Although you didn’t like the compulsiveness of the religious practice, that you have known ever since you were a child, something happened, in your youth, when you decided to reconsider your attitude. I know that you have never revealed the identity of that man who must have been the one that brought about the change I was speaking about. However I insist, by asking you: was it not one of those rare meetings with a warrior of light?
The warrior of the light, who can change your life, is everywhere. It may be a taxi driver, a person that you met by chance in the bus, if you are attentive to the signs - this person, even if you never see him/her again, will give you the right input to take the decisions that you are postponing. Therefore, all we need is to be attentive to signs and open to people.
Instinctively I feel the same as you Paulo, life generally is working on your behalf to help you follow your path.
Sometimes though I struggle to reconcile my belief in life with any belief in religon or God. I cant see any religon that exists today that works in tandem with the life as it is? I probably have not read enough and wonder whether there is something specific I should read that would help me?
I think the difficulty is that I have an instintive belief in life but I cant see it in any visual way, I know what God and Jesus, Buddha are supposed to look like but not my God - the God of life that is.
Did anyone face a similar problem or was it never an issue for you?
I want to say that I just believe in life and that it has no structure other than the rules of life (and randomness) but that makes me feel as though I am completely alone believeing in something that no one else does!
It has taken me some time to add this question to this blog and I apologise in advance if it is not appropriate.
Kind Regards

That is you believe in the miracles hidden in an simple thing.I agree,and I think really we must be opened,in order not to pass without noticing a thing that might change our life:e.g. not pass near a book written by Paulo Coelho without reading it,would be great mistake.bye
That’s true. I met a lot in my life. Sometimes, as if they were sent by angels. Aren’t they angels? Maybe, as life does that I never saw them again… :)
It can but make me think, afterwards, that it is useless wishing them…They arrive and stay there to light us, the time’s needed. Signs are their coat.
Today, i met a beautiful person, and it was the woman that sold some kind of jewelery in the street next to the train station…
life is beautiful, when you see the signs..because you understand that the skies protect you…
I was in Le Mans, France, last weekend and I hadn’t been to any race for 22 years since professionally racing myself. Something drew me to travel there, and on the train form Paris to Le Mans I was assigned a seat next to a very big man. He took up all of his seat and part of mine, but behind there were 4 vacant seats so I just sat down there. I somehow had the urge to talk to the man but he didn’t turn around and he was reading car & plane magazines in the Czech language. I had a notion that he was an important man, and funnily enough my horoscope for the week had suggested I would meet someone who could change my life, and I should be aware and take any opportunity as it arises. When we arrived in Le Mans we both took the same exit and he was picked up by a VIP limousine and taken to the race track. I learned that he was the sponsor of the one of the cars. I felt so bad afterwards, that my senses were not sharpened and that I did not try to communicate with him…who knows which path that might have led me on? And who knows when I will have another chance? Ce la Vie ? No, the universe was helping me to achieve my dream, and it is so important to live awake and responsive to all moments. Love, Paul
People and signs are everywhere ..we must pay attention to what God puts in front of us ,even if it is just one word a person says that you never see again ,or maybe you have an experience with seeing something that changes your life for ever ..what really matters is what we do with these signs or experiences /people ,having the courage to take action and follow on to change our views /beliefs and situations.Love Tania
Bhuddist Proverb: ‘When the student is ready, the teacher will appear’.
Be ready.
I think that ourselves is our God.In the way that that wr are life and life is Love, we are love. Buddha, God, ecc, were on earth to remind us the things and behaviuor we should have to appreciate nature and rejoin ourselves to the Whole.(nature and loving).

I agree entirely - thanks for your comment.
