Clarity is honesty born into thinking.\" -- \u003cb\u003eMassimo Scaligero\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScaligero'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?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Light (La luce)\u003c\/i\u003e is a translation from Italian of the book \u003ci\u003eLa luce.
