The Tao of Questy

The Tao of Questy is about love and laughter and being human. It's about sharing ideas and being a little bit crazy in order to stay sane.

To quote a famous fellow philosopher, Voltaire, "I laugh to keep myself from going mad."

The core websites of Guru 42 are to be a place to reflect on the world around us, and without taking the stand of any one philosophy, to step back and try to understand a little behind the logic, or in many cases the lack of logic of the events of the day. As part of the Guru 42 universe, the Tao of Questy is the slightly off center corner of the Universe.

Although this site is called the Tao of Questy, it's not necessarily about Taoism, or any specific philosophy for that matter If you'd like to laugh a little, learn a little, and are open minded enough to stretch your mind a little, then join me for the journey I call the Tao of Questy.

Who is Questy?

The concept of Questy has been used by me, Tom Peracchio, as an alter ego, to represent myself. I started using it in the early 1990's, pre-internet. As I began developing web sites, and an online identity, the colors green and purple, along with the Questy character, have created my own brand identity.

Technology has been my profession for many years. Music and philosophy have been my passions for my entire life. It only seems natural that the two come together at my cyberspace home.

I started reading the works of the great philosophers when I was old enough to read. I took my first philosophy class back in high school. As time goes on, I hope to organize my notes on philosophy to share with those who care to learn, and for those who dare to dream.

Questy's mission is to stretch your brain to see things in a different perspective.  Even if you totally disagree with Questy, if you think about a problem or idea in a way you never have before, he has succeeded.

As Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, "Man's mind, stretched to a new idea, never goes back to its original dimension."  For the true vision of Questy is not one which is seen through your eyes, but is one that is perceived through your mind.  The greatest messages are ones in which the mind focuses what your eyes cannot.

 The Tao of Questy is a collection of the personal thoughts  and visions of the philosophic Questy. Some may be simple dreams, while other are burning melodies of words and music pouring through my soul.
