I love your comment 😂😂😂
Thomas Alvarez on the BRIGHT side great comment

amen
That’s dark
My ideas of the self is more of a "core self". I think it's obvious to a lot of people that a lot of the parts of your brain don't feel like part of the "core self", they feel like a machine that helps you. Your limbs aren't you, they just help you locomote. Your eyes aren't you, they just help you see. And parts of your brain aren't you, they just help you. Take your memories for example. Your memories don't necessarily feel like part of your "core self", more often than not if feels more like you ask to remember something, and your brain _might_ provide that.
Another "segment" is, anyone that has tried to quit smoking or exercise more or anything of the kind is probably keenly aware of how many excuses your brain can make, which it then uses to try and defy the "core self" with. Take exercising for an example. Your brain is prone to tell you things like "I'm too tired" (despite having felt energetic 2 seconds ago), "I could do this if I just had my music with me" or "I tried this today already and failed. Today is a failure there isn't any point in trying again" despite having plenty of time in the day.
A weird thing happens when you defy these parts of your mind. You realize that it wasn't the "core self" saying them. It was your brain's own "software" or "excuse software" trying to maintain an equilibrium with other parts of the brain, most commonly the ego. If you buy in to the excuses you receive, then the ego has an excuse other than "I was being weak" to not do things that take effort.
The best part is that when you realize all of this, and you realize that you need to discipline your mind first, the path becomes so clear that you can leap to doing great things in no time at all.
So how to discipline our brains?

What a fascinating perspective good sir. Thank you for that
It seems as if there are multiple parts of the internal self. Jung mentioned that we have the shadow self, the reasonable self, and then the part of the self that is wise. Maybe you could compare this to Freuds breakdown of the human psyche. With so many moving internal parts, its very difficult to pinpoint one true “self”. A more accurate description of the self may be the way we are perceived and believe we are perceived by others.

This is JBP's version of pre-Guardians Of The Galaxy Chris Pratt.
Interesting, so what you are (The Self) is both the present you that has been tempered by the experiences of your past and the future possible you that your present capabilities could create.
It seems that the idea isn't telling you to be your future potential someday. It's instead saying that since what you are today and what you could be tomorrow are connected, becoming more experienced now expands the limits of your potential to be more later down the line.
Yes, that is precisely correct. Jung considers the Self as the totality of the psyche. JBP forgets to mention the historicity of our Self here. We are not only our actual current Self or the potential future Self but also the product of our past.
It's not only that the current Self has the potential to make or push the future Self but rather the future Self pulling the current and past Self. That is why the Oracle of Delphi could predict the future. The Greeks thought that the thread of life has already been spun from day one (i.e. fate).
The Self connects past, present and future. That's why it is often symbolized as a Mandala or even the snake that eats its own tail. Is symbolizes the idea of "wholeness", "roundness", "recursion" or circular causality and self-referentiality.
Jung was a man ahead of his time.
I like your content bc even though its just bits of jordan peterson content you add on to it by pulling it out of the lecture into a single message for the everyday youtuber with only a few minutes to spair. In this way dr. Petersons message can reach a potentially untapped audience. Nice job! Keep it up! Dont listen to haters (if there are any [i certainly hope not {but then again who cares what anyway thinks its the internet in 2018}])
Glad you like it and I am very happy that this channel turned out very useful for many people. Thank you!

love this man
In Urdu a philosopher name Allama Iqbal have written Philosophy of Self (phelsafia Khudi).
Thank you Dr. Jordan Peterson for explaining all of this in the easiest way possible. Priceless knowledge
Watching this version of Peterson compared to, e.g. the British GQ interview is a remarkable alchemy of a being who has found one's Jungian *self* and is manifesting its power.
could you please document the date when this was recorded when you post these? thank you!
I can’t wait til my kids become adults. It’s only then that I’ll know if I got it right or not. It’s like having an unsolved equation for 20 years but not having your answer checked for another 10-15 years.
English prof talked about this today. Mostly on how the "subject" is more credible and more easily proved.
A good introduction to Jungian Psychology is his 2017 Personality #7 lecture, because it's best explained with imagery and story:

Anyone else get an add for Jordan's 12 rules for life for this vid?
The sword in the stone is a good example of this. Wise old man, potential, at the end he becomes a king
When youre reading Undiscovered Self and need Jordans help to understand
thicc
Why is your channel called “bite-sized philosophy” yet you ONLY post Jordan Peterson? You might as well rename your channel to “Jordan Peterson Clips”
probably because JP is the best philosopher atm... duh
The content is bite sized 'love of wisdom' to translate directly from the Greek; philo sophia
I was going to disagree because I've been subscribed for a while, but I checked and holy shit...wow it's been 100% Jordan for a while now. I missed that.
And no, Jordan is not the best thinker/philosopher alive by a long shot. He's great, but like holy hell guys. He mostly recites other good stuff, and has a few good incites on the troubles of today, but comprehends them in strange ways and tries to motivate people in ways that aren't very logically/philosophically sound, but that are very good for people alive today to hear.
i thought the duh might hint the lack of seriousness guess not haha don't know much about philosophy but he's great to listen to nonetheless. *kanye shrug*
What’s funny is Jordans main strength is psychological, not philosophical. I think you guys are getting these words mixed up
He calls Jung frightening... HE OBVIOUSLY HAS NO IDEA HOW FRIGHTENING HE IS SOMETIMES!!!
Lobsters.
So what you're saying is we should nuke the middle east?
...for dinner.
