También estoy agradecida porque vivimos en la misma época(en la que existe internet:)) Muchos besos P.D. He leido alguna vez, no sé donde(en tú pagina web, creo), que dijiste que no aceptas discípulos, de ninguna manera. Pero, en alguna manera estás haciendolo a través internet. Gracias por tu amor.

It´s about acting with an open heart and about focusing on responding to whatever happens with the heart open. This involves to act as conscious as possible, as loving as possible, as daring as possible. To seek to do whatever one is called to do in one´s heart, no matter even if one´s life is at stake. As I´m learning, being a Warrior(ess) is so much about overcoming ourselves, our wars inside, the emotions that can drown us, the thoughts that can carry us away. So that we might learn to carry peace, love, light into whatever happens in our lives. Also so we can be still inside and remember what is is we dream of doing here. When we learn to heal ourselves and to be whole, we carry that with us whereever we are and are able to help shift whatever is going on by being present. Darkness is overcome by turning on the light. When we dare to stand for love, we inspire others to remember which world we can create together - here. Not in some fantasy, but now. As I see it we live in a fantastic time where a global amount of people are being Warriors and Warrioress´, opening their hearts, realizing they are love and learning to dare to act loving. Whatever happend with us as children or otherwise in our past is there for us to learn - and to choose: What can I do with this? What can I learn from this? How can I heal it? What is it in my life for? There are I believe, answers to those questions. They are inside of us when we ask them. My experience in my work and in my life is that in these years we are all in each our ways being asked: Do you dare? Being a Warrior(ess) is also about meditating, being still, asking and listening.Choosing adn acting. We experience the world and our life through our selves, our feelings, our body, our thoughts, our energy. When we heal our selves, we heal our perception of the world and the way we live in it.

Due to this, many of us, very many of us.....are not really free.....Perhaps you dear Paulo, are one of the few...?

We do consider consequences before action, and as for changing the world it begins in each person's intention to change themselves. And admitting that there are things one could learn to do/ be better is the bravest step a warrior need take. Love xxxx Hi unpersuaded

And admitting that there are things one could learn to do/ be better

To live life in constant war , combating all the evil around seems to me like fighting with windmills , that's something determined to hopeless failure and leading only to higher embiterment caused by awareness of helplessness. Who is so naive to believe he may change world? Assertions about neccessity to act no matter what would be consequences, only to promote your will or wishes, sounds to me quite strangely. Instead of thinking first about your potential deeds only to act and wonder about results? That's quite reliable recipe for disasters.

As all human beings we have moments of ups and downs, moments of energy and lack of it, depends on circumstances. Of course as you Paulo wrote in “The Manual” every warrior has those moments, every warrior has also moments when he needs to rest or think something over, and of course...the moment of action. And when it comes, he is brave even if he might have some fears inside, because whatever happens, if he fought with all his heart, he will win anyway, because he fought. Whatever happens, he will always have this light, this love, that will be even greater because of the good fight he had fought. love Agnieszka The warrior spirit…I like that…but not easy to put in action.
