โ€œWhere is the needle moving? Well, it's obviously moving radically in a direction that Alex Jones and David Icke have been in some time. That's not to say that either of those two men are without flaws, of course, I wouldn't make that claim for any human being. But during that time, people have started to look at pedophile rings, conspiracies, global events that seem to be managed and manipulated, the possibility and potential that real power is not government or party political, but is in fact controlled by institutions that are imperial, transcendent of global boundaries, and may even be occultist and dark and demonic.โ€

    Bible reading serves as a daily spiritual anchor

    โ€œNow every day I read the scripture for about an hour and I pray and meditate as well as reading some devotionals doing some breath exercise. I remember when I met years ago His Holiness the Dalai Lama, someone said like, oh, he meditates like eight hours a day. And I thought, well, that seems excessive. But now, like, what else is there to do except be in continual prayer? Increasingly as my walk with him, yoke to him continues, I recognize any time I let go of his hand, any time I step back into even neutrality, neutrality metastasizes immediately into self and therefore sin.โ€

    Sin is the mental state of self-elevation

    โ€œI see sin now, Tucker, not as the transgression of stealing or lying or whatever, but as the mental state that precedes it. When I'm in that mental state where suddenly I elevate myself like Lucifer, like the fallen one, I think I can create my own circuitry, my own neurological circuitry without his angelic agency. As soon as I'm in that, I belong to the world again. I belong to empire. Forget the tyranny of those most powerful people in the world. Even in my petty trivial tyranny, I bear their insignature, not his.โ€

    Totalitarianism seeks to annihilate the image of God

    โ€œIf you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever. And in that moment, I think both you and I discussed, yes, and what is the face? That is the image of God. They are annihilating the image of God. They remove the image of God. Once the image of God, our personal impriture, our signature, the hieroglyph, he's present in us, the creator of meaning, without whom there cannot be geometry, mathematics or music, but even meaning itself.โ€

    Independent media is uncovering deeper occultist powers

    โ€œWhere is the needle moving? Well, it's obviously moving radically in a direction that Alex Jones and David Icke have been in some time.

    Faith requires letting go of earthly identity

    โ€œCS. Lewis says in The Great Divorce, when you accept him, your whole life will have been heaven if you reject him. You are in purgatory forever. And why do they stay in purgatory in The Great Divorce? It's because they won't let go of their earthly identity. They won't let go of it. We have to let go of that in order to receive the kingdom. We have to let go of who we are in shame, who we are in fear, who we are to the world. And once you do that, you're kind of already dead, but you're also in eternal life.โ€

    Confessional writing requires complex family negotiations

    โ€œI talked to Jess, my wife, about it, not just before I wrote it, but while I was writing it. And I would say, I don't think I'm giving me anything away by saying that there was a fair amount of negotiation going on during the process, on all ends, on the ends in terms of the New York Times magazine editors, wanting certain things from me, and then talking to Jess about what I wouldn't, you know, would and wouldn't reveal about our marriage, about myself, about her, and then other figures in the picture, I guess, are my parents.โ€

    Childhood dysfunction shapes adult relationship dynamics

    โ€œI don't think you can talk about how screwed up you are as much as I do in that article without at a minimum being there's some, you know, there being some implication that some of that screwed up-ness came from my childhood. And so there's that just at a baseline. And then also, you know, if I want to say explicitly about what kind of context I grew up in and how that led to the complicated adult figure that I am.โ€

    Reactive anger and withdrawal damage marital intimacy

    โ€œI can get very angry. I'm very reactive. So if I feel like I'm being disrespected or not being treated thoughtfully or spoken to kindly, I can snap, I can scream, I can withdraw and get very cold and contemptuous. And on her side, she has her own mechanisms for dealing with distress and feeling rejected by me or abandoned by me. I'd say they're more of the variety of like withdrawing affection, not so much yelling or being aggressive, but withdrawing affection and being cold and retreating behind walls.โ€

    Social media usage fuels domestic resentment

    โ€œShe was frustrated because she had been putting in a lot of time on the domestic front because I had had a big project of work. And so it kind of revealed a little bit that all the time I was spending at work wasn't all exclusively devoted to doing the work. I was also kind of messing around on social media. And so she made a kind of snide comment about, oh, good that you have so much time to be playing around on social media.โ€

    Cultural media tropes distort realistic marital expectations

    โ€œI think that we're haunted by the sort of cultural representations of marriage. I mean, there's no total escape from that probably in any culture in a sense. There's some production of like a narrative of what marriage should be, but we have this sort of hyper saturated culture, cultural representations of marriage. And it's complicated, right? I mean, one way to characterize it is just the romantic comedy that the ideal relationship is just, you know, not only are the people best friends and they're funny and silly together, but they have hot sex.โ€
