"The 'I' that we each say we are cannot be the 'I, ' except in living thinking--still unknown to us. We know only the 'already-thought, ' or reflected thought, but we are unaware of how we know it. First, we must think in order to know our own thought; but we do not know thinking." --Massimo Scaligero

This treatise, though logically formulated and accessible, proposes a task that few can probably actualize. Its thoughts are assembled so that retracing them becomes the proposed experience. This experience, insofar as it is realized, is not merely one of many possibilities, but an experience of our inner essence, which the spirit demands of us at the present time.

"True thinking cannot be the "already-thought," or reflected thought, and, as reflected, fixed in words. Nor can it be thought reflecting itself, or in the act, however conditioned it is by the form of its self-expression. True thinking is logically the being of thought, unconnected to any determined thought."

The treatise cannot be refuted philosophically, since it is based on a kind of experience that must be achieved if we wish to have a means by which to question it. However, those who are able to achieve it begin to live within a thinking that penetrates the world. It is the thinking that is the truth of all theories and of none, because it is their pre-dialectical substance.

By experiencing the thoughts presented, we can experience the power of "concentration," or the tangible presence of the spirit--the path of living thinking, the transcendence present but not cognized in each thought that we think.

Scaligero, Massimo: - Massimo Scaligero (1906-1980) was born Antonio Scabelloni in Veroli (Frosinone), Italy. He was a contemporary Italian spiritual master who has drank deeply from both Western and Eastern traditions. By direct experience, he was equally at home with Western philosophy and psychology, Western esotericism (Rosicrucianism, Templarism, and Anthroposophy) and Eastern meditative practices (Zen and Tibetan Buddhism). He was the author of numerous books, including (in Italian, untranslated): The Way of the Solar Will; Immortal Love; Yoga, Meditation, Magic; From Yoga to the Rose Cross; Practical Manual of Meditation; The Logos and the New Mysteries; Psychotherapy; Techniques of Inner Concentration; Healing with Thinking; Meditation and Miracles; Thinking as Antimaterialism; Western Kundalini; Isis Sophia; and Zen and Logos.Bisbocci, Eric L.: - Eric Bisbocci has traveled to more than eighty countries in his life, experiencing their cultures and spiritual manifestations. As well as having studied Anthroposophy for more than thirty-five years, he received an advanced degree in Romance Languages with a focus on Italian literature. He has translated several books by the Italian anthroposophist, Massimo Scaligero. His first book is on the esoteric nature of Dante's Divine Comedy and its relationship to Anthroposophy and reflects his lifelong passion for Dantean thought.
