Valerio Albisetti - Il viaggio della Vita

Even to love we need great interior freedom. If we are not free inside then we cannot truly love, even if on the outside we can seem capable, able give gifts, kind, gentle… because even giving is part of a psychospiritual journey, it’s not a banal or superficial or easy act. Because the giving I intend is free, it does not wait to get something back, for interest. In my vision rich is the person who gives, rather than the person who possesses many things. By giving, I don’t...

We can grow only if we accept the possibility of falling, only if we live in the name of reality, of life, of humanity, and not follow the unrealistic, illusory models made only of rules and regulations. We need to know how to use the heart too, not just the mind. Often the heart arrives to something before the mind¯and understands it better. To fall and get up not to repeat the same error again presupposes the ability to accept oneself. To get up and have the strength to...

If we tend to reach material, economic, social goals without a simultaneous interior growth, without a spiritual and psychospiritual awareness, we are destined to enter into a dimension destructive enough to bring the end of humanity. We are therefore faced with a vital challenge.

It allows for true relationship. Possessive...

There are archetypal Christian symbols that I love more than others… and so it is for each of us. They represent our uniqueness and specificity. The image of the bleeding sacred heart and of the holy spirit… these are symbols that accompany my meaning seekers and spirit journeyers… maybe for this I am considered a medieval spiritual teacher. In fact, I live in contact with nature, near the woods… I don’t believe that heroes can live in the...

We need to be in the world, listening to our own interior rhythms. Not to adjust to the rhythms of this world. But living like this creates problems for those around us, for society. To live with fullness, as persons, is seen as dangerous by the majority. Because the person who follows what is inside of him or her does not supinely accept the status quo dictated by the powerful of the day.
