At this point, all readers from blog/myspace/facebook have been selected. We have another 10 in stand by for the following reasons
1 – some of them need visas. We cannot help in getting it, but they are struggling to solve this problem.
2 – some still need to confirm if they can take a few days off work.
3 – some of them still need to know if they can find accomodation in Paris.
I am going to send to the 10 stand by an email specifying that they may be selected, although this is not granted.
As for all other readers, thank you very much for your warmth, and we may find another way to meet during the year (I am open to suggestions!!!)
Love
Paulo

Dear Yajna,
Remember, God always gives us second chance, if we worth giving.
I, myself, would never, ever, stop with what I love, even though I would not be invited.
I would never stop loving.
Love defines us, makes us better, always.
I believe that if something is meant to be, it will happen, at this special, peculiar moment, your moment.
Miracles happen, if not today, some day.
We never know, that's the point.
You don't expect God to show all the beauty, in order for you to love Him.
You love, you trust.
He knows better, always,
because He loves every one of us.
lots of love
Agnieszka
Dearest Paulo,
I’m not very sure if you will get this, because i’m commenting on a fairly old post. I just thought i’d share something with you. Its amazing how life turns out, sometimes we (forgive my french) bitch and moan about certain disappointments, and as time continues we see that these disappointments turns out to be for the best.
The way my life has changed now, i see that coming to your party would be nearly impossible, well, if i did, it would be at a great expense (not just financially) and truthfully i think it would have been far worse for me to turn down that offer (had i been asked)). So sir, i’m here to say thank you, ironically enough, for not inviting me. However, i am glad i stirred up something here a bit, i did learn alot, and i am glad that you are thinking about ways to meet more fans. If i can help with any planning in the future, just let me know, i’d love to help anyone meet you (even if its not me) because i know what it feels like to be in this position, and i do have some organising abilities.
I truely admire you, not just for your work, but the way you carry yourself as a celebrity. You use your resources for good, and you do not see yourself above others (fans specifically), more so you try to accomodate your fans. I hope that you do not think less of me for challenging you earlier as i may have sounded somewhat ungrateful (which was not my intention).
Do take care,
Thank you for being,
Yajna
Siamek,
Do you have the means to pack up and leave your home and country and get out into the world?
To look at the world through other’s eyes might help you also. Take the time to heal, don’t punish yourself. Don’t worry if you are not Brilliant at something. I think what is more important is how what you do affects others. You may in some small way help others with what you do.

Dearest Siamak,
I pray that you’re alive and healthy to read this. Firstly, i don’t believe that taking one’s life is in anyone’s blood. I can understand your depression, and the way you feel worthless as times because of your jobs but i don’t feel that you should give up and take your life- i feel that maybe you just haven’t figured out what you really love to do and what you’re very good at, and you certainly aren’t going to find it by killing yourself. Don’t kid yourself thinking that because you’re unsure of what you believe in or what your good at is reason in enough to end your life! Its not! Do you realise what you will do to your parents, and the people who love you? Do you realise that by harming yourself you are harming them as well? Killing them inside? I know just how bad it can be, i lost a someone who was a brother to me and God knows it still kills me inside everyday.
I know a very fair amount about the muslim religion, and i know that especially in a muslim society, living in it and not believing in it is very harsh on an individual- especially when it comes to parents as well. So i can not begin to imagine the problems you’ve had just by stepping out of the daily rituals. It is also a very strict religion, that an islamic person has to live in without questioning it. It takes courage to say, i don’t believe in that, especially in your society and the fact that you started searching around in other religions to find your truth shows that you did make an effort to try. But why did you stop? Why are you giving up? I don’t understand. Can you honestly say that you’ve looked at all the religions or even beliefs of spirituality to find God and have not found it? Really do you think you’ve done EVERYTHING? I don’t believe you have. Let me tell you a secret: most people don’t know what they want in life, or what or who God is. But they do know, that somewhere, somehow something exists, and if they don’t, they believe in themselves and who they are. Most people spend their lives discovering what exactly it is for them to do, what they are good at and what they love. Change your life if you’re pressured- try do somethin you like. Don’t give up just because you are lost. Don’t be so stupid, and don’t hurt the people you love like that. And as for Paulo’s work- i don’t know what you mean by a chemical reaction in your body? I’m studying to be a doctor and i know about the body fairly but i believe in Paulo’s work. I believe in the secret as carmen mention, and i’m in a staunch religion but i believe in love, and life is worth living, and it is. My friend, rethink yourself, you’re not trapped, THERE IS ALWAYS A CHOICE, TRY. TRY to live, and search. Be positive and we’ll all talk about things here. Come and share your worries and problems with someone you can trust, and if you don’t want to, come talk here but please don’t end your life. Its so precious. And if you wait, you’ll see just how much. One last thing, life’s not as bad as it seems, you proved it to yourself- you thought your story got deleted but infact in didn’t. You let fear and hurt get the best of you, when really there was only good and you didn’t see it. Have you ever thought that maybe you looking at your life like that?
Lots of love
Yajna

see you in another world ( if there is an another world)[/quote]
Dear Siamak,
the only advice I can give you is to go (or call) at once to someone you know and tell him or her about your thoughts. You will be surprised that there are people next to you that will understand you and can help you. You never are alone with your problems, everybody knows someone who is prepared to lend an ear – dare to go out and believe it is true.
Of course you crisis will not be over soon, but for the moment you are sitting in a dark tunnel and you see no way out, but also a little bit of light will help you to find a new point of orientation.
What do you exspect of comitting suicide? Do you think this way you can punish yourself for the hate you feel inside?
Or punish those people you are thinking of they don’t love you?
Time is healing wounds and especially when you are still young you will have a lot of chances in front – even if you are not willing to believe this yet!
If there is a God or not – life itsself is a present you should not throw away!
P.S. You just need to feel loved and understood, dear Siamak! :-) You need attention and care to find the power of healing in yourself. There are encouragements from virtual friends above and hopefully they will be the ignition to light your fire of Love inside your heart! You are not alone, we are never alone, but we often don’t feel God’s protection because we forget how to love, to share the joy of living with the others, we should never underestimate the power of collectivity!
Hopefully these suggestions will be useful… For me, meditation at Sahaja Yoga did wonders in my life to transform it for the better and the book “the Secret” by Rhonda Byrne is also great
. But to have a positive attitude and to maintain it all the time, or at least most of time, you should believe in God, the others and yourself and feel Love and Gratitude in your heart forever!
You have problems, indeed but things can be worse, don’t forget that… That’s why, the forces of good should be in our hearts, minds and lives forever, to protect us even from ourselves!
We are the product of our past, of our past attitude and thoughts, and the future will be the result of our present mentality and attitude. Our lives are the products of our merits and we should accept that, instead of blaming only others and circumstances. We are the designers of our lives and it depends on us what we draw every day…
May God bless the whole world with lots of affection and purity! :-)
