The devil in the Screwtape Letters doesn't argue with his patient. He just keeps him distracted. A newsboy. A bus. Lunch. It works every time.Silence and prayer is indispensable. Without it, you have no way to aim your life at anything that actually matters. And a man without an aim is already losing, no matter how hard he works. YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN AIM.In this video I cover:-what the Screwtape Letters reveal about distraction and the modern world-why prayer is an act of aiming, not just an act of devotion-how Peterson's framework on aim connects directly to Catholic spirituality-the daily practice of realignment and why it compounds over time-what Christ means when he says the eye is the lamp of the bodyWant to go deeper and get into a brotherhood of men doing this together? https://fitforthekingdom.com.au/the-legionWe are rebuilding the west.My work: https://linktr.ee/tomas.monesFit for the Kingdom (FFTK): http://fitforthekingdom.com.au/#silence #prayer #masculinity #catholic #christian #discipline #focus0:00 Introduction0:33 Modern Society & Noise1:46 The Screwtape Letters3:42 The Stream of Sense Experience6:45 Distraction Is the Weapon7:32 Why Silence Maxing Matters8:05 Prayer as Orientation9:13 Aiming at the Highest Good10:29 Daily Realignment12:05 The Eye Is the Lamp13:20 Prayer Is Aiming13:41 No Excuses for Skipping Prayer14:39 Rise Early, Aim High14:58 Silence Max Every Morning
