Translator disclaimer

This article brings together the teachings of nonduality (Advaita Vedanta) and the transactional analysis concept of scripts. The author describes how understanding and practicing the path of nonduality sheds light on the illusory nature of script narratives and leads to transcendence and freedom from them. The function and maintenance of life scripts is explored as is the essential nature of human beings beyond the stories that we create. A clinical example illustrates these ideas, and guidance is offered to therapists.
