Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

You can paint a positive picture that's equally compelling.

Maybe you're at a peak in your life and you wake up in the morning filled with enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm.

That means to be filled with the Spirit of God.

Enthus.

Thus is theos.

Deus.

God.

To be filled with the Spirit of God.

To be joyfully abounding in...

Faith and hope.

And why?

Because you see a new business opportunity make itself manifest.

Or maybe you're in love with someone, and the first thing you think about is the potential of that future relationship, even if that's the date that night.

Or maybe you have a new child, and you're deeply in love with that child, and you think about the joys that the new day might bring if you only conducted yourself properly.

And so what do you confront when you wake up in the morning?

How about a field of potential?

Maybe that's what your consciousness is for.

Your consciousness is the mechanism that confronts a field of potential and casts it into reality, that makes it tangible.

Now, do you believe that?
