Valerio Albisetti - Il viaggio della Vita

After almost forty years of being a practitioner of psychotherapy I’m convinced that human beings come fully awake when they suffer and, even more, when they are dying, and that idea radically contradicts the modern idea that humanity’s future runs in a straight and continuous line toward progress.  Contrarily for some time now in my numerous books I have been saying that earthly life is only one of the ways of living God gives us, and it can only be understood by seeing...
