• I created MetaNarratives to tell a personal story. It's a journey that began with a dramatic childhood involving a very dysfunctional family (many of whom are still alive), surviving a narcissist wife, alienation from my children, working through trauma memory, healing through journaling, and managing a nervous system that was out of control most of my life. This process has been supported by a few exceptional human beings and, ultimately, the Holy Spirit working through me to transform and rewire my brain.

    The journey involved being introduced to many books by wise people like Thomas Merton, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Heiser, and, of course, reading the Bible.

    The posts were written mainly for myself, but I chose to make them available to the public. If anything I share can is helpful, that's great. Otherwise, this site serves as a digital record of the issues I've been exploring and submitting to memory for various reasons. ~ Charles Hoffman

It was a year of great significance for me—spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. I learned a lot about myself and the human race. Humanity became clearer to me —specifically, the ontological problem we all share—a challenge we've faced since the beginning of time, but it has become much clearer. An understanding of my fallen nature became much clearer, and I believe God granted me the revelations I experienced because I have asked for clarity for years now.

A Metaphysical Worldview

When I read this passage a decade ago, it became clear that I had a long way to go before I truly understood. And why was “it” hidden in Christ? That is for later. My thesis statement is that for any of us to grasp our existence and what it truly means to be human, we must align ourselves with Christ and start there to get it right, or we risk being just another “lost” barbarian making tracks on planet Earth, ultimately dying without ever comprehending it at all.

Testimony

I remember sharing with my morning coffee partner that I finally understood the need for Yeshua to arrive when he did and, later in his life, offered to help us, heal us, and deliver the Holy Spirit for comfort and to teach us in all things. Speaking in tongues wasn’t part of his message. Yeshua, our Messiah, our Savior, came to get us, those who want it, back on track. He came to heal and connect us to a place where we are wise as the “serpents” and understand the world about us.

A New Evangelism, Understanding the Post-Modern Mind

How to share the gospel with a post-modern society. Here lies the challenge we face. Postmoderns live in the left hemisphere of their brain. They live in an abstract reality that they’ve created for themselves. They have done this to make a space they can be comfortable in, where they feel no threat. Berdyaev and McGilchrist both speak of this phenomenon in great detail.
