How it all started …

Every book I write is born of a profound urgency within me, a strong desire to find "a solution" to a "problem" that haunts me. When I was 25, I decided to start competing at a competitive level in the discipline of "competitive aerobics", a VERY demanding discipline both from the point of view of not only physical resistance, but also isometric strength (teams), choreography and... flexibility. At the time having no artistic gymnastics base, on the contrary to most of my competitors (then I participated in national competitions both in "Team" and in the "single male" category). Since, unfortunately, I was not physically prepared and at the level of those who had an athletic and technical background much superior to mine, I began to study in the medical libraries of a famous Roman University, "the secret" to developing a degree of remarkable flexibility, in spite of age. I was then able to find this "holy grail" of stretching among the "creases" of physiological and medical sports experimentation to which, fortunately, I had ample access.

Apart from the fact that I did not achieve any truly remarkable results in the competitions in which I participated, in any case I developed not only great flexibility at an age in which, generally, we are already considered "old", but above all I developed a degree of specific knowledge and "field experience" (after some injuries, tears and blood), which led me to write my first book "Power Flex Stretching - The secrets of Super Flexibility", in which I reveal an innovative way to stretch which is not only "counterintuitive" to what was commonly accepted and spread then (like relaxed stretching), but which guaranteed me remarkable results in a short time and, I want to reiterate, at an age which was no longer so "tender".   

This technique, called "isometric stretching" is the jewel in the crown of this, my first book, which is now available both in Italian and in English.

Necessity makes virtue…

After that period of crazy training, enormous fatigue and constant pains all over my body, due to exhausting training and following the publication of my first book, I began to pursue my passion for the study of Vision phenomena, since due to the hours and hours spent studying on the books of the classical high school first, and then on the texts of the scientific journals of physiology and sports medicine, I was gradually losing my ability to focus on long distances, becoming more and more myopic .

This did not give me peace, I could not understand and passively accept the how and why I was losing this innate ability, which I had always had from an early age, to see the world in all its extraordinary sharpness and beauty.

Once again, driven by a strong inner urgency, often furrowed by a strong sense of frustration of not clearly seeing a friend who gives you a nod from afar, but always deeply confident that there was "a way" of training and training for the view, I dived once more with "a double pike jump" into the study of muscle physiology (of which I had already developed a considerable degree of knowledge, thanks to studies on muscular flexibility carried out for the previous book). I then went on to the study of the physiology of "seeing" and sifting through scientific studies and expensive optometry books, purchased at my expense, which could provide me with a way out of that visual fog that increasingly obscured my soul.

Also this time, just as if it were the happy ending at the end of a fairy tale, or the intervention of a squadron of cavalry when one is tired and ready to succumb in battle, I came across the Optometric phenomenon of the "Defocus retinicus", which together with the stretching of the eye muscles, constitutes one of the two pillars of the system that I have called "The Power Vision System”, from which the book "How I Healed From Myopia - Without Glasses, Contact Lenses and Surgery" was born. At the time of writing, it came out in its eighth language of translation (Polish, translated by the spirit of sacrifice of one of my mother-tongue Polish readers, who, sensing the importance of the message and technique contained in this book, has wished to be able to spread it also in their country of origin.

Moral of the story: the often tortuous and tiring path that led me to the birth of this my second book, represents "the proven proof" of the saying that "necessity makes virtue", and that we must learn from our shortcomings to catapult us beyond the obstacle. Each obstacle can represent an opportunity to make a difference in one's life and, often, also in that of others…

The Power of your Vision…

In the following years I became more and more fascinated by phenomena such as "synchronicity" and the innate ability that exists in every man and woman to shape and create our material reality. I became increasingly aware that there is a precise correspondence between our inner selves and the "outer" world. I often became disconcerted and surprised to see how things in which I believed (or did not believe) deeply within me, presented themselves when I least expected it, indeed, just when I had forgotten them in the recesses of my conscience and abandoned all willpower and determination to reach them. I could not fail to notice the subtle cause and effect that linked what I had internalized in my imagination and how much more I saw myself coming "packed and ready as a gift to be discarded".

This is where my passion was born in the study, research and experimentation of the immaterial Force that governs every individual and every being in our world. Far from having understood the true reality of what quantum physics has only recently begun to understand as non-random but based factors of consciousness phenomena and beyond, I wrote a small manual in which I describe my point of view on the Power (and I would add: duty) that everyone has to follow his own Vision of life and achieve all that he profoundly aspires to. Not a work on will and discipline, but a work on the emotions, the expectations and the whole submerged part of our unconscious that I call "script", as if it were an unconscious program on which we operate our actions and life choices, also if we are not aware of it.

The fruit of my passion, study and personal experimentation is found in the book "The Power of Your Vision - Manifest what you want with the Power of the Imagination of the Intention". Aware that this "tangential departure" from the arguments I had treated so far in my books, or physiology and optometry, could have undermined my credibility as a serious independent researcher, I decided to publish it under a pseudonym, David J. Mayer. After a few years of "anonymity" I decided to take back the ownership of this book, which I wrote more with heart and soul than with mind and "discipline." To this day I still haven't regretted it. I feel inside of me that someone, somewhere that has read the information I have contained there, has received a bit of "balm for their soul" and that, above all, is following their own intimate vision of life, the one for which is really born and that is making them live and evolve under a new and renewed sense of life, and in all respects, even the material ones.

I don't feel like proving anything to anyone, every book I create is the sincere fruit of passion and obsession, aimed at solving a problem that has haunted me and whose solution I am happy to share in it…
