abstract note	Welcome to The Knowledge Trilogy. This trilogy stands on its own, as do the others before it, but is also the last three books of the Department of Truth Series. The first book, Knowledge, seeks to look at the evolving ferment of society, what our participation in its evolution might look like, and what truly oppresses us. This book, Volition, addresses some important aspects of the nature of human will, as well as aspects of relationships and family life. The third book, Justice, looks at the nature of Justice, the insistent self, and the evolution of unity. These books cannot reach the depths required to do real justice to such wide and such essential themes, but they seek to explore some important aspects of them. It is my hope that all readers may enjoy them; from teens to older souls. They are stories to be enjoyed and adventure in, with much meaning to ponder. This second book, Volition, seeks to raise awareness of the oppressive forces in the world and where they rise from. It explores volition; the power of inspiration and intent to act. The book is also about relationships, family, and the power of consultation. Respect, communication, and shared exploration can change so much in our private lives, and as a race of people. The force of will, its various rising points and its manifestations in our actions, are many. The book seeks to explore the wells it arises from, and what may be healthy wells to give it a positive power. In the wash up, we need to know that we have it; we need to know how to make it healthy and useful for the betterment of our families and humanity. I hope that the whole Department of Truth Series provides some inspiration and cause for self-reflection, as I wrote these books to that end. The Knowledge Trilogy certainly finishes off the books that came before them and completes them as a true series. I also hope that even the nature of writing and storytelling can be gleaned from the whole series, as these last three books, while attending to important themes, were just as much about exploring storytelling. My greatest hope is that you may simply enjoy the adventure, and gather some meaning; but also, that the stories may create more exploration and meaningful conversations. So, as in all my books, this is my dance with you; my own perceptions, inspired by life and The Baha’i Faith. This book, just as the others I write, cannot seek, and do not seek, to represent my Faith. The depth and breadth of it is far beyond my words; and my symbolism and adventurousness, well, just wander as they do. I suppose what it seeks to be mostly, is something to enjoy, and something to mull over, or to reflect on. I hope you enjoy Volition and begin to understand its power. I hope you are inspired by the power of consultation, and I hope you enjoy the other two books, Knowledge, and Justice.
