Lecture: Biblical Series I: Introduction to the Idea of God

Lecture I in my Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories series from May 16th at Isabel Bader Theatre in Toronto. In this lecture, I describe what I consider to be the idea of God, which is at least partly the notion of sovereignty and power, divorced from any concrete sovereign or particular, individual person of power. I also suggest that God, as Father, is something akin to the spirit or pattern inherent in the human hierarchy of authority, which is based in turn on the dominance hierarchies characterizing animals.
Q & A Starts: 1:57:25

Me 5 years ago: religion is for sheep, it's just the opiate of the masses
Me now: Finally, a two and a half hour lecture on God
Sam Sprague same though
Sam Sprague . 1/12
I hold those two positions at the same time and I can't see the problem,the masses are still druging themselves the same as aways,and I could aways appreciate God as a fictional character so I don't see the issue
Religion is still mainly for sheep, it's a tool preventing them from killing each other..
Tony Mango . I dont know about that. I wonder if what you get out of the Bible reflects who you are. To expand on that; sheep will read "how to be better sheep" because they are drawn towards those passages or interpret the text for application to their lives, while "shepards" or "sheepdogs" will be drawn towards other passages or interpret the text to apply to their lives in that way. Really starting to believe the Bible is a mirror for the "inner self".
(edit- *or wolves)
shoutout to everybody who's trying to be a better person. Peace & cheers everyone
:)
A thousand "thumbs up" man
seeking spiritual betterment? - KNOW THIS - people are like ferrets.
Nimaste
You too, Mike.
Is it just me who’s blown away by the fact that this is just for free for us to access?
It's tremendous. It's also a good balance since his book maps of meaning is expensive! But still worth every penny :P
Because they want you to believe that God is just an idea.
I pay for my access
@@OrthobroLocal1 it technically is since other cultures have multiple gods, assuming yours is the right religion is the greatest sin of the religious
@@scottwill6498 that’s called relativism bud. The is only one Truth. That’s the nature of truth. It’s divisive and exclusive. Not relative.
This man saved me from a very dark form of nihilism. I cannot express the psychological transformation I've made since discovering him about 3 years ago. This lecture series is the consolation of my life, and it will be the consolation in my death.
You spoke the words of my mind without me opening my mouth! 👏 My life transformed from this man in 2018 with these lectures. Priceless knowledge given as a free gift for the better of us all
Life got no purpose
He will be 1000x more famous in 100 years than he is now
Agreed on this. Even the devil knows the Lords prayer. But the believer knows it and says it with joy and anticipation.
Yes
I really don't understand all the hate this man gets. He literally takes you on a journey through his logical thought process.
Well, some times the world don't want logic! We have seen that perhaps mostly with religion but also with the lefts political ideas such as anti racism which is like a religion today since it's pure ideology and you cannot question the underlaying truths at all.
People want uncomplicated things to believe and they will follow the crowd because it's too complicated and scary to stand alone
@@jacobjorgenson9285 So true. Although we as humans tend to over complicate everything since we always need to find a way to discriminate against others. If we didn't actually do that life would be a pretty simple and uncomplicated. "Life is a struggle and everyone is living that struggle, be good, humble and respectful to other humans." There, anyone who disputes that is trying to over complicate things be it right-ist or leftist.
@@hmudara same story! The attempt now to wash the town squares of statues is heading down the George Orwell way of controlling the past, it's so left wing it's almost rightwing. They are literally circling the back way in the political spectrum
Simple! The thing politicians, the media fear most is that people getting stronger.
That's exactly the thing Prf Peterson has been fighting for.
Rather than listen to the dialogue, ideology deafens those who cannot or wilfully choose to follow .....that they do not understand, they follow a unreasonable and unrealistic shadowy realism of marxist dogma.
Someday this man will be remembered as one of our great philosophers of our time
@@lynnwalker9716 no reason to believe any gods exist, let alone yours. JP will be just fine.
I think today
@@joecoolioness6399 Impressive how you wrote such an unrelated statement. hahah fool
Of our time? You mean if all times ❤️
You mean, he's not already?
I was in despair, in the depths of alcoholism, watching my accomplishments, financial situation, and marriage fall apart. I heard JBP's podcast episode titled "Toxic Masculinity" where he discusses his friend's suicide. I had already been well past the point of plotting out a suicide plan and that lecture pulled me from the brink. I'm nearly 500 days sober and have a decent job. I've been volunteering for service in Alcoholics Anonymous and have begun going to church recently in an attempt to improve my spiritual condition and societal bonds further. On top of that I've lost 70 pounds since I got sober. I've never been a patient of Dr. Peterson, but he's done more for my mental health than any psychologist I've ever seen formally. If I could see him today, I'd thank him for talking me off the ledge, even though he never knew he was doing it.
Edit: I never expected to get 1000 likes on a 5 year old video, thank you all so much for the outpouring of support. I’ll surely see some of you as I trudge the road of happy destiny. May God bless you and keep you until then.
That’s awesome you’re doing great man!
Are you sure it wasn’t you deciding on a new course.? Just a thought. Nothing taken away from Jordan. I have to ask, are you sure your alcoholic? How?
That’s awesome brother 👊
So happy for you. Your existence on this earth makes the world go round. We need you. We need each other. Hugs and many blessings to you.
So happy for you, please remember there are sinners in the church, all Christians are sinners , all kind of sin exist in church, only Jesus is our Savior , Jesus heal broken heart, Jesus give hope, focus on Jesus Christ, not sinners in the church, otherwise you will be disappoint soon
Leaving a comment so my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandkids can know we watched this together across time.
Thats a beautiful tought 😂
forget your great20x grandkids, i dont think your kids would even know or recognize you with that profile and username 😂
That's beautiful
Hey future fellas, right from year 2024, so basically we got to the moon a couple of times, still no cure to cancer, HIV, and some other diseases
By the way there was this virus called corona that made all of us stay in quarantine.
We still have wars on the earth, and also people still die because of hunger and bad living conditions.
Meh, life goes on. Hope you guys made it better.

I'm 15 years old and your videos are changing my life! I doubt that there's anyone going to read this, but, who knows...
I've been born in a Christian family (my father is a Pastor) and I've been struggling hard for the past two and a half years with the apparent contradictions between the objective reality and the way Christianity has been taught to me.
I was taught to look at reality through the lenses of Christianity. The problem with that was that, by the time I was 13, I had noticed so many inconsistencies and lack of sophistication in the teachings of Christianity that I couldn't handle it anymore and had to admit to myself that it was necessary for me to figure out another way of interpreting the world and/or Christianity.
Since my father is a pastor, I thought that he could answer my questions and explain to me exactly what certain teachings meant. But turns out that he could barely scratch the surface of the problems I was facing with understanding Christianity.
Jordan B. Peterson's videos have helped me immensely to unpack the mysteries of Christianity and to understand what does it actually mean to have a meaningful life.
I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't for your lectures, I'd be going down the path of becoming nihilistic.
I feel like I'm far from finishing this journey, especially because in your lectures you talk about some quite complicated topics, but you've helped me a lot to find meaning again in life and in religion.
Thank you very much, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson!
I went through the same thing as a kid and young adult. It took me till I was 35 years old (I'm 39 now) till I finally was able to stop viewing the world through the warped lens of evangelical Christianity. The contradictions were mentally crippling for me most of my life. I read a book called "Questioning Paul" by Craig Winn. This book changed my life and gave me sooo much understanding and peace. I highly recommend that you read this book. You can read it free online at questioningpaul.com ... I don't expect you to change your entire belief system or trust me (random internet person lol ) ... I'm just saying this book is worth your time. Form your own opinions :)
^___^
Ravi Zacharias. I suggest you look into this name.
Key kid, you are very, very articulated for a 15 yo. On pair with the average adult, which is more than in most, because any pyramid has more people at the bottle, so the average is higher than most people.
Keep you search for knowledge going, with the pro activity you already have and the openness to new things that you have at this age. At 30 you will surely be on the top 1% of society's intellectuals and god only knows how much difference you will be able to make.
Greetings from Brazil!
@@advgabrielvalerio Thank you very much for saying that! A propósito, sou brasileiro também 😁
i feel like he doesnt even plan out his lectures, he just gets on stage and thinks out loud. its amazing
I completely agree. He is most definitely the best word smith I have ever heard. =)
He obviously did plan it out as he has slides to present his points
@@LightworkingWanderer Try some
Terence McKenna
The way lectures SHOULD be! I could hear him discuss any subject.
@@tinanikkillz8570 he has slides, but definitely not reading a script.
JB saved me from hanging myself. April 2020, I'd lost everything & listening to him and reading "Man's Search For Meaning" saved me. He's an amazing soul & I'm gobbling up the knowledge I can - I hope to meet him one day, even if it will be on the ethereal..
Glad you're still here.
Wish you the best
I'm happy you're still here. If you need anyone to talk to, I'm here
@@austinjohnson9706 thank you bro, really thank you..
@@geese.with.knives anytime☺️
It's amazing how Peterson made me pick up the Bible at the age of 23 to read it intentionally with focus where I have been avoiding it all my life with constant effort from parents to read it.💯💯
He talks about it in new ways. It inspires me too.
good read just dont join a religion to hard to tell if there scams these days!!! i believe in a god but i dont follow any religion. good short stories.
I agree! I just said this to my dad that he's related it to today and made things make more sense which is something I haven't been able to understand
@@incredible5587 Your advice is worthless and not wanted here.
I appreciate the fact that you may be learning and are on your journey, but without roots your opinion is nothing. It's the proverbial throwing poop at a wall and hoping something sticks.
I would pass this over but your statement is so antithetical to the subject matter and the fact you aren't embarrassed to say what you have said shows you did not watch the lecture or you are not able to comprehend what was said.
It pays to listen. You don't have anything worth hearing on this subject, at least not yet.
I wish you well and I hope you can find some solid guidance on this journey or else it's going to be a bumpy ride.
@@matthewklahn3204 you insult me but wish me well, thats a the true devil!!!!
What I love about his lectures also is that I myself am not a graduate of any kind im a Pepsi delivery driver with youtube premium so I can listen to his lectures without the screen having to be on. I am not a scholar or college intellectual but its easy and fascinating to understand his lectures.
And Albert Einstein might very well tell you. Your lack of 'formal' education is an advantage.
Amen brother
Your humility is admirable but you have the same capacity to understand this as anyone else. Good for you
Trust me I’ve learned far more from JP than anything in my entire 4 years of college... all for a $5/month UA-cam subscription
Work is work life is life .... sometimes the freedom of being self educated is being able to more easily reject what our instincts know is wrong .... freedom of the mind is what might eventually save humankind .... Pepsi on and welcome to the education most of us can afford
It's terrifying to me that we almost lost this man. He is deeply needed.
really? what happened?
@@michaelxaviercanonizado8010 His daughter Mikhaila Peterson has some videos about it on her own channel, as well as an interview with Dr. Peterson talking about it
Yeah
Yes, absolutely.
@@michaelxaviercanonizado8010 They're right. His wife's prognosis was she would not survive. It's miraculous both she and he survived.
Jordan Peterson, I grew up without a father, my mother married 5 times and was very unstable. I battled with drug and alcohol abuse, dropped out of school, turned to crime and was a very narcissistic, destructive individual. Sadly, some of this happened while i became a father at 24 years old to a boy, and i ruined my relationship with his mother and essentially my relationship with my son because of the self-destructive nature i nurtured.
Now I'm 41 years old, that boy is 17 and I now have a 5 year old son and 4 year old daughter with another baby due in May 2019. I still struggle with fear of failure and commitment, feelings of inadequacy, but you have helped me to understand that I am not alone and I can be the father I never had.
I want you to know that your words and your ideas have helped me become the father I need to be to break the chain of poverty, addiction and abuse that plagues my family tree so that my children can have a better life than I had. You have helped me find meaning in my life; to improve myself so that those that come after can have a better chance.
Your wisdom combined with that found in the Bible have put me on the path that i was meant to be on. I believe God has sent you as a messenger to guide the men of the world back to Him. You aren't perfect, you are Jordan Peterson, and you are more of a father to me than any other mortal man has ever been.
My family are forever grateful for you. Without meeting you, we love you. You have helped change the future of my family history.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. I suffered a similar fate, and forgiveness is difficult, it's hard to believe that they would treat a child like that as you raise our own child and watch them grow and all the wonderful potential they possess, with love and guidance the things they can accomplish. I have no way of knowing, but i feel I am a better father because of my childhood.
May God richly bless you and your family. I pray that any struggle you face will be absolved by the Lord.
Human Being my story is so similar that I won’t bother to state the differences.
This man has hit me like a wonderful train
Good luck on your courageous journey to the place between chaos and order.
Ted Nottingham
Watch his stuff, it will touch your soul.
This lecture series changed me and my life. I would listen while driving and it changed my faith. I used to be agnostic/atheistic but Jordan's take on the significance of the Bible and Christianity brought me back into the light after ten years astray.
Thank you, Jordan! I look forward to your lectures on Exodus, and am glad you are well!
its crazy, amazing, and kind of sad to listen to a man who is struggling with the belief so openly and honestly and cant quite bring himself to the cross. He's so close. closer than many who already believe.
Awesome to hear that, God has funny ways to get our attention

He shrinks a life time of thinking and knowledge into a 2 and half hours show.
We are so lucky to have the internet....
Part 1
The invention of things like the radio, automobiles, television, airplanes, the worldwide web and so on cries out for the good in people. We all have the choice to choose between fear and love constantly. That for me is free will, I am thankful for the works of the likes of Jordan Peterson. Like you said so much shrunk in so little time its beautiful. Makes me think of how much wisdom is contained in the biblical books and how the people who wrote it struggled with shrinking it and still holding the wisdom within the texts. :)
smootskin im surprised youtube didnt take this down yet
And we are so lucky to have Jordan Peterson. I think of all of the "soft" sciences, psychology has the most merit and this man is not only a pillar to the scientific community but he had and has the fortitude to seek that which most of us are afraid to pursue. He made the journey to, not a complete, but a better understanding of things and in a way has returned (or returns regularly as anyone who follows him knows that this man is an obsessive ((good for us)) thinker) not to suggest he knows more than you, but to explain his own thinking and thus inspire us to do what he has been doing for decades. That is to truly use the mental capacities we are endowed with to deeply and intimately contemplate and adjust our behaviors accordingly to the ideas, ideals and behaviors with which we identify ourselves.
Wow, a grateful spirit.🤙
I'm literally *setting the mood* in my home to enjoy this talk in the most optimal conditions.

Never thought that, as a non believer, I could be so excited for a lecture on God
And your name is quite ironic.
In western nations it's virtually impossible to find western names that aren't related to biblical figures.
+NeonGen2000
Not really. Lots of names in Western europe and the US are of germanic origin.
Ehh, what? All (as far as I know) of Scandinavian and Germanic names are not related to biblical figures at all.
@aborysa Right, but in scandinavia there are a lot of names from biblical figures as well. It's a good mix
I was on a really selfdestructive streak until I found Jordan Petersons channel and his free lectures online.

You're an amazing human-being!
I’m a Christian but I found this lecture series by Dr. Peterson to be absolutely fascinating. I’m glad abstract thinkers can exist and share their ideas and we can access this type of content on UA-cam. I’m not here to debate anyone, just showing my appreciation.
Thank you James
While watching Dr.Peterson he showed how ignorant I was the way I looked at Christianity.Before I thought it as just worshiping some guy walked on water but now I have whole new way of looking at.It’s about picking up my damn cross and have faith in my heavenly father which is my ancestors and receiver their wisdom with pure joy.It’s not about worshiping it’s literature and philosophy.Which makes you unite with the whole world and understand that there is suffering and we all are in.Thank u Dr.Peterson
I’m not religious but I also do appreciate this lecture very much... I think we can all appreciate Peterson regardless of our religious beliefs
It's really nice when people can get together and learn in peace from one another.
@@holygoof7755 A relationship with the one true God is far more than some literature can offer. God isn’t in the pages of philosophical writers, but continually in the lives of people who truly choose Him. And union isn’t enough. The world cannot offer that love.

Just this
"Everybody acts out a myth, but very few people know what their myth is. And you should know what your myth is because it might be a tragedy and maybe you dont want it to be."
Carl Jung
... this is so incredibly deep and profound. It encourages me to go and look at the very core of my being. But I would probably need to talk it through with someone for a week to even scratch the surface. I imagine just thinking about it would get me nowhere. I did buy Jordan's self authoring suite a while back... I never started it... Maybe I was scared of my dragons at a subconscious level...
End of monologue 😆
Yep. I re-watch each one. This one gave me chills. It makes sense of so much.

The sheer density of it all. To think that he does this for two hours, just out of his head, is nothing short of miraculous. I guess it´d be akin to watching Mozart perform at his age. We must be thankful for the opportunity to learn from this man.
Exactly!
“Ideology is crippled religion.” Brilliant!
This is a quote worth use
And this statement goes in line with what Jesus said on Mark 7: 1-9, “Now the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him. And they saw some of his disciples eat their meal with defiled hands, that is, unwashed ones. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands up to the elbow, clinging to the tradition of the men of former times, and when they come from the market, they do not eat unless they wash themselves. There are many other traditions that they have received and cling to, such as baptisms of cups, pitchers, and copper vessels.) So these Pharisees and scribes asked him: “Why do your disciples not observe the tradition of the men of former times, but they eat their meal with defiled hands?” He said to them: “Isaiah aptly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. It is in vain that they keep worshipping me, for they teach commands of men as doctrines.’ You let go of the commandment of God and cling to the tradition of men.” Further, he said to them: “You skillfully disregard the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.”
mister paradise I would not say that in the least because religion is fundamentally tied to God, the “sacred, etc. while ideology is not necessary connected to that and a lot of ideology has nothing to do with this claims on the sacred, etc. So saying that ideology is just a crippled religion ignores that religion does have ideologies imbedded within it and that some ideologies wants nothing to do with religion.
@@MaisieDaisyUpsadaisy the ideologies that you talk about don't want nothing to do with religion, they want nothing to do with existing religion. It's the same framework, only without firm grounding. You would like everyone in the world to believe that there is an imaginary good and enlightenment in not having a sky daddy. Whoever believes in a sky daddy therefore is lower in enlightenment and therefore not good for society... we all ultimately want what's good for society.... we need to eliminate those who believes in sky daddies... and then since we have no sky daddies, we can all seek the best for society, but says who? And which particular society?
@@GeordiLaForge1974 magic sky daddy that has issues with people masterbating an what position they have sex in etc... Bahahaha haha ffs how many modern scientific descoveries that unintentionally disprove all creation stories an magic sky daddy story's! An show them to be the obvious bullshit that they are, created by early, uneducated humanity
Mr Peterson, thank you for existing, thank you for caring, thank you for searching, thank you for believing , thank you sharing .
You are an angel in our chaotic times. ❤

I’ve never seen someone credit a comment. That’s pretty neat.
Thank you😄😄😄
Why bother?
Thanks very useful.
4yrs ago I tried to end my life... despite surviving I still made plans to try again...by sheer coincidence I saw him appear on Real Time with Bill Maher and I've been pulling myself together ever since...and for the first time in 15 years I opened my Bible... thank you Dr Peterson.
Nick, I’m glad you are here. Please reach out to someone, and if you have no one- you can reach out to me. You matter.
You are Loved brother!
hey man, if you ever feel like that again, reach out to someone, look for help. All the better to you !

Janileigh Cohen, aims are not enough. One must eventually act, or at least think about acting in as real terms as possible.
I'm listening for the second time and this segment (starting around 1:15:00) really captivated me
his mind is exquisite...
We should all be able to Understand where the negative energy towards this man comes from. He is preaching the truth about biblical history. History tells us exactly where the nay sayers come from. May the Lord continue to guide this man to Learn and Speak. Amen.
Literally 2 minutes into Dr Peterson's lectures I realise I need to read so much more.
On his website there is a list of literature he recommends to read
The best part of it is that he doesn't leave you behind either, he just teaches you, that you're lacking, you're always lacking and by that statement, you can always be better.
@@cidlunius1076 He teaches us that we can improve. By saying lacking it implies something negative like a defect in us. Not everyone has time to read a lot but we can improve step by step.

I love that Jordan will follow his more complex proposals and propositions with a tangible example. “I’ll give you an example.” So helpful. I like to think I’m at least above average in intelligence, but I sometimes get lost in his words, only to be bailed out by him rephrasing or distilling his idea down or giving great examples. We are so very fortunate to have this man as a guide and inspiration in this ever-maddening world.
Speak for yourself.
@richardlong8014
This is the first person alive that I feel knows me more than I know myself. Absolute revolutionary genius.
I got myself together after watching this entire biblical series (must say that the very end of the last episode was surprising and so amazing!). I got married, changed my career for good and starting my own business, became closer to my family than ever. I sincerely thank JBP so much for his wisdom and spreading real good in the world!
I’m back to this lecture after not watching it for years. I haven’t forgotten this one at all. I’m glad I can hear it as many times as I want
That's amazing! Plz pray so that I too may 🙏
@@grawitty8741 I don’t pray
@@grawitty8741 in my opinion praying can help i guess cause you're projecting it to the universe (if someone is praying for that's great) but in this context your asking this persone to pray for you🤔 did he even see your message? Anyways that's not my point. First you have to believe in your self cause only you, il say it again cause it might sucks to hear this but it's the truth so only you can change. It starts with the way you think your mind is the most powerful tool that humans possess, it can be used to help you attain success or it can take you to the depths of failure. You must learn to use your mind to its optimal level if you want to live life on a new level. What you think becomes your reality. What i also do in some cases is i visualize myself being were i want to be feeling the feeling of being there and it makes me feel a certain way (positive). Stay focused on what you want cause you can do anything and everything if you put your mind into it my friend it's definitely not going to be easy cause are brain has been programming and reacts automatically from past experiences so fuck the excuse your brain is going to tell you fuck what other people has to say about what you want cause a lot of them will not agree, try to tell you that you can't, are you serious usually they will say these thing because they don't think THEY could do it or what ever. I want to try and help you tell you more but i said the essentials. Hopefully you understand what my options was and i believe in you in your journey keep your head up hight and stay Focus buddy. One day at the time and it will wen it come with time.
@@charleslevesque2906 Yes. Thanks for your comment. I'll try my best. 🙏
His explanation of God, religion, dreams, evolution, etc.. gives a grander view of our existence than I ever could have imagined
I'm a Christian from Taiwan major in social and psychological, very thankful for sharing this lecture about Psychological and God. Here in Chinese culture, people don't no what God is. Our Psychological education never talk about God, so we have no idea about mind and soul, but turning into the wrong place like New Age movement and make cases worse, and the church here in Taiwan also use New Age Psychological to mislead people. Wish God sent more teachers like you to Asia to lead us to the right road to Jesus, could you please make your channel more Chinese verse translation? Thank you so much!🥰
I hope these 4 million people who subscribed will make a good difference in this world for the better.Thank you
Fingerscrossed
Knowledge is the wiser. 👍👍
Godspeed to us All my Friends.
I’m a Christian and I wish more Christians would watch lectures like this. We need more constructive conversations not echo-chambering.
Same here. It's so disheartening to see what our faith has become with all the ways that modern christianity has devolved.
Couldn't agree more with that!
Willing to discuss (realistically) the possibility that God is actually just a centuries-old misrepresentation of a race of higher learned “chaperones” that the tin foil hat folks have been calling “Aliens.” Again, I emphasize the realistically aspect, the topic attracts quite a few loons.
@@TheColonelCommisar the only reason they don’t actually read the Bible is because they know people will turn away
As a Cradle Christian and a Muslim convert, I agree.
Thanks for your uploads Jordan Sir, I'm a 46 year old shipwreck that is slowly but surely repairing itself thanks to you
miles Jackson best wishes. Hope you are doing well.
good on you Miles !
I hear you Miles, good luck mate.
keep it up, my dude!
What you said, Miles reminded me of a saying I have "There are no atheists on a sinking ship"..lol.. instinctively everyone in a danger situation is likely to get down on their knees or speak to God, shows it is part of our being and our instincts, great that you are getting to a good place.
The BRILLIANCE this man has to offer this world is beyond anything I expected to know in my lifetime. His intellect surpasses the understanding of most, his vocabulary IQ can't be charted... yet we can all come here where he's allowed us into his mind & can dissect it for us in a way we can all comprehend.
It's like God gave him a job to do. To explain the Bible in a way no one has - to bring interest back to the most profound book ever written. If you haven't read it, you're in for a treat! It's not what you think. It's written like the greatest story ever told, yet every word written is TRUTH translated from our Creator to our basic, simple-minded language. It's so beautiful! And Jordan is the perfect person for this job.
You WILL be different after knowing the Bible. Those who are uninformed & uneducated yet adamant, who will continue to say they don't believe without ever reading a single word of the one piece of "evidence" we have left, aren't to be heard in the matters of our Creator, for they can never even imagine.
God forgive them, for they know not what they do.
Moments like this are for those of us who desire truth above all else.
I had to literally pause the video because he said something so profound yet said it so succinctly that my mind registered not only the veracity of the argument he presented but the beauty in his choice of words, and it just floored me that someone could speak like this. I've read many things from beautiful wordsmiths, but to hear someone do that with spoken words is surprisingly shocking. I am astounded that this content is available for free, and I feel deeply privileged to be able to partake. I recently discovered Jordan, and have since purchased a couple of his books to show support for the mission he is on, and to further my personal growth.
God bless you man! Peace be with you
Language is beautiful. The English language is astonishingly exceptional among its dialectic counterparts. There's something to admire when an individual's vocabulary is so profound. Also the way one pronounces their words and the choice of literary devices that Dr Jordan Peterson uses is indeed something to appreciate. One does not need rhyme to sound poetic. People who articulate their words in an extraordinary way exhibit a heterogeneity linguistic multiplicity that is truly something to adore.
This is true !
do you remember the phrase of which you spoke of here, by any chance?
Thanks you, Steven. That is very much my experience of him. Like you, I am in constant awe at the rigor and ruthless candor he brings to bear on himself; as you say, we are indeed privileged to be able to witness this process of unfolding. Maybe this is what the internet was actually meant to be!
“People get unbelievably upset when you poke them in the axioms, so to speak.” I love that line....
Which might have been a brilliantly placed little joke, because later on he makes a point about the systems that are turned on within us when our axioms are being questioned, which are the same systems that are turned on when we're preyed on by predators. At that point I immediatley remembered the little joke and therefore his point about people getting really upset about their axioms being criticized.
I'd love to hear Prof Peterson sing a version of Welcome to the Jungle. The lyrics actually feel really profound in light of his teachings. GnR were artists tapped into the Logos.
Metaphor with a raft couldn't be any more correct..
@@omg2mad4u I think everyone should be made to sing that song.
@@aFoxyFox. i think you need to rewatch and pay more attention to peterson.
I studied psychology for 2 years and this guy started to melt my mind in the first 10 minutes.
So you must try to read philosophy, you will be very happy
Check out his other lecture series, they're worth more than gold
@@daniellebryan3496 doing it at the moment and it's worth more than gold for me.
I too have a degree in psychology plus 30 yr Nurse Practitioner. This guy is NUTS! Certifiable!
This man didn't save my life, but he made me understand things i once didn't, and with his knowledge, i saved my own life, and I'll always be grateful for him .
JP, thank you. These lectures have changed my life. I lost my only father figure at the age of sixteen and separated myself from my religious views. For the longest time I could not find reason in the books. My fascination with history had me looking at them from a historical standpoint. I would pull out of them only the historically interesting things. However, having been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder after military service, my life had ground to a halt. Every thing bad that happened to me was so powerful mentally that I began to avoid life altogether whenever I had the chance. A well crafted facade was what kept me as a functioning member of society.
Since I have discovered your lectures on the bible however, my mind has seemingly been rewired. Especially when I listened to your interview with Joe Rogan. The things you say are so profound, and furthermore they make logical sense. It is as if an explanation of a root human experience lost to us through the centuries has reignited a motivation in me that has been missing for so long. Continue your amazing work! More people, especially men like myself, MUST hear these words.
Hey Archi: best of luck to you. I hope you pull yourself entirely together. Depression is a catastrophe.
Archi M: to see the profound, life-long effect the death of a parent can have on a child, see acestoohigh.com/ and take their test. Very short quiz developed by CDC and Permanente.
As Peterson said somewhere else, "26 is the new 21". IOW we are maturing more slowly. So losing a parent at 16 is a major blow. But be sure to consider the other questions, too, to get your score.
You're right, this is important for men. Peterson's psych classes are 80% female, the usual college number. But he says 80% of those attending these lectures was male. He's hitting a nerve.
Plus, it's way easier than trying to read and understand Jung, Nietzsche, and Dostoevsky.
"We haven't even gotten to the first sentence of the biblical story yet"
An hour in... Fascinating.
The entirety of this lecture series is equivalent to taking a 2 credit hour college course from Jordan Peterson, for free. This is such an incredible contribution you’ve made to the community Mr. Peterson, thank you so much for this.
Brandon Cooper agree. Thanks
This is totally captivating and thought provoking. The World would be a better place if everyone took the time to listen to this man, regardless of whether you agree with him or not. I have nothing but admiration.
JP is not a hero we deserve, but a hero we and our western society badly need.
so are you !
Not just Western though
And we need more like him, We need to protect our society and culture on all fronts.
Oh stfu. He became famous of a fucking lie. Civil rights lawyers in Toronto say you cant be jailed for saying the wrong pronoun, Jordan says you can. Jordan thinks he knows more than civil rights lawyers. There hasn't been one charge since his ridiculous claim that made him famous. Sucks there is many SHEEP that don't research. He is the hero that you incels need to rationalize your shitty view of the world
Not only that, this anti intellectual Peterson recently said he thinks global warming is not a threat. He thinks he knows more than civil rights lawyers AND fucking scientists. You Peterson fans aren't fans, you're worshipping an ideologue.

LOL
Me too.
I saw this like 4 years ago as a "anti theist" with some curiosity of how religion may be important to the simple minded. Today, I'm revisiting this lecture as a member of the Orthodox church, lol.
Glad you are on the right path
Congratulations bro!
This helped me renew my faith in Christianity as well
That's funny. I was raised Christian, then went through a "let's see what I truly believe" agnostic phase. Removed myself from any assumption I had. Equally valued all options. Then deduced. Started in Protestantism as a child but when I look at things as neutrally as possible I ended up Orthodox as well hahaha.
@@Eraktab I also was raised as a Christian. At 13-15 I went through my edgy atheist phase until 28 yo aprox. Then I started searching for something more, the flat and tasteless materialism wasn't enough. After a couple of years of stumbling across different philosophies I discovered Christian Orthodoxy and I was blown away by the beauty and deep cosmology. Is like the world is now full of meaning and color.
Cheers, brother.
@issaavedra What a perfect way to describe it. I went from depressed, jobless, and living w/ my parents to a great career, guest lecturing universities at 25, and will own my first revenue property within the year.
Crazy how meaningful life is when... well life matters.
I think Dr. Peterson's appeal is passion. He is one of the few intellectuals that seem actually passionate about what they are speaking about. Most speak with mild amusement at the ignorance of those lesser than themselves and it is not very endearing. Glad Dr. Peterson breaks that mold.
Gazerich he is the epitome of humility.
I'm actually oddly learning the opposite from him. I'm very humble but actually too humble. Im the guy whose so nice he's harmless and uninteresting. Jordan showed me that I have a shadow I need to embrace and everyday I do I feel myself becoming more whole. And more fun to be around. It's incredible how much this man can change you if you're open to seeing your flaws.
NobodysBusiness And you are the epitome of beauty.
I couldn't find a church I liked, so I am making a set time, each Sunday, to hold church, by studying your Biblical Series, at my home, or in nature. I am still at the Introduction, because it's so meaty and fascinating-as I used to call myself an atheist. Thank you, Dr. Peterson. Please don't burn yourself out. We need you.
Terry Bear I suggest taking a look into Catholicism. I think Jordan Peterson draws a lot from Catholicism for a reason-Truth, beauty, goodness. Acceptance of suffering and transcending from it into your fullest, truest, self. All Catholic teachings. I’d say start with St. Thomas Aquinas. Amazing mind on that man (very similar to JP!)
Have a good day, friend. :)
Terry Bear doing the same thing.
Schlomo, that's great! Thank you for letting me know. Wish we could somehow to it together.
Terry Bear yeah. Well, on Sunday's, just know there's at least one other person doing it right along with you. I'm just starting off. Been a fan of his for a while, but only now diving into his biblical series
Wow, that's so cool! Thanks, Schlomo, we'll be enjoying and growing along our path, with Dr. Peterson, as our guide. Smiles.
“When I am lecturing, I am thinking.”
And it shows. What a wonderful thing to see a great intellect THINKING, most of us REACT without thinking.
3mins 10seconds in...that's where he said that...how do I know? I read your comment as he spoke the words. Synchronicity at its finest.
@@quickmick1112 Gives me tingles.Way cool.
When you see him in person, you can see that process. He paces and you can almost hear the wheels turn. It was a full house in the auditorium and so quiet because people were hanging on every word. No canned speech, he does something new every night with a few recycled areas that he is still massaging in his mind. If you listen to the Australia series, for example, you will hear how he adds to ideas on successive nights.
I've listened to his videos multiple times and always get a new "aha" moment. Am thrilled to see he is penetrating the young black community through reaction videos by channels like Flawdzilla. The comments show that is a group hungry for what Jordan offers.
@@divergentsenior I'm in Ireland so have to wait to 2022 in Dublin to see him but my intentions are to be there...I'd love for there to be VIP tickets so I could meet him too but hearing him speak will be enough. Thanks for replying, glad he's had a positive impact on your life too.
@@quickmick1112 There will be a VIP package. Not sure how much actual time you get with him but would still be a thrill.
I talked to people all around us while we were waiting for it to start. A gay couple. An interracial engaged couple. A single guy, there alone. Three 'twentysomething' girls. A couple who had been married for 50 years. Two siblings not yet 18. All ages, genders, sexual identities and races.
The thing they universally expressed was GRATITUDE they had found his words, read his books and watched his videos.
I have been to a lot of events in my life, but just seeing that level of respect from such a disparate group of people for the same person --- a clinical psychologist, no less -- was a mind blower. You will have a great time. So glad he is still with us and seems to be gaining strength as he got back to work. I am seeing him again in January, in Texas USA and taking my niece.
I pray he paces himself a bit this tour. He is a treasure to too many to risk losing him again.
@@divergentsenior I'll be honest I just want to give him a hug and say thank you...10 seconds tops...maybe an autograph to boot lol I hope you get to see him with your niece...the youth of today need him more than we do.
It's amazing now that Swahili language is included in the subtitles, this means a lot to impacting east African community through Dr. Petersons research and never ending knowledge. Asante Daktari 🙏

Fred Cory oh that’s a great comment
Thank you, Anastasia!
Fred Cory well said!! So true!
Very true .
As a music student myself that is bang on!
I used to hate religion. Now I hate and fear what is replacing it.
Robyn Highart oh really? What a completely moronic statement. What is replacing it?
@@malevvvolent Socialist language-policing busy-bodies and burgeious faux-oppressed psychos
Robyn Highart that’s a silly generalization. Are these the people oppressing women? Are they the ones cutting clitorises off little girls? Are they the ones blowing themselves up in front of schools? Are they the ones screaming ”behead those” when their beliefs are critiqued? Are they the ones who, in the 1930s had an open alliance with fascism? Are they the ones who want to put the world under Sharia and take us back to the middle ages?
Get your priorities straight buddy.
@@malevvvolent chill the fuk down. You are too irrational. Its an assumption that all these tragedies are because of religion. So no, not gonna waste time on arguing with you about the consequences of religion. Fuk you, you don't deserve it. Lets drop that part. The only reason to follow religion is because of chance that God exist. And no, you will never have direct proof that your ahteist is right. So stfu when you think about talking about science. But so will not we have proof that God exists. And because of that we never gonna prove something that is not available for your observation, being atheist is not any less or more irrational than being religious. Don't fukin argue now about Gods existence. Never gonna prove shit.
Key Word LMAO
I’m sorry to say, but you strike me as someone who has no idea what they’re talking about.
Atheism doesn’t say there is no God. Atheism says there is no evidence for God. We don’t claim to know anything. We claim not to believe because any evidence put forth has either been debunked or just not been persuasive. How is this irrational again?
And how are the things I mentioned NOT a result of religion? All of them, except for the statement about fascism, are aimed toward muslims and Islam. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Muslim countries are theocratic - they have no separation between church and state. Religion is what makes the law in these countries. The Quaran and the Hadith, both Muslim texts, are what people follow in order to justify the above-stated beheadings, suicide bombings, and genital mitulation of kids. Please explain to me how this is NOT because of religion.
As regards to my statement about fascism, the first alliance made by Adolf Hitler was with the Catholic Church. Even during Nazi times, every soldier carried a belt buckle with the words ”Gott Mits Uns” meaning God with Us. In Hitler’s book Mein Kampf, he clearly states that by killing millions of jews he is doing ”God’s work”. Please tell me how this is unrelated to religion.
I’ll wait, little buddy.
I just found Mr. Peterson. What a brilliant man.
He gave me so much hope that i was not ceazy is finding everything so terrifying and meaningless but at the same time that there was so much in the other side.
I keep comming back to this lectures . They are so priceless. Almost 4 years sober and this lectures and this man has helped me to be a better person. Better mother. Better daughter.
Having been raised in “Christianity” I lost my faith & have now rediscovered it thru Jordan’s logic. It’s fascinating. Thank u.
My fellow alumnus is logical? LOL.
I don’t think you “lost faith”, I think you just learned that faith is not what we thought it was. I’m with you!
Perhaps the Christianity you were raised in had nothing to do with Christianity?
Kevin Phillips Ur right. It was more like a cult. But I now understand the love & grace of God, not terrified of Him. That changes everything. We lived in constant fear of a harsh, cruel God, just waiting for us to break the tiniest rule, then kill us & send us to eternal hell fire. I don’t see God like that now. I believe in His love, grace & goodness & finally learned to love myself.
We are all sinners until we turn to Jesus and accept the grace offered through His sacrifice. It is not about what we can do to reach God, but what He has done to reach us. This is the difference between true Christianity and religions even those that call themselves Christian.
I am a Christian with a strong education in Biblical principles, stories, and the Old and New Testament connections.I am finding this to be an incredible source of apologetics. Very impressive.
Love Jordan. As a Bible believer I have no doubt the stories are true and the prophecies are real. If you seek the Lord, He reveals Himself to you.
I feel like (in my experience) the most interesting discussions on the Bible come from Christian-adjacent speakers, rather than pastors and priests themselves. They come with an interesting perspective that freshens the conversation up a lot.
education and biblical principles make no sense at all as the bible has no facts. Do you mean you have a good memory of what the bible states. Education is teaching of facts and abilities.
It would be a strange apologetic... I'm 2 minutes in and he says the bible is contradictory lol
@@mikekoz6351 What makes you say that?
God how is this free??? When I reach a position of influence in my life then I will surely divert people towards this video, to somehow repay this man for saving my life.
By God, it is free. Jordan is changing the world by educating it. I don't "want" to make any Christ-like references, but I would have to say, he feels like one to me. He is a modern "Christ" consciousness who has completely transcended our society to better help us deal with, and rationally change back into, what it always should have been.
Simply being good to one another.
@@conanmcclanahan1069 What does being good to one another imply exactly? Would it involve world peace for example? I am asking because if world peace is your message then Peterson said himself that we are not actually interested in that, we would get bored and want something to happen.
Aryan Tiwari It's not free. You have to have a good phone or pc to download UA-cam on and be able to watch it. Before that you have to have internet and a Wi-Fi connection. Also you have to have the time.

Well give Srimad Bhagwad Geeta a go! And the Upanishads and the Vedas. Learn Sanskrit. That will come handy. If not yet. These gems of self knowledge and much more, is all there, has always been there, and will be there for ages to come, in the mystical land you were born in :)
I stumbled upon this video when I was at my wit's end, struggling with a complex problem. The presenter's insightful approach and step-by-step guidance provided the breakthrough I desperately needed. Now, I'm not just problem-free but thriving
This is why free speech is so important! Talking about the Bible, Jesus, etc. in public to Muslims leads to an imprisonment and deportation from the city I live in, Dubai, UAE..
This comment deserves more likes and hopefully gets more notice over time
jaysaviod wow...
I don't agree with what they're doing but I understand it to some degree. They're very serious about preserving their core culture and traditions because they're a minority in their own country. 90% of the population is immigrant population. Can you imagine how hard it is to be conservative and protective of your culture in that kind of environment? When you preach to people you're causing a disruption in the already fragile fabric of their society.
I'm an ex Muslim but I don't go around preaching it to people so I'm safe so long as I keep it to myself. People have access to the internet and anyone that wants to be educated and enlightened has the ability to do so with minimum limitations. High speed unlimited internet access is easy to come by here.
Again, I don't agree nor condone this but I understand it.

So? Does that mean you have to force your beliefs down other people's throats?
His lectures are divinely sent and everyone needs his books in their homes. No one person has ever done so much to change me and my life.

After popping up on my feed for no reason, I've been saved. Thank you for giving me a reason to live on and saving my life. Thank you, Dr. Jordan Peterson!
Hmmm… on the contrary:
Sounds to me like this pooped up in your feed for a very specific, very good reason.
Eight million views on a lecture about theology. My God! That's a miracle in itself!
There is no more important subject.
right?!
I was told all my life that there would be an apocalypse and that Jesus would return at that time. I suspect that most of us thought that if there would be an apocalypse it would be nuclear. I’m convinced that we are living it right now (pandemic, nihilistic political hatred, the triumph of atheism) and that Jorden Peterson IS Christ returned.
@@wfeprice Well, he is good but not that good!
people are craving for proper theology in an age of atheism and fundamentalism.
During this period of quarantine, I’m starting this marathon of learning through Jordan B Peterson’s lecture to sharp my mind, and it feels so good to see subtitles are available for a non native English speaker as me, cause following and understanding what Mr. Peterson says during these lectures is sometimes very challenging even for a native speaker I presume.
I'm a native speaker and in grad school to become a Marriage and Family Therapist...and I have a hard time following him. Don't give up...it's a worthwhile endeavor!
I laugh, genuinely.
Seeing your avatar name makes me think of India. And India makes me think of some of the most potent and important 'storytelling' in the world. I mean, a very potent form, though not a Christian form, of what Dr. Peterson is discussing.
Still, I suppose it's easier to get the lesson in a form unfamiliar.
I could be way off the mark, and totally misunderstanding you but...
If not, I'm no different.
I grew up in the West and appreciate our 'stories', but have spent countless hours studying the Baghavad Gita, the Buddhas, and all sorts of beliefs and philosophies.
Makes me think how we are all just one great family. I know it sounds goofy but I think it's true.
For what it's worth, I wish you the best!
Same for me man
Bless uncle iroh
@@kennymonty8206 Yes Bro..and in SANSKRIT there is a verse regarding this too.
"Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" which means The World is One Family.
I went to travel Australia by myself years ago and I spent countless hours out in the fields working while listening to to this series on repeat. I was inspired by his message to take responsibility, and so I spent 3 years saving up money to study, then I spent covid lockdown teaching myself to programme and now I work as a software engineer in a job I love. Thank you JP!
Should've stayed in Australia
That’s fucking awesome dude keep it up 👍
That's brilliant
reminds me of myself brother
Well Done you!
The fact that someone as eloquent and intelligent as this man came to God and gave his life to Jesus after all of this research is profound.
"We haven't even gotten to the first sentence of the biblical stories...." one hour in. This prof is spellbinding and amazing and humble and a gift to those of us who listen...
I had a legit revelation about life within the first 30 minutes of this lecture. This is the best 2 and a half hours I've ever spent
I had a revelation with another of his videos. His material is no joke. No joke. Cheers to clarity.
Mr Anderson lol! That’s awesome! This dude is so smart and just has is way of making you think while you learn!
AT NO COST!!!
I seriously consider him as the second coming.
And I'm an atheist. ;)
The best part is that his lectures also gave me insights into why I feel that way. :)
It is July 6, 2022. This is my first time listening to this lecture. I'm 63 and I'm 8 minutes in and I have the sneaking suspicion that I will have to listen to it at least 5 times to really absorb everything he is saying because frankly, his mind moves so fast and he talks very fast. That's said in admiration, not critically.
Here is your reminder to rewatch it :) greetings from Germany
Reminder no. 2!!
From the UK
I'm here on listen number 5 myself. There's SO much here I've never thought of.
This is only one. One 2.5 hour long lecture.
One of 14. 14 2.5 hour long lectures.
Times 5.
That’s 175 hours. Whew!
I listen to many of his lectures 2-3xs. I learn something new each time
can't believe this man exists, definitely the most impactful intellect I've ever encountered
If my therapist would have been as smart and eloquent as Jordan Peterson I would have cured my existential crisis a couple years ago. But at least I am now starting to fully understand myself
My first therapist threw a fit when I wouldn't open up about my parents in the first 5 minutes I met him. Second one spent an average 7 minutes with me then pumped me full of experimental anti depressants that would go on desensitizing every fiber of my being. Thank god there are people like Peterson out there still honoring their profession.
Welcome to The club :) my first therapist was falling asleep during the sessions. It took me a while until I found a proper one. Powodzenia :)
Pawel Kapica That's wonderful! It's as though Peterson, since putting his clinical practice on hold, has become a remote therapist for innumerable people.
Well for me as well and I think when you are reflected how wouldn't they be. I must say reading C.G Jung and the books about his work are very helpful as well.
Ur not alone bud. Life is complicated. Try the Self Authoring suite. I never actually wrote out and read back my story before. Its kinda neat. Figured out my calling that way, no shit.
This series is, now, more important than ever.
Yes but clearly he's also exhausted trying to do this work on his own. We must be brave and help carry his message - I agree we are in true peril
Demos by Dostoevsky is more important than ever lol
Yessir, I try to influence 'woke' people to jordan
@@jaydub5011 ehh try not to push JP on to people, push his ideals. Don't say "Well Peterson says we are all emotional creatures" say "well fundamentally we are emotional creatures." It does 2 things; if the person is anti-Peterson not mentioning his name makes them not get defensive, and having a conversation based on what you know as an individual will help you have a conversation with the opposite individual, not a conglomeration of ideas they have accrued and are just repeating.
Make sure you understand the point you are trying to make, then make it minus Peterson. If someone compliments the thought and asks how you came up with it, then you can introduce them to Peterson's psychological teachings.
Just now realizing how influential the Bible was to the development of western civilization. Even if you’ve never read it it’s the most influential book of your life, quite interesting.
God does NOT know those who don't KNOW HIM!
@Jim Jones I research and I found bible have almost 3000 years old
I also find if we follow the bible seriously we never had the destruction of world so soon
Western Civilization is built upon two pillars, Logos (logic) and Theos ( theology), deny either one and our society collapses. Deny Logos and you end up with a witch burning theology, deny Theos and you end up with nihilistic communism.
It's the most harmful and destructive book that's influenced more death and harm. Most influential because certain people used it negatively not positively.
@@Cynnas I believe you're talking about the communist manifesto or the red book
Every year, I come back to watch Dr Peterson's Biblical series. It is amazing to see that such knowledge and profound reflection are available for free, and I hope that many people, especially the youngest, have the chance to confront themselves with Dr Peterson's ideas and teachings. He stands as a beacon for those of us who profoundly believe that the Western world is going towards a very dangerous, nihilistic path, but redemption is available for everybody. Please, Dr Peterson, don't stop.
Jordan, I just want to let you know. Your "HUMILITY" is truly why you are easy to listen to. I'm suffering from alcoholism. I'm all in on how you think. Just need to get sober and fight as hard as you. Love YOU and understand I have to do my part. Thank you for your service.
I wish you all the very best Paul. I hope the day comes when your love of being sober is greater than your love of being intoxicated.
Good luck brother!
@@joshwhite5407 Thank you Josh. I currently have 45+ days sober and a new relationship with Jesus. I owe it all to Him.
@@dakini365 Thank you my friend. I currently have 45+ days sober and a new relationship with Jesus. I owe it all to Him.
@@paulharris3664 Congratulations Paul, I recovered my sobriety and life by giving it to Christ Jesus 10 years ago. You chose the right path that leads to eternal life and by the look of things, not a moment too late. A personal relationship with Jesus is not a religion, it is life. With out Jesus we are dead with no hope. With Christ you need not worry anymore, He has control of your life from now on and will never leave you. He will be calling us to Him soon, so spead the good news. Blessings brother.
You know, the humanities catch a lot of flak in our culture. I'm an engineer, and I've snickered at jokes made at the expense of liberal arts folk plenty of times. But I take it all back. Just one Jordan Peterson justifies the humanities as a field. If only all, or even most people that go through that training could be as open, honest, and undeniably brilliant as Peterson. When he really gets into a subject, I feel like his words are showing us his very soul. His mastery of the facts associated with his arguments, his passion for his beliefs, and his ability to articulate that passion in a stirring way, surpass any other speaker I've ever listened to.
This is what a labor of love looks and sounds like.
I've been the same but after watching all his Psychology lectures I'm going to stop mocking Psychologist and now I'm studying it.
Well said!!!!
He emits integrity.
I can hear the cries of patriarchy in the distance as you speak lol
He is a prophet of our modern age, something that was badly needed.
This series may be the most profound thing I’ve ever heard.
Agreed. Probably the greatest intellectual of our generation
The different perspective that Jordan Peterson offers on the bible is like you said "profound," it is a breath of fresh air. We just need every human on this planet to gain the insight or train of thought that Jordan Peterson has.
Just wait till you read the new testament
Then you simply MUST watch "Awakening from the meaning crisis" by his colleague John Vervaeke
There are not the words to describe the importance, the depth, and the courage and love that this man operates in and with.
Books that he mentioned
1. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
2. Demons by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
3. The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
4. The Red Book by C.G. Jung
5. Bible
Great but why didn't you mark the locations, what a waste
Thanks
Michael Carpenito I'm a newbie. Sorry
Active imagination by C.G. Jung
I started the Gulag Archipelago...it’s good, but sad and strange. I think our society could turn into that mess if we don’t pursue truth and dare conflict with love.
I have never heard a more entertaining and profound speaker in my life. Jordan Peterson has reignited my latent passion of obtaining knowledge. Also, I found out about him on Joe Rogan's podcast so much credit to him.
brb I need to vacuum my room
#MeToo
Jason Rulander: Too bad you do not speak French then. Henri Guillemin is the historian equivalent of Peterson. You would love his analysis of the Bible or of the French Rwvolution.
Jordan could easily be a leader of a HUGE cult, with his mastery of language and knowledge.
But instead, he uses his gifts to try to inspire us, which he does on an EPIC scale.
He changed my Life, and continues to do so.
He is on his way there people have already started blaspheming
Peterson for president? I don't think he'd like that very much so I agree.
He is already a cult leader lmao, are conservatives that dense
your not sure though and i am a fool to think so.
@@user-mt4fw6sh9e What JP related blasphemy have you seen?
Not saying your wrong but I've just not seen much beyond some interesting jokes.
I also think that collectively we hardly recognise the gratitude that should be felt for the commitment to doing the hard work that has led this man to arrive at the point he has reached on the path to truth (as much as it is ongoing) and then to crystallise it and distill it and communicate it with us all…. It’s a bloody miracle!
Close to 3 million views for a lecture on God !! How is this possible? I see long form lectures by JP as the backlash to the superficial Instagram-esque world we now live in. The cotton candy being shit out by the cultural machine ain't doing it for us, but *this* shit is! Greatly encouraged that there are so many others out there looking to dive deep into some heavy shit. Not everyone's attention span these days is 10 seconds, look at that. I am not alone after all! Thank you, JP, for being the antidote to our vapid times!
A great awakening is taking place. Welcome to the party...
This comment made me smile; but I don't think that's a good thing. :)
PSJamie2k Why do you say that?
@@burger5082 Because he/she described sad truths.
this should be trending #1 on UA-cam right now
in the comedy section maybe
If this was the kind of thing to trend on youtube, imagine the society we would be living in.
This is a wonder to behold. Jordan is explaining in modern terms the force inside Christianity, the coherence of its human message that created the world upon which we all stand.
+Pedro Marinho This is the society we are living in. It's a mixed chaotic mess, but Jordan's videos and interviews are friggin everywhere. Men line up and pay for tickets to hear him tell them about religion and how important it is. In his banned speech at that US college, where he personally donated his own stipend they paid him to come for them to rent a new venue, he started the speech about picking up your cross and embracing the kingdom of God and he ended the same way. It's viral and mirrored on several channels. So many people, mostly atheists, from what I'm seeing, have been looking forward to this series and chomping at the bit for it . This is the world we are living in. Thank God, this day is too long in coming, but it's here.
Gobbledygook. Pre enlightenment there was little difference in the ethical behaviorus in say.. christianity and islam. Christians in Europe were constantly warring, torturing, burning witches etc. I'm sure Islam was no better. Then came the European enlightenment. To it's credit Christian Europe was amenable to a revolution in thinking. The revolution though, did not come from Christianity. It came from individuals doing work that challenged Christianity. It cam from people who showed that christianity was based on falsehood. Again, credit where credit's due. Islam would never have allowed this. Let's get another thing straight. The bible is a collection of writings with no coherent message. Good in parts, very, very bad in other parts. There's nothing in it that has relevance to a modern understanding of ethics, morality or science.
This man is a rock-star of intellectuals. I'm a Ph.D. historian, and I'm in awe of his mind.
Me too. He's incredible. don't know why I hadn't heard of him sooner. Just heard him on Glenn beck.
He has no time for politics....although he is doing politics, sort of.....
ya me too i love how he regurgitates other peoples theories like a google search while citing lion king and pinoccio
Kevin Jones If you actually had bothered to listen to what he's saying and look at some of his videos or interviews, you would have found out that it's completely bogus. J. Peterson is not a racist...
Vanilla A has no ears.
