Recognize yourself within your shadow, without feeling oppressed by its dominion.

Whenever I read my writings, with the incomparable measure of Michelangelo satisfied by David, through the power of the reason that bows in the face of sensitivity, I am pushed by a strange force in a frenzy of mutual possession. Between the feeling of safety and that of seizure and control of another world, in a broader universe.

The resorting to space and time, that only the victory of a certain ideal, of a certain "next level" in thinking can bring, slipping in small details in the most authentic of expressions denoting not only beautiful things, but rather my admiration for the pure values that hold within them true knowledge, is an extreme measure. Which claims to prolong my horizons.

Between matter and non-matter, which the fabrication and collapse of a world always pretend something other than that something spread up until now, a sort of cooperation between two transposed matrixes, having the same rank, one of the affirmation of the positive nature of alteration, and the other of the subjection of my negative nature, there exists a tension, a certain ration and a certain temperature.

Everything lights up in a surprising incandescence, similar to the fire that once heated, is hard to extinguish. Each line, each word, each expression is a part of me, measured through the power of possession of an abstract force that goes beyond me through a saving connection with what seems so different in me.

How do you see yourself in association with a “Myself” marked by a high degree of customization of the 100% revealing image that asks for its right to assert sovereignty in the double of a reality that goes beyond the immediate?

A man heads off in search of himself. Passing through Regent’s Park, he is greeted by a shadow, his shadow. After a long conversation, like between two equal parts, identical or similar, like between two creations obtained from the same matter, which can be easily confused for one another, the shadow suddenly disappears. Take it from where it’s not. Desperate, the man heads off in search of the shadow, for it appears to be the half of himself that interests him most. Having reached a quieter corner, somewhere at the edge of the park, the shadow suddenly reappeared. Then, the man recognized himself.

The idea to write, spreading between phrases projections of my spiritual states, stated and uttered only by comparison with a man who heads off in search of himself, seemed to me so natural and so fitting to my status of a researcher, that I find it hard to believe needs suggesting. A 100% revealing image is the result of viewing a life experience experienced in reading a book signed “Myself”, from which you choose only that fragment that contains the force of penetration into the depth of the character that has never been heard, that character that allows you to truly adjust your performance of the individuality that is not affected by finitude.

Thus, I can project what no one else has and dared not do before me, a unique thing for the scientific study of the human impossible: that of recognizing myself in my shadow, without feeling myself oppressed by its dominion. This, from a necessity of straying from myself and going closer to what I seek if I would go a little farther from the initially established set point.

Do you battle the victory of a "next level" that involves the reality of the fact that you might not have the courage to jump over your shadow?

One of the elements that make up the essence of your being, in correlation with the leadership that participates in all signals of changing horizons of meaning that you accept as an obligation in the extension of the freedom of consciousness and choice of the path to follow in life, is the necessity of getting close to what you seek if you would go a little farther from the initially established set point.

The shadow represents the process of self-discovery, resulting from that search that gains a grand character through the fact that it proposes as a new ideal of existence your union with your double, through the force of revelation of a different reality. The shadow is that part of you, measured through the power of possession of an abstract force that surpasses you through a saving connection with what seems to be so different in you.

In this case, you are not what you think you are when you focus on what you lack in order to be fulfilled. It is rather what happens to you when you focus on what you seek to catch up to: that part of you that comes from outside of you and manages to convince you of your authenticity.

What comes from outside of you, always remaining in the perimeter of consciousness, is the sensation of a closeness to something you believe in, very present in certain situations, unable to be ignored, which makes you think, attracts you through the very elements of meaning that define your existence and help you move forward through the "hopscotch" of your evolution.

The double of a reality that surpasses the immediate is associated with maximizing the impact of the rare image, belonging to a screenwriter who impresses each time with the power to transform into the character he plays in real life.

Each change of direction, each "a little farther" you achieve towards discovering the pure values that hold within them true knowledge, without condemning the failure of certain events or the contest of unfavorable circumstances that can affect your course, brings you close to a self that is determined to not let itself be defeated by encountered difficulties.

To battle the victory of a "next level" in painting an evolution that has the search for an Alter-Ego in the foreground, ceaselessly working to conquer a truth of which you know nothing about yet, is more an attitude of the one who understood that only by willingly exaggerating his image, the importance of his identity, can acquire a certain power. The power of rising above what you are not.

The power of being someone else has as its main stake the support of the individuality that responds in a metaphysical world, by the fact that what motivates you is the attainment of a unique experience, above the reality of the finite existence.

The Shadow is the strong reaction of a man in perpetual search for himself, who applies to himself the law according to which you can only penetrate the mysteries of the inner world if you confuse yourself with a different reality, with a new image, with a different role, with a different personality… or even with the Universe and its elements.

But without persisting in a state of illusion, in a confusing situation.
