What you won’t see is any actual representation of Christ despite all the sound and fury. Instead you get the two older dispensations: The Old Gods (for those with a dollar’s worth of imagination) and (adopts Tevye pose) Tradition! (AKA The Law) in the form of Updated Arks up the wazoo needing very little imagination at all.
The words of the Prophet Peterson are true and inspiring. Just as well, him being a prophet and all. The thing is that this is a video. V i d e o. The words are there to be there. Most of the message, intended or not, is in the imagery. Granted that words are images here, too. So, one asks oneself, will this enlighten John Q Normie? I’m not so sure. Still when the words do manage to leak through it does make for a nice change from an E Michael Jones or a Dennis Prager doing the Logos LARP. Peterson does it better.
Now put his words to Copland’s Lincoln Portrait for extra credit.
Me, I prefer the Apostle John plain and unadulterated.

I need more of the Person of Jesus. Christ the Corporeal.
NotNutella, the visuals had me wandering to similarities and dissimilarities. Instead of the nature I’d have preferred maybe designs and Rembrandt’s Christ.

“Me, I prefer the Apostle John plain and unadulterated.”
I very much agree. however…
Peterson is a new Christian. There’s no doubt that he has had his spiritual awakening on his mind for a long time. Given his study and wonderful intelligence concerning human nature and understanding coupled with his new perspective of Christian faith and praxis, I would not, even at this early time, ignore any of his wonderful insights.

“Christ is he who transcends death by accepting death.”
Which is an updated way of saying what we say at every service: “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death…” And we have done so for almost 2,000 years.
Peterson gets it.

Thanks Greg, but please don’t yell out

I think the words of Paul, in 1 Corinthians 12:3, speak to where Jordan Peterson is in his journey to God.
Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
If you’ve never stumbled from the path, during your quest to God, you’re a better man than I.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Interesting imagery.
