Essays by John Ptacek
Consider that your head is filled with unquestioned assumptions about the nature of your existence. You acquired them from well meaning family, friends and teachers.
You assume they're true, but what if they're not?
What if your assumptions about concepts like love, hope, death - even who you believe yourself to be in your essence - are not only false, but the source of much unhappiness?
The essays on these pages explore common assumptions that limit our capacity for happiness. At their core is the concept of non-duality, a term that loosely translated means everything is connected to everything else - and that includes us high-minded human beings.
If the words on these pages cause you to reexamine your answers to life's big questions, then we will have made a powerful connection. And if you take a moment to leave a comment after you've read an essay, then these words will turn into something much more valuable - a conversation.
