    About this ebook

    It doesnt matter what you believe if what you believe isnt the truth...

    Have you ever stopped for more than 30 seconds and thought, Why are we here? Why am I here? Why do I get up every day and go to work? Seek relationships? Desire more? Why do I always feel the need to be in control of life? Of my life? Why does Earth exist? Why does anything exist? The grind of our everyday lives shields us from searching for the most fundamental aspect of human existance: Answering the question of Why?

    Due to the human nature that we involuntarily receive at birth, we all form our own opinions as to assigning the meaning of something. Regardless of our individual viewpoints, we can however all agree upon one central thing everything, undoubtedly, has meaning. The meaning of any entity can only be determined by its creator. Do you really know why the Creator created you?

      Notes

      First things first

      A s detailed as we will be getting in this book, it may appear that the title is inappropriately named. My hope however, is that you will discover that the Creator’s plan for humanity is much more simple and yet much more broad than we’ve made it out to be. This book may or may not, answer every single question that you may have. Although it will address the most pressing questions regarding human existence, it also could raise several others. The goal of this discourse is to provide a foundation, a starting point that will hopefully lead you into a greater understanding of why we exist and thus, why you exist. As the Maker has so simply, powerfully, and eloquently put it, the truth shall make you free!

      Chapter 1

      Alright, so what’s the truth of the matter?

      T oday’s society (for a very distinct reason as we will find out) has made the element of truth a discussion for debate. Relativism and selfism have become today’s truth for much of society. The funny thing is, when has anything in the history of all existence that is absolute, (meaning something is or is not whether you believe it or not) ever been in question? Has there ever been a time where one plus one did not equal two? Have you ever jumped in the air and been able to defy the force of gravity because you didn’t believe it existed? If you sat in a garage and said to yourself I’m a car over and over again, and truly believed with all of your heart that you were a car, would you eventually be able to drive yourself away? As fun as it would be to try the last example, it would probably not add much value to your life (if for some reason though you do try it and it works please let me know!) Unfortunately, today’s thinking about truth very closely resembles that example. Much of society maintains the position that because one believes or accepts something as truth, then it must be true. Seemingly a little common sense would tell us that this is not a very intelligent way of thinking. As we will come to find out, we are so close yet, very far away from the Creator’s original intent
