non-believers in the existence of a god ... which is what occurred in my case ... THAT was and IS voluntary.

      Cherry picking the stories and sayings, I believe, isnt the best way to go about it.

      You just contradicted yourself.
      You infer that 'Cherry picking stories' to make someone be a good human is OK.
      Then you say 'Cherry picking' stories isn't the best way to go about it.
      Which is it?
      ALL religious foundations are human crafted long before the religions came around. Religion just likes to take credit for it.
      So lets cut out the divisive middle man and realize we don't need false
      gods to fix the mess we created ourselves.

    Jp is noisy person... although he knows much... but it not soothes you it gives you more tension... if you are going to a destination you can go silently or making noise pollution.. jp is causing much noise pollution which is making himself sick and others who are joined with him... if he cant have care of his mental health how he can help others... he is just noisy much so he is getting attention.. he needs to change his ways of dealing with life...he is always in some sorrow.. life is not so much bad as he dictates in his lectures... it has many wonders if he is able to see.... just seeing moon on nights can alleviate your sorrows...just give it a try...if you can sleep underneath moon for a week you will know what life is..we have disconnected ourself from our surroundings and then saying that we are not finding peace ...there is no way except connecting with our sources of life...air,sun,moon,earth and you will be refreshed and having much more energy to confront anything..sleeping in hardcore stone buildings have ruined humanity..
