Today’s Question by Aart Hilal

You wrote that you even dabbled in black magic. What brought you out of it?
 
It is written in the book: I was dealing with forces that I was not familiar with, and with total irresponsibility. But God is merciful, and gave me a tough lesson.

    I would have never believed, if I didn’t read Paulo’s book - “Valkyries”.
    This is something that you just cannot imagine it exists.
    Maybe because it’s so scary, so out of the blue, you think it only happens in horror movies.

    I know one thing I would never try anything of this kind, even if I would not believe.
    Something inside me tells me - never do it,
    and I am so grateful for that.

    I think that if you really believe in God, you never, ever even think about it.

    I am sorry for You Paulo, that You had to experience that.
    But maybe ,You wouldn’t be such a Great Man if it didn’t happen to You.
    May God be with You always!

    lots of love

    Mr. Coelho, no disrespect, but you seem to be someone who needs to learn through experience. Like the child who touches the fire. This is why I’m sure you point out that different people take different paths to enlightenment.

    This one puzzles me the most: Paulo claiming to be a magician, yet sustaining the notion that there is actually a branch of magic that could be called “black”, that the Devil is God’s opponent.

    To me, this seems so far from the Understanding of the Magus that I must conclude that he is deliberately upholding this illusion.

    Why? Well, that’s the tricky question…
    Only you know, Paulo.

    Dear Paulo,

    One more thought came to my mind, which I heard a while ago:

    God let the evil to show up in our lives…,
    cause only then we can go back to Him, we would want it so much, that nothing else would matter, not even our own life.

    A.V.C. - I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying. Are you saying there is no evil?

    Dear Kathleen,

    Tell me about it and I will forget, show it to me and I will remember, let me do it and I will understand.

    For me, nobody, even the magician would want “to play” with the evil and loose his soul.
    There are paths that just not worth to enter.
    Don’t you think ???

    love

    Dearest Wizard of thought,

    As I walk trough this world, I have days in which I think I know my purpose and days in which I meet it and discover that was not it. There are the days in which society tells me I am missing my life for not meeting norm A by age of 25 and norm B by 35, and days when the society is not so sure that those norms is all that matters.

    I’m meeting people who think they have a right to judge me, either trough a set of lenses or another. There are days in which I get tired to see so many people who will share my presence at a concert or a meal only if I love or hate their Jesus. As if afraid of what I might influence them with if I am not “on their team”. I get constantly interrogated by people who try to place me in a category, usually either with them or against them. Choosing to believe in the value of people and of life, even when they fail you, instead of doctrines that protect you from such failures seems to come with a price of loneliness.

    But every now and than, when I open your mind, either trough a book, or a blog, or an interview, feels like I’m putting on my favorite pair of glasses. Trough these lenses unicorns are not horsefied to fit in, and are allowed to be unicorns, people do not discard people based on doctrines, love does not have to have rules and there is no demanded recipe for true enlightenment.

    Thank you for sharing bits and pieces of your journey, such as this one. They all played a part towards who you became today, and I am sure they all played a part in creating the gifts you are giving us in each of your works. Beyond beauty of mind and hope in every shape and form, your writings make me feel that I am not alone in my journey.

    Respectfully,
    Anlao

    dear friends
    demonds as gods are within not without - soon that we realize that there are non and fast come the realization of emptiness which is key for liberation.

    Dear Anlao,

    Life is life, and people are people.
    I have similar feelings sometimes, but still I love life, I love people.
    Everything comes and goes.
    We’re a part of this world whether we fit into it or not, we should accept it, it helps.
    More, these strugles makes life more interesting, help us become stronger, wiser, better.
    If everybody was as we are, we would never have to think.
    So look at the bright side and see these people, these situations also as a journey, journey to better You, to better world.
    Remember that when they meet You, they also are forced to think, to feel something, to struggle, even if at the first moment they think, that they are right.
    Everything, and everyone we touch changes somehow.
    So, be the warrior of light and go on fighting, go on struggling, go on dreaming, go on living, go on smiling whenever you can.
    Who knows, maybe some day the impossible happen, the miracle, and you’ll see the change.

    lots of love

    Hi,

    I have been in bed for a long time. i couldn’t get up. I was trying though.

    In order to find strenght I was tring to think positive thoughts, opening the book I am reading at random (several times), thinking again positive thoughts (positive thoughts are things that can give you more than enough Light and Joy to get out of bed and sadness (or depression or whatever). But nothing, I simply couldn’t get out of bed.

    Finally, even with my depression or sadnesss or whatever (I mean without energy) I manage, very slowly and without an sign of Joy, to go to the kitchen.

    I wanted (I was very hungry) to cook something nice; something different. And that dream brought me something Good (the taste of a delicious meal).

    But then, once in the kitchen, I did realize that the olive oil (I cannot cook without my olive oil)was finished ( yesterday or two days ago).

    “Mierda”- I thought. “There is no olive oil” -I said looking around the kitchen (well it’s not my kitchen; is the kitchen of the man I am living with).
    “So then, bye to my new and deliciuos food. Bye to something really nice”. Then, at that very moment, I saw something that could be a solution: a couple of little bottles of something chinesse (the man I am living with did put them on the kitchen) that looked like oil 9not olive oil but at least sesam (or somehting like that) oil.

    But this man (his life) has been paralised for a long, long time. And all his things (included the dates of the food (and bottles of sesam oil etc.) was past its sell-by date so, before cooking with the oil of that bottle, I decided to have a look of the date.

    then I saw the date of one of the small bottles:

    It was 06-06-06. 666.

    I stayed looking trough the window with the bottle in m hand. Just thinking.

    Then, I picked up the other bottle. And it was the same: 06-06-06.

    ***

    His depression is gone (thank God because I love him. SO much) since I came (he has drink almost all my blood till the point I cannot get out of bed). But … I need to get out of here.

    Inbal,

    from my own experience I’ve found that the key for liberation lies in you, although not from realising those chains don’t exist, they do, but from realising you posses the strength to brake free. The tricky part might be learning what is light and what is dark.

    LOVE,

    Sun

    The matrix can kill you … yeah Dafni sound comment. Yet, is that the real reality? Or a veil? But what’s light will find the light and overcome any darkness. It breaths in lower vibrations, fear, etc whereas the other in higher ones, love, etc., the higher ones are always much stronger. Good luck. And remember to laugh it off, LOL LOL LOL like we all do. —Remember the titans hon—

    Hugs,
