Valerio Albisetti - Il viaggio della Vita

SEARCHING THE DEPTHS

I’m convinced that we live in an age when research no longer exists, or, if it does, it’s very superficial, focused on the surface. That indicates a sad loss for humanity – a loss of hope. From the start my job has always been to try to reawaken people’s souls through the magic of the written word as it stirs the imagination.

REALITY: PLACE OF MYSTERY

The vital force in each one of us depends on our being connected to that which has no end.To be alive means to be courageous, possess a deep knowledge of myself, so as to be able to journey along unknown roads, ever aware that I am part of a timeless flow, but maintaining the desire to learn, to make sense of things on a psychospiritual level. Everything visible and concrete, looked at from a psychospiritual point of view, becomes a locus of the invisible, a place of...
