Tally: An Intuitive Life
|
Non-fiction
Coming to Greenwich Village, New York City at the age of 20, PJ took in the full flavor, substance and style of the Bohemian philosophy of life. But in mid-life he and his wife separated, and his work as a fine press printer and book designer came to an end. He needed to create a new identity, to find new reasons to live. This is his story, often in his own words, through his letters, other writings and taped interviews, and the author's diary, as he worked to live as a free and independent human being and thinker. It's an in-depth look into the psychology of near-death experiences, self-identification, autonomy, guilt and innocence, dependence and independence, aging, consciousness, and being aware of the intuitive thread that runs through our lives. Over the years, through his heightened awareness, he created his own philosophy.
