self as a universe
What if the universe you've been searching for was already inside you?
A collection of poetry and reflections where the personal becomes universal, self as a universe explores identity, conditioning, consciousness, love, and the journey back to yourself.
ISBN 9798199299367 · Author profile
I'm Mathilde De Luca, an author & speaker from France. I write and speak about the invisible structures that shape us: the roles we inherit, the stories we repeat, the fears we call intuition, the identities we build to be loved, accepted, or safe.
My work stands at the intersection of psychology, philosophy, lived experience and ancient wisdom. It is an invitation to make the unconscious conscious, and to walk from conditioning to freedom.
Former scientist, forever student, now exploring what it means to be human.
