In The Zahir, Mikhail, Esther’s mysterious friend, conducts evenings during which audience members share their relationship experiences. Often these ‘confessions’ consist of nothing more than a small detail. How do you think such observations are important in trying to reach an understanding of love?
God (and the Devil) lives in the details. So does love and hate.





The details are not truely important …… not as much as the experience.
Love is being able to let your loved one follow his/her own path while you are following yours, and knowing that the both will be there regardless.
No Expectation, No Ego, No Attachment to Love ….. that’s beneficial!

Ahora si, no entendía cuando decías que el Diablo está en los detalles porque yo veía a Dios en ellos entonces ahora si entiendo como en todo nos encontramos con la dualidad.
Un beso.

Hi Paulo,
How do you get to ask a question on your page? My question would be ” What are your thoughts on viewing spirituality as all love, joy, compassion, positivity, acceptance, openess, intuition and creativity?”. I would see this as a massive achievement as a result of an ardous quest, but some would seem to think if you don’t start out with these attributes you are not on a spiritual path.

Very important because they help break the myth about what is and isn’t love.Too often romantic love seems the real true way.If people share it halves a problem.Tis good to tell and give new layers to the energy of social history.

Yes, some things might be comprehend in smallness, others in largeness. And a grain a sand is the beginning of a dune.

If I know the good and the evil: I can choose
= If I know the taste of the good and if I know the taste of the evil: I can choose
As a child in front of a tray of food, he will eat what his heart will have chosen (he will choose such thing and not such the other one)
A CHOICE OF FOOD FOR A LIFE
si je connais le bien et le mal : je peux choisir
= si je connais le goût du bien et si je connais le goût du mal : je peux choisir
comme un enfant devant un plateau de nourriture , il mangera ce que son coeur aura choisi( il choisira telle chose et non telle autre )
UN CHOIX DE NOURRITURE POUR UNE VIE

A glance, a small word, a delicate touch like butterfly’s passing may bring complete happiness and endless dreaming. A glimpse behind the veil.
A careless gesture, a hard word, a revealed ..evil intention and egoism will show Devil’s presence in our ‘beloved’s soul’. Then there is nothing to … repair the already formed ..decision for running away and closing the … petals of the Rose!
Small details make a …. piece of art a master piece.
LOVE,
Thelma

Exchange the experiences, yes Paulo, but not everything:
1) If the child receives too much information just like that, then his(her) spirit can be in the mist (and crush his(her,its) understanding, even divert it)
But exchange bit by bit, and reveal in due course / maybe
But exchange: certainly
2) Exchange the lived experiences = become aware = pay also attention on our close relations and consequences of certain revelations
Do we have to exchange any experiences? I do not know?
échanger les expériences , oui Paulo , mais pas tout :
1 )si l’enfant reçoit trop d’informations d’un coup , alors son esprit peut être dans la brume ( et broyer sa compréhension , voire la dévier )
mais échanger petit à petit , et révéler en temps voulu / peut-être
mais échanger : certainement
2)échanger les expériences vécues = prendre conscience = faire aussi attention à nos proches et des conséquences de certaines révélations
doit-on échanger toutes expériences ? je ne sais pas ?

A song / a French singer called ” Big sick body ” (because handicaped) / some sung words: ” the love and his half sister the hatred… ”
= A choice of life to cultivate the check in us ( Believer, not believer, any religion, any philosophy, just the being )
une chanson / un chanteur français appelé ” Grand corps malade ” ( car handicapé …) / quelques mots chantés : “…l’amour et sa demie soeur la haine …”
= Un choix de vie de cultiver le bon en nous( croyant , non croyant , toute religion , toute philosophie , juste l’être )

I read again a passage of the Bible, so important today (to read): Jean / ” the followers of the world ” 15 and 16 in ” Passovers of the lamb of God ”
( After 20 years of absence with the church, the return in front of writings of the Bible is impressive for me!!!)
je relis un passage de la bible , si important aujourd’hui ( à lire ) : Jean /”les disciples du monde” 15 et 16 dans “LA pâques de l’agneau de Dieu ”
( après 20 ans d’absence auprès de l’église , le retour face aux écritures de la bible est impressionnant pour moi ! ! ! )

I think the evil is inside human beings, everything in the universe (nature) is good.
