I remember first searching for truth in the nineties. My mind was captivated into the introductory Left Behind series of books, which were about the apocalypse and the Rapture. While fictitious, the grave thoughts stirred a deep desire in me to better understand Christianity and salvation. The next best-selling book that captured my mind was the book of Scientology. The book was intriguing into the deep study of engrams, which for me was a good crosswalk back into Christianity. My next natural outlook was into other Christian-denomination establishments, focuses, and teachings.

Autonomy is either relational or it does not exist at all. Absolute individualism is a mental construct abstracted from an irreducibly relational biosphere. Human life finds itself in and is realized by relationships with other beings. This book gazes on the fact that individualism is irredeemably contingent on relationality. Significant as self-consciousness is, consciousness of the other as a fellow self is a higher consciousness. It is the consciousness of the other selves that is the basis of ethics and morality.
