The Call To Adventure

“And the Lord said unto Abram, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee.”
 
This is one of those phrases where every clause is significant. Go somewhere you don’t understand. That’s the first thing: “Get thee out of thy country.”
 
You have to go into the unknown. That’s God’s first command. Go into the unknown. Because you already know what you know, and that’s not enough — unless you think you’re enough.
 
If you’re not enough and you don’t think you’re enough, then you have to go where you haven’t been. That’s the first commandment to Abraham. Go to where you don’t know.
 
“And from thy kindred.” Well, what does that mean? It means grow up. That’s what it means.
 
It means get away from your family enough so that you can establish your independence. That isn’t because there’s something wrong with your family, although perhaps there is, as there is perhaps wrong with you. But it means get away.
 
I talk to people very frequently whose families have provided them with too much protection, and they know it themselves. That means they’re deprived of necessity.
 
You have to get yourself away from your dependency in order to allow necessity to drive you forward. And that’s to become independent and mature.
 
So you get away from your country and you get away from your kin and from your father’s house.
 
You go out there and you establish yourself in the world. It’s a call to adventure.

Monday Reflections

"A wise person is someone who finds what they lost in childhood and regains it. You return voluntarily to the state of childhood well awake and then determined to participate through truth in the manifestation of a proper being."(Share this on Twitter)​

"If you have a functional identity, when you act it out in the world then you get what you want and need. However, if your identity doesn't do that well then you should either retool your identity or retool the world." (Share this on Twitter)​

"I think love is more powerful than hate by a large margin. I think it is possible for us to rise above the resentment of our suffering and to wish the best for all things."

This Week On The Podcast

Mean Tweets: an apologia | Pageau and Hurwit | The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast

Jonathan Pageau and Gregg Hurwitz sit down with Dr. Jordan B Peterson to discuss a few of his recent controversial tweets covering topics of transgenderism, the body positivity movement, and the election of supreme court justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson. In this, they seek to explore and debate how Peterson's role in society, and thus how he represents himself to the public, can spark or shut down the conversation.

From The Archives

In Every Bit of Chaos There’s the Possibility of Order | Jordan B. Peterson 

Dr. Peterson:
 
"Chaos is in order. Then in every bit of chaos, there's the possibility of order, and every bit of order is the possibility of chaos. That's the way right, that's the path of life. That's life itself and where you're right on the border between the two of those. "


Thank you for reading, 

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
