A very large group of people is standing in the middle of the road, barring the way into Paradise … The warriors of light go in.

I hsve just bought “THE Manual of the Warrior of Light” in Greek, from my book-shop tenants. The owner was at the Book Exhibition. ‘Have you seen Paulo Coelho ??’I asked him. And he said: there was a long queue waiting to ask for autographs… So it was wise, dear Paul from Austria, that we did not decide to go there then! We would not have the chance even to .. look at his… eyes!

“… The warriors of Light, go in!” is said above. I wonder that it will be possible for any one to go in, leaving behind all our beloved people! I have read, somewhere that even if the Souls have reached the Light, the choice is always to come back and ‘incarnated’, just for Help and LOVE. We will never find peace unless all Souls have reached the Light. The chains cannnot be broken. We are ONE.
LOVE,
THELMA

angels? devils?
no

“a very large group of people is standing at the middle of the road”

Dear Mr. Coelho *kidding* you are reading mind *morekidding*

what do those people there?
looking for the leader…
where is the leader?
nobody knows
so the angels of the light must walk through them,
to lead them
and show them the way

angels and devils?
those are only at both sides of the way… and those who have the luck to fall at the side of the angels are lucky.
Those who take the hand of the devils? Lost.. forever
so…
those who only stand there..are blessed. Of course, a little bit stupid, cause they look at a star who isnt real. And the warriors have to go there, carefull so they dont push some people down.. cause then, they must jump after them, to take care of them. they must follow them even in the darkest hell and push them back from the devil who said: oh no.. those are now my souls…
and the warriors have to say then: No, sorry… it was only my mistake.. i must take him/her back there
and the devil: HA HA what do you think you are?
and the warrior: The one who kick you in your… and take back the soul

and the angels? they save the way back out of hell

Thats a way hm?

*kidding and kidding and kidding and crying too*

The devil often gives up on me, thank God – you always make me smile Heart. I hope the Devil does not stop trying though; we don’t want life to be too routine. Hears to a good life filled with adventure and love.

Ciao,

and the angel and the devil they are never apart just as they were never meant to be.It is our eyes,our soul and the sight of our hearts that decides which one to follow and what to overcome.

Well its good to be able to read the signs -first of all ,and also to be aware of fear -your own and other peoples -and also just to daily give yourself to God under Grace in the right way -and one other point -its good to balance oneself each day -so as not to be out of balance and react when things happen as they do in our lives .

The angel brings messages of truth and devil brings lies or falsehoods. The angel only help when it will show you a truth or allow you to experience a truth. The devil help as mean hide the truth or to forward a falsehood. So I imagine that day you want help and your angel or god does not do so, it show you a truth or for you to learn a truth. Whereas the devil helps you in a manner keeps you from the truth.

And some of them have to lead in order to pass through.

I rather agree with Jessica’s comment, which she posted yesterday.
I too have a great deal of difficulty conceiving of the Devil or Satan as a cohesive entity, apart from and wholly independent of God. If the world we live in is composed of light and shadow, then this light and shadow must be a characteristic inherent in its Creator as well. In other words, if God is “perfect” (i.e. all “good” and no “bad”) and God created everything in existence, then wherefrom did evil somehow seep into this creation?

No, I can’t swallow the dualistic view of a world divided right down the middle: good on one side, evil on the other, at least not in any oppositionary sense. I don’t believe that all creation is a battle between good and evil, God and Satan, with all human beings somehow stuck in the middle. There is indeed good and evil – there are choices to be made – but Satan is not an external entity acting upon us, bidding us and forever tempting us to do his will. Rather, the “Devil” is an impulse, one that resides within every human heart.

And, as Jessica says, I think fear has a lot to do with it. When we react in fear, rather than act out of love (or, in the case of our dreams and goals, when we freeze in fear rather than move forward in desire), then we are falling under sway of that devilish impulse. In this case, when both impulses arise from within us and sit upon the shoulder of our sword-arm, so to speak, then me must strive, above all, not to react in haste to whatever we perceive before us. We must not, in anger or in vengeance, draw our sword first and cut down the enemy. Rather, we must act, in simplicity and oneness of intent, from the light which resides in the depth of our heart. We must move forward, in love, seeing with ever fresh eyes the scene unfolding before us, taking each passing moment as it comes, as though it were our very first and our very last upon this earth. Then will the angelic impulse win out.

Love & Light!
Savita

Thank you all!
My dearest Paul from Austria, you are right! You had the courage to .. face the lions again! Your .. angel has guided you! You have faced aggressiveness with .. dignity. Evil has been defeated. Light has dissolved darkness!! A good paradigm for all of us!

Yes, they constantly are competing,

but I stay calm at peace because my Gardian Angel is ever present all around me

An angel and a devil are competing for our heart and soul? This is what it is all about. Life. A struggle between good and evil. How to separate the two? A mystery. Spend time searching our own conscience in a healthy way, without being scrupulous. However, only a supreme being, God only, can be the ultimate judge. So what are we doing trying to judge everybody else? Instead, concentrate on our own journey. Keep busy walking the good path. Then each one can be a shining star, others want to follow. The devil often gives up on me, thank God.

Even in the last minute before action, our hand has to be quided by the Light. To make the right .. angelic choice, in the name of love.

“The devil continues: “Let me help you.” And the angel says: “I will help you.”" – Warrior of the Light: A Manual [page 61] (had to look up the whole passage for refreshment, lol.)

At first after reading the whole passage I didn’t quite know what it all ment, for me it kinda of hit after thinking about it for a long while. It goes back to the ability man has to make his own decisions, choose his own path. Both the devil and the angel will be there through your whole path, your Personal Legend as you put it Sir (I rather like it that way and have adopted the saying.). The devil disguise itself as a companion offering his help you, he seeks to take advantage of the situation at hand, but he only ever offers his hand when you faulter. The angel on the other hand is always with you, it offers its hand when you truly are in need, but he has been at your side along the way, even though you may have not noticed or didn’t recognize the signs.

The angel and devil both speak the same words, one wishes to help you grow and test your courage and character of heart, while the other wishes to feed off your fears and see you fall.

Hmmm I think I wrote it out right but sometimes it is hard for me to put my thoughts on paper, I guess it takes practice. lol. If anything else comes to mind I’ll have to amend this post.

Have a great day all and enjoy the beauty all around.

-Matt
