Hmmm,those leaders…Are quite impressive their portrays.Roosevelt?oh.But Hitler,really he was so disciplined,vegetarian?
Well,they are human beings.Is not necessarily that a leader is better than others,at least not in appearence,but,still,they have something that make others follow them.They understand how to talk to others,what people desires,expectations.Maybe they find easily the others weak points.Who knows?Well,sheep follow the donkey.Is donkey much better than the sheep?
Folk generally is like sheep.
Dear çigarra,
Yes love of course. And what was His without his sacrifice? I guess, each one of us live the history that conveys the most, to what we call our own truth.
I agree with you, churches are hearts, and bells their beats. Someowherein, well hidden, a composer writes an ever melody.
Thank you & good night.
Dear Candie,
I don’t know. Or I read here and there about the winter solstice, and the Taurus/bull sacrifice. The cult of Mythra. As for the 25th.
For his astrologic sign, I don’t have a clue, dear.
Since I was told he was born the 4 of april five years before himself. Or the 6th. Anyway. What importance in real? Anyone could tell its own vision. There might be so many.
Though we can deny Religions and applications tend to open questions. Some people are seeking, ohters not. That’s life.
I think the best way to know is to ask Him. :) If it the question you would like to.
have a good night.
Yeah,çigarra I do know that.Thanks.I do know that the message of love is what matter the most but it doesn’t prevent me to ask myself some questions about his life and what kind of man he was,on a historic level and that shouldn’t be a problem.Don’t see why everything should be taboo all the time.But yeah,like you said,the message of love is important,I agree.
In that time Jesus was a priest of Sinedrium and all priests of his age were married…so?…
I seem not right to talk about his zodiac, Pisces or…how much is it important? every day we can celebrate his birthday! What has importance? not the sacrifice…for me…but the entire love that he gave to all without to discriminate. Jesus is an exemple to follow like others as he…church or no is a personal problem, I think that you can be received in paradise even if you don’t go in church…the important is how much you loved in your life.
A thought of light
Yes Catherine,contradictions,no questionning ect..
And why did they chose december 25th as his birth?According to some theory,Jesus was a Pisces.Well,like I said we don’t know anything about his life only like you said we should shut up and believe.
I think the Vatican would excommuniate me now,lol.
Dear Candie,
Indeed we don’t know about Jesus. I guess, we believe in or not. What is surprising me is some things: First, according to the 4th commandment, one shouldn’t create and self prostrate before god’s images. Then why all those images and statues in churches? Then a rabbi is banned to have long hair. And Jesus is represented always with hair like that, though he was told to be a rabbi.
Lastly, his name. How should I pray for a great man without knowing his real name? Jesus is not his.
That’s all that surprises me, and maybe why I always had difficulties to name it and believe fondly in him. Though I’m sure those kind of persons did exist. My behaviour is quite strange towards that man. In my heart, I believe in him, but not under that name, and not within churches. Though I spent three months going back to church last winter, I quitted again, because of all those statues and representations. Now it seems the Vaticano itself does not obey to the commandments. That’s it! And indeed in life, how many catholics are against jews…
As for me, I couldn’t say if that man existed, and I guess one has to believe to discover he’s alive. As for angels, and God Itself: we don’t believe in God, once we know it exists. I guess, we believe in It and then we appreciate Its true existence. But anyway, as for me, I don’t know for Jesus, but I’m sure he’s one of those great persons that accompany humans to grow better, whatever their names. As God has got four letters to be named in each culture, we don’t really know in real.
Of course, maybe it’s just about a fairy tale. Because we could think about many men that lived and died as Jesus. That’s why I prefer to call him the “sacrified Son”, as to include the image of those high avatar’s souls that inhabited the spiritual and long path. Maybe the man we unjustly call Jesus, is the copy of ancient stories, even history teachers won’t tell us about.
An example: “FOU-HI first chinese mythic emperor from semi-historic Times (3468 B.C) He was a white emperor, told as “Child of the Sky”, his mother HOA-SSE (waited flower), having conceived him without father, by “the process of the sky”.” Le paradis perdu de Mu, Louis-Claude Vincent. He was meant to have the same life. The same for Mithra, Horus, Krishna, …
It’s curious to notice the Vatican killed people as they were pagans, using a pagan history to represent the alcove of its belief, as to Jesus… But with the Vatican, one has to belief, and that’s all. Not questionning… Indeed, the time we do, we discover strange contradictions, and then our faith could become null and void. So we have to believe and that’s all. :)
With gratitude,
Catherine.
Hum,I don’t want to make ennemies but what do we really know about Jesus life?I mean in history?Really?I see Jesus as a great man who wanted to change things in society and in the world and who was crucified cause he was disturbing and people don’t like changes.Some came after like Martin Luther King and many more like Jesus.About miracles,I believe he had some power as an healer perhaps medium too and didn’t know what it was cause at that time,you can imagine,everything was heresy!Even now so..they don’t see the scientific side of it,yes they do start actually to try to find the scientific explanation in being a medium though.Then when he died they wrote many stories and everyone has his version.Miracles were of course exaggerated,”the fairy tale side”,then a new religion created cause if I remember well Jesus was a Jew and then church cut many things and kept what they wanted us to believe.Must be so many other writings and stuff we didn’t find yet,or they kept away maybe.But what do we know really?Did he talk about buildings?About priests who can’t get married and have any kids?(I never understood that as for me it isn’t natural cause sex is something natural)Was he married?Did he have kids?Who knows?That’s my point of view and thank you for let us express ourselves on your blog Mr Coelho.
Good night
U’re right Alexandra. The sacrified Son represents the perfect imago. Though he drank wine dear. :)
Well,leaders.They are really all that way?No one was really strong or pure?I am sure there are examples.But,the strongest was one,Jesus Christ.He was not using drugs,nor smoking,nor been lust.Am I right?He is the best leader.The one that sacrificed himself for the others.
Nobody is completed , perfect
And God loves all the people, all.
The most difficult for us, I believe: it is to love us such as we are, each of us; eh yes we are human!! We are not completed, ” I the first one ” (it is what I often say to my son Paul) but it is necessary to try, and the most important BE .
Never lie, and especially ever fool itself, and make, and love, still love
Will you believe it when he will say to you ” come, am I, I need you ”
you are so looking forward to a very particular profile (of your reason) that I wonder if we know again how to listen to his(her) heart, and to have the child’s eyes to see and recognize, and have his(her) child’s ears to understand and recognize
you will be to leave everything to follow your dream? You even, and not what will be to be you for what we wait or that
Difficult to listen to XXI ème century ” God spoke to me, and said to me “.
I met the apostle Jean and….
The angels came to look for me for…
I have a message for…
I need you…
I feel that I must be alone, but with you
Agree to place it on the angular stone to make the link between 2 worlds, and the world is – it loan?
Let us be we ready to hear(understand) that they needs to love itself all and to make it?
Let us be we ready to act or to react?
Let us be we ready to follow, to engage(start) us without fear and in the faith?
Do the men(people) deserve to receive your Word, will throw back(reject) it – they once again?
Let us be we ready to know the invisible?
Let us can understand(include) and know how to remove the veil in front of our eyes?
Are the dreams are only ideas which delight the heart, and of which we have difficulty realizing?
Shall be to BE we and to LIVE to be able to one day cross(spend) our small deaths towards the TRUE LIFE?
Can it we, really want it we, shall be we present to say ” yes, that your will is made “, with our uncertainties, With our imperfections, with our errors, with our doubts, with our certainties, with our men’s souls
The key is in our heart.
The love for the love of the soul of the world.
The love just for the love in the PLEASURE to love and to give
HOPE : LOVE : FAITH IN OUR WORLD : PEACE IN OUR HEART
Sido and for the others who are near us ….with us ….and for Him
Thank You!
I never concidered to be called a warrior or light – I thought, and still think, it must be a holy way to live. I never really knew exactly what You meant by it, either. But now You have described it – thank You!
I am not the average believer (of God), but I believe there is something out there, guarding us, offering us opportunities, letting us grow in mind and spirit.
Since I am not the average believer, I didn’t think I was worthy to even think of myself as a Warrior of Light, but after reading Your description of it, I could concider accepting, that possibly, I am. Why? Because I live by those ‘rules’, views of life, I have, for some years now. But as all, we make mistakes, we feel down, we, for a second, lose hope. But not for long, soon we will stand up again and start walking towards the light. We never give up and we will always keep evolving.
My little confession.
Love from Estonia,
Liina L.
That made a big impression on my mind. It reminded me about my own search for my Spiritual Guide. There are many qualities that qualified Spiritual Guide should possess but for me the most important is his good heart. If this is lacking the most inspiring leader is not able to end suffering of his followers and I think our search for happiness is the main reason for looking for the person who can guide us. I was lucky enough to meet the person with beautiful, pure good heart but maybe not always the behavior that others would expect from him. Unfortunately his pure love for others and dedication to others was not enough. People thought that their leader should have immaculate behavior and so he was dismissed. I think that it was the sign that people forgot why they have their leader and where they want him to take them. They forgot that their destination was happiness and that it can be found only in their own heart. For me this person was already there. He discovered real source of happiness and he was able to show others how to get there, but unfortunately that was forgotten. For me that is the real sign of degeneration of our times – that people are so caught up in the outer appearance and do not appreciate inner wealth.
But I didn’t want it to sound so pessimistic! I know that there are many Warriors of Light that will change this world and no matter how much time they will feel that they failed, eventually they will rise because real Warriors of Light never give up!
Ca fait du bien de lire ces lignes. Merci.
Sufficiency.A good Master serves people.(God washes the feet of men)A good leader is always looking for servants.Both get very busy till a certain day.On day “X”,people,following the Master,start to serve others-leaderfollowers will look for servants,to be served.When you don’t need “servants”-”the key decision” will be yours,otherwise it will become “the burning coal” in hands of leaders’ hierarchy.
Hitler=leader, leader=warrior of light, Hitler=warrior of light???
:)Chiaramente mi va di giocare…
sono tornata da un sit in al quale ho partecipato vestita da fantasma…il motivo? A Settembre non potrò più esercitare la professione d’insegnante a causa di una manovra politica finanziaria, i leaders fanno tagli sul lavoro, io sono già morta per loro e con me nel mio Paese migliaia di altri. La Scuola spero non diverrà mai un’Istituzione privata finanziata dalle Imprese nazionali…ma questa è la politica dei leaders in Italia, sono pronta per la battaglia…forse sono in ritardo…ma non posso esimermi…
Dear Paulo Coelho,
I call you ‘dear’ because I have always found you to be speaking my heart (especially when I cannot)since the time I read ‘The Alchemist’, 6 years back.
This issue of WoL is again well timed (I already see an echo of that with one of the previous commentators). I think at a time when we are looking for answers to the hardships–economic, societal, spiritual and clinging on to people whom we think can give us the asnwers but who are often disappointing us, this message is really required. For the answers lie in each one of us, only if we look within.
Thanks and all the best for ‘the winner stands alone’
Hola –
Es curioso mi idioma nativo es el español, sin embargo, siempre he opinado escribiendo en el idioma Inglés, pienso que es un idioma que todos pueden dominar mejor.
Con relación al tema de liderazgo, esta mañana estuve leyendo un libro títulado La Paradoja escrito por James Hunter que nos dice que Liderazgo implica sacrificio y el que más se sacrifica es el que tiene un mayor liderazgo. También, que Intenciones – menos acciones es = igual a cortedad, entonces, cuando las intenciones mas + acciones es = igual a una persona consecuente, constante y ecuanime. Esto es independiente a su condición de su vida personal, sin embargo, Jesus Cristo fue y seguirá siendo un gran Líder, porque actuó según sus intenciones y se mantuvo ecuanime, constante y consecuente en su actuar. Por otro lado, en esta semana he retomado la lectura antes de salir hacia el trabajo de el manual del Guerrero de la Luz, ese es otro tema y me parece muy real lo que leo en el manual. Pero hemos estado confundidos en lo siguiente con relación a Jesús Cristo, porque quién dice que Jesus no fue también un gerrero de la luz que tuvo dudas sobre su destino y caminos durante su vida, pero la historia y lo que hemos leído la biblia, nos dice que su fin último fue no caer bajo la tentación de Lucifer. Pero eso no quiere decir que el tuvo una familia, mujer, hijos y que es probable que esa generación o árbol genealógico esté disparcido por el mundo, llenos de ADN de quién, es y continuará siendo un Líder Jesús Cristo. Soy católica, creo en Dios, sin embargo, esta parte humana de Jesús nunca la mencionan, porque un Lider lo han visto siempre como alguién que da la persepción de ser brillante, único, intocable, perfecto. No estoy de acuerdo con esto, tenemos que ser honesto, el fue un hombre como todos los somos, de ahi viene que los hombres siempre han tenído una superioridad frente a las mujeres, sobre todo con las posiciones de alto mando, inclusive si una mujer está laborando en un puesto con el mismo nivel que de un hombre el salario devengando es menor si fuera mujer, esta desigualdad ha sido cultivada por paradigmas erróneos.
Un Abrazo a todos, y continuaré entrando y opinando en este blog.

Every human being is a Star. We all have inside us the sparkle of Light. We all have our creative imagination and our dreams. We are not alone. Sometimes we may feel lost. We are not. God is inside us and we are inside him. He knows what and how we feel and to His hands we put our hopes, our lives and our existence. We will never be disappointed. He always answers to our ..calls. For HIM we are never a .. missed call. ;]
LOVE,
Thelma
Thank you Mr Coelho,it clears it a little bit.I have never found myself but I will manage I know.We are so many in that case I tend to forget.I’ve seen some people around me being so desperate by my behaviour nd my indecisions sometimes,but it’s like that.I like so many different things and I know I’m able to do many things too.But I know I have this dark side when I don’t finish what I have started because I stop believing and I go for something else.Then I get tired cause I use my strentgh badly,I disperse myself.But yeah I know I will manage.I feel less alone all of a sudden but I know I never was..really alone.
