It’s Good Sunday. I have followed Jordan Peterson since the 2017 university fall-out and posted a lot about him. I like this video like I do the previous one from Ben Shapiro. He doesn’t seem like a false prophet nor a ferocious wolf. He’s a decent human whose being struggling with questions like many of us. It’s a good thing.
“I don’t think the world is made out of matter. I think it’s made out of what matters“
It reminds me of the post I wrote about the Vietnamese Buddhist Thich Nhat Hanh.
‘Seeing suffering in another will bring you to compassion as a power to heal you and then the other person. To meditate means to generate that energy of compassion‘.
‘When people create this at the same time we can create a collective mindfulness and compassion. When this goes to your heart, you get the compassion‘.

I like Jordan Peterson….one of the brightest people I’ve ever listened to. He is different also…an intellectual that believes in God.
I agree with what he is saying…I am cynical about churchs also…after going to many…we found a church where we can agree on the teaching and ways. A small church of around 20 people.
I think since the ‘Intellectual Darkhorse’ and ‘Four Horsemen”s demise, Jordan Peterson, Bret Weinstein and Douglas Murray are primarily my go – to sources for information on current world affairs and philosophical enlightenment. I also have listened a bunch to John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place’s presentations about religious history. I love those. I just wish Christopher Hitchens was still with us considering what has occurred during and since the Pandemic.
I’m glad you found a church that you find homely.
I go to them on political matters as well. They use common sense also…they mix it in with their thoughts.
What denomination is the Church you go to?
Church of Christ…no musical instruments…
No music or just choral?
a capella… they go by the “Make music with your heart”…. personally I don’t mind Matt. You know I love history…I know when we sing…if you visited the church in 1955…it would sound the very same.
That sounds interesting Max. Religion is very personal.
Yea…it’s peaceful Matt…to me. My dad died suddenly and ever since then I had a hard time falling asleep…after we started to go…I never had any problems…and I do believe…I just don’t go there for peace…that is just a by product.
I’m sorry to read about your father’s passing. I’m glad the church has brought you solace in dark times.
I apprecicate it…yes it did provide that.
