Hey Jordan i saw a kid wearing a cape at the park today, I told him "you better help me save the world, only heroes wear capes" 2 minutes later... this kid was inviting the shy lonely boy without friends on the hill into the group, cheering him to join them, they were all cheering and welcoming him...I wish you could have seen it too, immensely beautiful and inspiring.
Nice
That's a beautiful testament to the power of positivity❤
Did that with my husband.
Thank you for sharing this respect 🤍🇮🇶
NO CAPES! Too easy to get snagged on something or sucked into a vortex or jet engine.
When you first awake, your brain operates at around 10.5 waves per second. The range from eight to 13 Hz, or cycles per second, is the alpha stage. It's been called the gateway to the subconscious mind. Practice gratitude meditations during this time to set the mood for the rest of the day. The first 20mins after waking is the most important time to think positively. Hell, even brushing your teeth with the non-dominant hand while thinking of something to be grateful for helps form new pathways in your brain. Neuroplasticity has been helping my mental health a great deal over the past decade. God Bless.
Bless. Thank you
I didn't know that. I'll start practicing it. Thank you very much. 🙏🏽
Okay.gif
I love that feeling when you can feel those neurons reaching out in a new direction it’s satisfying like stretching in real life! So funny you can feel something like that with just teeth brushing switch ups! Ha
Thanks for the insight !
Sam describes the measurable life of a "self-centered" nihilist.
I spent 60 years searching, 'waiting', and constant consumption, until I was saved.
Now, everything is easy-peasy; regulated, paced, and steady prayer with my Savior.
As scripture says, being 'saved' gives one a new heart, is truth~
I feel like sam is still hanging onto his atheistic and nihilistic views because he's not ready to let those go, it seems he's realizing we're not our brains and bodies but he doesn't know how to incorporate that into his worldview
I've been a practicing Christian for forty years, and am not unfamiliar with choosing which thoughts to invite in for tea and which to kick to the curb. Nine months ago I got tripped up, and actually ended up POSSESSED and UNABLE to control my thinking! It was one of the worst experiences in hell I've ever had, though not without it's "beauty" (because that's what tripped me up in the first place). Eckhart Tolle's teachings helped me a lot to get rid of the constant rumination and get outside of the pain body (learning to just accept and observe it from outside of it, which makes it dissipate!), and slowly get control of myself. Very valuable instruction, and it was easy once I understood it, because I'm used to being aware of "my" thoughts. I'm almost well again. Very, very close, and doing better every day. Still a little raw, but very manageable. It was a "dark night of the soul." I've started to learn that this instruction that Sam's talking about is absolutely invaluable at times. I'm SO thankful that I know, I KNOW without any doubt, that my Heavenly Father loves and forgives me and is on my side. I've learned that over 40 years. He knew I could handle this, or He never would have allowed me to trip and fall like that. He kept the temptation away, just enough so I could handle it. It has been an almost unbelievable learning and growing experience.
Life is pain. But it is also beauty. Hard to remember, even harder to apply, but marvelous when experienced.
The quality of my life has been enhanced to a degree that is hard to quantify by listening to and reading the books of these two men. Thank you both so much for what you bring to the world. ❤
I prefer these discussions to their debates. Seems more valuable to me.
@@Fxrrxt2x I agree, they are complimenting each other’s knowledge.
As you highlight they are both great. You might be also interested in @johnvervaeke work, he goes deep into the practical side of philosophy and cognitive sciences
Thank you for this,I will definitely incorporate it into my routine.
It's been incredible even though it's been hard but to learn that taking less and wanting less has made my life more joyful. The reason I would go overboard on the good things I could get was because I was afraid it would be the last time, in almost every case. Once I began to discipline myself I have become more stable and less stressed. My daughter sent me a quote out of a book my psychologist wanted me to read, it's called "The happiness trap" It is true but if you are running only on emotion you will not be able to grasp the truth of it.
Most of us have been raised to believe that the road to life is paved with pleasure and that the pursuit to pleasure is the path to fulfillment. But as we grow up we realize life is not always easy or pleasurable. In fact much of it is difficult and painful. We all experience loss, disappointment, illness, aging and eventually death. We encounter stress anxiety and fear. We suffer from the slings and arrows of every day life. And yet we continue to cling to the idea that happiness is found in pleasure and the avoidance of pain. We try to avoid our painful experiences by numbing ourselves with drugs alcohol distracting with TV or social media pr obsessing over our work or relationships. But the more we try to avoid the basic reality that all human life involves pain the more likely it is we will struggle with that pain when it arises there by creating even more suffering. The truth is happiness is not found in the avoidance of pain but in the willingness to face and accept our pain. It is in the willingness to experience our painful thoughts and feelings to acknowledge them without judgment and to take action in line with our values and goals. It is the willingness to be present in the moment to connect to our senses and our environment and find joy and meaning in the simple things in life.
Well said ❤
Well said.
Great conversation. Very practical and helpful. Thanks to you both.
Props to you for all that hard work! It’s great advice.
Christianity has been saying this for 2,000 years. No need to try to reinvent the wheel.
Nasa reinvented the wheel for space. Pretty cool
@@RandomlyAwesomeFilms Are you implying that, since science keeps inventing and discovering new things, then, logically, every other area of human life should behave in the same way? Even religion, which is about something (being human) that has remained exactly the same for the last thousands of years?
Meditation?
@@poli3828 Not everyone knows that Christianity has always embraced eastern meditation as a form of prayer as well.
When I first started following Sam, some 17 or 18 years ago, I never once expected him to start spreading Buddhism to the public in such a conversational and down-to-earth way. It's quite awesome, really.
Many believe that Buddhists invented this while Jesus meditated on many things for great lengths of time. Nuns meditate, Priests etc.Past Saints, it's a very old practice.
When Professor X and Magneto finally decide to team up and you’re lucky enough to be here for it🧐
@@1Andelina1 Yeah. The Buddha lived 600 years before Christ, and even back then meditation was already a thing. But the concept of not-self is fully Buddhist at the root. It is literally *the* thing that made the Dharma so incredibly powerful. Whereas other people talked about god this, god that, infinite this, infinite that, eternal this, eternal that, the Buddha cut right down to the chase: how is *your* direct experience of reality, buddy?
@@alanarcher Christ has no beginning nor will he have an end.
@@1Andelina1 Right.
Such depth. I love it!
Ugh, so true. I'm proud to be a part of the Jordan Peterson Audience, a Doctor and Renaissance Man who thinks of the Big Picture and the plurality of perspectives!
I'm so happy I found mr Peterson. He's had such a positive impact on me and my life as a whole. I wish I could be more like him. I love how calm and cool he is at all times, and how He doesn't let people rile him up during arguments.
Amazing video thank you!
I had a series of events that were very stressful in my childhood that nearly made my personality shatter.
The swirling nightmare of thoughts surrounded me like the voices of a thousand foes.
It was all faces and voices and felt so real that I thought I might lose me.
Studying buddhism was the answer that helped me most. While I am not sure if the religion is perfectly accurate, it has some very important pointers to self.
So I compartmentalized the voice that gave me advice that was useful and then I worked on another project.
I had to create an identity. I needed a front voice. One that was stronger than the others, one that was me!
I learned to objectify my thoughts and then examine them. While interesting, that was not fun work. There are some really scary things in there. Dark things, a whole lot of trauma and pain.
But, in examining my thoughts, I learned something. I steer this ship!
These intrusive thoughts, these voices in my head, these are something I have agency over.
The loudest of the voices can't scream louder than me. The most powerful pain cannot break me if I do not accept that. My voice is the strongest, I am the captain of this vessel.
This perspective makes my condition more bearable.
Still, I am not always in control, it seems my attention is finite. The moment I loosen my grip, even a little, I find myself drifting.
But one thing I never forget is that these are my thoughts, but my thoughts are not necessarily me.
Still, I wish I had more control.
Always room to improve, I guess.
Watching sam try to locate his soul but still ultimately believing that he is his intellect. The smarter the person, sometimes the harder it is to let go of thought dominance. I remember the first time I saw the split between my thoughts and the true self. Once you see/feel that you can never undo it.
I don’t think I have ever heard of that.
Beautifully said, I noticed the same thing, I was thinking during him speaking, is he still an atheist/nihilist? Because he's using words like "consciousness" instead of "brain" which I find unlike him, is he slowly becoming a spiritual person?
@@YahwehJesus777 I think he will become spiritual in the end and recognise that god is bigger than his intellect because that's where his special interest in mediation can only lead. He will find that superior answers and solutions come from mediation and letting go. Far superior and complex and synchronous than anything the intellect could manifest and be hungry for that higher potential existence being closer to god. And then his intellect will wonder why that is and eventually he will have to submit to his intuition which feeds us messages through the body feeling or letting go of our thoughts. He is treating meditating as a special intellectual interest/project. His approach may be intellectual and if he is anything like me he will hold onto his intellect until god pry's it from his cold dead hands lol. Just kidding. God is too loving too leave him to suffer with his intellect for that long. Actually suffering is the best thing to bring us closer to god. I still find that hard to understand but it is true. And the more we resist god and the teachings of Jesus, the more god lovingly knocks on our door with greater suffering to wake us up. But it is not god/Jesus that wishes the suffering for us. It is our choice. Our resistance. The suffering is proportional to our resistance to Jesus and God. I can see from my insanely long message that I need to shut up my intellect today and go and mediate or just do my daily tasks with god in mind while shutting up lol.
Thank you Jordan ✝️❤️
Synchronosity with Realaibility helps Profoundly save the nature with the wisdom thoughts provided consistently helps an individuals thinking ability consciously converted to cognition Gratitude Jordan.🙏🧘
Through Jesus Christ, death is just a pathway to Heaven
"You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you."
(Saint Augustine)
😄Oh the joy of seeing Sam submit to the necessity of deep spirituality. All things revealed in time 🔥🙏☺️
I know right, but you can tell he's not ready to give up his hyper rationalist nihilistic views
Thoughts appear to us as objects appearing out of thin air, and we take possession of them. It makes you wonder who or what constructed them and had access to them before we claimed them as our own.
I see basically three modes of mind: dispassionate observation, concentration, and vacancy. The thought energy comes from associations in experiential memory triggered by the state of awareness in that moment. In the act of articulation of this complex of associations we form the typical "thought". You can get beneath that articulation level and observe the associative process, and enjoy symbolic thinking, which is very fast and definitive...and penetrating.
In Christianity we learn to face death head on. We do not fear death, we accept it voluntarily with our eyes towards God.
Yeah, Egypt is something else. Talk about coping with hell. Lord of the flies😂
Buddhists also say to realise the ultimate nature of mind in this lifetime before it is too late. The opportunity is fleeting and it is availeble briefly. Once realised you can stop talking about everyting. Stop identifying with the identifier and realise the ultimate watcher. Dont complicate it and find a master who has done the work to point it out to you like Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche who is structured and not all over the place.
That’s very helpful 😊
To find the truth that lies within,
We must first quiet all the din,
And turn our focus deep inside,
Where peace and wisdom do reside.
Meditation is the tool we use,
To quiet down the mental fuse,
And find the stillness in our heart,
Where inner peace can truly start.
But it takes perseverance too,
To master this art that's not so new,
For in the stillness of the mind,
Our fears and doubts are hard to find.
So let us persevere each day,
And meditate in our own way,
With patience, love, and open heart,
We'll find the peace that we impart.
And as we journey on this path,
We'll find our strength and inner wrath,
And in the stillness of our soul,
We'll find the truth that makes us whole.
So let us meditate each day,
And persevere along the way,
For in this journey of the heart,
We find the love that sets us apart.
Dedicated to t Campbell mbt
I don't meditate (not great enough), but I do think.
When I was in my 20's, I would spend time thinking until I realized I did not have enough data to go further and get up and get something done. Analysis paralysis was a big issue back then.
Now that I am alot older, and have a very good memory, I can sit down and think for a very, very long time I and can come to some very ballpark answers to issues plaguing me as I wander in thought through the vast library of my memory.
Its the Wide Beam focus of searching for answers that we all get better at as we age.
This is crazy you guys are identifier my brain T I hear see everything very clearly. I’ve been doing this for a long time, but God is giving me a gift of seeing things understanding things very simple and clearly. But it’s been very hard to me to explain. Guys are so explain it right now.
That's what Paul is talking about when he says, "Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." And [2Co 10:5 KJV] 5 "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;" At first those intrusive thoughts come to mind a lot when first getting familiar with the New Testament.
Instant gratification, is something that has been forced upon us by marketing ploys, as it is meant to feed the ego, with more desires, one after another,
When we realise we are spirit moving flesh, not flesh needing everything to get spiritual, just go within ask your self who am I, you will start to realise you are not this flesh body you are spirit you are consciences that is the most peaceful reality, you can live with
Founders Ministries? I've recently been listening to Voddy Baucham a LOT. He is awesome.
Thank you Dr. Your a hero.
This is really interesting. I would love to see Jordan speak with Rupert Spira and get his thoughts on Ruperts understanding of non duality.
I’m going to have to watch this a few times 🤯
NEW CONVERSATION!
The necessity of being listened some is so overwhelming that loneliness could become a really ordeal.
I think Sam did an amazing job describing how I often feel/think about my own thinking. I can see so much of myself in him. The Buddhist mindfulness stuff? It seems like a tool but not something that gives meaning to life. It seems like something many try to replace spirituality with because the God thing is something they have painful issues with. Mindfulness stuff seems to connect oneself to oneself so in some sense I question if its narcissistic but then I've heard the kingdom of heaven is within us so maybe mindfulness has more value as a tool than I understand.
that voice could be a friend or even a loved one!? how long do i gotta sit still for that?
Stoicism helped me a lot to cope with hell. I had panic attacks because of the fear of losing control.
Very interesting video JP🫡
For a mind that busy, so busy thoughts can't be ignored. More than one object of meditation can be used simultaneously. Not only breath, but a mantra, and also meditation beads. All at the same time. You'll end up using most of the mental bandwidth this way and there will be less power available for thought. Things will slow.
I would have to add, learning meditation is best done under the supervision of a Buddhist Monk. Tampering with your own mind isn't such a great idea. Mediation follows a path with a particular outcome, just taking one part of the path can lead to confusion.
Is this what Jungian psychology refers to as the "shadow self"? It's about mastering that side of you; not by fighting it, but by accepting and becoming one with it. Very interesting stuff, and I found myself aware of it way before I even looked into psychology and wanted to learn more about it.
Can think of it like this. Everyone has a "dark" side to them, and whether you choose to acknowledge that and "explore" that side of yourself is up to you. But just because you choose not to look at it doesn't mean it's not there, lurking in the back of your unconscious mind --pulling strings and influencing the way you think/perceive/feel about your experiences and the people you interact with--without your conscious awareness.
If you do choose to integrate that dark side of you however, at least then it's not lurking in the dark and you're not as susceptible to being unconsciously influenced by it.
Sometimes it is best to think about it as a house with a basement. The roof is like the superego (Freud), it controls everything. The house's first floor and it is like the ego. Then you have the trapdoor leading into the basement. The basement is where you find the darkself. Your consciousness holds the trapdoor closed, but the darkself will, on occasion, slam it open. The basement is all about survival and death.
@@Lin-co9jd I think you might be mixing together a couple different concepts in that analogy, as I don't believe Freud included a "dark self" in his theory. You also used the ego and superego, but forgot to include the id ;)
@@Cynicalyt You do realize that Freud was the first to come up with the idea of psychology, right? Jung took the idea of the id and basically branched it outwards calling it the shadow self. Most of the time the id, ego, and superego is shown as an iceberg, but the image is not the best at explaining the concept. The house example that I had seen in one of my father's psychology books makes more sense, in my opinion. In that picture, Jung and Freud's ideas were combined with the id being called shadow self (dark self). That side of the mind is also known as the subconscious, too. Psychology has it's roots with Freud, but his method was only in dealing with people who had mental illness. Very few have anything to do with the normal mind as Maslow is the only one who comes to mind.
@@Lin-co9jd Clearly you two in the comments know more about this subject than I do, for as I'm still new to psychology but, would you say anxiety (and depression?) are manifestations of this "shadow self"?
Side note: my anxiety can reach points of being unreasonable. I understand why we have these... systems, but, most of the time, it seems to be a detriment to basic survival needs.
Why would the body have systems in it that are counter-productive to the body? And why do some people get to the point of commiting suicide? Is that like, the "shadow self" winning? But why would it want that? I believe in Jung's theory, but it seems like the "shadow" should be conquered. Clearly, there must be something I'm not understanding here.
I guess we're just... complicated beings.
Adding on: I just thought about what the eastern cultures talk about a lot; balance. Balance is the key! Not conquering the "shadow" but keeping it in balance and not out of control. I think I'll be keeping my above thinking there, though.
I can 100% identity with what Sam is saying!
I can’t differentiate day dreaming vs. meditation tbh
gum drops are everybodys favorite
Adonai, who can rest in your tent?
Who can live on your holy mountain?
Those who live a blameless life,
who behave uprightly,
who speak truth from their hearts
and keep their tongues from slander;
who never do harm to others
or seek to discredit neighbors;
who look with scorn on the vile,
but honor those who fear Adonai;
who hold to an oath, no matter the cost;
who refuse usury when they lend money
and refuse a bribe to damage the innocent.
Those who do these things
never will be moved.
This is why I take opiates: the only way to make that seat comfortable for an hour, and make me feel like I'm not an 8 year old that's continually waiting for a birthday party that never comes. It also helps attenuate the guilt and shame I have to be nearly 33 yo and the type of person thats.... writing a damn comment like this on TH-cam. Seriously folks, get a good job, don't take shitty drugs, and don't put up with any bullshit from anyone. Do what you want and like what you do. If you can meditate then more power to you. The closest I can get (besides opiates) is to go for a walk or do yoga. Sit there? Not unless I'm in a jail cell.
Thank you for this comment. Yes. You are speaking for a generation.
What a dry person Sam appears to be, and what a deep and compassionate soul JBP has revealed to us.
Aside from JBP's compulsion to dominate every conversation, even on subjects he knows little about.
@@annal2740 I see what you mean. It is a trait that a natural leader should have, but it can be annoying. :)
@@annal2740I know what you are saying, I’ve seen JP interrupt in many interviews, I think we all like to share what we think and he knows much more than most of us. Funny thing is I found JP so patient and listening at the beginning of this video. My patience for Sam has never been particularly high and while I am glad to see him talking to JP again, I am not sure Sam has much to contribute.
Sam has been hollow out of emotion by his own rationality.
This describes the best way to learn how to listen.
I wouldn't know, I never experienced satisfaction in the first place. I've never even had "the best of times"
The legendary hickson Gracie has a saying “finding comfort in hell”
If he could find comfort in the most extreme circumstances he could never lose
I would be very interested in seeing Jordan Peterson talk to a spiritual teacher/mystic. I feel like this would add a necessary dimension to the topics Jordan Talks about. The approach, the direction from which Jordan and his guests approach topics like meditation and mindfulness (a very scientific, cerebral approach) isn't practical and certainly not the way to make fast spiritual progress. The things Jordan and his guests sometimes wonder about have long, in fact for thousands of years, been solved by eastern mystics.
TH-cam reads my mind. How handsome Jordan, always.
The irony of me watching this video while eating an entire container of mint chocolate chip ice cream is almost as delicious as the ice cream.
A lot of the problems that humanity faces could be solved if a man could sit alone with himself undisturbed for an hour. (Sic) ❤
Sleeping ?
Jordan Peterson is a man I’d walk through hell with
Me as well.
Virgil.
He has experience of the witness who is not his mind …. But then he concludes that everything is reduce to electrochemistry in the brain
Sam went full TDS just as Nietzsche predicted 😂
If you ever saw Hell you better watch out for what comes out of your mouth
it's powerful stuff.
Oh I like this
I tell everybody in my shop I bet they can't walk from one side of the shop to the other without moving their mouth AT ALL lol, constant adjustments and moving
I just flicked my fingers and commanded my brain to automatically have good thoughts and discard the negative ones and have good conversations with myself. Haha no but seriously how does accomplish having good thoughts and conversations
I wonder if the brain tells itself to meditate? I'm interested in that question, because even though my brain doesn't believe in the existence of a god, it does meditate.
I would appreciate other people's opinions on that question.
From the book … All the Living and The Dead: From Embalmers to Executioners, An Exploration of Those Who Have Made Death Their Life’s Work. Author … Hayley Campbell
Months prior to this I sat at a picnic table in winter as Anil Seth, a neuroscientist, explained consciousness to me. He told me that reality is the brain’s best guess at what is happening outside of its own dark room, where it sits windowless and blind, being fed information by other tools - eyes, ears, fingers. All of your senses are spies for your brain. It pieces together what it can from the scant information it is supplied, blurs it with memory and experience and calls it life. Now, all of this magic, all of this brain’s best guesses in the dark, are inaccessible. They are pure organic matter in a bucket, firming up so that someone can slice its billions of forged connections that create reality and wisdom, an entire universe of someone, and find the reason why it stopped.
Wow. That's a cool passage. Believing (in God and the Bible) comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. In other words, you're going to believe what YOU decide to put in your mind (or what you allow others to put in your mind). Read the New Testament, including especially the church epistles (Romans through Thessalonians). The more you read it, the more you will believe it. And then you'll get born again.
@@gailhill8391 Had you and I been born into a different culture, we would have been indoctrinated by different systems of belief, and we would no doubt have believed the stories to be truth.
Example ... Every sincere person in every religion believes that he or she has the one and only truth from a god.
Example: From the book “Infidel,” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali … Sister Aziza told us it was our duty to convert our Christian classmates. She told us it was the only way to spare our friends the pain of Hell.
I went to Sister Aziza and said, “The other girls won’t become Muslim. Their parents have taught them other religions. It isn’t their fault, and I don’t think that’s fair that they’ll burn in hell.” Sister Aziza told me I was wrong. Through me, Allah had given them a choice. If these girls rejected the true religion, then it was right that they should burn.
We all heard about Hell. That was what Quran school was mostly about: Hell and all the mistakes that could put us there. The Quran lists Hell’s torments in vivid detail: sores, boiling water, peeling skin, burning flesh, dissolving bowels, the everlasting fires that burns you forever, for as your flesh chars and your juices boil, you form new skin. These details overpower you, ensuring you will obey.
The charismatic Christians were no less aggressive than the fundamentalist Muslims in those days.
@@gailhill8391 I also was born into a Christian culture.
I soon realized that even had Jesus lived, as a Jewish Rabbi … he wouldn’t have had anything in common with either Catholicism … or Protestantism.
I suggest that all religion is myth, that in turn causes nothing but division and nasty behavior among devout believers.
For instance … if the word Jesus had never existed, the Christians would not have had any “reason” to kill the Jews century after century, as being "Christ killing" heretics.
“We are all hallucinating all the time, including right now. It’s just that when we agree about our hallucinations, we call that reality.” Anil Seth … neuroscientist.
From the book … The Arrogance of Faith, by Forrest G. Wood … Besides, if Christianity is for everyone, why was it not from the beginning revealed to everyone?
@@junevandermark952 You make some good points. I'm not talking about Protestantism nor Roman Catholicism. I'm talking about the BIBLE, which neither most Roman Catholics, nor most Protestants actually study, nor believe. I don't think the Bible substantiates a place like "hell." It says people will die the second death. Fear is not a good thing in the Bible, and we are told over and over NOT to be afraid. God is Love (1 John 4:16). It is the GOODNESS of God that leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4). There is more to the story about the Jews than is popularly known, but you won't hear it on mainstream media. The good guys are NEVER the ones who want to censor others. Jesus Christ said we are to LOVE even our enemies. That is NOT what the Jews religion says, it says to hate their enemies--an eye for an eye. Muslims, who teach that Jesus was a great Prophet, are converting to Christianity. So are many Jews. God speed on your journeys. If you have questions or problems with the Bible, I'm happy to talk about it with you. If you are happy going your own direction, that's great.
@@gailhill8391 The supposed savior of souls of Christians, was just the most recent savior-myth story. Example as follows, and please note how Chrishna was spelled, before the Christians came up with the word Christ, and how the Hindus then changed the spelling of their supposed savior to "Krishna."
From the book … The World’s Sixteen Crucified Saviors … Christianity before Christ, by Kersey Graves … first published in 1875.

35. Mohammud, or Mahomet, of Arabia.
These have all received divine honors, have nearly all been worshiped as Gods, or sons of Gods; were mostly incarnated as Christs, Saviors, Messiahs, or Mediators; not a few of them were reputedly born of virgins; some of them filling a character almost identical with that ascribed by the Christian’s bible to Jesus Christ; many of them like him, are reported crucified; and all of them, taken together, furnish a prototype and parallel for nearly every important incident and wonder-inciting miracle, doctrine and precept recorded in the New Testament, of the Christian’s Savior. Surely, with so many Saviors the world cannot, or should not, be lost.

Meditation is an unnatural state. The natural state of human consciousness is to be mindful and aware at all times. This is both a mental necessity to maintain healthy body function, both awake and asleep, too a physical necessity to avoid danger. From primitively, during or after. That said, meditation is a useful tool one trains their body and mind to perform, in order to bring peace upon ones self, mentally and physically.
It's the first time I'm not completely repulsed by the idea of meditation and I actually feel there's hope and purpose in trying it. I guess when two of the smartest men on earth have a conversation, I know I better stop being so damn stubborn and listen 😅
I know it sounds childish, but I get the sense that it's not the message that's the most important, but how I feel about the messenger.
If you consider either of these men, let alone Sam, to be the most intelligent in the world: you literally are sub 80 IQ and live underground or something. Pick up a book without pictures it'll be good for you
how could you have been complete repulsed by mediation in the first place? this has been practiced by the wisest men for a millennium.
On the neuroscience side, it increases grey matter in the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for things like self-awareness, discipline and willpower
@@olliew2932 Have you tried it? Everything in you fights its hardest to get you out of there. It's no joke.
Life is pain. Note to self- don’t watch these videos when severely depressed 😢
We are simply not made to go through this pain on our own.
We all need Someone who is willing to face the pain with us. At least at the start. And it's more like a marathon. So it's not done with one chat with a friend.
I believe that this is possible.
All the best
Hang in there, Andrew. You've got this.
@@alexakalennon Of course we are meant to face our own pains independently. dependence on others is not strength.
Pain becomes the mulch that helps that inner seed of consciousness sprout into wisdom. It awakens us to all we have taken for granted. Pain awakens us, breaks us open so the light of God flows through.
Rejoice my friend. God gives his greatest battles to his strongest warriors.
The Buddha said life is suffering thousands of years ago, but they also point it there is a way out.
Is this a new one or the one from a year ish ago?
old one

Why does it seem Sam Harris is so far into his own perception of reality to say anything truly fulfilling?
I can't imagine much of what he says will resonate unless you have taken some real steps along the path he discusses. It is not enough to know at only the intellectual level. It takes sustained practice. Insights tend to arrive when the mind is quiet. It took me many years of off-and-on-again practice to finally understand, the real purpose of meditation. Afterall, there are so many meditation teachers nowadays but many, if not most, are just teaching a relaxation technique. But (quoting John Vervaeke), meditation is not 'relaxation', it is 'education' and 'transformation'. It may be difficult to absorb what he is saying without some grounding in meditation practice. With experience, you may begin to appreciate he has quite an amazing ability to describe complex ideas and analyse nuances in relatively simple terms.
because he has unresolved psychological stresses that he over compensates with by being hyper rational, which is like using your right hand to smash your left because you consider it less efficient lol
@@sharkboy2023 I see what you mean! Thanks for the insight.
Ego incarnate. Perpetuated by his surety in his antitheism.
@@CleverGirlAAH makes me wonder why he is so uncomfortable displaying his emotional intelligence. I imagine its quite underdeveloped. now WHAT do we imagine would be the cause of underdeveloped emotional intelligence? Can't possibly be insecure childhood environments surrounded by parents who are equally emotionally unintelligent. its not like that type of person would marry one another for that very reason lol
I pray that Sam Harris would get Jesus amen
meh, jesus or the other variations of the same character. he found asian jesus.
I dunno, i can stay seated for longer than an hour. I can sleep in the same position for a while too. Lol😂

Poor Sam Harris. Just say the word Trump and he goes off the rails. Harris needs and should seek help.
You talking cognetive therapy? Takes considerable effort but works.

What is he on about.
I will never take advice from sam Harris again
why? doesn't he seem like the type of cheery guy who has his entire life together? i mean, he's super rich and famous. clearly he is qualified to give advise. oh wait, he's a neurologist....yippie.
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse he's a radical leftist
I do not trust the judgment or the opinion of Sam Harris. I'll pass.
How come? I’ve always found him to be quite knowledgeable
@@user_-qg6yd Sam Harris lost all credibility when he said the suppression of Hunter Biden's laptop was justified in order to help prevent Trump from serving a second term.
He’s been indoctrinated by a cult. The same cult that would have Dr. Peterson removed from all platforms and possibly worse.
That Triggerometry interview essentially blew up his facade of a cool ration intellectual.
Made you question what he REALLY thinks.
@@johnsmithers8913 it seeps through
Jordan is miles ahead of Harris. Always has been always will be.
I have no idea who this sam harris is, but he sure sounds like he likes to hear himself talk. Ego is a bad thing.
Dude really can't stay comfortable for more than an hour? Yikes

Obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is how to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, the good news of Jesus Christ's sacrifice to give humans salvation.
- Read Isaiah chapter 53, and read Psalm chapter 16. Say the Our Father prayer. Then do the law of love, by saying "God is here" and saying "my neighbour is here, like I am here".
The gospel makes you go automatically into what you need to do to get freedom and uniquely big prosperity from God. God reveals it to you.
Sam harris,talking about good intentions?
👍👍🙏✨✨✨
Sam Harris literally scares me lol
why? the death stare of "my parents didn't love me much" make you uncomfortable?
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse that’s one thing for sure lol
@@CircumcisionIsChildAbusethis comment 😂
@@Justin-vq9co lol its a real thing. you ever see the face of Gabor Mate? the expert of childhood trauma XD he has that resting face of despair the same way. Like have you ever seen miserable babies? they exist. how well parents alleviate the stress of their children is important for emotional regulation.
It's really no surprise to me Harris has gravitated to eastern religion. It's very inwardly reflective.
Did you know studies have shown survivors of trauma are more likely to struggle with universal religious concepts? Survival keeps that animal part of our brains hardwired for threat, which is the highly analytical, logical, problem solving, attentive, perceptive part of the brain. It's only in a state of calm and safety would a persons ability to creatively express themeslves be unlocked.
Like you never see a cat playing, eating and relaxing if you took it to an airport and let it lose right? It would be afraid, it's survival instincts kick in and the first thing it does is find a safe place to hide. Thus, the introvert is born. If you can't find a safe place in the outside world, the inner world becomes that place. So eastern religions that focus on inward self reflection and personal enlightenment would be the religions for people like Harris. It's not because they're any more or less objective or logical than western religions, its just western religions are likely negatively assoicated in their lives. as a logical person would struggle to appreciate or understand art. If all your life you spent working out your right art, your left stays weak. same with people like harris. too much time inwardly self reflecting you lose the beauty of art. especially if you're not a creative mind to begin with.
some people humor their minds with 1-2 ideas at a time, a creative mind humors themselves with 20 ideas. thats why the two tend to get on eachotheres nerves lol hence the "narrow minded" atheist meets the highly open minded theist and the two are forever criticizing their weaknesses instead of sharing their strengths.
poor mr. p. what an incredibly narrow minded view of life.
Jesus knew he was a gift of God of salvation to the Jews - to the world - NOT - as supposed and taught down the centuries - salvation from the punishment meted out by a wrathful God for bad behavior - BUT - to save people from mistaken beliefs - which created BAD RESULTS of their behavior.
But because Jesus loved the human race so deeply, he was prepared to teach and heal in defiance of the Jewish Priests. Jesus was prepared to "die" on the cross to reveal the TRUTH - the TRUTH about God as Creator, the TRUTH about Life, the TRUTH about Existence and the TRUTH about Love.
THIS IS THE TRUTH BEHIND THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS AND ALL THE REST WE HAVE HEARD IS MAN-MADE CONJECTURE ARISING OUT OF THE JEWISH PRACTICE OF BURNT OFFERINGS IN THE TEMPLE.
Jesus was a gift from God to humankind to help them surmount their ignorance, and help them find the true Path of Life leading to the joy, abundance and perfect wholeness of the Era of Love and Peace.
These were the perceptions, the desires, the intentions, the goals and the thoughts which Jesus bore within his mind and heart. This was the earthly mental-emotional framework clothing the spiritual consciousness of Jesus hidden within his head and figure.
