Right There's a Technical Term for that in Psychology It's Called Something like Multi Method Multi Trait Method of Determining whether or Not Something Is Accurate and the Idea Is the More Ways That You Can Measure It and Get the Same Result the More Confident You Can Be that You'Re Not Just Deluding Yourself with Your a Priori Hypothesis You Know that There's Actually Something Out There So I Guess that's another Part of this Method Is that and It's Also a Method That I Use in My in My Speaking I Think I Don't Try To Tell People Anything That Isn't Personally Relevant

So I Guess that's another Part of this Method Is that and It's Also a Method That I Use in My in My Speaking I Think I Don't Try To Tell People Anything That Isn't Personally Relevant You Know because You Should Know Why You Are Being Taught Something Right You Should Know What the Fact Is Good for and It Should Be Good for You Personally At Least in some Sense and Then if You Act It Out in the World It Should Be Good for Your Family and Maybe Should Have some Significance for the Broader Community

I Think in James Joyce's Book I Think It Was Portrait of the Artist of a Young Man Man He Talked about the Jesuits Telling Them and Telling Him that Hell Was a like a Prison with Walls That Were Seven Miles Thick That Was Always in Darkness and Consumed by Fire and that the People Who Were Trapped There Were Continually Burnt by this Dark Fire That Gave New Light Which Also Simultaneously Rejuvenated Their Flesh so that It Could Be Burnt Off Eternally in Case You Were Wondering How It Was Going To Be Burnt Off Eternally that's Apparently the Process It's Not Easy for Me To See that as an Infantile Wish-Fulfillment I'M Afraid You Know You Could

I Had an Interesting Letter this Week from Someone I Get a Lot of Interesting Letters I Think I'M Going To Make an Archive out of Them and Put Them on the Web at some Point with People's Permission Obviously and He Said that He'D Been Following My Lectures and Noted that I Had Been Making What You Might Describe as a Quasi Biological or Evolutionary Case for for the Emergence of the Information that the Stories Contained and He Said Well How Do You Know that Someone from a Different Religious Tradition or Speaking of a Different Religious Tradition Couldn't Do Exactly the Same Thing

So the Biblical Stories and Starting with Adam and Eve They Present a Different Story They Present the Emergence of Self-Consciousness in Human Beings as Cosmically Cataclysmic Event and You Could Say Well What Do We Have To Do with the Cosmos and the Answer to that Is It Depends on What You Think Consciousness Has To Do with the Cosmos and Perhaps that's Nothing and Perhaps It's Everything I'M Going To Go with Everything because that's How It Looks to Me Now of Course Anyone Who Wishes to Is Welcome To Disagree

People Start Wondering if There's Not Something Wrong with the Idea that the State Itself Is this Is the Is the Pathway Is the Place of Redemption that There's Something Wrong with that Idea and So Then I Think On on the Heels of that Comes the Christian Revolution with Its Hypothesis that It's Not the State That's that's the Place of Salvation It's the Individual Psyche and Then There's There's a There's a an Ethic That Goes Along with that Too Which Is Quite Interesting so the Ethic of Redemption

And I Think this Is Very Characteristic of Clinical Experience and Also Very Much Described Explicitly by the Great Clinicians Is that What Cures in Therapy Is Truth That's the Curative Now There's Exposure to the Things You'Re Afraid of and Avoiding As Well but I Would Say that's a Form of Enacted Truth because if You Know There's Something You Should Do by Your Own Set of Rules and You'Re Avoiding It Then You'Re Enacting a Lot You Know You'Re Not Telling One but You'Re Acting One out It's the Same Damn Thing So if I Can Get You To Face What It Is that You'Re Confronting that You Know You Shouldn't Be Avoiding Then What's Happening Is that We'Re both Partaking in the Process of Attempting You To Act Out Your Deepest Truth and What Happens Is that that Improves People's Lives and It Improves Them Radically

And those Fundamental Forces Have To Be Hierarchically Organized for with some with Something Absolute at the Top because Otherwise They Do Nothing but War like You Have To Organize Your Values Hierarchically or You Stay Confused and that's True if You'Re an Individual and It's True of Your Estate if You Don't Know What the Next Thing You Should Do Is Then There's 50 Things You Should Do and Then How Are You Going To Do any of Them You Can't You Have To Prioritize Something Has To Be above Something Else Has To Be Arranged in a Hierarchy for It Not To Be Chaotic and So There's some Principle at the Top of the Hierarchy

Watch Exodus available exclusively on DailyWire+: https://bit.ly/3UgQLe6 I turned my attention in this lecture to the older of the two creation accounts in Genesis: the story of Adam and Eve. In its few short paragraphs, it covers: 1. the emergence of human self-consciousness; 2. mankind's attendant realization of vulnerability, mortality, and death; 3. the origin of the capacity for willful evil, as the ability to exploit that newly-realized vulnerability; 4. the emergence of shame as a consequence of that realization; 5. the shrinking from divine destiny that occurred when shame emerged; and 6. the beginning of true history, with the self-conscious toil that life in history entails. Impossible. Amazing. Breathtaking. The only story that can perhaps match it in terms of impact per sentence is that of Cain and Abel, which we discuss in the next lecture: number five in this twelve part series.
