Valerio Albisetti - Il viaggio della Vita

I have always advised in my numerous books published by the Paulines, to take death as a mission, a journey of meaning undertaken on this earth. Not an isolated event, without meaning. To distance oneself from the soul brings neurosis. The soul knows the truth and we need to take seriously what the soul shows us. The relationship that we have with death conditions every act of our existence. The soul is not bound by categories of time or space. For this reason my friends...

We can transform a passion or an instinct and transforming it interpret it to understand what it truly wants. If we continue to be dominated by passions, or instincts we will never be free, therefore we will never live, we can never transform ourselves. And so, on the other side, if we deny our passions and the instincts that agitate us, we will lose energy, and the desire to live, losing the tie to our nature, our history, our roots.

But it will not be like that, not even for them. They continue to work, continue to accumulate,...

Human beings are not static. They are not rigidly determined in a genetic way as was once thought. A human being can reach psychospiritual awareness, and is able to analyze in a critical way what is experienced. A human being knows how to recognize that which serves to increase awareness and that which instead hinders it. Related to this, I affirm that the human being possesses enormous capacities for change and transformation of personality. The human being, different from...

To understand social dynamics we must understand the psychological dynamics that operate in the person, likewise to understand the person we must we must take into account the sociocultural context in which that person lives. I’ve realized unfortunately that today, in the third millennium after Christ, humanity did not know how to use the freedom it won to fully express its potentiality. Not only this. It seems that the freedom conquered, even if partial, rather than...
