    About this ebook

    This is a book for those deconstructing their religious, nationalistic, socioeconomic, and occupational identities, and the subsequent stories we’ve come to believe about what kind of world we live in. For those searching for meaning in the here and now, to those ready to rediscover and redefine what it means to be human. From ancient mythology to neuroscience, this book attempts to grapple with the human experience across culture, politics, and religious demographics.

    “If the choice is to be correct or compassionate, to be consecrated or complete, to be content or conscious, the choice is simple, but not easy.”

    M.R. Holt

    My name is Matthew Ryan Holt. I am not an prestigious scholar or renowned influencer. I am an electrician by trade and I hold no high degree in any scholarly field and future more I was diagnosed with dislexia around 5th grade. The truth of the mater is I am for all intensive purposes a no body. And I speak by no other authority other than that as a human being of approximately 30 years of age. I grew up as a fundamentalist evangelical Christian and have recently become an agnostic as an attempt to relinquish my religious And political identities. I am an enneagram 4, an INFJ in myers brigs and an avid photographer ( all of the photos and art in this book are of my own creation). I am all of these things consecutively and yet none of them In exclusivity.
