Revolution Is My Name

Forward By Paul Elder

Author of Eyes Of An Angel

There comes a time in our lives when we all ponder the meaning of our existence.  Is there a purpose for our being here?  Is there a God? — A higher power, a supreme being? Who and what are we? Where did we come from?

Although these and similar questions have been plaguing mankind since the dawn of civilization, are we really any closer to formulating conclusive answers? Today we still ponder these very same questions, perhaps with more urgency than ever before. Does it seem like we’re running out of time?  As our world steadily moves from one crisis to another, each appearing more threatening and ominous than the previous, are we really learning anything? Or are we headed irretrievably to the point of no return?

Should our questioning be broadened to attempt an understanding of the collective consciousness, or is the key to understanding the collective more of an inward personal reflection?  What does this apparent transition or quickening of consciousness mean to us as individuals?  Could it be possible that our most profound and complete understanding of the whole can only be attained through personal examination at an individual level?  Is it possible that at a deeper personal level, we already know all the answers?

My friend, Matthew, didn’t set out to solve the mysteries of the world; he didn’t even consciously choose to contemplate his existence.  It just happened that way.  Following a near fatal auto crash, Matthew began to take a hard look at his life, his reasons for being, and his plans for the future.  

In Revolution is My Name, Matthew T Volk takes us along on his personal journey in search of the meaning to his life. It’s the story of one man’s honest and heartfelt examination of the world around him, a world where choices can sometimes hurt.

So, if you dare, set aside, for the moment, the limitations of your own paradime, and prepare to take a look at the world through Matthew's eyes.
