Reflections of the Warrior of the Light – The right speed

By Paulo Coelho

A warrior of the light needs patience and speed at the same time. The two greatest faults of a strategy are: acting too soon, or allowing an opportunity to slip too far away.

In order to avoid this, the warrior deals with each situation as if it were unique, and does not apply formulas, paradigms or the opinions of others.

“I never became involved in anything, without first studying a retreat; conversely, I have never embarked on something and wanted to abandon it immediately,” was his reply.

Today’s Question by Aart Hilal

Why do you attempt in your book 11 Minutes to undermine the shining image of sex that is being sold to mankind as part of a global PR company to promote carnal pleasures?

Sex has nothing to do with what they try to promote; it has to do with a soul and a body contacting another body and soul.

Quote of the Day

By Paulo Coelho

Wherever you want to see the face of God,
you will see it.

Reflections of the Warrior of the Light – The right time

By Paulo Coelho

A warrior of the light is never rushed. Time works in his favor; he learns to dominate impatience, and avoid unplanned actions.

Walking slowly, he notes the firmness of his steps. He knows that he takes part in a decisive moment in the history of humanity, and must change himself before changing the world. This is why he recalls the words of Lanza del Vasto: “a revolution takes time to take hold”.

A warrior of the light never picks fruit before it is ripe.
