“The Ant Matrix Series”

Book cover titled "The Umbrella Analysis" by Terry Lee Murphy, featuring a silhouette of a person holding an umbrella, with a yellow background and various symbols including stars and circles.

This book is about self-knowledge. The first of four in The Ant Matrix Series. A series that puts forth the questions of moral science. The ethics that, when followed, govern our thoughts and societies. How we interact with ourselves, each other, and the world. The application of values and social reaction to the lack thereof. A prequel to personal development. As humans have evolved, some have not been very graceful in evolving with it. While others have been a victim of poor teachings and philosophy. Following the same path or choosing to search for a better way and getting lost while doing so. We can take many paths in search of who we are. Sometimes seeking motivation. Only to have brief moments or a few days of inspiration. Eventually finding ourselves back to the point we started and maybe an inch closer to where we want to be. Rarely moving us along fast enough to keep pace with age and time. Motivation is vital to bring us where we need to go. Knowledge of what actually does, is more important. Values, when internalized and used as standard for living, move us along in harmony with our environment. We will find a common theme in all that has proved success. Also, one that keeps something from it. In the Umbrella Analysis, we will dive deep in those things that keep us from it.

This is Volume Two of The Ant Matrix Series, a tetralogy that navigates the intricate landscape of moral science, serving both as an analysis of moral philosophy and a prequel to personal development. This installment challenges conventional methods and encourages a deep reflection on our ethical understanding. Questions the assumptions of all perspectives, diving into passiveness, trust, and the consequences of detachment from social struggles. Here, we explore the notion that we can achieve not through conquest but through the recognition and encouragement of higher thoughts. Looking deeper into the consequences of competition and the generational effects of our collective actions. The idea is to bridge philosophy with psychology, religion, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology. Moral science seeks not just to understand how we make ethical decisions but also to guide us toward making better ones.

Belief is Volume Three of The Ant Matrix Series—a profound exploration of how conviction, perception, and choice shape human life. It challenges readers to look beyond ideology, to question why they think what they think, and to rediscover the moral foundations that unite us all. Blending philosophy, psychology, science, history, sociology, religion, and cosmic understanding, Belief examines how thought evolves within individuals and civilizations—and how awareness and empathy can transform that evolution into something greater. It reminds us that belief is not the absence of knowledge, but the bridge between what we know and what we have yet to understand. In a world often divided by opinion, Belief serves as both mirror and map—a guide for those seeking meaning, truth, and moral clarity. Through the lens of The Moral Sciences, this book invites readers to reimagine what it means to believe—not as an act of blind faith, but as a conscious choice that shapes the course of human evolution.
