Dragons, Divine Parents, Heroes and Adversaries: A complete cosmology of being

This lecture describes the world as a place of action and value (as opposed to a place of objective things), and lays out the manner in which religious thinking is descriptive of that world. It provides a good introduction to Dr. Peterson's other lectures.

@@whatdoyoulivefor735 .True. A lot of people get this idea that Peterson is trying to be some kind of messiah or cult leader. All he is doing is clarifying the psychology of the human subconscious, what motivates us, why things go astray, etc. Thing is, nobody talks about it these days but it's nothing that he's come up with on his own. Now that you've watched this video, a good book to read is The Origins And History Of Consciousnesss. You'll understand his lectures on a different level. You'll see where he gets all this stuff.

Dr Peterson, I grew up in the Russian Orthodox Church and became disillusioned with religion because I felt like the people around me were more hurt by the ideologies than helped. I stopped identifying with this faith and moved on to other places researching many different philosophies. I went through many modes of thought, from nihilism to new age woo. At times I put down my search as wishful thinking or nastalgia to replace the religion I had lost faith in. You have offered the world a lens I have felt so deeply for a very long time but wasn't able to articulate it. Thank You. Your work is very important.

I grew up Orthodox. I understand what you mean. I'm still Orthodox, but I wrestle with doubt. Confession and communion always have a positive effect on me, so I keep going.

[@jenniferhill8776]

Julia Nelson i feel similarly bc from what ive seen at times people still hide behind religion lets say Christianity vs actually take moments in the year to see how they are ignoring the suffering of people/ various groups. And sometimes, examples of inequity can be so clear that i wish pple found practical ways to mobilize or take a few meaningful actions to stand up for higher values other than just pertaining to their work, family, social groups or church. But perhaps we havent evolved as a society yet more in that direction. It is easy to say i go to church regularly versus practically live those values & equate the experience, value & suffering of another being with your own & do something in that cause. Overall hwr, i understand 'loving your neighbor as yourself' or 'loving a stranger as your brother' is easier said than done. At times religion / organized religion & the customs involved seem to take away from the activity of actually living out those values. Not to mention seems to keep people segregated & inactive versus actively seeking to improve society.

This really has been one of the most memorable times of my life to witness this man. If the historians are any kind of people, I'm sure history will credit him with a shift in the hearts and minds of those who had previously had given up. He seems to be able to articulate with perfect precision a verbal cure to many of the intellectual woes of the world. I never thought I'd say that about a lecture but clearly, despite the infinite number of snares in the universe to get caught on, he's found the one absolutely right way to express himself.

They’ll more likely crucify him -( persecute at every opportunity ) However I’m hoping you’re right. He’s the most brilliant man I’ve ever heard or read, with only one caveat I think he is slightly naive when it comes to evil, it’s an odd claim to stake considering his breadth of knowledge and real life work as a psychiatrist. I stand by it, because he is slow to truly see with clarity how deep the corruption of Western governments have become, he might be coming round though. I hope.

The Pinocchio analogy reminds me of a Kierkegaard passage; "When around one everything has become silent, solemn as a clear, starlit night, when the soul comes to be alone in the whole world, then before one there appears, not an extraordinary human being, but the eternal power itself, then the heavens seem to open, and the I chooses itself or, more correctly, receives itself. Then the soul has seen the highest, which no mortal eye can see and which can never be forgotten; then the personality receives the accolade of knighthood that ennobles it for an eternity. He does not become someone other than he was before, but he becomes himself. The consciousness integrates, and he is himself. Just as an heir, even if he were heir to the treasures of the whole world, does not possess them before he has come of age, so the richest personality is nothing before he has chosen himself; and on the other hand even what might be called the poorest personality is everything when he has chosen himself, for the greatness is not to be this or that but to be oneself, and every human being can be this if he so wills it."

Jordan Peterson has taken on that mantel (Joseph Campbell’s) in a new and dynamic way, thankfully. He is a God send!

[@Trizzer89]

Things I got from this: 1. The meaning of life is basically to continually confront the unknown and turn chaos into order 2. Femininity is that which selects, and women are attuned to infer value through actions 3. To differentiate female thinking from male thinking (I'm just riffing here), men are attuned to infer value from form and function 4. Back to point 2, there must be more than just action, as I've noticed women are generally better at designing a space or selecting clothes. I guess I would characterize it as things that fit together as a story. Perhaps this is what Dr Peterson means when he says women select men at the top of the dominance hierarchy (actions) and men who will stick around to raise a child (good fit) 5. So, to be a successful man, you must confront chaos often, come out with a better mental map often, and be able to convey your experience in a way that fits with other's experience 6. Summarizing how to be a successful woman is going to be much more difficult for me, as I have no frame of reference. Obviously, looking good and generally being nurturing will help attract more mates, but do you want more options or do you want the right option(s) faster? This thought experiment is hurting my head

30:15 "That's Chaos" A glass fell and shattered. Even the gravity is dancing with Mr. Peterson

11:18 - 11:28 I think that even if you live alone that whole message still applies to you. Listen to it 10 times or more, I remember Alan Watts once left such hidden message in one of his talks. I love it

A brilliant philosophical, anatomical, historical and psychological journey, I can dwell on this 40 minute video for a lifetime.

[@rubberbumm]

I am sooo fucking greatfull for being open and curious enough to listen to this mans ideas. I can tell that what he is speaking of bears a lot of truth

[@M0RPHOBIA]

Thank you Professor Peterson. Your work is beyond important and I am very glad to live in this day and age where it is possible for you share your wisdom with the world. Much love and all the best for you and your family.

[@kellyberry4173]

Beautiful Dr. Brilliant. Thank you.

A life changing teacher.

[@andrewcalebgorospe2754]

@11:25 ONWARDS BROUGHT ME LITERALLY TO TEARS thank you JBP :)

[@michaelnewman6936]

Andrew Caleb Gorospe what exactly? I've had the same thing happened with his talks but not with this particular lecture.. For me it was hearing that 10% of my people have an 85 or lower IQ.. lost my shit over that. .. reduced me to tears

[@anaviana2641]

How much life energy does Dr Peterson need to deliver his wisdom the way he does. Dr Peterson is a genius (operates very differently to a normal/common humans). I can't imagine doing what he does... Its exhausting, such hard work. I am so grateful that Dr Peterson has made it so easy to make sense of life.

One word: PHENOMENAL, professor. 100%.

[@madjoy8446]

This is mind blowing revelation in my world.

[@theswede5402]

As someone who is currently stuck in life not knowing where to go next these words are so inspiring.

[@MrAdamsanto87]

I believe this is the first public video featuring Peterson's 'Lobster Talk".

[@winstonsmith9533]

Nice call!

[@jineshchhotay2748]

I have heard many lectures of Peterson sir and today i can say this is one of the best lecture he has given to MANKIND.

[@sherlockholmeslives.1605]

Does Jordan Peterson just know everything?!

[@kittywitte8926]

Thank you so much Professor Peterson for sharing your wisdom and insights, it takes time to listen and take it all in on my part, so I truly appreciate the time and effort it has taken you to put all the thoughts together and present them to the world. I wish I’d been able to learn about all this when I was younger, it makes me think so much clearer. Thank you so much!

[@Wingedmagician]

THIS IS TRUE RELIGION. This is what new age people need to graduate to. People are attached to magic and superstition without realizing that reality is far more meaningful. Thank you so much.

[@iamnotafraidiwasborntodoth5688]

It is actually the philosophy of The Catholic Church

[@BrettonFerguson]

Many Protestants teach this as well, though many do not get it. While it is the official stance of the Catholic Church, not all Catholics get it either.

[@Wingedmagician]

You realize Im speaking against superstition right?

[@iamnotafraidiwasborntodoth5688]

There is nothing superstitious about The Catholic Church - in fact superstition is condemned

[@Wingedmagician]

Virgin birth. Walking on water. Miracles. Bringing the dead back to life. Shall I go on?

[@j82man10]

This entire lecture is just... Simply eye opening, and hence, magical.. In all intents and purposes. Thank you JP! Thank you kindred family With gratitude 🦁🌻🙏

[@arboghast8505]
