"The degree to which you will be revivified is precisely proportionate to the degree to which you have enough faith and courage to confront the catastrophe of existence."
My mum kicked me out as a child, so i was off it years ago, lived on the streets got addicted to drugs, not just a specific drug, just drugs, now im clean working a job people usually go to university for. The only time my mum ever tries to see me is when she invites me to things where her friends are involved, called her out on it and the fact in 15 years she hasn’t come to visit me once, she’s always tried to make me do the travel when she drives and I’m not allowed to start till next year due to drug use. It doesn’t bother me at all, because I know I have people who love and care for me, i have people who give me the love my mum never gave me, it’s been like 15 years since I got hit and beat with random objects, I know now if I spoke up as a child, I would have been taken away
yeah man this call to adventure bullcrap is not quite the adventure at all... i feel like jordan just isnt focusing on the poverty stricken , trauma ridden people of the world anymore. ever since his license has been reprimanded from him . i like listening to his older stuff , this newer call to adventure bullcrap is really a pain in the arse to listen to when u come from an actual wreck of a childhood
@@brrrzrrkrr3434 I mean what the hell do I know but for the downtrodden, the "call to adventure" could be interpreted as the call to do better/move onto better. Just because you're in poverty or suffering through trauma you aren't bound to that life forever. By a little or a lot, slowly or quickly you can make changes. I applied for a job just because, worst case scenario I get some fresh interview practice. I ended up adding about 10k to my salary 🤷♀️
One time i made a fire in my yard and baked potatoes with my friend in the evening :) That memory has always stayed with us :) Adventures are not easy,but that what makes them WORTH IT.
Brilliant analysis of human need for purpose. The Apostle Paul's life is the premier example of facing adversity and overcoming obstacles to obtain the most important of goals; the spreading of the Gospel and the soon coming kingdom of God. But in each biblical storyline are nuggets for us to ruminate and digest as they all have a lesson to teach about the human condition.
I like your analogy but find St Paul to be quite a pompous “ tool “ who I find tough to read. Imagine a boss who constantly berates you , that’s Paul. Mr Peterson provokes your intellect,asks us to be better,and then speaks to our inner conscience. He allows us to make the choice to give his ideas a chance to work. An honest St Paul would agree Jordan does it better. I like your thinking though!
- The story of Abraham, as discussed in the lecture series on Genesis, portrays him as an archetypal "Failure to Launch" character, an adult living comfortably under his father's care until a transformative spirit challenges him to leave this comfort zone and embark on the adventure of life. - This spirit, symbolizing the call to adventure, encourages Abraham to move beyond comfort into a world filled with challenges and hardships. This narrative suggests that human beings are not meant for a life of mere comfort but are driven by a deeper desire for engaging with and overcoming adversity. - Abraham's journey, marked by starvation, tyranny, and personal sacrifices, highlights the brutal reality of stepping out of one's comfort zone. Despite the hardships, this path is depicted as more fulfilling because it is an authentic adventure, suggesting that true meaning in life comes from confronting and contending with life's difficulties rather than settling for comfort. - The discussion extends beyond the biblical story to critique the concept of a utopian society where all needs are met without effort. It argues that such a vision is flawed because it underestimates the human desire for adventure and the intrinsic satisfaction derived from facing and overcoming challenges. - The lecture concludes by asserting the intrinsic worth and dignity of individuals, rooted in their capacity for bravery and the willingness to face life's catastrophes. This notion underpins the value systems of successful cultures, challenging the idea that prosperity comes solely from exploitation and highlighting the importance of recognizing and respecting the human spirit's quest for meaning through adversity.
Hands down one of the most well made and quality videos in production standards for sure wow. Talk about state of the art level content ! Also Jordan looking handsome Rogan must be treating him right
Your lectures have motivated me to restore my life like jumper cables help a dead car roar to life. I understand myself so much better even though I have been in therapy for years, you have accomplished in a few weeks what others couldn't do in decades. Thank you, sir. Onward and upward.
I love these explanations and contextualisations of biblical stories. For me, it's quite fascinating timing because I became an atheist and then saw jordans exodus series released free, etc. Gave me an understanding of the stories outside of dogma as i was raised into. Even chrisitians accept that one can not become a christian just like that by being born into it. Many protestants at least require that one goes through some experience(s) or to be born again. I'm still an atheist, but I think I would like going to a church of my choosing at some future point. With a newfound understanding and cutting off of dogma.
That "sprit of god calling you out to the adventure of your life". That is LOTR in a nutshell... that is Gandalf calling Frodo and Bilbo out of the comfort of the Shire to an adventure It is a beautiful thing
Have to hand it to you Jordan. You are a breath of fresh air. You stand up for what you believe in even when you are able to lose your license. Don't worry Jordan. They think they are getting rid of you but really they are getting rid of themselves because nobody wants to get their document at a school that will simply revoke their ability to practice.
Thank you Jordan Peterson! 👼I am a fan of your videos/wisdom!🙏I appreciate your courage to express so deeply, so intimately. You remind me of a 'snake eating it's tale'... pure genius! I am so grateful that you can articulate the 'hero's journey' with such detail. It is helping me to get through the complexity of understanding the pitfalls. Bravo!
What a kind soul you come off as. Be blessed. I just listened to Gnosticism and feel the connection between different branches of spirituality. Heard of Mary's Gospel?
The obstacle is the way, says the stoics. Part of Peterson's work is to challenge those things before circumstance dictates your decision.. not an easy practice.. the path is narrow
Life really can be a hellhole but sometimes the only thing that can get you through the horror is looking it as an adventure and an opportunity to show your determination.Maybe everything matters. Praise the lord !
My life has been hell for so long. Sometimes I see glimpses of light, but they fade away rather quickly. Everything restores itself to normal pitch black hell. Sometimes I take a leap of faith seeing small random success, but usually doesn't last for long and I'm again lost in the darkness. Moving onto 13th year of spiral of suffering, as my life collapsed many years ago...
Adventures. Start with small adventures people. Visit your neighbor that you never visited before. Move your furniture around a bit. Try praying to god. These things are adventures in their own right. You start with small adventures and then you move on to bigger ones. My greatest adventure in life was camping out in the woods during the summer for 3 months. I learned a lot while i was there. Had the best sleep of my life and the most inspiration i ever had.
I think this is partially why trust fund babies or those that grew up with an old money upbringing constantly feel like they have a chip on their shoulder. There's a part of their subconscious that understands they were gifted unearned privilege and that besets them with a burden to prove their individual worthiness to others.
There is a wonderfully funny book called We Appy Few. Its the story of a young man who joins up to fight in the battle of Agincourt. During which he goes through all the petty work stuff that has not changed in a thousand years. He then changes from a boy to a man. Its worth a read, We Appy Few, although it is very anti woke.
I listen to a lot of your videos and you make so much sense about so much stuff. Do you have anything written that would be you child appropriate ? My child is 14 and I would love too have a book that explains a lot of the life values and responsibilities that form an individual to become a productive member of society that speak about.
Contentment is not the same as comfort. Paul/Saul said he learned to be content, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have to do anything anymore. It just means, he lived everyday as if it was his last and is content that he did everything he could during his time and anything beyond it is out of his hand, but until then, he will keep on striving.
Abraham: Confront the Challenges of Life Head On Story: Abraham lives a secure, comfortable life, one that he simply inherited. A spirit calls out to him saying he needs to stop doing this and go out into the world. Psychological significance of this story is that you're not built for complacent, unearned comfort. You have to step into the adventure of pursuing the challenges that call out to you. If you avoid this, you don't actually remain content. More likely, your empty mind becomes a devil's workshop. You will create havoc just for the sake of something interesting to happen. Or you'll simply shrink, become anxious, and lose all self-confidence, because you know that if you ever needed to, you're not capable of handling life's challenges. If you do confront and overcome your challenges, and your genuine self-confidence and material successes will grow in proportion to the challenges you overcome.
Better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war. Wolves keep the garden clear by preying on deer. Sheep live lives in pastures guarded by the shepherds. The only thing for the sheeps to fear is if the shepherd leaves his flock.
Imagine lovingly everyone you know succeeding... according to the golden rule, and you'll have mediated God to each one, everyone makes it no excuses=)
Not that I disagree with Jordan, but it's getting harder to "confront" life when every aspect of society is working against you, i.e. economy, inflation, gender discrimination, taxation.
That's literally his exact point of everything he is saying and everything he is about--stop playing the victim and believing as what marxists would have you believe that society is unfairly "oppressing" you! Life isn't fair! It's an attitude shift that's needed. That's what confront means
You have no choice. People think it's actually harder today? The average person lived off of $1.25 a week in today's money just over 100 years ago. I think people expect success, and realizing that it's actually tough and time-consuming to obtain that success shakes them up. We live in a society where things are instant. Growing up to realize success is not instant, not given runs counter to how many people have been raised to believe.
schizophrenia is a curse. With a significant psychoses the victim loses touch with reality and their lives get worse and worse. Modern drugs often help albeit with side effects. Learning to avoid thoughts and behaviours that make things worse seems a good idea. Real love like in nearly all things must help.
Konfrontacja,z życiem ? Trzeba dojrzeć do tego. I to bezwzględu na konsekwencje. Przed nami Jordan mnóstwo pracy. Mam nadzieję, że moja praca odniesie sukces a odniesie. Zapewniam że odniesie.
Hebrews 10:32-39 "32But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, 33sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. 35Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37For, “Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay; 38but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” 39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls." It has been fascinating to listen you, Jordan, and to see you reflect what Scripture has already revealed.
Folks conquered by the shadow, thrive in the shadows. Bring them into the light with the power of The Word, (Asking respectfully), so that they may engage in honest self discovery, if one allows to give consideration, their idea of ideal, isnt ideal to maintain/hold as true. The shadow thrives in ambiguity, give the bad behaviors feedback, do not attack the people with bad behavior too much, scold the behavior taking their poor spirit for the ride of their lives in a negative sense, help a brother/sister out in a cooperative journey of discovery by asking and answering questions, even the ones that hurt, to come to an understanding, instead of a forced settlement.
I’ve avoided responsibility. But I’m still in a PhD program and enjoying my life, wealthy enough to not have to worry about money. Why do I have to continuously chase responsibility and struggle if working at 40% capacity still allows myself an enjoyable life, great health, and allows me the freedom to do as I please?
I don't think you are avoiding responsibility. You're studying, you're taking care of your good health and allow yourself to enjoy and have freedom. That's taking responsibility for yourself. Responsibility is not just work, not just career. It's your whole life.
Jordan is being held hostage by a boy sacrificing a high-resolution experience as a strategy to appear favorable-- by speaking to avoid triggering his father's abhorrence of high resolution. (Rule 5)
A high-resolution experience of human behavior is the only access to becoming your own competent parent and a conscious adult. Hence Jordan's vicious circles of low resolution trap his mind in the self-unaware coregulation stages in which he is dependent on exterior sources for his existence and emotional regulation.
I see pathology in general proposition "to face catastrophes of life", do you? I give you a clue, this pathology creates vulnerability to the spirit, as well as puts the spirit at constant continuous risk. Here is an explanation, there are three basic mechanisms facing threat run, fight, freeze, tell me why would one in his right mind choose catastrophes as motivation to move forward. What happened to wishful thinking, seems like a valuable alternative to me. What happened to "look at the path going downhill, because when one is looking for threes to avoid them one sees trees and eventually would end up crashed into the three. It's like using Nazi Germany as a starting point to move forward, at the end Nazi Germany would be worshiped as god whose doctrine would be reflected in every aspect of the voluntarily play, a shadow that is NOT integrated rather put there to scare. Would you challenge that shadow, you said yourself "when everything goes right people will find ways to brake the structure", how, exactly by questioning motives, and the only thing to question is the shadow by becoming the shadow.
So are my seizures that never seem to stop the spirit telling me to go on an adventure. Even though i really didn't have an easy life, i wouldn't call it hard growing up. Now, though, i have 5 minute long seizures every four weeks. Nothing seems to stop them. I wish my adventure would end. im tired of waking up on hospital beds. How is life not a joke? we are a tv show that aliens watch every week. Maybe our season is coming to an end.
Why is this a recurring theme in Jordan Peterson's lectures? Is this a common problem? Are people having this problem also the type to watch lectures and podcasts such as this?
People seek comfort too much especially nowadays, or they think they do. And the main idea behind today's self-improvement advice is the idea of happiness, which roughly means "contentment with what is", instead of seeking what could be. Jordan Peterson thinks it's the wrong conclusion, and one of the spirits (mode of being) of God in the Biblical stories is the one that calls you to adventure. All spirits make a meta-spirit, which is what God is. It's a personality, a mode of being, that art, stories, religions & mythologies are attempting to articulate. That articulation has emerged over thousands of years in this form, so Peterson believes it to be deepest argument on what we should imitate.
Listen up 😊 it takes more to be there and it reminds me of my past when i couldn't get anything done while now i have a home, $38k weekly profit and a lovely daughter!!
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my daughter's surgery (Joey). Glory to God.shalom.
They believe Jesus, but not God: Jesus said, “he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24). Those who don't believe Jesus came from God will certainly die in their sins. Jesus has said the Father has sent him numerous times, but most people think they can worship one without the other, which will be their downfall without repentance. Jesus said “he that honors not the Son, honors not the Father, which has sent him” (John 5:23). Jesus is saying all who reject his words, which belong to God, dishonors them both and will be cast into outer darkness; where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 8:12). Going against one is going against the other because they are one in agreement in all things (John 10:30). Repent, and God will forgive.
For the young kids complaining about inflation and the collapse of the economy, you can start your own rock band. If you don’t have any friends, just become a rapper. If that doesn’t work, just rob a bank. 😬
JP, you're too rich to understand the common person anymore. I challenge you to take me on! There's no advice you could give to figure out the situation I've ended up in, I started a business when I was 12, I'm almost 40, still have the business but it hasn't made me enough money, I'm now living back at home, I have no debt, I have assets and precious metals and investments but everything has been devalued because of Trudeau. I don't sit on my ass, I work hard everyday and get pushed over at every good opportunity or get ripped off or some low life's find a way to cause hardships... I'm left with almost no options anymore but to start hurting people that mess with me, being legit is just not working, everything around me is corrupt and evil but atleast they get paid right. Take the conversation as I'm out of options and might just go on a spree of bad decisions or turn all my networth into a new criminal organization. I await your response.
I would say this. I know God is real because the angel I saw and received the purest love out of he’s voice commanded me that I must tell humans what I saw 👀, God is real and we fight with our purpose in this beautiful but dangerous world 🌎, a place that If you are got slipping it could cause you heaven or Hell on earth is your choice really depends upon your own perspective, to this I say wake up and pray 🤲 go to sleep and pray 🤲 ask for protection or for knowledge and understanding with it perhaps you gain wisdom 🤷🏽♂️

There is no soon coming of Christ, all that is a liar. you will keep on preaching about that for million years but it will never come to happen.

Trzeba dojrzeć do tego.
I to bezwzględu na konsekwencje.
Przed nami Jordan mnóstwo pracy.
Mam nadzieję, że moja praca odniesie sukces a odniesie.
Zapewniam że odniesie.
Hebrews 10:32-39
"32But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, 33sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. 35Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37For,
“Yet a little while,
and the coming one will come and will not delay;
38but my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls."
It has been fascinating to listen you, Jordan, and to see you reflect what Scripture has already revealed.
The Catastrophy of Life is …
Not living the adventure.
Keep in mind he is not a Christian. This helps when i listen to him

lol the thumbnail knows we only have one parent 😅
Yea I would get off couch if the rent or housing market didn't go high
Jordan said ............Give em hell Netanyahu. That is a catastrophe. Jordan will not face it. He gets my post deleted instead
He farted at 7:22
Folks conquered by the shadow, thrive in the shadows. Bring them into the light with the power of The Word, (Asking respectfully), so that they may engage in honest self discovery, if one allows to give consideration, their idea of ideal, isnt ideal to maintain/hold as true. The shadow thrives in ambiguity, give the bad behaviors feedback, do not attack the people with bad behavior too much, scold the behavior taking their poor spirit for the ride of their lives in a negative sense, help a brother/sister out in a cooperative journey of discovery by asking and answering questions, even the ones that hurt, to come to an understanding, instead of a forced settlement.
I congratulate Jordan for not deleting my previous post. I invite Jordan to confront his catastrophe. Jordan does a lot of real good for posters here.
I’ve avoided responsibility. But I’m still in a PhD program and enjoying my life, wealthy enough to not have to worry about money. Why do I have to continuously chase responsibility and struggle if working at 40% capacity still allows myself an enjoyable life, great health, and allows me the freedom to do as I please?
How old are you?
I don't think you are avoiding responsibility. You're studying, you're taking care of your good health and allow yourself to enjoy and have freedom. That's taking responsibility for yourself. Responsibility is not just work, not just career. It's your whole life.
Jordan is being held hostage by a boy sacrificing a high-resolution experience as a strategy to appear favorable-- by speaking to avoid triggering his father's abhorrence of high resolution. (Rule 5)
A high-resolution experience of human behavior is the only access to becoming your own competent parent and a conscious adult.
Hence Jordan's vicious circles of low resolution trap his mind in the self-unaware coregulation stages in which he is dependent on exterior sources for his existence and emotional regulation.

I see pathology in general proposition "to face catastrophes of life", do you? I give you a clue, this pathology creates vulnerability to the spirit, as well as puts the spirit at constant continuous risk. Here is an explanation, there are three basic mechanisms facing threat run, fight, freeze, tell me why would one in his right mind choose catastrophes as motivation to move forward. What happened to wishful thinking, seems like a valuable alternative to me. What happened to "look at the path going downhill, because when one is looking for threes to avoid them one sees trees and eventually would end up crashed into the three. It's like using Nazi Germany as a starting point to move forward, at the end Nazi Germany would be worshiped as god whose doctrine would be reflected in every aspect of the voluntarily play, a shadow that is NOT integrated rather put there to scare. Would you challenge that shadow, you said yourself "when everything goes right people will find ways to brake the structure", how, exactly by questioning motives, and the only thing to question is the shadow by becoming the shadow.
Interesting comment. Still thinking about it.
He made some good points but the way he talks and acts is so funny that's the main reason I watch his vids
What's funnier is saying this while hiding behind an anonymous account, I guess courage was running low when they made you.
@@horaciorodd dem anonymous troll demons best you?
So are my seizures that never seem to stop the spirit telling me to go on an adventure. Even though i really didn't have an easy life, i wouldn't call it hard growing up. Now, though, i have 5 minute long seizures every four weeks. Nothing seems to stop them. I wish my adventure would end. im tired of waking up on hospital beds. How is life not a joke? we are a tv show that aliens watch every week. Maybe our season is coming to an end.
May You be healed and recover
I pray for you 🙏
Amen

Why is this a recurring theme in Jordan Peterson's lectures? Is this a common problem? Are people having this problem also the type to watch lectures and podcasts such as this?
People seek comfort too much especially nowadays, or they think they do. And the main idea behind today's self-improvement advice is the idea of happiness, which roughly means "contentment with what is", instead of seeking what could be. Jordan Peterson thinks it's the wrong conclusion, and one of the spirits (mode of being) of God in the Biblical stories is the one that calls you to adventure. All spirits make a meta-spirit, which is what God is. It's a personality, a mode of being, that art, stories, religions & mythologies are attempting to articulate. That articulation has emerged over thousands of years in this form, so Peterson believes it to be deepest argument on what we should imitate.
The plot thickens
We live in a giant world full of all kinds of people. A bunch of those people have been content with living very basic lives and are regretting it.

Listen up 😊 it takes more to be there and it reminds me of my past when i couldn't get anything done while now i have a home, $38k weekly profit and a lovely daughter!!
Oh, really? Tell us more! I'm always interested in hearing success stories.
It's Renee Marie Harrison doing, she's changed my life.
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my daughter's surgery (Joey). Glory to God.shalom.
I do know Renee M. Harrison, I also have even become successful....
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Renee Marie Harrison.
“jordan give them hell peterson” what a fraud
Ahhh nope.
.... your bedroom is a catastrophic mess. Clean it now!
They can’t afford a couch.
...Yet have newest phone and eat out everyday.
They believe Jesus, but not God:
Jesus said, “he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24). Those who don't believe Jesus came from God will certainly die in their sins. Jesus has said the Father has sent him numerous times, but most people think they can worship one without the other, which will be their downfall without repentance. Jesus said “he that honors not the Son, honors not the Father, which has sent him” (John 5:23). Jesus is saying all who reject his words, which belong to God, dishonors them both and will be cast into outer darkness; where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 8:12). Going against one is going against the other because they are one in agreement in all things (John 10:30). Repent, and God will forgive.
Nah I dont agree with him
For the young kids complaining about inflation and the collapse of the economy, you can start your own rock band. If you don’t have any friends, just become a rapper. If that doesn’t work, just rob a bank. 😬
Really feeling the sympathy man
Nobody says you are a preacher?
Be real ?
Not interested
JP, you're too rich to understand the common person anymore. I challenge you to take me on! There's no advice you could give to figure out the situation I've ended up in, I started a business when I was 12, I'm almost 40, still have the business but it hasn't made me enough money, I'm now living back at home, I have no debt, I have assets and precious metals and investments but everything has been devalued because of Trudeau.
I don't sit on my ass, I work hard everyday and get pushed over at every good opportunity or get ripped off or some low life's find a way to cause hardships...
I'm left with almost no options anymore but to start hurting people that mess with me, being legit is just not working, everything around me is corrupt and evil but atleast they get paid right.
Take the conversation as I'm out of options and might just go on a spree of bad decisions or turn all my networth into a new criminal organization.
I await your response.
I would say this.
I know God is real because the angel I saw and received the purest love out of he’s voice commanded me that I must tell humans what I saw 👀, God is real and we fight with our purpose in this beautiful but dangerous world 🌎, a place that If you are got slipping it could cause you heaven or Hell on earth is your choice really depends upon your own perspective, to this I say wake up and pray 🤲 go to sleep and pray 🤲 ask for protection or for knowledge and understanding with it perhaps you gain wisdom 🤷🏽♂️
