2017 Maps of Meaning 11: The Flood and the Tower
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2017
- In this lecture, I continue my discussion of the archaic stories at the beginning of Genesis, including Cain and Abel, and the flood story of Noah (the return of chaos), and the story of the Tower of Babel (which I am reading as a very old warning about the danger of erecting something akin to a totalitarian/utopian secular state -- so that is pathological order).

I like your voice Dr. Peterson, you speak well. Have you every considered doing a GPS program? I'd buy the shit out of that, "Jordan B. Peterson's maps of maps: the architecture of global positioning"
"Turn left in one mile... roughly speaking"
"Missed your turn bucko! Descend into chaos and re-emerge at the next intersection"
"Clean your damn car! It's full of snakes!!"

"You've arrived at the destination. And that's THAT!"
I literally laughed out loud at this and probably disturbed the neighbors, nice work. I would buy the shit out of a Jordan Peterson GPS.
It's 4AM and I think I just woke my parents laughing at this.
hahahahahahahah
JP: "you're not chasing impulsive pleasure, unless you're pathologically interested in this class"
me: ......
He knows, and he's fixing his judgmental gaze on you.
sitting in your home and watching videos in your free time is not the same as dropping everything and moving to another city so you can go to class
He's onto us.
LOL yeah I was thinking the exact same thing.
Yeah, the extent of my sacrifice watching this right now is that I could be choosing to watch anime or play video games, but I choose this instead. I hope the smoke from my computer buffering this video and the time spent watching and contemplating it shall be deemed savory and of sufficiently high quality to the spirit of my culture lest I should not be blessed with compensation in the future, but rather condemned to a violent flood.
No student loan was taken out for this knowledge I received today.... keep it coming, JP!!!
Invoke Clayton anti trust law of 1914 in the origination of an amendment that will give the people of the U.S. the ability to dismantle oligopolies. Oligopoly is the corporate structure behind which the media hides. Address the media and the rest will work itself out in time.
Me too! When I was in university I never had good stuff like this....but then again, back then the cost was under $300.00 a semester. I am getting my money's worth now!
BTW - Back then, if a student was not in the classroom on time, the door was closed and you dare not enter....no matter the reason. It was a privilege to attend...

So I was playing a video game while listening to this lecture, when suddenly my stepdad started screaming at my mom. I closed my laptop, hearing, "Fuck you, get out of my house." So I left my room to confront him, then my mom let me know we're moving out. I came back to my room, and I considered what to do. I could play my video game and pretend things were still fine in my home, or I could start working on a way to fix things... I've uninstalled my game, and I'm using this experience as an excuse to fix my life up. I'll keep listening to this lecture while I figure out what we'll do - we could move in a week, or a month, things are complicated.
The point is, I'll fix things, and make them a little better.
We're all gonna make it guys, one step at a time.
You got this man.
Wanna share an update?
Hang in there bud!
Regardless of where you are today, you'll be a better man than your stepdad
This is great. You can do it 💪
"The purpose of justice system is to alleviate you from the responsibility of revenge." WOW!
Just WOW
There is no justice system now.
that was remarkable
@@artandculture5262 the people that destroyed the justice systens, did that just to increasses the revenge acts or revenge feeling, and make normal people easier to enslave, take they out from society or just make their life harder to the point normal people cant worry about big economic, political or social topic.
@@artandculture5262 so revenge it is then!
“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.” ~Nietzsche
You most certainly have to act like one though, and that can bring you right to the edge of the abyss and the sense of L'Appelle du vide is powerful even to the point of intoxication, almost possessing a sense of je ne sais qoi because there may be a sense of empowerment that goes with it....roughly speaking.
MrFrank107 the translation I heard is considerably more elegant, if a bit archaic.
“Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster...”
"When you stare into the shit abyss long enough, the shit abyss stares back, Rand." - Jim Lahey
Oh you can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's starin' right back

@@WideAwakeHuman amen brother!
Over-protected as a child. Yep. Then I encountered the world and I broke. That was in November. Then I found this lecture series in December (all thanks to the sage Joe Rogan!) and I realize I was ill-equipped to fight the snakes that were growing right along side me and my ignorance.
What did you do? I ask for myself
1 book aided me immensely (and my family) - The Four Agreements. Another book to read - Nonviolent Communication. I'm also starting Peterson's Personality Series.
Same here.
All is not what it seems and there is more to the picture than meets the eye. I never said Joe was a great guy, never met him, never said he was particularly bad, again never met him. I have watched a ton of his content though and know more or less he is at least from the publics perspectives a bit of a court jester and thus indeed very popular, that, THAT, Popularity though is not a very good indicator of weather or not you are "good" or "bad". I don't agree with his ideologies and belief they are very bizarre, he gets into it in a few of his podcasts. I strongly disagree...LOL Perhaps he has had a little too much drugs. Your entitled to your opinion, Bucko, right or wrong. ;-) I think like Peterson has once said/referenced, he had read or heard that the information we receive while on hallucinogens we are simply not equipped to process or that you get that information at your own peril, seems to fit quite well into what I see in Rogan, he thinks he knows what he has received fleeting glimpses and sights of while on drugs which makes him believable but just barely and obviously he is not correct, more akin to being spiritually deceived. but again..Your entitled to your opinion.
its crazy how many people i can relate with
Having suffered from agoraphobia for about 2 years, this is completely and utterly true. At age 24 I suffered from a heat stroke and ended up in the hospital. After that I had extreme fear of heat and eventually fear of everything. Took 2 years of suffering and challenging myself but I am happy to say I overcame it totally and am finally strong on my own.
Im Free i give you a like. trust, from me that means a lot.
Thanks, I wish I had found JP when I was fighting with it. I remember looking everywhere for answers and cures. I almost went on medicine, the doctor wrote the script and I went to the pharmacy and picked it up. That was a big turning point for me, I knew right there and then that I didn't want to try medicine, that I could battle it on my own. The "easy" way never gets you very far in life. If anyone reading this knows someone suffering from agoraphobia it's important to let them know that it IS 100% curable, and you must challenge yourself everyday.
Im Free Congrats
RRK93 HaloHa lol what? xD
When I was in school, I hated lectures... I'd skip them, I'd fall asleep in them, all that. Now I'm watching lectures in my free time. They're actually relaxing when you don't have to worry about tests and homework.
@@mr.nobody2485 maybe because we're low in conscientiousness
Being super stoned made the lectures more intersting for me...
Every time I watch a JBP vid, I think it's the most mind-blowing thing I've seen.
Until the next one comes along.
THIS
The dialogue on Cain and Able is so relevant to the May / June 2020 riots in the US
We’ve got a whole class in this country who would rather burn the world from their bitterness than to look inward and see how they’ve done something wrong or allowed themselves to believe something which they know to be wrong.
That was very well thought out and well communicated.... classic signs of a nazi!
Well, I'd posit that JP would say it is precisely because of the archetypical nature of the Cain and Abel story that when learned can, in some form and fashion, reveal to you the human nature at work in our every day lives and can be universally applied to many dichotomies thorughout history, which makes it such a metaphysical/religious experience in that any one of us are able to step outside the present effects of objective reality, enabling us to see and reduce the effects of chaos - primarily fear and confusion - freeing our will to then dominate it by challenging the best of our potential whatever that may be
These adult children were taught to hate the West
@@zissler1 You got me to audibly laugh with that one, very well done!
While I don’t disagree that these actions have had huge similarities to the story of Cain and Abel, I don’t know if we can precisely define what the root of it is. It definitely could be a resistance to look at themselves, but I think there may be much more to it that needs to be analyzed
Shout out to the 10% of women watching JBP videos ♥️
Another one here :)
I think that more women could benifit from watching this (the ones living in western societies at least), because of the shifts in rights (and thus the often ignored responsibilities) I think many young women are lost in a situation where they are now expected to play the same roles, more or less, as young men always used to, in a time where most young men hardly know how to do that successfully.
Queens :))))) But I realised this about men and women, imaturity is promoted in all media, made up in some spiritual bs, the difference is no one dares to judge women's choices and everyone puts labels on men so we log off. I think it's sad Jordan Peterson's lectures aren't more appealing to more women, I think it would do good for the entire society. But then again I don't think you can have it both ways.
65 year old woman here, still learning and deeply fascinated by this wise man..
"the 10% of women"

@@Ghryst Is English your second language? That's fine, it's my second too. Keep working on it and I know you'll get better. Ruby's sentence was perfectly fine
Jordan P. (aka internet-dad) - thank you so much. Just thank you. As a 30 year old recovering alcoholic who just started a business - when you laid out how men need to find their responsibility or they're Peter Pan - nothing has ever clicked stronger for me in this time of my life. I had to pause because those feels hit harder than I could've planned for.
Much love and gratitude,
MJ
Hello. I just wanted to say I hope you're well and your business will survive, despite the attempts that are currently being made to ensure it fails.
JP rule:
'if people are impeding your development, you sacrifice your relationship with them.'
You're damn straight! Roughly speaking, bucko!
Easier said than done. Especially if the person impeding you, is family, and is narsasistic, and will stop at nothing to keep you from leaving.
Or you sacrifice your current relationship with them while creating a new one with more limitations in order to keep it from impeding your development.
That why he say "sacrifice" not "trading"
1:00:27
"Without the capability for mayhem, you're a potential victim to mayhem." Amen, brother!
Damn, can't afford to zone out for even 5 seconds when listening to Jordan. I zoned out for 5 seconds and suddenly he's talking about how what he just said ends in an apocalypse. Rofl WTF DID I MISS
The rewind icon is your friend. lol
I slightly annoy myself with thinking that I'm completely lost bc I passively listened for half a sec just to realize I was completely present with what was being said two to seven words later. There's a gray line between that and actually zoning out as I break down or ponder a related scenario, just to come back and be like, "Hitler- what now??"
Rewind is definitely my friend
Try smoking weed and listening to these lectures, you probably won’t learn too much regarding his lectures, but the amount of useful thoughts that will come to mind is staggering!!
Lol, that's so funny, I read your comment when starting watching the video. And it happened to me then at the exact same time, i think, and I was like "wait what, apocalyptic, what did I miss", then I remembered your comment instantly, and then remembered that you wrote smth about apocalypse too.
Man, maybe that's somehow architectured in his lecture. I come to understand that this guy is even more intelligent than I initially thought, so why not. "WTF DID I MISS" exactly, maybe that what his point, YOU CAN'T! It's gonna lead to apocalyptic events! Around 39:00 - 40:00 , right? Peterson: "Sometimes things will come up and disrupt it".... and bam "apocalypse"
That is such a bummer!
@@aaandy44 It's like he is establishing such a ordered playground for your thoughts, with swings etc., so that the THC doesn't flow too chaoticly in your brain.
i actually had that when watching part #7 :) I was like, don't fight it, watch it again later.
Give this man a Nobel Prize
thanks for educating me for free. Greatest deed of love.
A "Roughly speaking" Before 0:27. A damn record Peterson. A Damn record!
Finally there is someone that tells us we could be useful instead of being the big evil opressor. That's indeed very likely the reason why so many men watch these videos. I've watched all of the maps of meaning videos up to this one in a really short time, even though I'm already in university studying physical chemistry. Peterson claims he doesn't know why there are so many men watching his videos, but he comes to exactly the right reason in the end. Of course we love hearing this, because we want the truth. Even when the truth is too tough to bear, we still crave it, because dealing with your problems when they can be dealt with beats the hell out of dealing with them when they spiral out of control.
The radical "progressive" left does not crave for the truth in anything..
maybe that's why he's called internet dad
Turns out many people are pathologicaly interested in your class :O
The last 17 minutes are truth on a rampage.
i agree
Mustve missed the first two hours? Just messing with you I know what you meant and I agree

Jordan B Peterson is translating Carl Jung's work and is interrupting it well enough that anyone can understand it. Mix this in with his own research and you get what you see right here, a break down of human thought and how humans perceive the world through their limitations.
Check out The Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell, similar deal, Carl Jung in a language us mere mortals can comprehend.
Well thought out explanation. He's standing on the shoulders of the giants before him (Nietzsche, Jung, etc) and fundamentally understands their ideas so well, he can translate them so that almost anyone with half a brain can understand their fundamental meanings down to the core. It's no bloody joke eh?
@@kmdlopper congrats I read your comment in jbp voice haha
I sincerely hope his students realize their unimaginable good fortune to be in the same room with him. I've probably watched a hundred hours of lectures at this point. My life has been changed. Every lecture gives me something useful. I'm beyond grateful.
This woman truly loves JP's lectures!

Is that why I got an erection? Now I get it.

Thank God for intelligent Canadians.
There's more than one? (Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Snap!)
Flint Westwood check out “This is where it ends” by the Barenaked ladies. Great Canadian band!! I feel that they have an amazing play on words, much like when Peterson says things like “matter” and “what matters”. Check it out and listen and let me know what you think!!
How can he expect me to clean up my room, im busy bingewatching his lectures
I play on a tablet while cleaning or building/painting models.
I know exactly what you mean.
Same!!!
A full 4 years later, I am pathologically interested in this class.
Absolutely superb lecture. Jordan's ability to clearly articulate these story's is a joy to listen to.
19:30 “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
- Yoda
Fear keeps us alive.
I believe Yoda got it wrong though (damn that's an odd thing to say).
In my understanding the correct order is: Fear juxtaposes suffering, that is proceeded by anger, which subsequently results in hate.
Isn't it so?
Going through this exact thing right now. Happy to learn about naivety when I’m 30, not 40. Thank you Mr Peterson.
This is the stuff that makes me hype for The Bible Series :3
the only difference between the stories in the bible/religious books and every other story is that religious stories require you to believe without proof.
+ericsbuds Are you sure about that? If you can enjoy ancient Greek myths without actually believing in their gods, surely you can do the same with stories from the Bible.
There is no extra requirement to believe associated with that specific set of stories, as far as I know.
perhaps. I suppose it comes down to being disappointed in mankind for still believing the current religions and the dead religions are less infuriating to me!
ericsbuds watch your resentment.
I was on a the same road for a few years, and I don't think I should stay on it. I too can not believe in the Bible the same way I think a lot of people to believe in it (as you said "without proof") but what the hell do I know about the belief of other people. I clearly didn't know about the structure of my belief until Dr Peterson helped me out with his lectures.
I guess I have to find a way to breath new spirit into the ruins of my belief structure. And not to be infuriated by the it.
Every lecture is better than the previous one!
52:46 "If you listen to a great piece of music. What happens? The hair on the back of your neck stands up. Why? Because you're a prey animal and you just puffed up to look bigger."
😂😂😂
Thank you for taking on the responsibility of educating us!
I'm just here for Dr. Peterson's hand gestures.
Shout out all his youtube subscribers at 10:00
pathologicly interested aww yea
R T Ptz
He called us out before we even watched the lecture, even his meta analysis is spot on.
This lecture explains.....everything.
JP was in the zone for this lecture! It's strange, I regard JP so highly, I surprise my own self. Never before have I come across somebody I admire so much. Words really can't describe how awesome I feel this great hero is. It's nothing unhealthy, I don't think, but sometimes I wonder... is this what pathology feels like?
JP is just a man. Genius perhaps and very heroic, but still a man with all the potential for moral failure as the rest of humanity. He is brilliant at articulating the drama that envelopes us. I believe JP wants you to be your *own* hero.
We get college credit for watching these, right?
Bullshit_Three_Ring_Circus That's the best type of credit.
Lol I wish
No but you get a free, quality education.
I've taken plenty of college courses that had nothing to offer in comparison to his youtube videos not to mention his books.
No, Life Credits.
You know his words are deep when you tear up a little when he talks about how despite his foolishness, Homer Simpson is honorable soul.

this is when you have to ask yourself - because his videos keep coming - is it really for us? or is it for him?
Notes:
1. Exposure therapy to face your fears, malevolence. It's counter-intuitive but that's how you grow.
2. As a therapist, don't take your patient's problem home: Therapists a) solve your problem b) turn you into a problem solver
3. Jungian idea: If you're miserable and unhappy, find what's valuable and let it go (e.g relationships). A sacrifice. Sacrifice your present for your future. If people are impeding your development, you sacrifice your relationship with them
4. The less you know about a topic, the more you overestimate the quality of your knowledge
5. Ambiguity and open-to-interpretationness of Cain and Abel story.
6. Sometimes there's arbitrariness to sacrifice. It may not pay off. I might pay someone else off like crazy
7. Geni index: relative poverty
8. Why justice system was setup
9.
do you have similar notes for the other lectures ?
Number 9. Number 9. Number 9. Number 9. Number 9. Number 9. Number 9. Number 9. Number 9.
I'm going to miss watching your videos Dr. Peterson. You have been a role model like no other. Kind of like a father. I will definitely tune into any future Podcasts and your Bible Series. I will get around to reading your Maps of Meaning also. But your lectures have opened my eyes to see the world in ways I have never imagined. Thank you sir. Also, I've begun to say "Ay" like a real Canadian. I dropped an "Ay" in my speech once and people gave me a funny look. lol! Canada rocks! Thanks to you!
I'm 19 and had overcome some mental problems, like depression, anxiety that seem to occur by problems in the structure of my family. I'm the type that deal with problems with rationalization, so I become obsessed with every type of knowledge about this themes, and watch this lectures is such a ilumination of my journing. The absence of father figure, mother fiure and the load and chaos in my life. It helped me to understand my position and gave me more control to what to do now on. Thank you a lot. I wish you the best, this man deserve.
hope you are better now :) All the best in your endeavours.

We need more Dr.Petersons in the world
1 is pretty good and enough. we just all need to incorporate him as a sub-personality in us. It's something like that
Last ten minutes of this is superb. JBP in his prime.
Was on the edge of my chair during the last 20 minutes. Feel like I've been living under a bloody rock
Do not skip the Q&A. Last 5 minuets are pure gold.
*Responsibility: that’s what gives life meaning. Otherwise, you’re useless, easily hurt, easily killed. Why should you have any self-respect?
A man has to decide that he’s going to do something.*
Seriously, have you ever thought about being a pastor/priest as a retirement kind of plan?
I'm an Atheist; I just can't take the magic-man thing seriously, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good metaphor/story (from any culture).
Explanations like yours could be very healthy for the Christian faith.
You see it! You now know his mission.
If he was a priest I wouldn't trust what he's saying.
Max Bants
I agree. I'm an atheist but my sundays are spent at the church of Jordan Peterson.
Max Bants I don't think Christians would like it when priests gave psychoanalytical and depth-psychological explanations about their biblical stories. They may find it reductionistic and see it as an attempt to demystify their faith.
Well delay that's why western religion is dying. It could use an infusion of liberal thought to better reflect our current understanding of the world. Dr. Peterson explains the stories the way they need to be explained to an intellectual crowd. The church is too invested in the old dogmatic ways that it doesn't make sense unless you're absolutely brainwashed.
There's this saying I learned growing up in Brazil "O trabalho dignifica o homem" means "Work dignifies men"
Mr Peterson I hope you know how much we all appreciate you sharing these amazing lectures here with us. Thanks, you're awesome!
This man is brilliant!!!!
'even the bloody right-wingers want a safe place, right?'....he's beyond the political spectrum in my book
19:22 "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering" - Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back
my favorite thing about these videos is that despite giving me more understanding of myself and the world that I inhabit; is that it doesn't make a single thing about my life easier. it's only put new problems in front of me and gave me the power to face them voluntarily instead of repress them and become a victim of the obstacle that these problems innevatibly present. Thank you much dr.Peterson. you've certainly, at the very least, given me a new, and certainly more proper map of meaning
I think that's more than enough.
2:07:15 you have to have serious balls to say that on a modern university campus. kudos to him
This lecture reminds me of a cartoon we had on the company bulletin board, many, many long years ago, when I was an active duty Marine: There's a little fat guy, festooned with ammunition belts and hand grenades, with a rifle, with a bayonet attached to it. The caption read: "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for _I_ am the meanest mother in the valley."

When Dr. Peterson came on the scene his Christianity was ambiguous, and I was left in many conversations to argue that he was "really" a Christian. It's now clear that he's a Christian like any other, except he can articulate it better than anyone else in modern times. Christians look at the Bible and say "that tells us about human nature on a level we still can't fully comprehend", so it follows that this knowledge had to have come from revelation, therefore, God. Dr. Peterson is going to sort all this out for us though, and to that, I say "Thank GOD!"
Today i finally realized that the highest possible aim i'm capable of manage right now is to take care of my personal appearence. That tought made me so sad i actually cried a little and i'm not sure why. Maybe is because It shows how little miserable piece of work i am. Reality Is harsh sometimes but a little step in the right direction is better than live thinking i'm already perfect and the world doesn't deserve me
Well done and keep it up! May you continue on.
I hid behind the authority of the "great father" for 25 years and pursued religious work in my early adult life as a result. Now at 33, I've been dealing with moderate depression and agoraphobia after a devastating split away from my belief system. I didn't realize how many of the behaviors listed in this video I've been taking on in the past two years where I've barely gotten off my couch. This video was very rousing. I need help but as a man at my age, it feels like no one is particularly concerned with helping me walk thru these fears, and to do it alone is a daunting task I haven't been strong enough or motivated enough to tackle alone.
you can do it! Get some professional help to support you. You are still young. You've just done a lot of living already. Best of luck to you!
Download these videos and treasure it somewhere before the technology collapses and destroys itself. His books does the job, but his passion and energy in these videos shouldn’t be ever lost.
Pathologically obsessed with this class and with Jordan Peterson.
I can listen to this man 24/7 - and that's that!
"Which is a good thing given he is pretty ornery." - What a great one. I love it. Good work Mr. Peterson.
I was wondering what was ticking in my car. Turned out it was a dragon of chaos manifesting itself.
Jordan B Peterson please never give up man. No matter what happens You will always have our support. Financial and spiritual. You are our "tool" to fight the chaos.
He's a man who's overcome challenges all his life. I think he's going to deal with the Benzo addiction.
That last 15 minute: "Do you guys...have any questions?"
translation: "Can one of you guys flap your mouth so I can drop some heavy-ass truth bomb on you guys?"
Not just any heavy-ass truth bomb, but an actual MOAB of practical implementable truth.
Shut up, and clean your BOOM!
The whole point of his philosophy is that one day someone WILL ask a question that causes him to re-evaluate everything.. and that .. roughly speaking they SHOULD.. in fact the whole purpose of existence is to do so in some way... more or less.
Roburii Jeez you seem to have a hard-on for making youtube comments with your derivative drivel. Makes me wonder if you actually understood anything what JBP said. Delete your shit so people who have actually something to say can chime in.
What a try hard! maybe focus ur efforts on meaningful tryhardings in your actual real life (that will actually take you somewhere, little kid).
I wonder if these vids are edited, because each one I watch raises at least 2 or 3 (clarifying) questions for me that I would’ve at least tried to raise.
Then I remember how dull and unresponsive college students can be. On of the only bad thing about these lectures is how the room may as well be empty most of the time.
Maybe I’m the dumb one and my question were answered in the 101 version of this class.
These lectures can save lives
So interesting to read comments. He grabs people’s attention like TV shows WISH they could.
I first noticed JBP from a TV interview when I was in my ‘60s. He RESONATES with people - he has a vibration in his being that touches you in a place you did not know you had. Once you find that place, you want to feed it, grow into it.
I trust him - if he says “that’s a great book” (like Orwell’s ‘Road to Wigan Pier’), I do - and am always the better for it.
His Bible Series has given me an understanding I never got from religion or sermon. When he says “I live as if God exists”, it is a more powerful message, to me, than any sermon.
His description of the horrors of totalitarianism and his courage to speak in a gender-mad, post modern, ‘feelings over facts’, world where whites are supposed atone for sins they did not commit because of their immutable skin color both comfort and embolden me.
Like Thomas Sowell, who I first saw as a teen, he speaks with a surety that comes from data and self-actualization.
He has blessed the lives of millions and young people listen to him (as they do Sowell) which gives me hope.
I 🙏 for his health and safety daily.
you take your Honda in for service
mechanic asks what's wrong with the car
you tell the mechanic there's a Tiamat living in the transmission
mechanic doesn't know what the hell you're talking about
what do you do?
Jordan B Peterson he does smiley faces!! Wow, what a great man.
hi, i am stupid and not a native speaker. care to explain?
You have to slay the serpent of chaos and sort your car out so that you can rescue your dead father from the underworld and ascend the dominance hierarchy, roughly speaking.
Simple. First you have to find out if your mechanic is also capable of _breaking_ your car -- then you know he has his shadow integrated and can be of service. Then ask him how his dad's doing. Still alive? You might want to go somewhere else. Then you have to ascertain his position in society -- is he clinging to the bones of a dead culture? You might ask him if he's looking forward to learning how to work on flying cars. If he's excited about it, he's your guy. If not -- well, he might be a pretty good mechanic, but don't expect his shop to stay open for long.
If he fixes your car, thank him for creating irrelevance, pay him, and leave. Simple.
Tiamat is from a story, it's basically an undefined problem/monster without a proper analysis and solution
Can confirm this man has changed my life.
One of his best talks for sure.
Thank you! The whole lecture was full of nuggets for me, but the few minutes (at 1 hour mark) where so especially helpful. "Sometimes you suffer because you won’t let go of the thing that is biting you." and "If people are impeding your development, you sacrifice your relationship with them... it's a very, very rough rule." Yes, but not abiding by this rule makes for a rough life. It took me over 15 years to finally understand this from experiences with members of my family of origin who deeply (and one for sure malevolently) betrayed me - and you say it so clearly! I finally feel that the trauma is no longer controling me - which is greatly due to the clarity I am finding from your lectures. Thank you again!
I'm very much pathologically interested in your class. listening to you is my compulsive interest.
I loved the last 7 minutes of this lecture ... roughly speaking
at 38 min there is discussion of not solving peoples problems at the cost of stealing their ability to solve problems "that's theft". I found this extremely profound. I must admit that if I had not heard you discuss this issue the way you did, I might not have ever understood this principle. From the scale of the individual, all the way up to the state, I live in a culture that robs people and their institutions the ability to solve problems. I do this in some relationships, and banks are too big to fail. Thank you.
Definitely one of the more important lectures in terms of bravery and the reasonings for it. Really gives a good idea of how to address trauma.
I've been waiting this *salivating*
Fantastic.
Just amazing. I'm speechless.
Extremely sad I only have one video left to watch of this series...... Thank you JP. This series helped me profoundly as I reached 30 depressed feeling I haven't achieved anything greater value than "others" expected of me. And there I was, seeking a light off of my chaos and having eventually found you. I completed both your tests and I was quickly recovering, orienting myself and toughening myself up with new and more meaningful sets of responsibilities. THANK YOU.
When I have apathy, I watch the translations of your videos into Russian as a mantra, and after that, a fire lights up in my eyes. Thank you very much!

*Identifies himself as being pathologically interested in this class*
I think I still have some sorting out to do.... roughly speaking
Guys remember if you are watching these videos while doing absolutely nothing else, then you should take notes and try to put what he said in your own words so you can retain more of it.
I don’t remember how I got here but man I’m I glad this man exists.. would love to meet him one day.
After spending over 40 years in various churches, I have never had the Genesis stories put in this light before. Now, they make so much more sense.
The sword that heals is the sword that never leaves the sheath-
The ultimate martial arts master is the one who never has to fight anymore-
Thank you so much for your words.
So much wisdom in a single video! Unbelievable.Thank you Dr. Peterson
You know something is motivational when you listen to it while working out instead of workout music.
