An aleph, as Jorge Luis Borges tells us is "one of those points in space which contain all points", a "place where all places on earth exist without losing their identity and are seen from all angles". "To see the whole world in a single ray of sun" is the philosophical and mystical mirage of the ancients.
What conditions of meditation and reflection in our current drought do we need in order to come close to an 'aleph-experience' of the world and ourselves? That is, an experience capable of our enlightenment; the transformation of everyday life and our interaction with others; leading towards a peace founded on greatness?

Luigi Lombardi Vallauri
From 1970 he was the Professor of Legal Philosophy at the University of Florence. From 1976 to 1998 he taught at the Catholic University of Milan, from which he was dismissed for heterodoxy. From 1973 to 1977 he was Director of the Institute for Legal Documentation at the CNR in Florence. From 1996 to 2000 he was President of the Italian Society for Legal and Political Philosophy.
His studies span a wide range of historical, theoretical and philosophic-legal subjects. He has published numerous works including Terre. Terra del Nulla, Terra degli Uomini, Terra dell'Oltre (1989), Logos dell'Essere, Logos della Norma (1999) and Nera Luce (2001).  These are profound studies of the fundamentals of general and religious philosophy. He lays the foundations of a carefully considered and practiced mysticism which lies at the intersection between eastern spirituality and western science/art. In 1979 he set up, and continues to lead, meditation groups that explore the possibility of a contemplative life commensurate with modern knowledge.
