Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

That's what it means to be made in the image of God, to make that creative, contending, adventurous spirit suffused with love manifest within you in everything that you say and do.

That's the dawn of the kingdom of heaven that's laid upon the earth that men are too blind to see.

Next slide, please.

Good thing we didn't miss that one, eh?

Yeah.

Christ is baptized by John the Baptist.

And the symbolic representations are that a dove descends from on high.

the Holy Spirit, and comes to reside within him.

That's when he goes to the desert, by the way.

You ever had that time in your life where you woke up a little bit?

You realized that you were living a false life, and something revealed itself to you to let you know that you were on the wrong path.

And what was the price you paid for that?

How about an interregnum of confusion?

How about a period of not knowing which way was up?

That's the price you pay for letting go of the tyrannical propositions that you use to imprison yourself.

Out of the tyranny, as it says in Exodus, into the wasteland and desert.

Why do people cling to their foolish presuppositions?

Because knowing something stupid is more comforting than knowing nothing at all.

And the price you pay for the realization of your own ignorance is a brief exposure to the fact that you're entirely lost.

but you can wake up as a consequence, right?
