• 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
