I started waking up between 3-4 am a couple of years ago - after spending nearly two years unemployed, going to daily mass and spending literally every waking moment in prayer and praise. I was in a really dysfunctional job situation for nearly 5 years before that. Now, I feel the need to do something more meaningful. Starting tomorrow morning at 3, I'm going to ask.
I have been slowly waking earlier and earlier. My current routine is to wake at 4:45. I backed this up from 5am to give me 15 more minutes to get to the gym in my basement for a 1hr workout. During the hour (5-6am), I generally watch something like this (inspirational / motivational) during cardio (elliptical / treadmill). I am constantly drifting in my thoughts often towards what is discussed in this video. I have my smartphone in reach and frequently set task or general reminders as the thought will be gone if I let a few moments pass. The inspiration in this video, to me, is not a destination or finite task, but a journey towards the intersection of my thoughts, answers, and for me, my own unanswered questions. I am able to do this daily, meaning on weekends too. And I’ve even surprised myself as I am doing this while in Vail on a ski trip with friends. I am the only one up. My only challenge with this video is there are too many suggestions in such a short time. Ugh. Capturing them all and executing is a true challenge, for me. I suppose it gives me purpose to achieve more. #SuccessList
I keep a spiral notebook and pen on the pillow next to me for those moments when I wake up with a thought I want to remember. It's also helpful for adding things to your grocery list!
I just keep,the phone next to me and dictate a note when it happens to me, “hey Siri take a note”………… No scrambling for the glasses or the light switch, and it’s there to read in the morning. Now before you jump on me screaming tech Millenia!! I’m a boomer who has decided that some parts of technology are worth embracing. 😊
This is good, but must have a foundation of daily reading of, and meditation on, God's Word. Otherwise, if you don't have that foundation, your answers will come from your own inner thoughts, and I think we all know that our own inner thoughts often lead us astray. God's Word will never lead us astray.
Christ is the Word of the Father. The Logos of all things. Scripture is of immense importance and what you say is true, but don't let it prevent you from having a relationship with the Living Word, Jesus Christ. When St John said "In the beginning was the Word," he spoke of Christ. That relationship is to be found in ceaseless prayer and repentance.
I woke up this morning at 3:03 a.m. after having a dream of Jesus. I lit my candle and got my Bible and laid down to rest my eyes for a few more minutes as I was too groggy to stay awake and read. I ended up falling back asleep and I feel like I failed. Hopefully next time I will be more awake so I can pray
@King_Alfred_849 haha actually it was one candle in a deep glass jar with 3 wicks so it was safe. I'm a retired firefighter so I am well aware of the dangers.
3 am is too early, but 4-5 are good hours, because nature has not woken up yet and its quiet, BUT it depends on the season. I have a different problem- too much energy and sometimes I can't sleep ;))) It wouldn't be so bad if it was a few months, but it's been a few years (but I eat organic and have a "six-pack" on my stomach, which means a very efficiently functioning nervous system; water conducts electrical signals much better than fat and additionally much less energy/ transformations are needed, because a "Kcal" is a heat unit necessary to maintain warmth/ survive;) Ciaooo Duc! ;)))
What a massive amount of creative invention regarding simple subconscious processes reaching some resolution to an ongoing problem. Occam's Razor tells us that the subconscious is a much simpler and satisfactory answer that doesn't require inventing the divine.
I believe this. I've had many experiences with spiritual matters during this time. I do think that demonic forces are also loose during this time so if we have not given ourselves to Christ and protected ourselves the adversary can do negative things . Many stories about that on the internet
Question: Is this actually Dr Jordan Peterson or is this Ai created to sound like him? Did he actually say these words himself in real life? If not......why am I listening to this?
Exactly! What is the benefit of listening to an Ai generated speech if the pretend author never actually said these words & sentences? It just makes it BS!!? 🤔👎
@King_Alfred_849 Is it really that different? What if it's better than what Peterson could conceive on the topic? Why does it matter that Peterson is saying or not saying it at all? Is it the subject that matters to you or the object from which it arises? Is it the book, or what's within the book? Where does it all come from? Food for thought🤔🙏
@kevinheise7 I think that it's matters whether these thoughts come from Peterson or a robot. If you act on the suggestions of a robot, there is a chance that you too will become that robot. At that point, it's all about mind control, and humanity is lost....for ever.
@kevinheise7 It matters 100%!!! Do you not acknowledge authentic wisdom from the human whom it came from?? If you think listening to a computers randomly selected similar sentences to which the actual Dr JDP would say then you are completely lost at sea! You have lost your anchor of reality! I recommend thinking a little deeper & longer before submitting your thoughts & it's eventual meaning! Ai will be the downfall of the Internet for the common man & woman! 👎
If you are on your knees while praying, the lack of comfort will force you to get to the point with God. Whereas you lie down, you run the risk of missing your own urgency. that is why the quintessential prayer is one who is on their knees before Almighty God.
I always wake at this time cos I need a pee! That’s the attention my inner prostate is alerting me to. However, I don’t waste the opportunity, I use it to worry about some completely trivial problem I have to deal with today just to ensure I can’t get back to sleep again. I do the same every night with monastic regularity. I believe ive reached a higher plane. I’m getting old!
He has admitted to using AI to aid him in generating content. I believe he edits what he gets from AI. It does sound like he is using an AI reader as well.
Good speech. Popeye calls it a (1) " SENSGA HUMILIGRASHINK. " (2) I've know for years prayer means listening much more than talking. The Almighty already knows what's on your mind / heart. But He wants you to do it His way. If you don't . . . He will not bless your endeavor. (3) He'll let you struggle. Until you realize His voice can be found in scriptures available to all. (4) Wisdom or understanding is the most important thing. That means His spin . . . not necessarily what the mainstream claims.
Have to say that I too think this video is AI generated. It lacks that authentic JP nuance of divergent thought. When lecturing he is never linear in speech. Rather, his mind works so fast that one expressed is hardly finished before he's off on some tangent thought. I wouldn't want to live in JP's mind or Elon Musk's mind either 😅 Way too busy for me; I wouldn't be able to keep up the pace. I'm a journal writer of 50 years; I need the stepped down approach of putting my thoughts into words written in ink onto paper rather than spoken. Just saying. 😊
Just do what Jordan Peterson says and you will be introduced to God your creator who loves you immensely when you don't deserve it by calling his care and love 'rubbish"!
To God, your attitude and indifference are annoying to Someone who waits for your attention and love and find your rejection 'hugely disappointing" !!!
That is patently absurd, there are many other closer to earth reasons than rationalizing some spiritual mumbo jumbo that reeks to an era where spirituality was used to explain when science was unavailable,

Thanks. This is a good reminder to pause for honest personal reflection and refocus.

been getting up around 2:30 to 3:00 am for years. do much studying being guided buy the spirit

Careful you don't go to sleep with candles lit around you! Could be a harsh awakening! 😅👎

Turning insomnia into inner listening
Monks rise to chant; prophets retreat to meditate, and I usually get up to take a piss during that time, so this might work out.
3 am is too early, but 4-5 are good hours, because nature has not woken up yet and its quiet, BUT it depends on the season.
I have a different problem- too much energy and sometimes I can't sleep ;)))

Thank you
If i wake at 3am, all i can think of is getting back to bed ... never been able to develop this habit

Most likely AI, has a very low subscription which is usually a give away of AI…

This sounds like AI Jordan and not the real thing.

I’ve heard this before from Christian teachers. It is poignant. Listen to this man who has been assigned to speak to modern souls.
Is this video made by artificial intelligence because Gordon Peterson doesn't talk like that?
That’s an insult to Jordan Peterson.
His thoughts are certainly not related to the BS of ai.
He has admitted to using AI to aid him in generating content. I believe he edits what he gets from AI. It does sound like he is using an AI reader as well.
I think it is most likely AI
Yes I cqnt talk god❤
These are the teachings of CS Lewis inspired from the Bible.
Good speech. Popeye calls it a (1) " SENSGA HUMILIGRASHINK. " (2) I've know for years prayer means listening much more than talking. The Almighty already knows what's on your mind / heart.

nah, just stressed adrenal glands. lol

Oh, then it isn't insomnia.
I always admire Jordan Peterson BUT the religious rubbish he's putting out is hugely disappointing
Sounds like it could be ai
You're free to leave...
Just do what Jordan Peterson says and you will be introduced to God your creator who loves you immensely when you don't deserve it by calling his care and love 'rubbish"!
To God, your attitude and indifference are annoying to Someone who waits for your attention and love and find your rejection 'hugely disappointing" !!!
Not Jordan Peterson. Just block the channel.
Sounds like AI
I think it means stress and diabetes lol
That is patently absurd, there are many other closer to earth reasons than rationalizing some spiritual mumbo jumbo that reeks to an era where spirituality was used to explain when science was unavailable,
Can you or science explain how something came from nothing, existence from non-existence, and how life came from non-life?
