Akira the Don and Jordan Peterson - Heaven and Hell, Pt. 2

I think that Heaven exists and that we can produce it
But we're not going to do that by changing the behaviour of other people
It exists as a possibility, as potential
You know, we also believe in the existence of potential, even though it doesn't exist
So someone would say to you, for example, "you're not living up to your potential"
And you know what that means and you're willing to regarded it
As a genuine statement that reflects something fundamentally real
Maybe there's nothing more real about you than your potential, strangely enough
Well so Heaven and Hell are potentials, that doesn't mean they're not real
And I think it's incumbent on people to work as hard
As they can not to fall into Hell and to drag people there with them
And to work as diligently as possible to bring Heaven onto earth as rapidly as we can
And I think that that's the sort of thing also that gives your life meaning
And you can start trying to straighten up things around yourself that you can straighten up
It's a good way to begin
And you can do it, you can do it today
Carl Jung said modern people do not see God because they don't look low enough
And I like that, it's like the injunction to not pray in public
Go home, fix up the things that you can fix up, get good at it, and see what you can bring about
And if enough people did that God only knows what we could produce man
Who knows?
What are the limitations of a human being?
We have no idea
We keep transcending out limitations constantly

I think that Heaven exists and that we can produce it
But we're not going to do that by changing the behaviour of other people
I think that Heaven exists and that we can produce it
But we're not going to do that by changing the behaviour of other people
