Jordan, this is probably gonna get lost in the comments; I must iterate that you saved me from taking my own life and I have a profound respect for you. I hope to have the chance to speak with you one day.
I can't wait to tell him thank you.
Good worl sir
Yeah Jordan works for us and has been that one person who tells us the things we needed to hear but never did.
Shikhar Srivastava love this
Yes,! keep watching and learning.

Humour is an extremely powerful tool to make an audience more receptive to your point. That's why George Carlin was so effective and was able to make people consider things they might have otherwise dismissed out of hand. JP understands this very well.
Why I am so grateful for him.

This channel is underrated. These daily shorter clips are very valuable.
you are beautiful
Yeah I remember taking pills for depression. That's sort of like that, just better and more intellectually demanding but at the same time more intellectually stimulating.
@@MrGreenAKAguci00 Not to mention cheaper, at least from a monetary perspective, much more taxing or expensive from a responsibility standpoint. It pulls me back to the conclusions I made when I overcame my depression, that you cant leave the feedback loop that is self destructive and depressing behavior without moving the self. Its not a short coarse but the effects have been longer lasting when compared to any prescription I was ever given. Their are things that no other person can do for you.
That’s true, moreover you too are making great content. Keep up the good work.
"this channel is underrated" is becoming the most common comment I see on youtube. Which if is to be taken literally, creates kinda a paradox here.
Wow! You can tell a lot about a man's character by how much truth he can take!
The tricky thing is who gets to say what’s true?
Yea that was an awesome statement. I think it's a constant battle not to turn your gaze away from the ugly truth. But, as Dr. Peterson said, it's better than the alternative.
@@lifewasgiventous1614
Dont take things at face value.
DYOR and don't trust Socialists, Democrats and Communists.
@@lifewasgiventous1614 I think one of his points was we each need to honestly determine that for ourselves - that we have an inner utility designed to guide us in the proper direction.
I think where people run into trouble is when they are not honest with themselves. That can become easier and easier over time until we have chosen dishonestly so often that we can convince ourselves that any action, no matter how horrible, can be justified.
And, apparently, it can happen pretty fast, according to the book he mentioned about the German police going to Poland.
To say Peterson is well-read is an understatement. He has relied on, over time, his own inner compass to pull out of his readings the things that seem true to him.
It can take a lifetime.
Until then, just stay out of prison. Johnny law and the system won't hesitate to let you know what they think is true.
@@lifewasgiventous1614 I think he is meaning how much truth you can say to yourself. It is not about truth coming from others but from the botom of your heart
Peterson: *reads a joke tweet
Nietzsche said...
I saw that too.
I've found there is an inverse square relationship between the mundanity of the context in which JP is asked a question and the profoundness of the response.
By my calculations, the universe will explode if someone ever tells him a bad fart joke...
@@simeonb3726 came here for the comments, was not disappointed!
@Al Garnier In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
Certain jokes hide certain points of view. Not all jokes are just jokes for the hell of it. As somebody from this generation, you should know that.
I don’t agree with everything Peterson says. But no one should.
I watch him because the way he speaks is like he is constantly thinking out loud and trying to organize his thoughts to speech in a careful manner. Like a direct path to his thoughts.
There is a deep honesty in the way the man speaks that I think isn’t very common anymore. It’s the reason I think a lot of people are drawn to him and why he seems to do so well in debate. There isn’t anything hidden behind what he says, no sugar coated ulterior motives ever so present in discussion these days.
I think most of his conclusions are close to the mark, and it’s worth considering his ideas.
He demonstrates an authenticity most people would love to emulate but are too stuck in their fears and false beliefs to do so.
Definitely, every human should strive for his level of authenticity and his ideas aren't so bad either.
If you speak from the truth and slowly that will help.
Icantspellll I wonder what are the things you do not agree?
John Nastrom radical left wingers? Buddy I’m a conservative from Alberta Canada. How the hell did you make an assumption on my political leanings from my post. I’m center right if thinking from a American political view.
"You cannot manifest who you are, without the thruth" - just flies out of his mouth like it was nothing. And in reality, it's a great quote.
Agreed. He says he is an exponent of free speech, he gets political and names names, yet he refuses to say anything about the persecution of Julian Assange and whistle blowers. I find this strange.
I believe that Jordan Peterson has become one of the greatest thinkers of our time. Uncompromising in his own self analysis in pursuit of basic human truths that are applicable to all.
Quit impressive... a scienentist that tends to close the gap between science en the ‘religious’ truth. A bridge builder.

freeclimb well said
I believe you haven't understand the guy either, eh
@@villiestephanov984 I understand him very well.
Or maybe the majority are so stupid that he just seems that much more intelligent... 🙄🤣
You can tell Jordan speaks not only from his knowledge or intellect but from his heart and does so with passion.
Agreed. Anyone claiming otherwise is blind and lost in their own darkness.
Men of pure reason are necessarily men of violence, we speak of touching a mans heart, but we can do nothing to his head but hit it~~G.K Chesterton
The actual quote is: “The strength of a person's spirit would then be measured by how much 'truth' he could tolerate, or more precisely, to what extent he needs to have it diluted, disguised, sweetened, muted, falsified.”
Which is even more profound.
which book is that from? Considering you knew the whole thing im assuming you've read it.
Nick MaGrick Beyond Good and Evil
Well the quote is originally from Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Beyond Good and Evil.
No is not hehehehe
F-ck off
I love how he's not just regurgitating facts and things other people have learned,. he is exploring and thinking through the his ideas on stage in real time.. so his ideas are in a state of constant flux as he speaks and tries to further his hypothesis it is incredible to watch
Yeah and he also esentialy invites you to critique these ideas. He shows what he came up with but if someone else's hypothesis seems better he will consider it. It was nicely visible during the debate he had about political correctness where he started with his take on that but after Stephen Fry spoke Peterson aligned himself with Fry because it looked like his take was just more fitting. I have huge admiration for him because of that. That's leadership, he shows that his approach is one of the correct ones by actively living it out and proving that it works, even though mistakes happen on the way. Best kind of motivation if you ask me.
Yeah he really does this. I saw him live in Manchester and during the q and a he just entered a deep thought state and was talking his thoughts out loud. It was so inspired. A magical moment where you realised you were in the presence of a great thinker. Dave Rubin closed the computer, the audience went completely silent - you could hear a pin drop. He started empathising with the theoretical person he was talking about and you could hear the pain in his voice and you could see people in the audience in awe and start crying. And then he finished and there was nothing more to say and he got a massive applause at the end and Dave ended the q and a because you couldn't really follow that.
He does this as a way of sharpening his ideas and focus for his next book.
That's the magic of Dr Jordan
It really is... like watching an elite athlete do the things elite athletes do. His ability to verbalize thoughts that are deep yet penetrate all the way up to the shallow "waters" is not only a treat to watch but it is motivating. Very moving in a literal sense (mentally/spiritually).
When you think your done, Jordan reminds you you've only just started.
The higher you climb the broader your view becomes and the more you see that you do not know.... In my profession as a simple Carpenter, I used to joke," it took me 10 years to learn I knew nothing about Carpentry and another 10 to realize I really really knew nothing about Carpentry"...The more you learn, the more you realize you NEED to learn...there is no end, you can ALWAYS learn more, become better
Scott Carter as Plato said I know nothing.someof things I know nothing about I'm happy to leave like this, there is only so much you can achieve relative to the time you have left. What you have to do is walk the best path you can each day. Sometimes it means sticking your neck out. It's what makes you into a man.
The apostle Paul took a similar stance on having not yet arrived.
Definitely well said 👏

Jordan must feel like a sober guy at a party full of drunkards.
Worse... He's the only hairless ape that has risen, unshackled, off the cave floor where the rest of us lay prostrate, imprisoned and benighted.
It's lonely at the top, even if you're just the only one standing erect.

Well Dave, what do you mean by "wish" and what do you mean by "young"? 'Wishing' offers nothing, and 'young' is relative. So, are these excuses for doing nothing NOW? If so, your life is lost to inaction, and waiting to die!

The greatest journey is inward.
Naah, Disney land is pretty cool
The greatest journey is the journey into a relationship with God. Crazy, beautiful, sobering, full of awe.
me: be 2 years old
search through cupboards, find no snacks, everything empty
I suddenly feel empty, feel sad, feel hungry
start to panic, ruminate on thoughts and images but I can't put words to them with my kid mind
think about myself, think about others
feel tightening in my chest, I crawl to the underside of the bed in the room.
tightness gets stronger, notice my thoughts race as I rub against the floor to my destination
search deep inside myself, *hey I found my pepe*
the story of my greatest journey
IN 40 YEARS OF INCESSANT SEARCHING, I HAVE NEVER FOUND ONE WHO MORE EFFECTIVELY FACILITATES THE CONVEYANCE OF TRUTH OR A CAPACITY FOR ONE TO UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES SO INSIGHTFULLY AS JORDAN..
History will remember this guy as one of the most amazing and inspiring people that have ever lived. At least I hope so.
one minute you're reading a joke question, the next you are imagining yourself a Nazi guard in Auschwitz.
I'm not the smartest person I'm not dumb but I didn't go to college I'm a construction worker. but the way he explains things it's easy to follow I can float on the surface and I understand the greater context of what he's talking about,. he makes it easy but I would imagine there's deeper and deeper layers that I'm not even seeing yet and it makes me want to learn "stuff" so I can dig deeper into his ideas.
if you ever get lost in what he saying watch his hands it helps
Good on you for desiring to be more knowledgeable and thoughtful ... As much as "An unexamined life is not worth living." is true you have made a life worth living for yourself to be (more) true...
It doesn't matter if you didn't go to college. You're pretty smart if you're spending your leisure time listening to this kind of sruff, thinking critically about it
College is a poor indicator of wisdom
I'm 69. I've earned a living through manual labour all my life, mostly construction and farming;
still doing real work every day.
All that time I've been thinking.
It is the great shame of the modern "Left" that they disparage this man.
We have a saying down here that the Labour Party used to comprise the CREAM of the working class, and it now is comprised of the DREGS of the middle class..
That may be harsh but I suspect it's true .
Never stop searching for truth.
All it takes is a spark to start a fire.. and JP is a fire starting maniac. I've seen this clip 4 or 5 times and I always come away with more understanding than the previous times watching. He invites all of us to look for that spark within us by honestly sharing/relating the truth that he has come to know (his spark) and asking us to honestly wrestle with the thoughts intellectually. The Truth is Truth from the surface down to the bottom of the abyss.
Jordan has done some serious soul searching. I love this man so much!
I have loved 5 years in an English speaking country, since 3months I started to watch him, my English has dramatically sounded smart and very articulated!
I find him an inclusive man !
Hello. Watch the movie "Pulp Fiction" for the best examples of American style english and grammer.

Jordan Petersen calms down alot of the stresses that build up in my head. Not specifically for his views, but because it's immensely reassuring to hear his skilled measured and logical discussions (slash arguments).
These days when people have had their lives destroyed (unfairly) on media, and all the bullshit that we all KNOW is bullshit, but it's all tied up in a tornado of opinions and dialogue, it scares and frustrates me sometimes.
And JP comes in and CRUSHES it, and I can relax more cos I know that not everyone at the wheel is drunk.
Only Peterson can read a joke tweet and profoundly find a link to Nietzsche xD
Yeah,- argument from authority - one of his go-to fallacious arguments.
@@prophetsnake you're a horrible troll. Pay the troll toll
prophetsnake How is he arguing from authority? He is more or so just making a connection to Nietzsche and drawing from one of his ideas. You are just nitpicking here.
@@prophetsnake applying your logic, noone would be able to quote anyone. Think again please.
prophetsnake you don’t seem to have a grasp on what an argument actually is. I’d love to see you define it.
Jordan Peterson is our new "Atlas", carryng a lot of weigth in his personal and public life, his powerful speechs brought light to the dark of our time; and, for who follow him in social media, known that his personal life has hard strugles too, and I'm sure that's not easy let all worries in home,so, May God bless you and your family!
Everytime I listen to him, it’s profound. Jordan Peterson is a gift from
God. I learn so much about myself when I listen to him.
Every single person is a gift from God. Some may be to teach what to do, some may be to teach what not to do, some will be friends, some acquaintances, some just passers-by, all just as important as you.

I feel the same.
I really do.
Beautifully said, as always! Burning off chunks of deadwood, false parts of ourselves/life, to make way for a healthy, living tree, Truth, is painful but necessary. I hope to continue this process forever
Hey Jordan, I'm also an Albertan, and have followed your videos for quite awhile.
I do so appreciate your years of extensive study and research into the most complex subject there is- human beings.
I pretty well consider you my Svengali, though I'm 64 and long in the tooth, i find it soul refreshing to listen to your lectures and thoughts.
Keep up this GREAT work of your's please...It is such an inspiration for me- and I'm sure many others as well.
Reconnecting with my brother has given me a new insight into the way you conduct your life.

Jeremiah 17:9. "The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked, who can know it."

@@nickmagrick7702 because of sin
@@magdalenasalas9467 okay, why is that sin there, whats causing it.
@@nickmagrick7702 *If you really want to know, I recommend reading The Bible KJV (There is even a free app). You won't understand sin and it's nature properly without reading the Bible itself, it will just breed more questions while trying to seek the truth, I recommend the King James Version(KJV) Bible, simply because it is the easiest to understand for people who has never read the Bible. After that you can watch Jordan Peterson's bible series lectures.*
Hope it helps.
@@factsjusticetruth8752 "You won't understand sin and it's nature properly without reading the Bible"
Thats so completely wrong it makes me question everything else your going to say. I understood sin WELL before I read the bible.
I actually re-read through the whole thing about 2 years ago ... no 3 years ago. Trying to discover the purpose and meaning of the bible, and if it was just a bad destructive thing why would it continue to exist. I ended up learning quite a bit when I also learned not to take the interpretations of the bible literally. They are profound metaphor, most of it.
Of the many JP videos I have watched so far, this is definitely one of my favorite. He talks here about burning parts of yourself that are dead as a vital step in the transformation process to become who you could be. I am right now in that process and it amazes how right he actually is about what he is saying. Being well articulated in your speech is one thing, but to be accurate in the smallest details is insane. I am blown away. Indeed I am finding out how much I actually LIE, about the painful process of letting those parts of yourself go that are not worthy, especially if it's almost your entire being that is pathological. I can very much relate to Dr Peterson. I am 27 and I have almost the same problems as he had when he was my age, like the lies for the sake of winning the argument. I have been trying to get my act together for the last 18 months or so now. It's been only one month however since I am doing it consciously. I have listened to my conscience, observed my thoughts and behaviors and identified all what needs to burn off through writing it all down. It's a LOT. And a LOT of work. And painful too. I realized I have been living a pathological life all this time. Tomorrow is the start of the second month of my transformation (18 April - 17 May). Wish me luck while in a few hours I descend into the underworld to confront the dragons. After observing and watching, it's now time to slay. ;)
Love you Dr. Jordan B. Peterson. Keep up the great work changing the life of millions of people in countless positive ways. Please return to Massachusetts USA.

The truth can be seen in ur words thank-you and may the One that is the Word bless you.R
i wish more ppl had the courage to listen to this man.
Deep Breath....... This man,... is such a gift to me and my understanding of myself. Once I get listening to him, I just keep going. Wow.... amazing. So Grateful.
This has got to be one of the most important messages I’ve seen in relation to the times we’re living in. Thank you Dr. Peterson for reminding us of what is important in the midst of chaos and confusion.
Peterson is so incredible in his way of thinking. I’m so glad he lived in a period where we can watch his internal struggle as he searches for the truth. He is honest and doesn’t claim that he is right, admits when he is wrong, but is constantly searching for the truth. Love it.
If each one of us do the right thing everyday and find the Truth through the Father, this world will be a much better one. 🌹
Jordan Peterson has an amazing way of reaching your very core with his words. The truth sounds so beautiful, and it is, but it can and will rewire who you have been, if you let it sink in. Truth; so beautiful...so terribly beautiful.
I had decided to not try to have a son because the way the left treats young men. Mr. Peterson has made me realize that I am doing the world a disservice by not putting and amazing young man into this world. I have 2 daughters and they are beyond incredible human beings. I was worried that putting a boy into this world would be setting him up to fail just based on his mere existence I now see that I was wrong. I used to fear having a son because of the left now I want to bless this world in spite of the left. I will not apologize for giving this world a strong proud compassionate caring kind masculine man.
I have 3 sons and they have done well because they had a good father and 2 parents who loved them and raised them ourselves. I was always painfully aware of society's degradation of men and I fought constantly against it. I think the effort has paid off.
In a world of weak men, a strong man will rise above much easier.
Did you abort your sons? How exactly did you decide?
how sad and tragic it is to be a mere human when we want so much more and it is that desire that drags us down.
Patrick Edgington or compels us upward.
I love listening to Jordan Peterson because he tells you things that you already know but he articulates it in such a way that he make it profound. I hear the 'voices' all the time. I know that there is the argumentative 'voice' which I came to understand, wants to make me unhappy and destroy me and there is the quiet, one word (usually), 'voice' which wants to protect me and keep me happy. I don't always listen to the quiet voice but the consequences are, without exception, always bad. I'm still learning and growing and alive. Without the full truth no problem can be completely solved. Thanks Jordan.
I've said before listening to Peterson is like having the blanket of your own ignorance removed from your thoughts .
Yeah but the truth sucks but hey, at least it's there.
“Life is a very difficult business: you know it’s fatal and it’s full of suffering and it’s full of malevolence, there’s nothing about it that’s trivial, it’s all profound and in order to find your way through all of that-you need to develop a relationship with something profound.” ❤️👍🏻thanks for the ever so quotable wisdom
I am honest to my own detriment..You're right that people will let you know their own character when they show, outwardly, just how much truth they can really cope with.
What I've learned is that IF an individual does not begin with a truth then what ever they build upon it will forever be lies.
It's an unfortunate fact but there it is.
If a person is made of more sturdy stuff then what they will do is work backwards to a truth but will realize very quickly they must change whatever they have built up in themselves on that first falsehood.
Shorter said "building castles in a sand" 😊
Well said, screenshot for contemplation
Yup. Long ago I read in a book that you could dissolve a small cloud by looking intently at it for five minutes or so. So I tried it on a day with many small clouds in a blue sky .. I noted some clouds as "controls" and picked one and gazed at it and it dissolved. Repeated the experiment four more times. And I thought DAMN now I have to rethink my whole education !!
❤️🇺🇸Thrilled Jordan and his family are healing. After all I have lost in my life, I feel it pointless now as my loops repeat. But, when I listen to Jordan speak, I am reminded I am competent, fortunate and have choices. Life is precious, it will come to a sudden stop one day. Until then, I continue earning my wisdom, appreciating my time with myself looking for others to share with. Thank you Jordan, I look up to you!❤️🇺🇸
7:59 “a priori”. I’m Italian and I’m impressed that this expression is quoted in English by JP. Btw, for anyone wondering the meaning, it means: “relating to or derived by reasoning from self-evident propositions”. I think a good synonym in English could be: “to assume” (without empirical evidences).
In the spanish language its a term used in any coloquial conversation, maybe its because of the roots of our languages, you know, latin
This great mind and soul! Thanks God for JP!
Jordan Peterson and Peter Enns are two of my favourite thinkers alive today.

This is the sort of awe that gets me to kneel. It's not what he says it's also how he says it. He's not lying.
Reminds me very much of what Adyashanti refers to as fierce grace: as the the ripping away from you of everything that is not real, not true, regardless of whether or not you’re holding onto it for dear life.
My old school motto was"Be True "and have tried to live that for 60 years. It's the most difficult path to tread and can be painful at times but worth it in the end as the rewards are priceless.
I get so much out of Dr. Peterson’s presentations. He is a very generous man to upload such a wealth of information .
For all my love of the guy, he is the kind of parent that will make a philosophy lesson out of a joke.
I can't thank this man enough, has given me a new light in my life.
God Bless Dr Peterson. In order for me to receive some small sort of fulfillment each day is to indulge in Jordon B Peterson Clips. They always start my say with inspiration. One day at a time. In my life, it's one of the few things I can ask for and seek enlightenment from. Thank you!
Jordan Peterson just made me cry right about the end (observing, understanding, realizing).
"A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can let alone."--Henry David Thoreau
Heheh "Thor"
am I too dumb...….. that sentence doesn't make sense? what does "he can let alone" mean? (genuine question)
@@slappy5204 Thoreau was all about simplifying life, that life was sweetest if lived "close to the bone". I read this quotation as indicating that few complications are worthy of a man's time and energy.
@@bobfrost8321 that makes a lot of sense.

Mike Haines I think a good translation might be something like this: “A man is rick in proportion to the number of things he decides he does not need.” Another quote of his is this: “I make myself rich by making my wants few.” The power, the wealth, is in the not wanting the stuff and things. We’re liberating from earning the money to purchase it, and we’re liberated from the maintaining of it, storing it, insuring it, managing it, keeping it, because we don’t’ have it. :-)
I am a 67-year-old woman, well-educated, middle-class, white, supposedly privileged. I discovered JBP 17 months ago. What I have learned through him - via his books, lectures, and podcasts - have changed my life. I have needed to hear his message for decades. I am forever grateful. Better later than never. My journey has only just begun.
The last 5 minutes of this is really profound. I wish everyone would listen and embrace these ideas
I am glad I came across your talks, such facts.
"There are no great men of God; only weak, pitiful men at the hands of a great and merciful God."
What we're seeing with JP is a manifestation of God's wisdom through a chosen vessel. When the world seems like it will tip over in one direction from an overwhelming amount of destructive stupidity and immorality, God declares, "Not so fast," because ultimately, the master will require an account of the stewards left in charge. JP is an indictment against the wisdom of this generation.
"He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans. He catches the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them. They meet with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night. But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, And from their hand. So the poor have hope, And injustice shuts her mouth."
Job 5:12-16

JB Peterson gives off Paul Washer vibes (to me at least)...like a more scientific version of PW.
@@peace6107 yes, nice job. Glad to see someone who knows the reference :)
Glad to have come by you brother
somehow, I don't think you could possibly lose an argument and I feel sorry for anyone that thinks you can, your clips are helping me get through, thank you
He's admitted to losing some arguments. You know he's probably killed a lot of his own ideas to get where he is today.
@@Viriyascybin ..I'm not sure if one can accurately say that they've "lost" an argument. I would consider myself as having been "persuaded" to accept the validity of my worthy opponent's arguments. There's no shame in accepting another person's viewpoint on an issue.
It's amazing watching Jordans mind unfold, breaking down everything he is saying and going deeper into his own word than most of us could jump into. Listening to him drives me to believe that not only is he teaching us whilst he unravels his thoughts infront of us, but I think in a way he is also teaching himself and has in a way took himself in as a patient that he wants to psychologically help. He has essentially became his work and that's a powerful thing, it's a form of self awareness that should be adopted more often by us as individuals.
One of the best things I’ve heard you share!! So good.
Thank you
I like when he speaks the truth!
I am only just beginning to understand by what is meant by ".... and lead us not into temptation...."
Good catch!!
Even with my very limited intelligence I can easily say Professor Peterson has wisdom far beyond his years. For everyone’s sake I dearly wish more would listen to him and learn!
i Find myself bearing deep witness to the truth he is saying. I can feel and recall exactly what he is talking about from my own experience, the truth sets you free but will burn the false away and that is dreadfully painful.
When ever I click on a JP clip, and realize I've already seen it, I watch it again.
I love how even while he is super deep in thought and discussion, he is playing with his wedding ring.
Brilliant mind but can still see where his heart is.
never lets an opportunity to teach pass him by. love it
this guy is gold. just by listening to him i want to be better, i do not have the will to do so even if my inner voice tells me to, but just because of him i wish i could be better.
“You need to develop a relationship with something that’s profound, and you can...”
Reminds me of a man who said something along the lines of “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life...”
YES, exactly!!❣
LOL@“I enrolled in university..” “Yeah well, that probably won’t work” 😂🙌👉🤗
So perfectly brutally honest. Thank you Jordan Peterson.
Thanks for sharing the painful truth with me.
The truth is the way
Dr. Peterson: I know that my God is deeply and pridefully pleased by you and your work . The way you have acknowledged and defended The Logos shows deep
respect and discernment of it's (His) power. I recognize this because I have read and believe that in the beginning The Word ( Logos) was with God and The Word was a God (Jesus) and the written and Living Word have omniscience, omnipresence and power beyond mortal comprehension please keep drilling down and sharing your knowledge because millions of followers enjoy and are edified by your message.
...and in your personal and confidential journey(ies) do not forget Job from the Scriptures. No matter how confounding or distressing the circumstances....God will get you through and Love always wins and there is eternity to work it out and bring it to realization...Job was rewarded exponentially for his obedience and faith throughout surreal trials.
You Sir are Truly Blessed. ❤️....and I humbly thank you for sharing in order to bless us.
May your sword of verbal and written Truth remain unsheathed and recognized as a guiding beacon into enlightenment forevermore.
Caprice Walker how arrogant to claim that you know what your “god” thinks
@@WaaluigiBoard tough noogie's
@@CapriceWalker this is honestly the best reply ever (no sarcasm)
I'm recently coming out of a phase where I had to burn off what wasn't me. Even though doing so has set me freer than before, the experience of that letting go itself was extremely painful. I'm still to get a full grasp of what has happened. Regardless, this experience has shaken me to my bones to the point I'm afraid to get to that point again
Thank you Jordan Peterson. You save lives. I’m one of them
*Nietsche to a guy with lot of character* : "You CAN handle the truth!"
"The truth is the way and the path of life ...I don't think you can manifest who you are without the truth. It's literally and metaphorically true. The pathway to who you could be, if you were completely who you were, is through the truth. The truth does set you free, but it destroys everything that isn't worthy in you as it sets you free. That is a process of burning. It's painful, because we cling to what we shouldn't be; partly out of pride, ignorance, or laziness." "Everything about you that isn't worthy, is to be put into the flames."
“Something has to happen to you to straighten you out” I’ve been through this in the form of a narcissistic relationship, I guess that was the universe teaching me a lesson, as if to say, pull your socks up and get real, both a blessing and a curse
Fight the good fight!
