how this book was born and my idea of a book
I wanted to take stock of where I had arrived with my spiritual research, or even just with my journey, and share how useful it would come out.
I had my NY travel diary, too short to be a book and too long to be a story. So I made it part of a text that it meshed with perfectly. It was the right choice since synchronicity was his nature. Synchronicity is also in the vibration of the book, there are those who read it and found it between the external events and those narrated.
The book for me is an ideal formula of lightness, usefulness and discovery of truth. Among the amusing folds of more or less probable but not impossible facts, it contains something to improve the life of the reader. Here I have disseminated valuable information for health, given the poisons we are surrounded by, and for research. I stayed still for almost a year because the final reference on this was missing. I didn't find my inner landing place in anything official which, with its own unicum of information, made it usable to others as well, and even to myself, wanting to extend what I felt I had arrived at. When I found it in Seth's books, I was able to finish the book. The third type of sharing concerns historical-geographical mystifications, because one cannot make a journey of inner truth ignoring the external one, without knowing at least a part of what this wonderful planet hides.
How the site was born
The book was born, from unspeakable moments and forever imprinted in me. Their strength is unmatched and cannot be contained in a book, but a book can pay homage to this. Then the expansion into photos, reflections, platforms that extend access to the book and to what made it possible: the relationship with the Spirit and the communication between those who ask and those who answer, or simply between those who live. Each of us experiences the Spirit in a different way, I was asked to give this testimony by the very contact of special days and it comes from my deep desire to remain connected to those moments, a sort of luminous pact that one does not forget whatever happens next. An answer greater than any question, an uncontainable, indescribable answer, but which nevertheless can fill many other pages with itself.
In this book the protagonists investigate reality at 360 degrees, from what they put on the shopping cart to the options that remain for mankind: two things not so unconnected. When you start digging you never stop, and indeed the more you dig the more you find and so you go deeper and deeper, or higher: my works are born from this. This is the first landed in an ideal airport where books intersect with who writes them, who reads them, who inspires them.. a Free Company to conquer its own sky.
The book does not yet have an English translation, so I hope this airport will become an international one.
The beginning
incipit
One day
I leaned against the counter and looked at all the colors behind the barman. I had never seen so many colored bottles in one place, maybe it was the light from that beach that made them shine like this. But I really couldn't take my eyes off it. The sound of the sea came lightly from the white deserted beach. The barman looked at me with two eyes that seemed to come from that water, just a little darker but just as inviting.
«What do you want in your cocktail?».
There was everything behind him. I could have chosen anything.
«Energy, Love and Freedom». I replied.
«Excellent choice, and to what extent?».
«In equal parts, I think» I said.
«Then you want the house cocktail. Your favorite fruit goes on top».
I watched him mix those three ingredients up to fill the glass wich beaded with a light layer of frost. The thick glass only made those colors more inviting, which remained partly on their own but also moved towards each other, giving life to unexpected gradations. It seemed that that dosage had the power to give a particular life to what made it up. I reached out and before drinking I felt my thirst, human thirst, and the long journey it had made.

Synopsis
With an inquisitive spirit and in the name of a widespread awareness of which every human being is a part, Prani and Porter venture into the concreteness of foods and cities, understood as living schemes. Prani's diary in NY is a loving dialogue studded with answers from the most diverse faces. The search for genuineness in what they eat will lead to the discovery of as many hidden truths about poisons usually placed or "hidden in evidence" to which no one pays attention. The last dialogues, increasingly "purified", will bring both into the metaphysics of the differences between spiritual visions, observing the perceptions had both in relation to these and as indications of a "final" investigation which in reality is not such, and takes place in a continuous dialogue between reality and the human psyche that outlines it.
Story
How many levels does an investigation have? the protagonist, whom everyone calls Prani, begins as a child to read mystery books and continues to "grown up" to observe every phenomenon of reality with the eye of one who seeks a hidden truth. The complete truth for her is made up of various ingredients to be brought together as in an elusive ideal recipe. So he investigates those that constitute his reality: the quality of the food, the spiritual threads for his personal flying carpet, the perceptions. These become synchronic and turn into a diary-dialogue with the city when the past, left behind in the wake of the plane that took her to New York, ceases to interfere. A new life begins among the tulips of Oregon, she meets her pen friend Porter, owner of an organic café, and the characters that revolve around her: the magical clog maker Vincent, the loyal maids Janine & Jeanette. She and Porter have just begun the search for the new recipe, when the legacy of three mines breaks into everyday life. The two friends set off to explore them, while a black car overlooks the misty roads they will have to travel. Prani, sure it's a killer car, prepares for a journey that takes them to an unexpected environment, full of discoveries but also more or less real dangers. Prani succeeds, also thanks to the NY diary, in preventing them, while Porter meets her love. Leaving the mines, however, Porter will not be able to remember anything, despite having a tangible legacy. After many new organic dishes, the two friends will allow themselves a long vacation at the other end of the country, among beauties that bear the austere imprint of Indian chiefs and settlers. The last day will be decisive: Prani will discover the ineffable recipe and a precious piece in her personal research, while a charming young man will enter the lobby of the B&B they are leaving, bringing pending answers and a new, big question ..
Biographical note
I was born in the Tuscan province and I express the value of this land with an interest in art and architecture (degree in industrial design). With writing, I illustrate realities beyond time or alternative realities. By combining the portrait of the human figure with inner research, works are born that observe man in the scenario of his evolution and of a universe ready to correspond to him if an adequate language is used, but also full of false myths and hidden historical, social, spiritual truths , which hold him as if in a cocoon. My interest in radionics and dowsing is reflected in the final map/scheme of the book.
