Truth & Meaning
The Story That Holds The World
Reality as governed by meaning rather than force - truth that restores rather than coerces, evil that distorts rather than creates, and Christ at the centre of reality as the point where coherence, truth and life converge.
What if reality is governed not by force, but by meaning? This book explores Christ as the point where coherence, truth, and life converge, and reframes evil not as an equal power to good, but as its distortion.
The Story That Holds The World: Truth, Coherence and the Language of Creation - forthcoming.
Excerpts
Introduction
What if reality is not primarily governed by force, but by meaning? What if truth restores rather than coerces? What if evil does not create, but distorts? And what if Christ stands at the center of reality not as a religious symbol, but as the point where coherence, truth, and life fully converge?
Chapter 6
Evil is often imagined as a force equal to good — a dark energy opposing light, a rival power contending for control of the world. This imagination is understandable, but it is mistaken. Evil does not create. It distorts. It has no substance of its own. It borrows what is real and bends it out of shape. It cannot originate life, meaning, or coherence. It can only parasitize them. This distinction changes everything.
