The Light

by Massimo Scaligero, Eric L. Bisbocci (Translator)

Here is a classic of contemporary spirituality. Scaligero was a student of Zen, yoga, and the spiritual science of Rudolf Steiner—but he came to completely independent conclusions based on his direct spiritual experience. Scaligero’s masterpiece is a continuous, unfolding meditation, and an immediate expression of his travels in higher realms. It shows how the primal principle, the source of all being—knowing and love—descends instant by instant into the phenomenal world. He writes from the very stream of being, into which his work invites us, and poses a challenge: will we learn to experience the processes of consciousness, or will we rest in their products? As with the texts of all true spiritual masters, Scaligero’s words must be savored and contemplated in order to extract the nectar of wisdom contained in them.

[Giacomo Mantani]

Meritate cinque stelle per:

L'uomo non deve creare lo Spirito, che già È, ma solo vincere ciò che gli impedisce di essere da questo riempito. Il suo compito è di eliminare ogni contenuto che sia finzione dello Spirito. Il Logos può creare nel mondo solo per virtù dell'uomo Libero. Tutto può essere donato all'uomo, tranne una cosa: la sua libertà, che deve essere solo un suo atto.

[Tamás]

He is one of my favourite thinkers. I also like his book about living thinking (Trattato del pensiero vivente).
