In this lecture, I tell the story of Abraham, who heeds the call of God to leave what was familiar behind and to journey into unknown lands. The man portrayed in the Bible as the father of nations moves forward into the world. He encounters the worst of nature (famine), society (the tyranny of Egypt) and the envy of the powerful, who desire his wife. There is nothing easy about Abraham's life. Instead, he is portrayed both as a real man, with serious problems, and a hero, who overcomes tremendous obstacles to establish himself in the world.
His covenant with God is an Ark. His decision to aim at the highest good he can conceptualize places an aura of magic around the events of his life, despite their harshness. He's a model for life in the world as it is, not as we wish it would be.

I wouldn't have believed it if someone told me years ago that a psychological analysis of the bible would be something I actively look forward to. And yet, here I am.
@@rapturebound197 ...Interesting observations. But what JP is doing goes beyond psychology, whose interpreters run the gamut. (For example, contrast the behaviorist BF Skinner's ideas to the depth-consciousness approach of CG Jung...big gulf there).
The mythologist Joseph Campbell said "People are looking for the experience of being alive." This is a BIG part of what JP is inspiring in people by his lectures. He does this by his learning in other fields besides psych.; he's also an original thinker and can read the pulse of the numerous SOCIAL upheavals happening in our global 'consciousness" now (altho I hate to use that term; too "new age").
I grew up in the Roman catholic tradition. My experience with their priests is I just don't get where they're coming from anymore. JP is filling that gap for me.
Su Sampson V insightful thank u pal✌️
@@rapturebound197 Truth!

Choking up like that... is when speaking truth and expressing love become the same thing. God bless you professor Peterson.
When he says that he doesn't understand his reaction I think he sort of feels the potential loss of meaning and therefore life that could happen if we don't sort ourselves out
Yup... It is crazy how when the Spirit of Counsel and the Spirit Understanding meet with such clarity it is so moving. It moves me deeply....
@@thebassmansion2401 I can imagine. I feel that the whole time watching this series.

@@Charles-ij1ow Clearly you aren't paying attention if you think that has any substance in the conversation. The man even talked about taking shrooms in this lecture series. This is absolutely pointless to talk about.
I came home from a funeral and 15-year-old boy who accidentally killed him self. I felt myself empty and overwhelmed. Having found the end of my metaphorical rope and this lecture saved my life. Not in the sense that I would hurt myself but rather it showed me how to stop hurting. God bless you please disregard the critics and continue your good work.
God bless you and your family, and the family of the young boy. That is tragic.
You are courageous
Hope you're feeling better, man
pain is not an indication of god, its an indication to do your best thing in the only life you know....

What does this quote mean? I like it
SeouL The situations and characters in fairytales are “archetypes”. They reflect real situations and real character traits. The lessons can be learned on a deeper level when we are older and have experienced life.

Petersons comfort in showing emotional vulnerability has made me very fond of the man.
Are you female, it's completely irrelevant of course, just curious. Great game by the way.

This lecture and this man is part of the reason I left my state for a better one during the pandemic. I saved money, made a plan with obtainable goals, and packed everything in my car and left everything behind in good terms (family, friends, girlfriend, things I thought I couldn’t live without). My family and friends recommended harshly against it saying, “mijo, don’t go there, there’s no jobs or money there and your family isn’t there to support you”. I left and did everything I told them I was going to do, within the year they all sold there houses and moved with me and thanked me. My dad told me, “mijo if it wasn’t for you we would’ve never known, I was wrong, and I’m proud of that.”
You should be proud...awesome...
Mijo. Dios te bendiga ❤ you went out there and took the risk. Your reward has come. We thank God for that
That is an amazing story. Me alegro por ti
Challenged my agoraphobia, while listening to JBP talk about God telling Abram to "go to places you don't know."
Looks pretty tame, just some guy walking around with headphones. But inside, a powerful moment.
Congratulation, that's awesome. Funny to imagine everyone else walking past not realising the significance.
Once you slay the dragon of agoraphobia, you can become a true plainswalker. Like a phoenix born from the ashes of red mana, from the mountains of kaladesh. I may have taken your profile pic too far...

Heh. Why should they? It's a pretty silly thing I'm going through, this phobia.
Robert Chorolovski Plainswalkers were just at the tail end of my gaming life in Magic, so I get it. Maybe time to update though. Probably a whole different game by this point.
Trenchcoat1Sword lol I quite playing cold turkey. It was consuming so much of my time and money; I had to make a "sacrifice" so to speak
Thank you, professor Peterson. I've been on an existential nihilistic depression for the last couple of years and your lectures have helped to imbue meaning into my life. Thank you so much.
Crime and punishment
Allow the LORD God Yeshua Hamashiach into your life, only he will bring true meaning and hope into your life. When you feel like that (or any time) call his name and he will reveal himself to you, and he will bring true peace, joy, hope, and meaning into your life. I hope you are doing well.
May God bless you and your family.
I like that I like to hear that you are feeling better I’m a stranger but I still like to hear that you’re doing better keep on going lots of love in Christ amen
I've been there, too. Glad to hear you made it to a better place. Keep going, there's better days ahead. 🙂
Can we get a 5 year update plz?
When he mentions the people writing him from around the world saying, "I cleaned my room and stopped doing things I know I shouldn't be doing, things got so much better," I started tearing up in my car. God, things _are_ so much better.
I don't know if people realize how deep in the abyss some of us were...
@@Matt-of2eq I've learned a lot about mindset, and the catch-22 of it is: "You become what you think about." We start thinking bad things, and it only gets worse from there until something or someone gets us to think differently. We don't take control of what we are until we are convinced to. It seems like free will is earned, not given.
wow he's on fire in this lecture. Just a great man.
ADGO That was exactly what I was going to post. Weird.
The National Post this week said that 40% of Canadians surveyed admit to experiencing anxiety. Is there anyone better than Jordan Peterson at spelling out concrete solutions to destructive behavior? Courage defeats self pity and out right evil.
I couldn’t agree more. He was Totally in the zone man. Love his intellect and his ability to clearly and logically communicate that intellect.
yeah what a beautiful thing
Hes a Luciferian. You better beware learning the bible from a non believer who follows Crowleys teachings.
We need people to archive his entire channel so if he does have to make a new channel the videos will still exist some where.

That's because it's psychology not doctrine or theology (though both are referenced, obviously). It's either a compendium on humanity by humanity, or revelations from the Almighty. To each their own I say.

ADGO perfect. I have been looking for this exact quote. Thanks you for the time stamp.
Ahimsa
This is one of my absolute favorite lessons I learned from JP. It's not about being an impotent, useless person, it's about being a person with power but who uses it wisely. It's like being in a relationship because you've CHOSEN eachother, not because you're both desperate and had to settle for eachother. The idea is you have the 'power' to choose, but you choose to use it wisely; dedicating yourself to loving a single woman. That's just one example -- it applies in so many areas of life.
Be dangerous, but be even more so, disciplined.
The idea of meek in the Bible is "a spirited and powerful horse under the influence of the bridle."
Listening to Jordan is more satisfying than a warm nourishing meal on a cold winter’s night. I could listen to him for the rest of my life and it still wouldn’t be enough. He makes me hungry for knowledge and understanding like no one else I know. What a blessing to us he is!
That's very high praise. I'm sure he'd get verklempt hearing that. Cheers.
Amen sister, he is truly speaking so much truth in humility and in his experts linguistic skills yet enough to capture all walks of life. It is soul satisfying
I know where I'd like to be on a cold winters night,

@kissing Bandit or they are too big to succeed, as soon as a huge corporation starts controlling how people think, people get very uncomfortable with it.
The pressures this man face, from the extreme left and even from the responsibility he seems to have accepted from us to be the hero, the father who could help us survive the present chaos... it seems like he is overworked, overstrained. Could we not insist that he takes a vacation. A real one. (vote up if you agree)
taking maximum amount of responsibility = working yourself to death. which is why i have a problem with this particular opinion of his
In one lecture I heard him say that a cancer diagnosis is not depression, and cannot be treated with antidepressants because a person's life has fallen apart and that's just something you have to go through it's not exactly depression.. His wife gets diagnosed with cancer, and he checked himself into rehab for antidepressant withdrawal.. Maybe the only time I've ever wondered about Peterson.. He can't go being a hypocrite at this point.. He needs a vacation, sort himself out yet again, and come back with something new to teach us. I absolutely love the man, but I've heard everything he has to say 20 times over at this point.. He's being put through something to learn from it so that he can share it.. His wife having cancer is the ultimate dragon, and it's hiding the Supreme glossolalia..
@@sgtpepper91 I believe taking the maximum amount of responsibility also means taking responsibility for your own well being and making sure you get the rest and recuperation you need.
Your mind is a rare pleasure.
Care for it with grace & equanimity
Sir.
This comment didn't age well.
It's been 8 months since I stopped smoking Cannabis, and it was this specific lecture and the question of what you should sacrifice- that which is most valuable to you corrently that's stopping you- that made me finally decide to quit for good, throw away everything I owned that was related and burned all the flowers I had. It felt as if the cannabis was in control and not me, like a tyrant.
Thank you Dr Peterson for opening my eyes and encourage me to tell the truth, for without you this would not have happened, and I would have been in a bad place right now. Best decision I ever made and all through the wisdom and faith you preach. my life has gotten so much better since.
I live in Israel and came back to this series of lectures to find some peace and courage in the tought times we go through now, war is not easy but with the faith I got from this I feel like I found God and can go grow out of it into a better man.
I am eternaly grateful for your wisdom
I hope anyone who reads this will find God and walk with him, and spread his love everywhere
And may we all live in peace
Amen

"If you stand still you fall backwards" such a good quote

You could of course take this task of archiving these lectures yourself, ( as opposed to “someone else”) - it’s called taking responsibility for something…..just saying.
My father Michael, my brothers John and Benjamin, and myself Joshua. And to think society fooled me into believing God wasn't real. I lived in hell for it, when I found Jordan he put things in such a way that allowed me to save my father from the belly of the whale. I despised my father in my addiction, now I am 26 and have 9 months sober I hold him in the highest regard. I think that helped free me from my slavery. You have helped me so much I am tearing up right now. Thank you so much.
God bless you ❤

47:27 Favorite segment. Going into the unknown, wishing upon a star, consciousness, and achieving one's ultimate destiny
51:50 "Your aim should be at something that fills you with awe....why would you aim for something else?"
54:27 Favorite quote out of this lecture. The universe works through us not for us.
59:49 "The willingness to be a fool is a precursor to transformation"
1:02:16 Trust in the journey, we never arrive, our efforts arent wasted, just dont be in stasis
1:09:18 Abraham departs
1:28:00 Sacrifice to the aim.
1:35:05 Crosses. The transformation takes place at the center
1:37:40 Being unified in mind and spirit
1:39:47 Taking a balanced approach. Yin and Yang. Buddhism. Walking the middle path. Not too far left or too far right.
1:45:06 The meek shall inherit the Earth
1:45:45 "Those who have weapons and know how to use them but still keep them sheathed....will inherit the Earth". Another great quote
1:47:13 Abraham's vow to God. He didnt want to taint his intention of doing the right thing by getting compensated with riches.
"He refuses to benefit from it except to get back what was rightfully his, and in that way he maintains his covenant with God."
1:51:54 The worse punishment is to sit on the fence, "being in stasis", KNOWING good and evil but doing nothing about it.
1:52:22 Bargaining with fate. What it means to comit.
1:52:54 Another great quote. There are certain truths that must be learned from experience rather than simply reading about it.
1:53:07 The process of sacrifice
1:54:17 The ultimate lesson from the story of Abraham. He is willing to make any sacrifice to keep his covenant with God in tact. So everything Abraham did was "counted for righteousness" because he had pure intentions with his actions.
2:00:07 Closing summary
heroe sin capa , gracias
Many thanks for this.
Thanks
Beautifully illustrated
How much time do you have on your hands? Haha but seriously thank you kindly, that was very generous of you. Only wish Dr. JP had a few (more) people running his social media accounts so stuff like this could be pinned.

This is the series that lead me to Orthodxy. I sit in a dark time in while stationed in Europe. My unit in Italy is the QRF for the middle east and north Africa. I don't want to go to war. I don't want to kill anyone. Lord Jesus Christ, lead us out of these time. Lead us to Peace, and Love for our fellow man. May we enter the two-thousandth and twenty-fourth year of our Lord with peace and love. With understanding for our fellow man, and love for our neighbors.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Amen.

So this idea that God is stepping back and the characters in the Bible are stepping forward and becoming more detailed is really interesting. He said, "I'm not sure what means." I think it has to do with the fulfillment of each of those characters in Christ. Christ is the new Adam, Moses, Noah, David, etc. And just as God seems to step out of the picture he actually steps right into the human condition. "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us."
mike bustamante I was thinking about this too. I was thinking that it’s almost like we humans were governed by god entirely at the beginning of our awakening into consciousness, and the reason that god seems to step back is maybe because we are becoming more aware and in control of that consciousness to the point that one day we become god. Or something.

What you just stated is the core of Mormon theology. God sets the stage for our growth so that day by day through our integrating grace with our fallen state we become more like He is.
@@moroniflake8724 The Mormon theology, or its founder, Joseph Smith, was explained on South Park. Even though South Park isn't meant to be taken seriously, it's probably facts mixed in with their version of humor.
@@Joxn041690 As parents we hover over our children and do not let them out of our sight...we teach them to become independent while protecting and guiding them.

As pastor for 25 years I would guess God is doing a work in and through him. YOU are the light of the world.
I am listening to the series for the 4th time in 2 years now, and every time enormous new and deep layers come out from his stories, it's brilliant.
I think I’ve watched it 10 times minimum.
Same here, i didnt get all what he said the first time
Im in my 1st run of the series & can't stop too ❤❤🙏🙏 He is a Choosen one to inspire us 😍😍
I've heard life being described as an upward spiral. Each time your situation seems the same, it is not. You are older and have had more experiences so your ability to interact with the situation is better.
Food for thought.
I finally understand why people keep posting "cleaning my room"

I’m watching the series chronologically and this has been the most forceful, most insightful and irrepressibly challenging. Man, this brother carries the truth.
Amen to that Chris. Amazingly deep stuff....
Agreed. It's paradigm shifting
I love how he acknowledges at the end that he's tired and should stop. and does.
just learned another thing from JBP.
I don’t know what to say other than “Thank You for being the good force in the world” in my lifetime.
You released something for free(!) years ago and 5 years later, Especially at the current era of my life, Your existence helped me to once again find the roots of my lost alliance with divinity that I’ve been searching to find it again for the last two years of my life.
The story of Abraham… the constant bless and bliss. The answer I’ve been looking for! If you’re walking with god, that’s the price you have to pay! The cycle of being blessed and almost immediately facing a new crisis to solve… it’s not over cause it’s not supposed to be over as long as you want to be the true son of god…
I saw this live last week and my life was made
These lectures are pure, solid gold and I will cherish them for as long as I can.
Please share them too!
Keep it up Dr. Peterson. most of us love you.
That is one of the greatest, and heartwarming lectures that I've ever seen in my life, which brought me into Christianity again.
God bless you Jordan Peterson, you've helped me reignite my curiosity in faith.
''The gap between your foolishness and the punishment is lengthened by your unearned wealth and so u never grow up and learn'' 35:10
huh...man...what a line!
Great lecture as always,im very grateful!
This is truly my favorite lecture in the Biblical Series. When life gets dark and meaningless, this is what I listen to.
Watching these lectures is probably the most productive thing I've ever done while eating and I look forward to the next one.
Thanks Jordan..I am in a better place in life because of your lectures..Your work and contribution to society won't be forgotten..
I have been waiting 50 years to hear someone like you to analyse, some of the most pertinent parts of the bible, the stories in this series from a psychological context.
Thank you 💕
Congratulations to the 600,000 people (+/-) who, presumably, have watched everything through to this point! Fantastic lectures. Society NEEDS (more) men like Jordan Peterson right now.
It is incredible how this man has been doong this for years, im grateful to him because when i was at my lowest with a poorly pad job, depressed i watched a video of him talking to his students in class about many things, that video strike me so much that i continued watching videos of him, it gave me that little push to get things in order, now im still depressed (because i have a serotonin problem i suppose, i have dysthymia) but i got a lot of things in order and that helped me to get what i dreamed a good job a good wife, thank God for the life of this man
I've never EVERY been this excited about going to church.
This doesnt mean you have to go to Church hahaha.
Lmao 😂
Of all Dr. Peterson's lectures I've watched, this one is the most inspiring and energizing. Chills.
Never have I been so absorbed into a video... This is the voice of a man that everyone on this planet needs to listen to
Watching Dr.Peterson give a lecture is watching the manifestation of the conflicts of a “soul” grapple with the “consciousness” inside each of us. He should be a case study simply because he has an honest critique of his own beliefs in a public forum. The humility of having that conversation openly is worth the time, regardless of how you feel about thecontent. The bravery to ask the question and then give an honest answer is noble and worthwhile.
This of all the biblical series is such a powerful and inspirational lecture. I feel like anyone in their early twenties who is struggling to find their path in life needs to watch this video.
He is absolutely ON FIRE here. Always good, but this is him at his best. 50 hours of thinking here for me to begin to unpack what is presented in an ALREADY DIGESTED manner.
“You have an obligation, it’s one of the highest moral obligations, to treat yourself as if you are a creature of value…” I started reading and listening to your works Dr Peterson for about 5 years now and still revisit them and I will forever be grateful for your existence and your impact on my life. peace be with you.
F*ck, I love this guy's emotional intensity & fierce intellectual prowess! Where the hell else can you find someone like this? What a gift to the world JBP is!
Wow the commentary that he just dug up on what the word meek means is a huge game changer.
glad to see you have access to your account back - seems like someone at Google was meddling!
TheBushWookiee was there a problem?

TheBushWookiee thanks for the quick reply and link! I'm happy things got sorted enough for him to operate again.
Payback for 4chan's takedown of the CNN app, I guess? I wouldn't be surpised, tbh.
Am I the only one who finds it damn near impossible to take notes when watching Peterson’s live presentations? The amount of knowledge and wisdom is so dense that I simply cannot keep up without pausing every 30 seconds. I’ve watched this particular presentation well over twenty times through and am still wishing I had 5 more hands to write with lol. Words cannot express how much gratitude I have for Mr. Peterson. I truly do not know where I would be if it not for him and his work. Prayers for his continued good health and content, the world needs this man.
A lucid and nuanced psychoanalysis of Mankind's greatest work of literature. Excellent, Dr. Peterson.
Thank you.
God has sent this man to us. Thank God for Dr Peterson. bless Dr Peterson and his fam
Yes! Yes! Yes! God did send Dr Peterson to us!!! May He protect dr Peterson & his family.
I'm a complicated man, I don't see a JBP video in my feed, I don't click.
Jordan Peterson exudes a genuineness about the search for the important and practical truths, notions that help people. He is not parading his ideas and ambitions for self-aggrandizement like so many very smart people do, and they do it to the detriment of people. Thank you, JP, for being a force for good.
I get emotional when he breaks up ... it's so lovely when he shows his vulnerability ... In a world of ego maniacal masks .... it's so very touching for me to see a man "being" vs. "acting"
He does genuinely care
Uh oh, there goes another 2.5 hours of my day.
More like 3 or even 4 hours. Depending on how many times you have to stop to take in the brilliant thing he just articulated.
Watch at 2x speed if you can muster it
I have nothing better to do tbh
Antonio Lewis 2x speed?! is your iq 300?!
I can't make it thru an entire video anymore, I cant take him seriously anymore
Thank you for addressing the "meek will inherit the earth" line. I've wrestled with this for years and cried tears of joy for my new and proper understanding.
Its amazing how something that may seem so small and trivial can conjure such emotion. I felt the same way when he explained it but prior to that I had never pondered that phrase too deeply.
Someone quote the time here, please.
I am a coffee roaster, daily inspired by this man. Here are some thoughts on coffee.
Some words about a cup of coffee.
This is the best cup of coffee I can make.
In Novi,
In St. Martin,
In Columbus,
I tasted a cup of coffee that was different,
that was excellence manifest in a drink.
So I pursued the mythical beast
The holy grail
Elixir of the gods.
Got the alchemy correct
Put it in a glass jar
A mason jar.
Just so you are aware, dear customer
if you find me on a corner, busking.
This cup requires a small sacrifice.
Not of trivial things,
But a brief moment of your time.
So slow down.
Breathe.
Inhale this pleasing aroma.
I do it for you
And for God.
May it be acceptable in your site...

Guyan Sloane the key word is "father of nations" not "nation" as Peterson is emphasizing.. prophet Abraham is the father of both Isaac & Ismael.
One more thing to add: How come the believers that Jesus was an imposter "the Jews" have a similar historical view to those who believe God walked among us "Christians"???
The right is creating it's own version of the white man's character ideology just like the left has. Good luck with the ideological wars to come
Excuse me good sir but I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.
First off, do you think I am so stupid as to actually think the same thing is happening to Abraham as Dr. Peterson? Obviously not.
And second I really have no idea what you are talking about in your second point, I made no comments about Jews or Christians or anything. Just stated a small connection I saw, that as Dr Peterson is trying to educate people on what he believes to be true and right so his support grows and he has massively stepped out of his comfort zone... and this similar to Abraham.
So honestly I do not know what you are on about, if you have an ax to grind maybe try and grind it on a relevant comment, especially since you do not even know what my views are.
Listen... I love JP as much as the next guy, but the parallel isn’t there at all. Don’t make it more than it has to be.
'Listen' it was a lighthearted observation. I know the connections are not large but I did see a small one. you can disagree but please do not write 'listen' at the beginning of your post as if I am some child who needs to learn a lesson from papa Wombat.
Oh Man…I’m 61 and have read the Bible on/off over the years and never thought past the words…Dr. Peterson added meaning to the words and gave us so much to think about. Many thanks…
23:50 - 27:30 ish
When I first saw a short clip containing this part of the lecture, I had to replay it several times because I wasn't sure why Dr. Peterson got emotional. Then, when I think I finally understood, something clicked and I broke down.
I *THINK* I understand why you do what you do, Dr. Peterson. You have a sincere, fundamental, almost archaic love and concern for the well-being of fellow man that, frankly, I didn't even know was possible for a single person to have. I thought about the lecture in which you described what you designated the meaning of your life as, and how every morning, you think to yourself, "I have 50,000,000 people to educate!"
And yes, you're definitely educating millions of people, but most of us know that you're doing more than that: you're changing lives for the better. And as a 24-year-old male in the 97th percentile for neuroticism, I can't adequately thank you enough for just the positive impact you've had on me, let alone the God-knows-how-many other people whose lives you've touched.
I'm so far from where I know I can be, but that's okay. You've pointed me in the right direction. I'm not even at the point where I can clean my damn room. I need to start even smaller than that. But that's okay too, because at least I have a more refined idea of where to start sorting myself out.
On behalf of millions of broken young men out there
Thank you.
I'd like to say that the camera man or video crew (and lighting people/person) is doing a very good job for these. It looks great, and I'm loving it. The lighting is very dramatic, as expected of professionals! I generally don't even watch these, but every time I look over it's just gorgeous, and I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to the aesthetic.
Wisdom is the correct application of Knowledge.
Meekness the correct application of Power
Loved this lecture Dr Peterson!
I am a 54 year old man and I have listened to each lecture in order so far... I can feel my brain expanding on two fronts, theologically and psychologically ....well thoght out and very well articulated...
I am 53, and I'm finding myself cleaning my room every couple of days... And it is making all the difference. Thank you, Dr. Perterson.
I absolutely adored this particular version. It breaks my heart that my son passed away without ever hearing your lectures. It would have made his suffering so much more bearable.
I am so sorry for your loss 🙏❤️
There is something about hearing truth spoken from a truly good person. Its profound and life changing. Jordan Peterson is bringing Christianity back into people's minds after such a long time of atheists belittling and mocking it. What a wonderful thing. Thank you Jordan Peterson. You're doing more for our youth than anybody can fully understand.
My best lecture of all time
Clean up your room got me
Thank u Dr JP for teaching me how to listen it has changed my life
Folks, we need to recognize this is a genuinely, purely, good man. I thank God for JB, we need him as a light through our current modern darkness. I truly love this man in so many ways, he validates many things I’ve thought and experienced. My Mother told me to clean my room as a boy in the sixties, I listened. I can listen to JB all day long, but then I get nothing done that day, so a couple hours a day is good. Thank you Jordan for your efforts, may God bless you and your family always. KUDOS man !
Dr. Peterson you are such a real vulnerable yet incredibly brave and decent person. Thank you for speaking up !

The real MVP
in a way I guess he might have stopped the king from sinning further, presuming if he knew definitively that his wife would otherwise be stolen outright.. I don't know
Abraham decision to lie to the pharaoh was a sin and should have trusted god. If abraham would have told the pharaoh the truth, the pharaoh would have let him go and not touched Sarah. It goes to show a white lie can hurt everyone involed.
Cool. Thanks 👍 timestamps!

Jordan,
I’m so glad that I’ve found your work when I did. My life has been a rollercoaster this past year and so many things have gone wrong but also many have gone right. So you can imagine the internal conflict going on. Each day I feel myself getting closer to my goals in all aspects but I still struggle with my inner demons that want to drag me back down. I purchased your most recent book and since only reading a few chapters there are things that I have just never thought of before that are now flowing around in my consciousness. These lectures have given me a place to think and contemplate life like never before and I can’t thank you enough for that. I listen to them while at work and they inspire me so much. I’ve even picked out quite a few books off of your recommendation list to either buy and ask for on Christmas from family and friends. Your work is truly amazing and has not only helped me but so many like me.
"I've watched people who've put themselves together across time, you know, incrementally and continually, and they've become capable of things that are not only jaw-droppingly amazing but also sometimes metaphysically impossible to understand - and so we don't know the limits of human endeavour, we truly don't. And it's premature to put a cap on what it is that we're cabaple of."
I wonder what things he has seen people do that are metaphysically impossible to understand.
You can flourish and thrive in the inevitable chaotic flood. A flood that will certainly come, if you prepare for it properly by living forthrightly. Such a powerful message about responsibility I teared up a little bit
Every word from this man commands authority in a way that is simply transformative.
You never know what you have....
until you clean your room. Then ascend the set of all possible dominance hierachies.
The part when he says “pick up the heaviest thing you can and carry it” happened right when I was doing a shoulder press with my heaviest dumbbell. Made me choke up a little after my set. Great man, and I love how the lessons in scripture reflect in our lives continually.
God is certainly Extremely good
How do you get that from anything or any of this?
@@aFoxyFox. Think about God as a vector towards the right thing to do (for one person or a people). Benevolence is possible in an abstract state
@@stephen200005945 I'd very much like to hear a lot more of your interesting ideas here or via my email at theartismagistra@gmail.com and your ideas are very welcome here as well:

Jordan doesn't give lectures, he gives sermons. Preach on!
His section on wishing on a star to move yourself forward imperfectly is the single most motivating speech I’ve ever heard. The clear and urgent way he lays it out was instrumental in moving me out of apathy and indecision. What he’s saying here is so crucial. I am infinitely indebted to him and his gift of eloquence and genuine care he exhibits in the way he crafts his words. Truly helping create order out of chaos. Please get well soon Dr. Peterson.
I love this man's passion and combination of brilliant, careful thinking and strong emotion. This is such a rare combination, especially in a man in today's culture and it's changing my life (not hyperbole). Thank you, Dr. Peterson.
There are so many gems in these lectures. I can affirm that it's very important to make a bad first draft, this also goes for artworks and music. Because as soon as you have a sketch, a first recording, even if it's bad, then you can go on from that and build something that's better. And sometimes you make genius mistakes and you're amazed about how you came to a thought or a structure that was so good to begin with.
Abraham is a different hero than usual. the typical hero is a young mail with no familial responsebility. jason, hercules, st. john and even jesus christ are like that. Abraham is the head of a household, the cheif of a tribe with herds and many people under his responsibility.
It is special. And his problems are therefore more "real" and more relevant to real mature men.
Damn this is interesting. Why is it that the hero archetype usually has no familial responsibility?
@@matthewholmes2008 they are on "the start" of their journey. In abrahams case it's about that the journey is kinda never ending.
@@thelobsterking1055 Thanks for the reply!
I sincerely believe you were born to do this Dr. Peterson. Continue them and your healing will follow. Please restart them! Lord strengthen you.
People wondering about his 3 microphones; the sound engineer is a god. Here are the layers of their genius. They're using three different types of mic to better capture the different frequencies, placed strategically to pick up the angles Jordans projecting from (which sounds very different at different angles. Try listening to someone talk when you're to their side, underneath, or in front of them) and also, to produce something called "stereo" to make those in the room feel like Jordan's across from a dinner table as apposed to 50 feet away, AND to make the viewer feel like they're in the same room. I can't imagine anyone there, if asked, would not notice how amazing the sound quality actually was after bringing it up.
Also, no doubt the mics underneath are set to add more depth to his contemplation when he bows his head and speaks quieter, as his for front has more mid end for when he goes on his more powerful and direct speeches.
good analysis, I never noticed that...
Comparing the story of Pinocchio and Abrahm's adventures blew my mind. These lectures have already completely changed my perspective on life. Thanks Dr. Peterson.
He has returned to give us wisdom much like a mountain sage
There is so much emotion in his voice in this lecture
If you have read about his past then you can see some of the personal reasons why mixed with the general power behind the statements.
@@Jair2435 fill us in, ive only heard brief descriptors of hardships
@@mathewgladden8914
Well as a young child JP rejected the biblical stories his mother was fond of. As an intellectual, like many others, JP blew it off as nonsense because it wasn’t making logical sense. He was a socialist as he grew, even holding a position in a movement for socialist practice. As his reading continued and i think it was gulag archipelago that kinda broke him first. Socialism was not better than capitalism, in fact it caused even more death and suffering. This realization led to despair, a portal to personal hell. Feeling like a fake, a fraud, this is when JPs “inner voice” manifested itself. He would regurgitate the socialist talking points but he would hear in his head “thats not true” “you don’t believe that” “THATS A LIE”
Depression wracked him. Im assuming anxiety as well. Thats when he decided he wouldn’t say anything he did not believe was true anymore. I wouldn’t say he magically transformed overnight but doing that is what allowed him to claw his way out of hell and begin to form the process of thought that led him down the path he is on now.
One of his closest friends committed suicide after living with JP and JP trying to help him. He saw what happens when despair swallows you whole and you fail or cant climb out of it.
This is only the start. Many more hardships of life that we all experience in our own way comes along. The book is called Savage Messiah by Jim Proser.
Its a good read. Very good. JP occasionally talks about these topics in differing lectures or answers to questions but to have it written out somewhat chronologically is nice.
@@Jair2435 thanks, yes I’d heard mentions of it all across my listenings but never had it broken out like that. Love JP man, he’s a heavyweight for certain
The tears well when I listen to JP! Tears of understanding, love and joy! God bless JP and his family!
