Vittorio Mazzucconi
THE JOURNEY (a Life, Works and Thoughts)

Synopsis

The Journey is an autobiography, but it goes beyond the story of a life, rich and interesting, to ask the questions that are in the heart of each of us as to the meaning of life: where we come from, where we go, and above all: " who we are? ... more >





Vittorio Mazzucconi
THE RETURN TO ONESELF

Synopsis

After writing "THE JOURNEY", the idea of a "Return” was spontaneously born in the author, even though it was not clear at first what return would be: not sure on the memories of a life already mentioned in the first book. Perhaps those of a previous life, or the return on life in a later incarnation? Or, through these and other countless stages, the long path of return to the indestructible origin, destiny and sense of everything? Our life is part of this journey ... more >





Vittorio Mazzucconi
THE INNER MIRROR

Synopsis

To the mirror, or to the image that is reflected there, is usually associated an idea of ephemeral appearance, illusion, or vanity. In fact, it has a fundamental function in the evolution of man, as seen in the child when he recognizes his image in the mirror, while animals, except for a type of baboon, are unable to do so. The subject that is reflected and could previously see just one object, understands that this is himself. With the development of the mind, which is also a mirror, this game between subject and object becomes increasingly complex, developing what is called "reflection". The inner mirror of which the book talks but opens another perspective: it does not reflect as much the face or thoughts as the soul. ... more >





Vittorio Mazzucconi
THE SECRET FRIEND

Synopsis

It is an inner conversation with which, beyond the little ego, one is addressing himself to the Self, the much higher spiritual being who is precisely the secret friend that manifests himself in our center. The perception of an orientation which thefore is born is precisely that towards this being and the vision that it opens up, with the knowledge and the new consciousness of how to act in the world. more >





Vittorio Mazzucconi
THE SOURCE AND THE STAR

Synopsis

The source, the river that springs, the sea to which it comes, its evaporation in the sky, the rain that descends on the ground, feeding a new spring: this is the cycle of water and, in its image, that of everything else. In the book it is also read as the equally cyclical path of our life, from the birth with which it begins, to the river of the following existence, to the sea we come to with death, to the return of the soul to the womb of being, and the following new descent on earth with the birth of a new life. more >





Vittorio Mazzucconi
THE GOLD HEAD

Synopsis

While the former book, the Secret Friend, was a dialogue with itself, though on a much higher level than that of the little ego - was a dialogue with the Self - this is a dialogue with death, born of an experience in which it appeared close. But what do you encounter in this situation? The Self itself, if our soul has gained its awareness and is able to recognize it, as the Tibetans call upon to recognize the "clear light" at the point of death. The soul is in this case liberated from the cycle of births and deaths and can ascend to eternal life, as it would be to get out of the rotation of the earth to ascend to the sun; only that the soul sun will not be in heaven but in its center. more >





Vittorio Mazzucconi
THE WITNESS

Synopsis

The book begins with a small journey and the thoughts that come to mind in the author, while sitting on the train. They may touch on anything but the old traveler, who is not far from the end of life, is led to reflect on the meaning of this and his own identity: "Who am I?" He asks ... more >
