'The Ties That Bind' is a hybrid type of literary manuscript that presents a fresh and palatable introduction to the metaphysical world of learning. The propositions within are Promethean and thematic-driven and an experimental prescription for truth in understanding. Each representation offers a quality and expansive definition with a degree of poetic and inspirational flair and a measure of conscientious, transformative, and inspirational thought as it applies to the natural world. These concepts generate, encourage, and instill personal growth and power through comprehensive and insightful reasoning. Each work is a standalone creation that brings forth traditional topics humans assume they understand (but do not) and creatively expands upon them for future understanding and utilization. 'The Ties That Bind' is a tome to draw the reader in, converse, and speak to their desire to learn and positively modify their thinking. It's a means to teach, not to dictate the path of one's life. 'Archaic Philosophy' teaches what and how to think, as it is contrived in a restrictive and finite manner. Whereas 'Progressive Philosophy' presents the knowledge to those who seek it, an engagement that speaks to them, allowing absorption of any beneficent erudition capable of enhancing their existence.
