Most fundamentally, after all the considerations of consciousness, the ego, the symbolism behind the fall of man that this book explores, Purpose is a natural longing for a natural order of things. It is about an Ideal still awaiting fulfillment, a Promise that will allow the human heart to live in ever-expanding, never-ending creative joy."-- The Promise of Purpose

The Promise of Purpose... examines Purpose as an impulse from the Heart of God that manifests throughout all creation. Purpose is the spiritual Big Bang.

 Purpose carries with it qualities and characteristics that reveal a natural, intended order of things. Behind this order is an intention -- Purpose -- and, most significantly, a Promise inherent in that intention.

The book explores how it is that the world today is one of an unnatural, unintended order of things. This world lives in the shadow of what it feels is a broken Promise.

 Most of humanity experiences life through a pseudo-identity called the ego, forced upon it by the turning away of humankind from Truth and reality. The world of ego is called inversion because everything the ego perceives is literally a mirror image -- an inversion -- of the natural, intended order of things.

When we understand how the ego inverts reality, we understand more clearly the true patterns the ego so clumsily simulates. This brings us closer to realizing true Purpose and the Promise behind it.
