Eventually the universe conspired and I could get two tickets for the Aviles event thanks to a fairy called Paula ;). Evenmore, I was really pleased when the theatre workers showed me the place where i had to sit down. I had Paulo just one metre from me, behind the stage (the chair and table where he sat was just over the hedge of the stage). It was very special for me and I really got the inner message and feel the powerful peace that Paulo gives to the people. Thanks for all, I´ve never ever doubt again about the universe conspiracy :) Dear Paul from Austria,

I do not remember everything just some images and some things. There was a strange place, and the statue made of stone of an angel. The statue was about the same size of a human being. This angel made of stone was in a place like a big garden, and he was very sad. Big wings, sad face, long robe and, his hands. His hands were in her Heart. I think the statue was crying. Like if the statue were not alive. Then someone, I think it was a child went to his father holding a few pictures in his hands and he gave the pictures to his father (who was in charge of something) They were pictures of the angel and the father said: "No tenemos por qué pintarlo tan feo" (we do not need to show him (the angel, the stone statue of the angel) so bad or ugly). Then, they looked at the inmóvil statue. The father said to the boy he was sad because he did something wrong, that´s why he was crying and looked so sad with his hands crossed over an alive heart. He said something about he (the angel) was given certain knowledge ... El árbol del Bien y del Mal if I remember well. The father mentioned the name "Lucifer" and, when he said that name, all of a sudden, the inmovil statue was touched with a quick glimpse of life. Like if the angel (good or bad, I don´t know) had awaken. Then I saw the angel flying, acroos a small town, between humans. At the same time. And I don´t know if he was a good angel or a bad one; all I know is that, when I awoke this morning, again, I was so scared. To feel protected, I said in a loud voice: "Por favor, Arcángel San Miguel, protégeme". Then I heard a voice within me asking me something, like a small promise to be protected from that "bad" angel. HE asked me to stop going to a blog I have been visiting. And I promised Him to do so. But I love the person who has been writing for the Universe. I Love the Spirit. I don´t understand why I cannot visit that place anymore, but I have promised. However, I can remember his words and his touch. I hope to see him again. Maybe in another place, under another picture. If the angel made something "bad", that was done for Love. And we have already paid for that. Even "Evil" wants to be Forgiven. *** When I woke up again, I saw my guardian angel sat closed to my bed, in front of the window. So beautiful. At the moment I woke up, I saw Him, and the Light was iluminating Him from the window :). Then He looked to the direction of the Light. I can see His face. He stood patiently there, waiting for me. This time, I got up and the fear was gone. This morning I had a strange dream.

I read the book 4 times over that weekend. Then I searched out my battered copy of The Alchemist. I have had it for many, many years and have read it numerous times. But the lessons were lost to me for a long time. For the last 3 months I have been trying to live a better existence. But as it says, when you have been sleeping a long time, it is only right to wake slowly. I look forward to refinding my path and learning to live and love again. It is a slow process and I have already faced a number of challenges but with perseverance, I anticipate I will succeed. Thank you so much for your writings and providing the inspiration to try so much harder in living a good and full life.

I really liked and Im sure you´ll like it too. Specially the big pic of you. You look stunning. I saw at the lobby a civil servant just checking names and giving tickets for your public interview at the teatro Palacio Valdés but she said that all was reserved and It was impossible to give me just 2. It was a very sad moment for me, and surely It will be next friday knowing that you´re in my city but burocracy did not want to be there. I looked at the words written next to me in the room "Cuando deseas algo con todas tus fuerzas, el universo conspira para que lo consigas"(When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.), I wish the universe could conspire for this. Enjoy your visit in Asturias, my thoughts will be with you. Raquel- Dear Paulo,

I've read five of your books and I just need more because is nice to see that another person can share my ideas and my way of thinking. I must say that I don't agree with everything the writer inside you says in those books maybe because I don't have enough experience, but they (the books) came to me in o period of time in witch I was (and I still am) searching for...myself. I found in them some kind of guide, some kind of wisdom and I must thank you for that. I feel a lot of joy because I could write to you and because you'll probably read my words. I wish you great inspiration and inner peace. Respectfully, Mihaela :) Dear Paulo,
I am from Romania and I just want to share my happy thoughts with you. I’ve read five of your books and I just need more because is nice to see that another person can share my ideas and my way of thinking.

I must say that I don’t agree with everything the writer inside you says in those books maybe because I don’t have enough experience, but they (the books) came to me in o period of time in witch I was (and I still am) searching for…myself. I found in them some kind of guide, some kind of wisdom and I must thank you for that.

I feel a lot of joy because I could write to you and because you’ll probably read my words.

I wish you great inspiration and inner peace.

Respectfully, Mihaela :)

I read it a few years ago and reread it at least once a year. I recommend it to everyone I know and now I give them this link while they wait for their printed copy. I agree with some of you who mentioned that this should be one of the books you should read before you die and I will add that everyone should read it before finishing high school. It will make an excellent graduation gift. Thanks Paulo, Clary http://clary.wordpress.com http://clarylopez.com Dear Paulo,

Well, I honestly thought that your book was too simple to be told, too easy to catch the story. After finishing Veronica, I have to confess. I WAS SO SO WRONG!!!! At the first glance, your book has simple words to make people understand BUT those simple words are really strong and deep in meaning. I've become your huge fans and been addicted to. Your books are on my first list when I am on book-shopping. You are great! Inspirational! you are man of the year! Salut!!! I read The Alchemist after Veronica Decides to Die.
