I grew up in a Christian fundamentalist household, and one time I asked my dad "why did they kill Jesus?". I knew that he died for our sins and all of that but I wanted to know why people would kill such a great person, because that didn't make any sense to me. He said "well, he told the truth, and people don't like hearing the truth". I've never forgotten that, and it blew me away when he said that. That was so long ago it almost feels like a past life, but it's wonderful to hear Peterson talk about how Christ's higher value was to speak the truth, to speak order into chaos, to speak the logos'. There is something truly profound and, well, true about this idea.
that's right. Jesus also did not oppose taxation and did not make military action against any one, even told Peter to not fight off the Roman soldiers that arrested Jesus unjustly. Jesus was concerned of the spiritual kingdom of God, not of worldly governments or organizational structure John 18:36
Jane Doe... we don't really know what Jesus didn't do. I am not claiming that he did speak out against slavery, but I do think that parts of the story were omitted. So we can't really say too much about what he didn't do, we only know what he did do.
I love this one. "Today we know in part.....then we will know even as we are known." That is a mind blowing realization. We see through a glass darkly... Peterson is cleaning the glass! His wisdom and insights are amazing. Most misunderstand him.
@@williampaul8556 I love this from Kierkergaard; "Which is more difficult, to awaken one who sleeps or to awaken one who, awake, dreams that he is awake? "
@Al Garnier very good point. Just something maybe offtopic. Here where I stay in Southern Africa, elephants have to be kulled because of space restrictions. They have to kull the whole troop as they literary die of sadness if some survive. I find that so sad.
This is the best Jordan Peterson video I have yet seen. This man has gone deep, deep, deep into himself and the abyss beneath, and he's able to articulate it. It's inspiring, moving, and life affirming.
Amen to that ... he fully plumbs the depths of anthropology like a submarine Captain, pushing the crush-depth bounds every time before coming up for air safely ... never lost a man yet I've heard, even though the SJW's are contemplating sabotage before and during every mission :P
I agree. I keep coming back to this one. His more recent biblical lectures are very different because he is “working through” those stories. His is a very refined lecture.
One of the things I like most about Peterson is that he has quite a dose of existentialism inside of him, and yet he manages to come out with a life affirming message, as you put it. In this way he gives you the feeling of taking you seriously and of hope at the same time.
I was raised Catholic, went through some tough times, became an atheist and focused on the abuse of power that happens in religion. I have been beginning to see the deeper meaning of religion beyond taking everything literally, and Dr. JP has spent 20 years already doing this. I'm trying to watch all of his videos to learn from this great man.
The ironic thing is that, of all the people, Nietzsche was the one who saw this with the greatest clarity. His view was not positive of christians religion, but it was nonetheless insightful as to what a world without it meant.
Andrew Joakim it's difficult talking to atheists about joseph campbell, carl jung, jordan peterson and so on. it's come to my attention that they have become just as dogmatic as the old religious right who are now the tolerant, calm ones. we are really in a time where things are shifting drastically.
yes! I can only watch maybe one video of shallow distraction before I come back to Jordan or pursuit of truth. I've left the harbor, but I'm not yet sure if I have a rudder
yep. me too. I keep playing (geography puzzle&other) games, ironing clothes, and writing essays for my postgrad class while I listen to peterson talk...and I find that that is what I used to do in high school as well...a professor once told me I'd be good for a medieval scriptorium-I could do miniatures and marginalia in books. he got that when he saw the doodles I made during his class...but that's how I listen to lectures
I grew up in religion went through a ton of issues because of it. Turned to atheism and became lost. He has helped me understand spirituality and psychology in a whole new way. I always hated religion but saw so much good in it to. To understand it and respect it for what it is and how it came about has helped me a lot. I no longer see it as pure dogma and narrow mindedness. I see it’s wisdom. I believe as people we need a higher ideal and will find one. Hope that makes any sense. Thank you JP
hgostos well said. I have been so impressed with JP and Sam Harris as well as Joe Rogan and others. It's so refreshing to hear great ideas expounded honestly.
I’ve been listening to him for 4 years and I think I know why he helped me so much. He got me to stop chasing happiness and impulsive pleasures and got me to chase meaning. Meaning in my life and my duty as a son, a father, a brother, a husband and member of my community. To not only NOT be bad or be a neutral waste of space but get out there and help create a world my kids live in. People get hung up on what society should do for them, or what society owes them. That’s why the victim hood pushers hate him. He teaches people to not blame others for your problems. Get out there and bear your own cross. You might be suffering but guess what we live on the hard work and suffering of our ancestors who suffered way more than us. Man up and get out there. That’s what I’ve learned most about this great man.
This might be my favourite of his. Possibly because I am a Christian. But still. he was in the zone. The whole talk was full of incredible insights. he slowed down a bit too. This deserves much more than a million views.
antidepressant11 try listening here...it’s another dose of reality, except Raven-Hill believes in what he says... ua-cam.com/video/n_5vbnJHPBI/v-deo.html
Came across DrJ Peterson after watching a social justice warrior attempting to debate him with no intention of listening. So glad to have found and subscribed to your channel, feel lucky I have 150 to watch too, great topics!
I think all the SJWs, despite all of their destructive void like hatred, have done many favours for us all. They point out that we're not as good as we say we are, we're all 'implicitly racist' and 'sexist', and that maybe we should actually value and protect Western Culture that has done so much good. They show that Tribalism is a major part of human nature. They show the fatal consequences of rejecting reason and failing to listen to your enemy.
I am rather vindicated to see a Christian philosophy of such profundity. For most of my life, it seemed that all deep Christian thought had been lost. For Protestants, it was government schools that overwrit their history and intellectual tradition. Catholics seemed to abdicate their role in carrying these ideas into the public sphere without a whimper. It brightens my day to see Christian intellect isn't completely gone from the world.
Brainwright True but it's interesting to note that it means they also saw the end point of Dr Peterson's point in a real way. That the loss of belief in the transcendent descends into totalitarianism and literal hell on earth.
that intellect still exists in the Eastern Orthodox perspective. It's always been very unique when compared to other sects, and i think it't because of it's metaphysical approach. Imagine the difficulty for surviving under communist rule, as well as Ottoman rule.
I'm not a religious person, and can be counted as someone who doesn't really care if god exists or not, but if you refuse to learn the lessons religion has to teach you that is your mistake. Many atheists make it out of purely arrogant contempt. These stories had to come from somewhere, and Jordan Peterson in this video definitely articulates the importance of where they did. It's not even something just Christian intellects can learn from, but anyone can and everyone should.
It's partly because it's got Christianity in the title, and a lot of people nowadays associate that with stupidity. A shame, because this video is incredibly deep.
He embodies the archetypal hero he is talking about, he is walking the talk. He uses new knowledge(advances in psychology) to give life the old knowledge(bible,myths,etc). Amazing guy, true hero of our times but as Jesus(and other wise heroes) at his time, not many people understand him or take him seriously. Good thing we live in times where he can be heard by people like us and not be killed by the church.
The fact that these truths are so relevant and personal to each person is both terrifying and beautifully profound. How unique yet same we all are! Christ’s story speaks to all of us so intimately. Amazing!
I've listened to and read a lot of Peterson but THIS lecture in particular really changed my life. I am now taking the hero's path and fighting one inner dragon at a time with my sword of truth and light. Each fight takes a lot of energy and is painful in the moment but I always end up better off on the other side. Thank you Dr. Peterson and keep doing God's work!
When he talks about participating in endless death and renewal over and over for growth I couldn’t help but be so thankful for the Eucharist as a Catholic. Taking part in the sacrifice of Jesus to give me the grace to make my own sacrifices necessary for my life.
25 minutes roughly, this is one of the most profound things I've ever heard in my life. They didn't understand how to express the way that sacrifice induces change and strengthens your control over yourself, so they acted it out. Absolutely mind blowing
Yeah, maybe if your dad was profoundly articulate, thoughtful and intelligent and understood human nature in relation to spirituality and religion like no other current public figures out there! (Sooo definitely *not* like any old home video of my dad that I've ever seen!)
This man is giving me a profound new way of interpreting the Bible. One that would probably upset most Atheists because of how high of a regard it gives these stories and how positive it views Christian theological ideas, and upset most believers with how he considers it still something humans wrote, how evolution may have shaped us, and how there is some wisdom from non-western sources. The way his speech resonates with my everyday experience in life is both exciting and terrifying. And I like his use of that word, "Terrifying." No deep meaning of this existence that answers the question of suffering would be anything but.
It's a bad idea to begin with the figurative and end with the literal, the Church defines boundaries infallibly and then afterwards one may delve into the endless layers of the Sacred Scriptures and the Sacred Tradition. Genesis is literal history, as explained at the 4th latteran council and maintained by the Church for 2000 years until the recent modernism. Heresies have been faught in the past, this one is no different in principle and so will be eliminated, the heresy of modernism. However to be clear, Jordan Peterson's analysis is welcome and before him we have had many excellent theologians that have done the same. I would consider the Desert Fathers to be a good example of this by their emphasis on Christian Mysticism. But I would warn all of you that the Orthodox Church right now is in schism, which is a mortal sin, they have not had any ecumenical councils ever since the schism and have basically been left in the dust of nationalism in contrast with the catholicity of Rome which is the Mother Church, the Holy See.
Rowland Rose well.. I'm an atheist and from my perspective... Everything he says makes perfect sense and even Further confirms my belief that there is no god. WE are god.
Stop thinking too highly of yourself Brandon, you didn't even choose your parents, and you claim to be a god? You will die like a man, the worms will eat your flesh, and your soul will fall like a brick into hell never to exit. But if you humble yourself, God Almighty will share his nature with you, and you will enter theosis. And only at that point can it be properly said, by association, that you are a god. God became man, so that that man being helped by God could become a god.
Destynation QXYZ I do not at all claim to be a god. I specifically said We are god. And I didn't mean that literally. I meant it as an analogy for the way life works. Treat your fellow man as if he were yourself. We are one. We are United. We as creatures of the earth, make up the force that binds the universe together, "Life".
This is by far the best talk he ever gave. It talks in detail about everything else he says. It seems to be the core of Jordan’s observed pattern in history
I'm shook.... Like, I'm paralyzed right now. This reminds me of something of how JK Rowling developed the Harry Potter books. She always named the characters with loaded meaning that associated characters to certain traits, ancient families, plot foreshadowing, biblical meaning, relations to European myths / epics, and references to history. What you point out here, that Jordan Peterson has a last name that coincidentally and hypothetically implying he's the heir of St. Peter, is something out of a Harry Potter book. It makes me consider if JK Rowling's naming convention of characters is something that occurs in our objective human world....
Think of it this way...if an author can choose names in a book to mean somthing...then if God is God, then he is thexpected author of life. He carefully crafted each of our characters, chose our names.
I'm 68 and wish I could take up psychology too,,, silly , isn't it ,,, that guy has a magical mouth , to say the least ,, and quiet wise ,, wish there was more like him ,
I had the widest most fulfilling smile on my face when you brought up the meaninglessness of life vs the fear of responsibility I wrote sth like years ago which always puzzled me,now oh my sweet god it just blossomed in my mind what the true meaning of what I wrote was Thank you
the thing that I wrote: What is my true purpose in life ? to live something great to be there standing knowing that I am the one who never lied ,who never cheated,Who loved truly,who was... to find out what is it all about I want o know to be alive ? doesnt having a purpose suppose to be stimulating ? I want to bepart of something grey,foggy this proves wht am I,I am grey and foggy I am unkown to myself I want to sleep sleeep sleep sleeep sleeeep sleeeep sleeeeep sleeeepppp sleeeeeeeeep when Im asleep Im safe im in control nothing from outside world can reach the nightmares can be avoided by waking up but in real life nothing can be undone everything sticks with you forever so what now ? some people are meant to be dead maybe
Life to me is simply getting through daily life hopefully, with a good mate and partner who shows humility, leadership and innocent behavior whom makes you number one. If you are blessed with children, it is a bonus and a gift. Work together to make the best family you can giving boundaries and love. Growing old is never a fear together with your beloved, because you stay young at heart loving the things of God. Work on communication and solving problems and fears from the beginning.
Maybe thats why political correctness ppl and safe spaces ppl dont like him much :) Becouse you know, every micro-agression (telling critical things about you) seems like micro death and like developing of our minds upon that which can hurt us for a while. But those ppl dont want to be hurt by anything and any hard situation for them seems like micro-agression which should be deligalised or smt :)
Thank you, Prof. Peterson, for helping me to better understand the meaning of life. I cannot say for how many hours, I've watched your lectures. You made my life better and you gave me hope. Because of your explanations I bought myself a bible. Church could never convince me to be interested in religion. You did convince me with every lecture. I will read the bible, to learn how to act properly. I can do that most of the time, because I am your age and learned a lot during my life. But now I want to understand "how to act". When I started some time ago to think about speaking the truth as an instrument to help our society, I suddenly found your lectures and heard you saying, that speaking the truth, searching for truth and being unafraid of the truth is a remedy for many things that go wrong between people. You should tour Europe...we would need you here...I always had the feeling, that thinking is not a "direct" way of producing an answer. I believe that the thinking process is an "opening" process, where the mind opens itself to an answer that is already there. It's like if the thinking process allows the mind to be fearless enough, to "stomach" the answer that will come, even if they seem trivial. Thinking is a process that opens the mind to an universal truth, step by step. These answers are not in our brains, our brain is tuning in to a "bigger brain", that surrounds and connects us. This sounds a bit weird, but I do believe, that we all are surrounded by this universal knowledge or truth, maybe we are even a part of it.
Dr. Peterson, in this lecture on redemption, delivers humankind with the answers we need to know and translate each in our personal life, to truly evolve and reach a state of grace again! Magnificent, he should get the Nobel Peace Price for his work! It's - so helpful!
"Follow what you’re interested in. It will take you to adversity and then through it. It will transform you from a citizen into an individual and then the doors will open again and at that point you’re strong enough not to fall prey to pathological belief systems and work towards the destruction of things." (Follow your bliss - you will get blisters but you'll grow tougher skin.)
This man touch all three aspects of human (Thoughts, Actions and Speech) with the imperative to steering it toward righteousness and meaning. This is a common pattern in a lots of religion but his articulation and knowledge made the wine new and easier to approach for the mass. What a blessing!
Thank you Dr. Peterson for your continued dedication in teaching "responsibility , purpose and meaning" is a life long journey. God Bless You Always. 2021-01-04
Tears of joy well up in the realisation that here is another human being who knows about the realities of life but also can fully articulate about them.
I took Dr Peterson's advice on the Truth to heart and it has changed my life. My personal transformation has been extremely painful but I can now thank God for my sufferings. And like he said, when you live in Truth, you live in a habitable state that's akin to the Kingdom of God. I think he's right. I think I have found the Kingdom of God through my pursuit of Truth
And absolutely beautiful beautiful presentation I have to say you have been an absolute moving force in my life for the better and if I might add if you ever do see this comment I want you to know that I will always remember what you have done for me and I will always be grateful and hold you in a place in my heart for you have impacted my life as much as those I love dearly there for you deserve a place beside them thank you Jordan Peterson thank U for helping me discover what it means to be an adult and to be a man not to speak ill of my own father but he never set an example and I wanted to say thank you for showing me the way sincerely Michael
He will be doing a 25 part lecture series starting in May. It will be on a similar topic that relates christianity to psychology. It looks very ambitious. I was in fairly nihilistic place for a while; not totally, but just lacked a bit of direction. I'm really forward to it, he is very motivational for me.
I was one of the people who complained about the church. But now I realized how wrong I was. I need to take responsibility for it. You need to take responsibility for it. We can't sit passively and expect the priests to do the job for us. The real Church consists of all of us. We are a living organism that can create and change reality. That's one of the things I realized listening to You, Dr Peterson. There are so many things I am grateful to you about. I found the depth of Christianity thanks to your words and reading the Bible from a different perspective.
Jordan peterson you have change my mind in so many positive ways just realise how much chaos there is in my life. Also to change my behaviour and open my eyes to see through a wider lense.
This is the Message for our tormented modern hearts and the crumbling civilisation! May this inspiring powerful sermon be spread all over the world . Let there be Light! This is It!
I love how he hasn’t even come out as a faithful Christian yet, whether he realizes the Lord is doing His work through him right now, or he will realize it in the future. It’s amazing how God works, He always shows you that He was there guiding you the entire way, and even when we turn away from walking in love and truth, He uses our straying away for the greatest good, which is His will, He will use even the least of us to continued proclaiming, the Kingdom is at hand!
Great stuff, Dr. Peterson. I wonder, have you read St. Therese of Lisieux, 'Story of a Soul' ? Upon a first read through, one may find - especially a man - it to be cloying and heavy handed in old-fashioned Catholicism. And yet something else may call you back : here is a simple, uneducated country girl who enters a contemplative order and dies young. Her diary circulated following her death and gained millions of fans. Why? She details a 'little way' to the great goal that you have described in this lecture. With your lecture and her story - deeply steeped in Biblical wisdom - I have no excuse for giving in to despair. Thank you.
I was once on a date with a man and we were discussing our Christian faith. I mentioned the wonderful "myth of Adam and Eve and the Garden" and he became very gruff and almost left me to eat my food alone. He told me how offended he was that I called it a myth. A myth often conveys a deeper truth than a factual history report. Jordan is great at explaining that.
Jordan looks like Trey Parker from South Park here, but this is without a doubt, one of the most thought provoking videos on UA-cam. Dr. JP, good work sir
I listened to all the lectures on the pscychological significance of the bible stories. But this lecture.....even though it was 5 years ago......to me is the pinnacle of the mountain. Wow. This man has helped me tremendously to understand God better. Thank you.
Dr. Peterson, when you said: "You all know this......when you have a deeply meaningful conversation with someone..." I feel every time I listen to you I am having a deeply meaningful conversation with you and I want to thank you so much for these lectures. Right now, I feel that as soon as I finished listening to this lecture I have to go and read my Bible and continue the meaningful conversation with the Lord. Thank you for lighting the path.... :-)
Love this guys passion, determination, and the depth of his mind ... especially his ability to perceive the inter-connectivity and relationships between different archetypal symbols which have manifested in the different records of the human anthropological corpus. What a refreshing character to have embedded in modern academia, fighting the regressive forces from within the beast itself. Jordan Peterson is like a modern day Jonah in the whale.
Dr Jordan Peterson, aged 50, delivering yet another outstanding and thought-provoking lecture. This great Canadian, so denigrated and mocked by resentful, unevolved people on the left, is a seeker of truth. He has a brilliant mind, moral courage, integrity, burning passion and genuine altruism. I can't understand why the Ontario College of Psychologists will not let him practise in that province, nor indeed why certain elements within Canada appear to want to persecute this wonderful man. But there are millions and millions of us round the world who support Dr Peterson and benefit every day from his writings and other online materials. The twice weekly interviews on You Tube are always stimulating, and I am enjoying slowly working my way through Dr Peterson's reading list, Carl Jung, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Oliver Sacks being my favourites so far. Indeed the four of Jung's books that I've read so far have blown my mind and I know I'll read more. I love the way Dr Peterson explains the Bible, he's far more convincing than many a theologian. Dr Peterson deserves to win the Nobel Prize. He's a bright star in the firmament and long may he shine. A hug and a thank you from a fan in the UK.
absolutely, completely bloody amazing; life changing insight. and no one got to their feet in applauding amazement afterwards. what more do they bloody want..? dr peterson, sir. keep on. we need you.
Dear Dr. Peterson and followers, Deepest gratitude for your generosity, I wish to share two changes that allowed me to regain health from weakened immune system. First I had all amalgam fillings removed and replaced as they where severely affecting my immune system leading to many symptoms, brain fog, allergies, low energy, the conditions began to imorove as soon as having the work done by a caring qualified dentist in Huntsville ontario.
You should have a conversation with Stephan Molynuex. He's been touching on this stuff lately and I think you have important insights that his audience could benefit from.
Mustard Lee I think Peterson would make Molynuex look like the amateur he is, which is why he'd never have him on. Like I said, it would be to the benefit of his audience, not him.
I grew up in a Christian world, but never undrrstood why that was meaningful. On the contrary, it seemed a weird relic of the past, but now I am beginning to see all that is left unsaid, because it has already become so normal, that it seems obvious truth. Yet in reality it is a constant struggle and choice we must make time over again and again. Thank you!
I am mind blown to see such discussion on a public stage. I would love to be able to correspond with this man to learn how to articulate my own experience with seeking understanding of the Bible as inspiration to the spirit and devastation to the carnal. It is refreshing to hear a testimony rather than a new religion, especially in our current environment.
The admission that the state is flawed brought to mind the United States. It's history is very biblical, from the outset it was constructed that way by the first settlers, but the United States is nation that was founded with the idea of it's flawed nature smacking it right in the face, where compromise over issues like slavery was there at the outset. Instead of damning it for being flawed like is increasingly done today, it should be praised for nation that has always been aware of it's issues and set a high standard for itself that its people eagerly took up. Instead of being hypocritical, the underlying foundation of it as a country is that it's people can do better, must strive to practice what they preach while admitting that things will never be perfect and not con themselves into resting on their laurels. With that in mind, the Cold War takes on a new dynamic. As a conflict over those who admitted they don't have all the answers, but want to keep making things better and those who boldly exclaimed they had it all figured out and everyone else must fall into line.... or else.
Do you believe that some of the less significant nations of this world do a better job than the United States at admitting they don't have all the answers?
Kevin Jones That's not in the American spirit, which is constant improvement, both nationally and in ones self. Problem solving ties into their ambition and competitive nature as well as both their arrogance and self esteem, oppose to the old European order and the new one rife with self doubt and self loathing. I'd also say answers are not exactly the concern of a global hegemon, they have more pressing matters. America found that out with nation building.
This guy is incredibly articulate with his ideas, its awesome. I was baptized in the Roman Catholic church and attended Catholic schools throughout my early youth... so much more appreciative now of the foundation it has given me subconsciously...thanks Mr Peterson... 🐻 the heavy load!
I grew up in a Christian fundamentalist household, and one time I asked my dad "why did they kill Jesus?". I knew that he died for our sins and all of that but I wanted to know why people would kill such a great person, because that didn't make any sense to me. He said "well, he told the truth, and people don't like hearing the truth". I've never forgotten that, and it blew me away when he said that. That was so long ago it almost feels like a past life, but it's wonderful to hear Peterson talk about how Christ's higher value was to speak the truth, to speak order into chaos, to speak the logos'. There is something truly profound and, well, true about this idea.
William Koscielniak yesss 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
and Jesus is above Jordan
that's right. Jesus also did not oppose taxation and did not make military action against any one, even told Peter to not fight off the Roman soldiers that arrested Jesus unjustly. Jesus was concerned of the spiritual kingdom of God, not of worldly governments or organizational structure John 18:36
Jane Doe... we don't really know what Jesus didn't do. I am not claiming that he did speak out against slavery, but I do think that parts of the story were omitted. So we can't really say too much about what he didn't do, we only know what he did do.

"To become self aware is to wake up into a nightmare. " Wow.
I love this one. "Today we know in part.....then we will know even as we are known." That is a mind blowing realization. We see through a glass darkly... Peterson is cleaning the glass! His wisdom and insights are amazing. Most misunderstand him.

yes! I can only watch maybe one video of shallow distraction before I come back to Jordan or pursuit of truth. I've left the harbor, but I'm not yet sure if I have a rudder

@@meweaz3 Your correction is incorrect.
I’ve been listening to him for 4 years and I think I know why he helped me so much. He got me to stop chasing happiness and impulsive pleasures and got me to chase meaning. Meaning in my life and my duty as a son, a father, a brother, a husband and member of my community. To not only NOT be bad or be a neutral waste of space but get out there and help create a world my kids live in. People get hung up on what society should do for them, or what society owes them. That’s why the victim hood pushers hate him. He teaches people to not blame others for your problems. Get out there and bear your own cross. You might be suffering but guess what we live on the hard work and suffering of our ancestors who suffered way more than us. Man up and get out there. That’s what I’ve learned most about this great man.
This might be my favourite of his. Possibly because I am a Christian. But still. he was in the zone. The whole talk was full of incredible insights. he slowed down a bit too. This deserves much more than a million views.

John 3:30 "He must become greater; I must become less.”
Good work, Peter son
He inter peters well.
this comment tho
Came across DrJ Peterson after watching a social justice warrior attempting to debate him with no intention of listening. So glad to have found and subscribed to your channel, feel lucky I have 150 to watch too, great topics!
Exactly how I found him. Someone who could stay so calm during that has to have a lot of understanding and conviction.
rumrumimurmur me too! This is what I have been searching for my entire life.
The SJWs have done us a favor. I wouldn't have known about Peterson otherwise.
Yes! Same here
I think all the SJWs, despite all of their destructive void like hatred, have done many favours for us all. They point out that we're not as good as we say we are, we're all 'implicitly racist' and 'sexist', and that maybe we should actually value and protect Western Culture that has done so much good. They show that Tribalism is a major part of human nature. They show the fatal consequences of rejecting reason and failing to listen to your enemy.
I am rather vindicated to see a Christian philosophy of such profundity.
For most of my life, it seemed that all deep Christian thought had been lost. For Protestants, it was government schools that overwrit their history and intellectual tradition. Catholics seemed to abdicate their role in carrying these ideas into the public sphere without a whimper.
It brightens my day to see Christian intellect isn't completely gone from the world.
Brainwright It never left the eastern tradition.
Pretty amazing considering that the Eastern Orthodox church bore the brunt of communist dictatorships.
Brainwright True but it's interesting to note that it means they also saw the end point of Dr Peterson's point in a real way. That the loss of belief in the transcendent descends into totalitarianism and literal hell on earth.
that intellect still exists in the Eastern Orthodox perspective. It's always been very unique when compared to other sects, and i think it't because of it's metaphysical approach. Imagine the difficulty for surviving under communist rule, as well as Ottoman rule.
I'm not a religious person, and can be counted as someone who doesn't really care if god exists or not, but if you refuse to learn the lessons religion has to teach you that is your mistake. Many atheists make it out of purely arrogant contempt. These stories had to come from somewhere, and Jordan Peterson in this video definitely articulates the importance of where they did. It's not even something just Christian intellects can learn from, but anyone can and everyone should.
How does this not have a million views
Because people don't like to think deeply.
It's partly because it's got Christianity in the title, and a lot of people nowadays associate that with stupidity. A shame, because this video is incredibly deep.
It's an hour long and the brand recognition is low.
Because it's truth and the world hates truth.
jeremy patrick avoiding death and rebirth, too difficult to confront and accept truth
He embodies the archetypal hero he is talking about, he is walking the talk. He uses new knowledge(advances in psychology) to give life the old knowledge(bible,myths,etc). Amazing guy, true hero of our times but as Jesus(and other wise heroes) at his time, not many people understand him or take him seriously. Good thing we live in times where he can be heard by people like us and not be killed by the church.
The fact that these truths are so relevant and personal to each person is both terrifying and beautifully profound. How unique yet same we all are! Christ’s story speaks to all of us so intimately. Amazing!
This may be the single most profound and consequential exposition on the real meaning and import of the Christian faith I have ever heard articulated.
That litterally brought me to tears at the end.
I love this man. He is Everyman.
He is very wise indeed.
He is much needed!
Yup.
I’d love to have a front row seat when this man receives a Nobel Prize
Truly God’s gift to humanity 🙏🏽🙌🏽
i don't think i have heard a better talk in my life. it is as if i resonate and align with this
I've listened to and read a lot of Peterson but THIS lecture in particular really changed my life. I am now taking the hero's path and fighting one inner dragon at a time with my sword of truth and light. Each fight takes a lot of energy and is painful in the moment but I always end up better off on the other side. Thank you Dr. Peterson and keep doing God's work!
When he talks about participating in endless death and renewal over and over for growth I couldn’t help but be so thankful for the Eucharist as a Catholic. Taking part in the sacrifice of Jesus to give me the grace to make my own sacrifices necessary for my life.
@Dave Rodriguez nice profile picture
You brought me to tears with the beauty and meaning, of the words you spoke.
25 minutes roughly, this is one of the most profound things I've ever heard in my life. They didn't understand how to express the way that sacrifice induces change and strengthens your control over yourself, so they acted it out. Absolutely mind blowing
Watching young(er) Jordan Peterson is like watching an old home video of your dad.
I love this XD
You’re right about that lol
Yeah, maybe if your dad was profoundly articulate, thoughtful and intelligent and understood human nature in relation to spirituality and religion like no other current public figures out there! (Sooo definitely *not* like any old home video of my dad that I've ever seen!)
that's an adorable sentiment! I like it
@Fateh Mammadli Christ died for your sin.
Why don't you want to hear about it?
This man is giving me a profound new way of interpreting the Bible. One that would probably upset most Atheists because of how high of a regard it gives these stories and how positive it views Christian theological ideas, and upset most believers with how he considers it still something humans wrote, how evolution may have shaped us, and how there is some wisdom from non-western sources. The way his speech resonates with my everyday experience in life is both exciting and terrifying. And I like his use of that word, "Terrifying." No deep meaning of this existence that answers the question of suffering would be anything but.
Rowland Rose yeah he gave the whole idea of Christianity a new angle I like it. I used to feel gross when ppl mentioned the Bible
It's a bad idea to begin with the figurative and end with the literal, the Church defines boundaries infallibly and then afterwards one may delve into the endless layers of the Sacred Scriptures and the Sacred Tradition.
Genesis is literal history, as explained at the 4th latteran council and maintained by the Church for 2000 years until the recent modernism.
Heresies have been faught in the past, this one is no different in principle and so will be eliminated, the heresy of modernism.
However to be clear, Jordan Peterson's analysis is welcome and before him we have had many excellent theologians that have done the same.
I would consider the Desert Fathers to be a good example of this by their emphasis on Christian Mysticism.
But I would warn all of you that the Orthodox Church right now is in schism, which is a mortal sin, they have not had any ecumenical councils ever since the schism and have basically been left in the dust of nationalism in contrast with the catholicity of Rome which is the Mother Church, the Holy See.
Rowland Rose well.. I'm an atheist and from my perspective... Everything he says makes perfect sense and even Further confirms my belief that there is no god. WE are god.
Stop thinking too highly of yourself Brandon, you didn't even choose your parents, and you claim to be a god?
You will die like a man, the worms will eat your flesh, and your soul will fall like a brick into hell never to exit.
But if you humble yourself, God Almighty will share his nature with you, and you will enter theosis.
And only at that point can it be properly said, by association, that you are a god.
God became man, so that that man being helped by God could become a god.
Destynation QXYZ I do not at all claim to be a god. I specifically said We are god. And I didn't mean that literally. I meant it as an analogy for the way life works. Treat your fellow man as if he were yourself. We are one. We are United. We as creatures of the earth, make up the force that binds the universe together, "Life".
no matter how deep you look into the Bible it will always work for you
God bless Jordan Peterson. He has been a "light" in the darkness of this modern age. Thank you, Dr. Peterson.
Humility is the best pursuit, you nailed it
Svarog try listening here...it’s another dose of reality, except Raven-Hill believes in what he says...
ua-cam.com/video/n_5vbnJHPBI/v-deo.html
I'm actually *the* most humile person, ever, no-one is more humile than I am.
This is by far the best talk he ever gave. It talks in detail about everything else he says. It seems to be the core of Jordan’s observed pattern in history
I admire you very much. I am an orthodox christian. What you say is very similar to what we are teached in church. God bless you! Amin!
This is the closest to prophetic I have ever seen in real (or close to real) time. What a brilliant creature.
Yes
I find it coincidentally beautiful and poetic that this man's name is Peterson (originally derived from "Peter's Son").
I'm shook.... Like, I'm paralyzed right now. This reminds me of something of how JK Rowling developed the Harry Potter books. She always named the characters with loaded meaning that associated characters to certain traits, ancient families, plot foreshadowing, biblical meaning, relations to European myths / epics, and references to history.
What you point out here, that Jordan Peterson has a last name that coincidentally and hypothetically implying he's the heir of St. Peter, is something out of a Harry Potter book.
It makes me consider if JK Rowling's naming convention of characters is something that occurs in our objective human world....
Think of it this way...if an author can choose names in a book to mean somthing...then if God is God, then he is thexpected author of life. He carefully crafted each of our characters, chose our names.
Joey Kishpaugh BOOOOOOMMM! Thank you!!!!
Very symbolic.
And no one is noticing his first name?
My daughter wants to study psychology. Wish I could afford to send her to Cansda to be taught by this guy.
The Broccoli Lobby he'd pinch her butt
The Broccoli Lobby
Teach her common sense, the rest is in books.
I'm 68 and wish I could take up psychology too,,, silly , isn't it ,,, that guy has a magical mouth , to say the least ,, and quiet wise ,, wish there was more like him ,
Same
I think he does online courses. Look at his website. All the best.
I had the widest most fulfilling smile on my face when you brought up the meaninglessness of life vs the fear of responsibility
I wrote sth like years ago which always puzzled me,now oh my sweet god it just blossomed in my mind what the true meaning of what I wrote was
Thank you
the thing that I wrote:
What is my true purpose in life ?
to live
something great
to be there standing knowing that I am the one who never lied ,who never cheated,Who loved truly,who was...
to find out what is it all about
I want o know
to be alive ?
doesnt having a purpose suppose to be stimulating ?
I want to bepart of something grey,foggy
this proves wht am I,I am grey and foggy
I am unkown to myself
I want to sleep
sleeep
sleep
sleeep
sleeeep
sleeeep
sleeeeep
sleeeepppp
sleeeeeeeeep
when Im asleep Im safe
im in control
nothing from outside world can reach
the nightmares can be avoided by waking up
but in real life nothing can be undone
everything sticks with you forever
so what now ?
some people are meant to be dead maybe
@@QWERTY19905 To live forever.
Life to me is simply getting through daily life hopefully, with a good mate and partner who shows humility, leadership and innocent behavior whom makes you number one. If you are blessed with children, it is a bonus and a gift. Work together to make the best family you can giving boundaries and love. Growing old is never a fear together with your beloved, because you stay young at heart loving the things of God. Work on communication and solving problems and fears from the beginning.
Redemption: "endless micro death & renewal produces existence into deep transformation & meaning for oneself and those around us."
Maybe thats why political correctness ppl and safe spaces ppl dont like him much :) Becouse you know, every micro-agression (telling critical things about you) seems like micro death and like developing of our minds upon that which can hurt us for a while. But those ppl dont want to be hurt by anything and any hard situation for them seems like micro-agression which should be deligalised or smt :)
Jesus Christ I have been binge watching this channel.
The blasphemy is kinda ironic... 😂
Me too!
One of the smartest men I've ever learned of!
I'm just some random dude from California and I love this guy. JP brings meaning to so many lives.
" your speech is about attempting to represent what you believe to be True in the most concise and clear manner possible no matter what!" wow.
Thank you, Prof. Peterson, for helping me to better understand the meaning of life. I cannot say for how many hours, I've watched your lectures. You made my life better and you gave me hope. Because of your explanations I bought myself a bible. Church could never convince me to be interested in religion. You did convince me with every lecture. I will read the bible, to learn how to act properly. I can do that most of the time, because I am your age and learned a lot during my life. But now I want to understand "how to act". When I started some time ago to think about speaking the truth as an instrument to help our society, I suddenly found your lectures and heard you saying, that speaking the truth, searching for truth and being unafraid of the truth is a remedy for many things that go wrong between people.
You should tour Europe...we would need you here...I always had the feeling, that thinking is not a "direct" way of producing an answer. I believe that the thinking process is an "opening" process, where the mind opens itself to an answer that is already there. It's like if the thinking process allows the mind to be fearless enough, to "stomach" the answer that will come, even if they seem trivial.
Thinking is a process that opens the mind to an universal truth, step by step. These answers are not in our brains, our brain is tuning in to a "bigger brain", that surrounds and connects us. This sounds a bit weird, but I do believe, that we all are surrounded by this universal knowledge or truth, maybe we are even a part of it.
This man has to be more listened to.
@jeffrey kingsbury
yours hasn't aged so well yet
Greatest philosopher since Nietzsche
Dr. Peterson, in this lecture on redemption, delivers humankind with the answers we need to know and translate each in our personal life, to truly evolve and reach a state of grace again! Magnificent, he should get the Nobel Peace Price for his work! It's - so helpful!
"Follow what you’re interested in. It will take you to adversity and then through it. It will transform you from a citizen into an individual and then the doors will open again and at that point you’re strong enough not to fall prey to pathological belief systems and work towards the destruction of things."
(Follow your bliss - you will get blisters but you'll grow tougher skin.)

This man touch all three aspects of human (Thoughts, Actions and Speech) with the imperative to steering it toward righteousness and meaning. This is a common pattern in a lots of religion but his articulation and knowledge made the wine new and easier to approach for the mass. What a blessing!
This is one of the best explanations of the correlation between the Bible and reality I've heard.
Thank you Dr. Peterson for your continued dedication in teaching "responsibility , purpose and meaning" is a life long journey. God Bless You Always. 2021-01-04
I've returned to this talk more than all his others, full of revelations one after another.
Tears of joy well up in the realisation that here is another human being who knows about the realities of life but also can fully articulate about them.
Nothing short of amazing. Aim for the highest value!
I took Dr Peterson's advice on the Truth to heart and it has changed my life. My personal transformation has been extremely painful but I can now thank God for my sufferings. And like he said, when you live in Truth, you live in a habitable state that's akin to the Kingdom of God. I think he's right. I think I have found the Kingdom of God through my pursuit of Truth
And absolutely beautiful beautiful presentation I have to say you have been an absolute moving force in my life for the better and if I might add if you ever do see this comment I want you to know that I will always remember what you have done for me and I will always be grateful and hold you in a place in my heart for you have impacted my life as much as those I love dearly there for you deserve a place beside them thank you Jordan Peterson thank U for helping me discover what it means to be an adult and to be a man not to speak ill of my own father but he never set an example and I wanted to say thank you for showing me the way
sincerely Michael
"I'm going to go wherever the attempt to speak the truth will take me" says the world renowned truth teller
He will be doing a 25 part lecture series starting in May. It will be on a similar topic that relates christianity to psychology. It looks very ambitious. I was in fairly nihilistic place for a while; not totally, but just lacked a bit of direction. I'm really forward to it, he is very motivational for me.
Get well Dr Peterson and comeback stronger and healthier than ever. You are a great man!
I’m back in college and I didn’t have to pay tuition. Thank you Professor Peterson. You truly are the man!

Jordan Peterson is my pathway to Jesus Christ and I never ever thought this could have happened to me
This guy made me face up to reality and stop living in illusion while thinking I'm awake.
Literally the key to positive existence pulled through time by a genuine genius. I’ve watched this every month for two years.
“Aim at the highest value.
Sacrifice what’s no longer useful or valid in yourself.
Tell the truth.”
I was one of the people who complained about the church. But now I realized how wrong I was. I need to take responsibility for it. You need to take responsibility for it. We can't sit passively and expect the priests to do the job for us. The real Church consists of all of us. We are a living organism that can create and change reality. That's one of the things I realized listening to You, Dr Peterson. There are so many things I am grateful to you about. I found the depth of Christianity thanks to your words and reading the Bible from a different perspective.
Man is this guy a wealth of knowledge. I'm going to do his self authoring course-- pretty challenging stuff though.
This man is changing my life. Forever grateful for jordan ❤️ you have helped me more than you could possibly know
Just simply stunning.
Jordan peterson you have change my mind in so many positive ways just realise how much chaos there is in my life. Also to change my behaviour and open my eyes to see through a wider lense.
41:40 - You're NOT a ship at the mercy of the wind. You're a ship guided by a star, wherever the winds and currents happen to be going.
I see what you mean, but if that wind (Ruach) is the Holy Spirit (Ruach) of God, it is good to be at His mercy :-)
This is the Message for our tormented modern hearts and the crumbling civilisation! May this inspiring powerful sermon be spread all over the world . Let there be Light! This is It!
If you don't have time for the full talk , skip to 42:12. Religious or not, this applies to us all. Brilliant.
JP is my spiritual dad man, I have learned more from this man in 2 years than I've ever THOUGHT I knew all my life, TY PA
I love how he hasn’t even come out as a faithful Christian yet, whether he realizes the Lord is doing His work through him right now, or he will realize it in the future. It’s amazing how God works, He always shows you that He was there guiding you the entire way, and even when we turn away from walking in love and truth, He uses our straying away for the greatest good, which is His will, He will use even the least of us to continued proclaiming, the Kingdom is at hand!
Great stuff, Dr. Peterson. I wonder, have you read St. Therese of Lisieux, 'Story of a Soul' ? Upon a first read through, one may find - especially a man - it to be cloying and heavy handed in old-fashioned Catholicism. And yet something else may call you back : here is a simple, uneducated country girl who enters a contemplative order and dies young. Her diary circulated following her death and gained millions of fans. Why? She details a 'little way' to the great goal that you have described in this lecture. With your lecture and her story - deeply steeped in Biblical wisdom - I have no excuse for giving in to despair. Thank you.

I was once on a date with a man and we were discussing our Christian faith. I mentioned the wonderful "myth of Adam and Eve and the Garden" and he became very gruff and almost left me to eat my food alone. He told me how offended he was that I called it a myth. A myth often conveys a deeper truth than a factual history report. Jordan is great at explaining that.
Chamomile Tea So you’re a Christian?
The best video even seen. Every single thing he said here is pure GOLD. Unreal
Right? I found myself being in a state of being as he explained what being in state of being was. Mind blown.
Jordan looks like Trey Parker from South Park here, but this is without a doubt, one of the most thought provoking videos on UA-cam. Dr. JP, good work sir
I listened to all the lectures on the pscychological significance of the bible stories. But this lecture.....even though it was 5 years ago......to me is the pinnacle of the mountain. Wow. This man has helped me tremendously to understand God better. Thank you.
“State establishes then collapses”
Timely
It's a blessing you are being discovered these days where have you been your popularity is appreciated
He spoke not as the scribes do but as one who has authority.
Dr. Peterson, when you said: "You all know this......when you have a deeply meaningful conversation with someone..." I feel every time I listen to you I am having a deeply meaningful conversation with you and I want to thank you so much for these lectures. Right now, I feel that as soon as I finished listening to this lecture I have to go and read my Bible and continue the meaningful conversation with the Lord. Thank you for lighting the path.... :-)
This was absolutely phenomenal. I would be fascinated to hear a talk from him specifically on the book of Revelation.
Great idea
He briefly talks about Revelation in his Sam Harris talks.
Peterson has a very good way of integrating and explaining complex ideas.
Love this guys passion, determination, and the depth of his mind ... especially his ability to perceive the inter-connectivity and relationships between different archetypal symbols which have manifested in the different records of the human anthropological corpus. What a refreshing character to have embedded in modern academia, fighting the regressive forces from within the beast itself. Jordan Peterson is like a modern day Jonah in the whale.
Dr Jordan Peterson, aged 50, delivering yet another outstanding and thought-provoking lecture. This great Canadian, so denigrated and mocked by resentful, unevolved people on the left, is a seeker of truth. He has a brilliant mind, moral courage, integrity, burning passion and genuine altruism. I can't understand why the Ontario College of Psychologists will not let him practise in that province, nor indeed why certain elements within Canada appear to want to persecute this wonderful man. But there are millions and millions of us round the world who support Dr Peterson and benefit every day from his writings and other online materials. The twice weekly interviews on You Tube are always stimulating, and I am enjoying slowly working my way through Dr Peterson's reading list, Carl Jung, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Oliver Sacks being my favourites so far. Indeed the four of Jung's books that I've read so far have blown my mind and I know I'll read more. I love the way Dr Peterson explains the Bible, he's far more convincing than many a theologian. Dr Peterson deserves to win the Nobel Prize. He's a bright star in the firmament and long may he shine. A hug and a thank you from a fan in the UK.
not everyone is searching for "meaning". Some are happy just to be alive, and that's about it.
absolutely, completely bloody amazing; life changing insight.
and no one got to their feet in applauding amazement afterwards. what more do they bloody want..? dr peterson, sir. keep on. we need you.
that suit tho
It's snazzy like he's got super powers!
He's definitely an individual thinker, so he definitely gets a pass by me for the suit ... heck, I think he might just become a fashion icon.
Look up other vids of him, sometimes he's wearing a blue v neck under his suit, he doesn't care lol
Looks like a sharkskin suit. Sharkskin has come a long way from the old weaves of silk and wool.
Before he sorted his diet and lost loads of weight....
Dear Dr. Peterson and followers, Deepest gratitude for your generosity,
I wish to share two changes that allowed me to regain health from weakened immune system.
First I had all amalgam fillings removed and replaced as they where severely affecting my immune system leading to many symptoms, brain fog, allergies, low energy, the conditions began to imorove as soon as having the work done by a caring qualified dentist in Huntsville ontario.
You should have a conversation with Stephan Molynuex. He's been touching on this stuff lately and I think you have important insights that his audience could benefit from.
Oh God no. I would shudder to think of Professor Peterson lending credibility to Molynuex's warped agenda.
Mustard Lee I think Peterson would make Molynuex look like the amateur he is, which is why he'd never have him on. Like I said, it would be to the benefit of his audience, not him.
Molynuex is a failed actor, Dr Peterson is far beyond his sophistry.
ShantyIrishman Hence why Stefan's *audience* should listen to Peterson.
Faceless Man Valid point.
I grew up in a Christian world, but never undrrstood why that was meaningful. On the contrary, it seemed a weird relic of the past, but now I am beginning to see all that is left unsaid, because it has already become so normal, that it seems obvious truth. Yet in reality it is a constant struggle and choice we must make time over again and again. Thank you!
His suit gives me life. Shine on you crazy lobster 😉😂
😆
Is this sharkskin?
I am mind blown to see such discussion on a public stage. I would love to be able to correspond with this man to learn how to articulate my own experience with seeking understanding of the Bible as inspiration to the spirit and devastation to the carnal. It is refreshing to hear a testimony rather than a new religion, especially in our current environment.
Genius ! How sad I didnt discover him earlier in life ...would had saved me tons of drama i misery ! Love JBP
Best video I've ever seen. But looking for someone to explain this to me properly for years.
beautiful example of awareness
Thank you, Mr. Peterson, you changed my life forever. I will see you in Phoenix on April 28, 2022.
How was it? I'm going to Manchester in September.
The admission that the state is flawed brought to mind the United States. It's history is very biblical, from the outset it was constructed that way by the first settlers, but the United States is nation that was founded with the idea of it's flawed nature smacking it right in the face, where compromise over issues like slavery was there at the outset.
Instead of damning it for being flawed like is increasingly done today, it should be praised for nation that has always been aware of it's issues and set a high standard for itself that its people eagerly took up. Instead of being hypocritical, the underlying foundation of it as a country is that it's people can do better, must strive to practice what they preach while admitting that things will never be perfect and not con themselves into resting on their laurels.
With that in mind, the Cold War takes on a new dynamic. As a conflict over those who admitted they don't have all the answers, but want to keep making things better and those who boldly exclaimed they had it all figured out and everyone else must fall into line.... or else.
Do you believe that some of the less significant nations of this world do a better job than the United States at admitting they don't have all the answers?
Kevin Jones
That's not in the American spirit, which is constant improvement, both nationally and in ones self. Problem solving ties into their ambition and competitive nature as well as both their arrogance and self esteem, oppose to the old European order and the new one rife with self doubt and self loathing.
I'd also say answers are not exactly the concern of a global hegemon, they have more pressing matters. America found that out with nation building.
Thanks for reposting this.perfect timing!
This analysis was quite stimulating.
This guy is incredibly articulate with his ideas, its awesome. I was baptized in the Roman Catholic church and attended Catholic schools throughout my early youth... so much more appreciative now of the foundation it has given me subconsciously...thanks Mr Peterson... 🐻 the heavy load!
