478. Heaven, Hell, & the Human Condition | Jack Symes
The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast
**3 parts to what JBP believes about God, Consciousness, attention, stories. **
Three central propositions encapsulate the belief about the relationship between consciousness, value judgments, and the divine. First, perception and action in the world involve inherent value judgments, with individuals prioritizing certain elements based on the significance they assign to them. Second, these values are thought to exist within a hierarchical structure, akin to a 'great chain of being,' reflecting a progression towards an ultimate form of goodness or divine essence. Third, narratives, whether in fiction or Scripture, are seen as avenues to access truth and goodness, connecting back to the divine hierarchy. This framework posits that the highest form of being, the fullness of existence, must encompass consciousness as an integral feature of its nature, indicating a deep interconnection between consciousness, existence, and divine understanding throughout the history of philosophy and theology.
