I love free college. Thanks internet!!

Attachment to the avoidance of suffering creates its own suffering

Man I feel like I'm getting premium paid services watching these videos by Jordan Peterson.

"Orient yourself towards the highest good you can imagine and then act in the moment" Thank you so much

Voice of sanity in a world of confusion.

I think by the time this quarantine is lifted, we will all have earned an unofficial college degree.

This man changed my life for the better.

"Living in the moment" has a different connotation to "being present". One implies recklessness, the other implies alertness. 🙏

I just realised that my hatred to my ex is defining me and holding me back from beeing the person I was set out to be. From a story about god, by Jordan Peterson.

Today’s modern attachments include: resentments, hurts, traumas, things from your past, angers, jealousies, judgements, hatred, unfortunate accidents or bad experiences. Living or dwelling in the past.

Perpetually stunned by how well Jordan is able to draw from a wealth of valuable sources and even more so: how well he manages to then simplify theses complex ideas, weaving them together and thus making them curiously accessible.

“Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.” “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” ~Master Yoda

I wonder just exactly how many lives this man has saved with his wisdom. He is such a force of good in this treacherous world. Thank you!

Attachment is the root of suffering. Expectation is the root of all heartache. In a dual existence (bifurcated?), meaning and purpose give way to suffering and circles/cycles/habits Learn to let go, do not hold tight. We take refuge in comfort and order. That one you loved that got away... How much of that attachment was to an idea versus reality? Many layers peeled away, over years. Our lens which is an inlet for experience, is proportional to what we are ready for. I've been torn asunder. It serves a specific purpose. To come back to a clean slate. Don't let life over time dictate how you are, because of conditioning. Recognize it for what it is. Circles/cycles/habits dig deeper the rut over time, just like learning to play an instrument. It becomes autonomous like most of life. Learn to breathe color and purpose back in to your existence. Be an outward pouring light versus a gaping black hole

Such a brilliant and kind man. We are so fortunate to have him among us. One of the greatest minds of all time.

there is a joke “do you know why buddhists don’t like using vacuum cleaners?” the answer ......is “because there are too many attachments!”

that part where he was talking about how dostoevsky makes the "villain" the strongest character and then goes after him, made me instantly think of how ayn rand is just the opposite... and a few seconds later, he mentions her. i legitimately cheered!
