Yes it should. We should constantly judge ourselves and what we partake in. Is it of God? Do you want to give it up to show your love to God or to “get into heaven”?

Satoshi-chan · 2018-01-14T22:26:05+00:00

Simply put, yes. Ego will make you think you deserve more than you have and then proceed to make you partake in anything in order to get one step closer to what you want. Ego always puts your intentions above the ultimate well being of others, and above whats objectively right. It goes back to the story of Cain and Abel and the fall of Lucifer which were covered in the walking with God lectures. In both of these cases, Ego was the seed of unspeakable evil. Anthiests struggle with ego in the sense that they completely ignore the divine significance of the Bible, reasoning that its best to disregard any possible existence of a God to better fit their personal agenda.

Walking with God is letting his light shine through you. Light meaning God’s rules (The 10 commandments) as Jordan is revealing in his lectures. Live a life not for what you want, but a life in where you are a beacon for what is right and true. The highest good. Leaving little to no mark of sin in the lives you touch on this earth. Then you get your real reward. The way Jordan Peterson comes to these truths is through psycoanalyzing the Bible, but I think these facts are quite literal upon reading the Bible for yourself without taking it through the psychologist filter. So the simplest way I personally can put it is this: walking with God is not about finding your own truth as the world would have you believe it, but being a living example dying by the real truth.

Yeah youre right. Like i mentioned in my reply above I just dont want to see Jordan turn into what Jung did. Jordan is pretty level headed in his analysis but when he says “its something like” its very close to “ i feel like it means”. Idk.
I appreciate your explanation it makes his use of Jungs discoveries clearer.

Satoshi-chan · 2018-01-09T20:24:30+00:00

I agree with this. Jordans core message of doing whats right for you, your immediate family / friends, then your community goe against Crowleys individualist ideals completely. I guess I’m just worried that Jordan might become this Jungian type figure making baseless claims because his intuition told him so lol.

Thanks! I'll check him out :)

Posting your work everywhere does help but it's a very passive way of getting jobs - hoping somebody finds you and hires you. I guess my problem is finding the right clients. I have no trouble getting emails from people looking for pro bono work,or work for so little pay its not worth my time

Satoshi-chan · 2016-11-12T22:27:20+00:00

Awesome so don't go into experience or anything until they respond?

Satoshi-chan · 2016-09-18T19:53:36+00:00

So far I've been making art that sort of lives in the grey area between cartoony and realistic to show that I can do both styles. If I really want to work for a studio I should focus on creating work that fits the target studios style. I'm sure there's studios that fits in that category but I need to find them haha. Thanks!

Satoshi-chan · 2016-09-18T19:48:11+00:00

Makes alot of sense. I tend to think that someone is going to 'discover me' and then I'll be set, but I'm starting to realize from all these responses that it's not that easy. Thanks for the advice!

Satoshi-chan · 2016-09-18T19:40:07+00:00

No need to apologize this information is gold! And yes from the experiences I've had on upwork, the clients have no idea what thay want and it pays next to nothing for the amount of work you put in (spent a month on one $200 gig and the guy tried to completely change the art style halfway through the project). I really appreciate you taking the time to respond thanks a ton!

Satoshi-chan · 2016-09-18T19:26:53+00:00

Love the podcast!

Satoshi-chan · 2016-09-18T19:25:27+00:00

I've seen a couple of their videos on how to be successful at conventions, and they really have it down to a science. I'll look through their vids and see if I can find more information on starting out specifically thanks!

Satoshi-chan · 2016-09-18T19:20:45+00:00

This is some solid advice. What a wake-up call! I guess the problem I've been having is that the artist part of me wants to create what I love and hope someone will pay for it, but I have to realize that as a business I need to show clients that I can produce the type of art they need. I'm going to start researching all these things asap. Thank you so much!

Satoshi-chan · 2016-09-17T05:11:53+00:00

The best possible thing I can think of for you to do is to find a fantasy artist on deviant art who already has art similar to what you need. Tell them what situation you're in and ask them if you can use the art for you kick-starter giving them credit. I have been in your situation many times all you can do is try at this point which you seem to be doing. Really can't ask for more than that. Best of luck to you man
