"Creativity is Consciousness making love to your mind."
Davide De Angelis
 

My Name is Davide De Angelis and I’m very happy that you have arrived here.

My heart-felt intention is that your visit to this website will lead to a beautiful and creative transformation in how you experience your life - how you create things in your life - how you love and how you play with life.

It’s really no secret that life is becoming ever-more complex and increasingly unmanageable for countless numbers of people. So many live in a constant state of anxiety, caused, as I have come to see, by a false belief that the stories woven together by thoughts are true; that this stream of thoughts tells us something fundamentally true about life.

From what I have come to see, the inability to fully enjoy life and simply flow and create with the ever-changing landscape of reality emanates from just one belief: the belief that the very strong sense of ‘self’, which seems to sit centre stage in all the stories which appear in the mind, is who we are.

For me there is nothing wrong with this 'contrived' self. There is no need for this to go away. In fact I see that this very heightened sense of self can indeed facilitate an incredible intimacy, discreetness and variety through which a living body and mind can be experienced.

However the problems arise when we are identified AS this seemingly real ‘thing’ we call ME. When our minds are orbiting solely around this sense of being the separate self woven out of thoughts, the fact that what we’re perceiving reality through, is actually a contrived way of experiencing, is not seen.

It is not seen that what we unquestionably take to be true is a re-presentation of reality. It is not seen that what we call ‘me’ is a constant stream of phenomena: a verb instead of a noun.

With our attention fixed only in the one viewpoint of this limited ‘self’, and immersed in the stories it tells, we never see how this re-presentation only ever offers a very limited number of possibilities.

Moreover, we can never entertain being free of the unpleasant effects of so many of our thoughts, because the very thing we take to be who we are, is a thought. And no matter how much we may work on creating a better self through personal development, therapy or spiritual practices, we are always left with a limited viewpoint: this self can never transcend itself: a mental process cannot transcend a mental process (no matter how hard it may try).

When we have what may be described as an ‘awakening’ experience this contrived 'me' becomes transparent: its false presentation becomes obvious. It could be said that ‘awakening’ is always present for us all and it is simply being shielded or distorted by a sense of everything pertaining to a constructed ‘me’.

Sometimes a greater slice of reality slips between the cracks and we are gifted a glimpse of our true nature.There is a vibrant sense of well-being at the core. it's possible to re-cognise that this is all that's ever really present even as we are being pounded by the waves of anxious (and mostly ridiculous) thoughts.

However for the most part, the mind, unimaginably vast and mysterious, seldom entertains its own nature because it is always looking at reality through the lens of this false ‘me’ travelling through time and space.

And yet we instinctively know on a deep level that what we take to be real from the perspective of self is not real. We feel its ultimate unreliability as a system, and the more our attention and faith are placed in something unreliable, the greater our anxiety. Ultimately our lives are played out trying to stabilise something that by its very nature is unstable.

Our lives tend to reflect what our attention and faith are placed in. We find ourselves afraid of life and afraid of death, afraid to live fully expressed, tolerating and managing life from the perspective that there is always something waiting to bring us crashing down.

I'm interested and deeply passionate about helping you see and live the ever-dynamic adventure in which you can directly explore the possibility of freeing your energy from that one contrived viewpoint: basically broadening your focus.

As we explore together a process unfolds where your faith begins to rest in what is totally and unquestionably reliable, always and forever. As this grows and develops you live and explore from a vaster spectrum of reality, where you are brought face to face with the rich infusion of possibilities living in your direct experience of life.

You are alive in a radically different way.

This is my wish for you!
