I’m trying to learn how to listen to my heart, but I don’t know how.

Women are closer to God. That’s why Jesus in his via-crusis (his way to the cross) spoke little, but he spoke directly to the women. At the end in his final moments of agony on the cross, who was there but his mother and Mary Magdalene? John was there with them because women at that time could not walk the streets alone, or they would be considered prostitutes, so in a sense he was dragged by these powerful women :)

I think that women are straight connected to god, that is the difference between women and
men or myself.
Its very striking,i take as reference the
answers are mostly given by women about the
wisdoms of the warrior of light.
Thanks anyway for the answer

““When you follow your personal legend, the universe conspires to help you”

and universe also conspires to test you, universe also conspires to make you raise in your consiousness level. One thing common I have seen in many people who have been successful at their dreams is their enhanced consiosiness levels. for the universe you are more important than your dreams; paulo changed as he travelled along in his journey, he made ‘herculean’ efforts, and being a man of truth he was sincere. many a times, many a people may repeate the same tasks like say walking to road to santiago, but when the body is busy with the task, mind too needs to remain focused and open.

one of the reasons for the phenomenol success of alchemist was the phrase u quoted, we all want to believe that universe would help us, alchemist makes a romantic promise.

In response to your question the essence of The Alchemist resides in this phrase “When you follow your personal legend, the universe conspires to help you”

You first have to know what your personal legend is.

You know it, when what you’re doing feels right to you, if you feel yourself resistant to what you’re doing, then you’re not following your personal legend, because if you were, then it would feel right to you.

It also speaks of surrender. “Follow your heart”, but what does this mean? To me Saint Augustine said it best. “The heart is of God and for God and it will not rest until it returns to God” This means surrender your will to God. Surrender does not mean to give up. Don’t give up. Don’t give up your dreams, or your goals, do follow your personal legend, or destiny, or your dreams, whatever you want to call it, but once you know you’re in the right path, don’t let your will take over and don’t let your dream become an obsession, surrender your will to the will of God. This is the Universe rising up to meet you.

For your wise words , but i have a lot to learn
about the language of the heart.
I am a thinker that will be my problem.

Lots of love,

Following your heart, your destiny, your personal legend to find …your dream.
The journey of undiscovered winds, horizons, emotions, the journey of your life.
Where your dream is there is your heart.

Since yesterday and because of a friend, I wonder if God can make fun of us.

As for my friend, God could be the mirror of what we are: Good or mean.
As to me God is Love. And I considered that person had a lack of humility a bit.

As Castaneda said, I could tell my friend, that it was useless to talk about what God could be. But I admit his vision disturbed me a lot.

Despite of it, I had a moment later, while I did not know anything at all, and could perceive the world around differently. It just lasts a few seconds. of course, I could not describe… :))

I slept badly anyway.

I will be thankful

A journey is ending. A new journey is beginning. You are here. I am here. We are here. We are all here. But still this sadness, that somewhere there is somebody, some person who is dark in the world, whose light has not come through. Still some darkness there. Still some isolation. Still some feeling like I am not here yet.

Still some knowing that you are here. Still some knowledge of it being here. The ‘it’ one being the one only, the only one. Love is the only thing there. Be happy now. Love is the only thing there. Amen.

so that’s how u diffrentitate or say disntinguish ( a writers disntinguish is same as an engineers diffrentiate, is it !!) between dream and obsession !

if one is following one’s dreams then there is a contentment, heart is happy or at least not suffering !

while if something becomes an obsession, it becomes a source of suffering ! so, if i am suffering for something, it’s an obsession ! I hope longing for something is not included in list of sufferings.
