This Book - The School for Gods

This Book
This book is a map and an escape plan.
Its aim is to show you the path followed by an ordinary man away from a
hypnotic view of the world, from an accusing and plaintive interpretation of
existence, to escape the rut of a programmed destiny.
This book would never have come to be, nor could I have written a single
line, had I not encountered the Dreamer and His teachings.
I owe my infinite gratitude to the Dreamer for having taken me by the hand
into the world of the “dream”, into the world of courage and flawlessness,
where time and death do not exist and where wealth knows neither “thieves
nor decay”.
On this journey back to the Essence, I have had to abandon so much dead
weight: mediocre thoughts, negative emotions, second hand beliefs and
ideas. I have had to “conquer myself”. I have had to acknowledge and
challenge the darkest parts of my being.
All that we see, touch and feel, reality in all its variety, is nothing more than
the projection of an invisible universe which exists above our world and
which is the true origin of it.

With great difficulty, we can be aware of being surrounded by invisibility, of
living in a world which has its source in dreams, where all that counts and is
real in a man is invisible.
All our thoughts, feelings and fantasies are invisible. Our hopes, ambitions,
secrets, fears and doubts and all our sensations, attractions, desires,
aversions, loves and discords belong to the impalpable but very real world of
being.
The invisible is not something metaphysical, poetic or mythical, nor is it
mysterious, secret or supernatural; it is not a stable part of the world of
phenomena and events, of categories of elements of reality. In every epoch,
the change of one period to another, of the intellectual climate, the use of
increasingly sophisticated instruments, constantly alter its confines making
even larger parts of what was invisible in the past the subject of legitimate
scientific research today.
This book is the story of the “rebirth” of a common man who is the epitome
of a fallen, defeated Humanity. His journey back to the essence is a new
exodus in search of lost integrity.
The first thing one needs to be aware of to make this journey is one’s own
condition of enslavement.
The root, the primary cause of all the world’s problems, from the endemic
poverty of vast regions of the planet to criminality and war, is that Humanity
thinks and feels negatively.
Negative emotions rule the world we know. They are unreal and yet they
occupy every corner of our life. In order to change man’s destiny, he needs to
change his psychology, his system of convictions and beliefs. He needs to
eradicate from deep within himself the tyranny of his fragile, mortal,
conflictual mentality. The planet’s most terrible illness is not cancer or Aids,
but man’s conflictual thinking. This is the foundation upon which the
ordinary vision of the world is built: the real planetary killer.
The direction indicated to us by the Dreamer is both terrible and wonderful,
difficult and joyful, but as necessary as the journey made by the salmon,

eturning upstream against the current.
At first, His philosophy appeared to me to be a transgression of the natural
laws that govern all of Humanity; however it showed itself to be envisaged
and desired by the universal order of things and represents the highest vision
of that order.
The book is the story of years of study and preparation spent alongside an
“extraordinary being”. From Him, I received as a gift the most unbelievable
task: the creation of a planetary “School”, a University without boundaries.
I’ve dreamed of an Individual Revolution
Capable of overturning the mental paradigms of the old Humanity
And freeing it for ever from its conflictuality,
From doubt, fear, pain.
I’ve dreamed of a School that teaches
A new generation of leaders
To harmonize the old apparent antagonisms:
Economy and ethics, action and contemplation,
Financial power and love.
Growing and changing before my eyes, like a being in gestation, day after
day, “The School for Gods” was being built, as I was building myself. To all
appearances, I was writing this book, but in fact it had always existed.
The Dreamer’s laws, and His ideas, are always tearing at me from the inside,
and still remain, for the most part, misunderstood.
Like Prometheus, I have seized a fragment of the Dreamer’s world and hold it
tightly so as to give it one day to men and women who, like me, want to
abandon the hellish circles of ordinariness.
Once I believed that writing, and above all teaching, were the truest form of
giving. I know now that teaching is only a stratagem to know oneself, to
discover one’s own incompleteness and heal it.
“One can only teach if one doesn’t know ‐ said the Dreamer ‐ Those who
truly know don’t teach!”.

“What we have “learned”, what we truly “possess”, cannot be transferred”.
“Happiness, wealth, knowledge, will and love, cannot be acquired from the
outside, cannot be “given” but only… “remembered”. They are the
inalienable gifts of being, and therefore, the natural inheritance of every man.
No political, religious or philosophical system can change society from the
outside. Only an individual revolution, a psychological rebirth, a healing of
the being, man by man, cell by cell, will lead us towards planetary well‐being,
towards a more intelligent, truer, happier civilisation”.
In recounting the lessons I learned from the Dreamer I have deliberately
avoided including episodes, events and revelations which might go beyond
the reader’s acceptance, referring only to those that, while “revolutionary”,
seemed to me to be within the grasp of humanity in its present state.
