Often I am asked: are you a magician?
To which I always reply – of course I am a magician and I believe in magic. I also belong to an old tradition called RAM (that you can read in my book, The Pilgrimage).
Having said that, RAM or any secret orders don’t have hidden secrets. I think that the only hidden secret is the hidden power that you have inside of you.
Therefore I encourage you to talk about your hidden powers in his forum. To accept them, to tell us how you elaborated them and the difference they made in your life

HI
magic according to me is something which is beyond the understanding of each one of us. We may not be able to discover how it is supposed to work , but it works all the same and to the benefit of the practitioner. I know that it exists , and I had had my experiences with it, yet now i think that it was simply coincidence which happened to me and which happens to each one of us at some point in our lives. I do believe in its power but sometimes i doubt my belief since there is no explanation for something like magic.
My dear Paulo (i have to name you like this, you are so dear to my heart)I don’t have enough words to tell you how much i appreciate your work. Youre books makes me once more to be interested in magic. I think i have like many other people some magic inside of me. I did not find yet, a way to develop this “quality”, I try to rich in my country(Romania) RAM but…no hope. I decide to follow the technics described in youre journey in Compostella and it is great. But, now I need more… How can I find the right way?
The way finding what we call Magic,is really mysterious.The way is full of the unknown.
The paths are many and they do not always lead to the same point,though i think that God has spread magic into the world.He has created everything so we can learn more and more and go closer to Him and to what He has created.It is not going to be easy.You need to constantly look for it.And maybe you might do this for the rest of your life.There is a lot of truth hidden away from us.There is a lot of truth in front of us and there is also a lot of illusion and lie in front of us and hidden from us.So dear, you just have to look.Keep God by your side and walk.He will show you the real magic your heart desires.Read search,think,feel,move,take risks.Do not stop.
And trying to search for a Master for a while is not that much of a search.If there is no one in your country (and in mine too),if He/She is not there or here now, well,He/She might come in the future and at that time you might be more ready to accept Him/Her.These kind of things such as magic,have a magical timing too.The right time will come.Just keep the flame alive.Have faith.

Hello Mr. Coelho,
Since I was little girl my parents always tought me to be myself and that I was capable of doing or been anything I wanted to be, and I believed them. I was always facinated with magic. Because it just seemed possible. I have to say at a really young age I was already experimenting, not because I wanted to see if it worked, I knew it was possible. The question wasnt can I do this, but, why cant I do this. After reading The Alquemist, I was completely inspired to listed to my heart. And guess what? He started telling me things about myself that changed my life. I been reading a lot about different things and it just blows my might how powerful a human can be. Im to the point that I can feel the energy that surrounds me. People, places, plants, is just … incredible. I believe faithfuly in karma. Witch keeps me grounded on the way I use my powers with others. The more I learn, the more I understand why this kind of power is kept secret. It could corrupt a mans mind and heart, and it could easily be missused.
It has been hard for me because I feel I have no one to ask about this abilities I experience, or the way I see things now that not many seems to be able to persive. I feel in my heart I have so much more to learn. But im afraid it might separate me too much from “normal” people.
I hear this !
Magic such a topic it can go down so many paths. Is there good and bad magic? I think God holds true magic and sometimes we experience it, it is within us all some can percieve it and others are totally unaware of it.♥ Magic happens inside me, in my mind and heart when I read your books.♥ THANKYOU
El peregrino es un libro que me dejo estelas en el alma, maravilloso, me enamoró, me emocionó…lloré…
La primera vez que lo lei, hace mucho, no me había llegado, cuano lo volví a leer me parecía que era un libro nuevo para mí…tal vez no había sido el momento de leerlo anteriormnte…
Hermosa leyenda personal,tengo necesidades y deseos en mi alma muy parecidos y desde muy chica, pero nunca viví mi leyenda personal…
you are professional.
me too have experiences like those mentioned here…
on certain occassions,i felt that those things happening around me something already warned to me.i felt that am already in this situation before,am here at a secound time.
i dont knew how and where i came to knew about it,i dint remember if i have dreamed it.(ofcourse i dream many things and i forget it at the same moment)…i dont knew how this happens..some times i got terrified when some of my crazy predictions to my friends comes true.i dont knew whats the magic behind it.it may be sometimes because of the truth in me.
i always believe in truth and always in reasonable lies..
and i dont knew is that the magic in me.
(sorry for my bad english,am from a deep village of India.and we spoke malayalam here)
Haven’t really thought much about magic till i started reading PC’s books. But there have been many occasions in my life where i have felt a certain strange continuation or flow with everything that surrounds me. My understanding of magic is that. Magic is that moment when i get the perfect shot in the camera, magic is that when i write something with words continuously flowing, magic is that when i train with my Sensei with the “shinai” up and facing my own “darkness”. Magic is also in the cold chills i get when the opponent gets stronger on me. Maybe magic is that when i stop running into past or future but stay completely conscious of the surrounding “right now right here..” as the old saying.
“Le magicien est un etre d’une intelligence superieure fondee sur sa creativite. Son mode de pensee n’est pas rationnel mais intuitif, ingenieux et fecond. La voie n’est pas axee sur l’enchainement des causes et effets et son caractere operationel le rend beaucoup plus inventive et efficace que notre pensee lineaire. En empruntant cette voie, nous apprendrons a reconnaitre les etats superieurs de conscience (du monde exterieur) ce qui nous permettra finalement d’acceder a la pure conscience (psychologique)” Deepak Chopra
“The magician is a being of a superior intelligence based on his creativity. His way of thinking is not rational but intuitive, ingenious and fertile. The way is not in line with the sequence of causes and effects and his operational nature makes him a lot more resourceful and efficient than our linear thought. By taking that road, we will learn to recognize the superior states of consciousness (from the outside world) which will finally allow us to access pure awareness.” Deepak Chopra
Magic was that moment..
é um ótimo poster, eu sempre adoro de ler o que você encreve, no meu site tambèm tem ums artigos e umas notícias legais. BJs.
I found that as soon as I was able to let go of my need to control the world around me, that was exactly what I was able to do. From animals to insects and plants, I feel so intrinsically connected to the natural world around me and it responds to me.
I discovered Paulo’s books by providence a number of years ago and they have been so inspirational and directional for every aspect of my spiritual life. Bless you a million times Paolo!

I mean to you R@e, sorry
YES, YES, R&E!!!!!!!

Does magic exit? Does physics exist for those who haven’t studied it? Magic has many faces, even for those who can’t see it. It is the inexplicable feeling about someone that you’ve first met, the sudden affection and attachment you feel about a dog in the street, the feeling of knowing when you can’t know. Magic leads us to people and places, which are unexpected, unplanned and suddenly direct our ways. Even if we can’t realize that at once. There are people who know, know particles of the universe that nobody else knew before. There are also people who know how to do things, for which the rest have to read books to know how. There are a few, who have a great wisdom of life. And any mother can immediately sense problems about her child. Magic could be a in a cup of morning coffee, a Mojito, a song, a look… I still however wonder do we really need to recognize the signs, can following them make us happy or sad, is it purpose or not, or just being able to read the map of the route that we’re actually following?
From childhood i used to dream that my mother is lying on her bed, her head was cut and blood was streaming out as if she was dead… This was a frequent dream… The bitter most part was… she died of brain cancer a couple of years back…
There were many such things… which either i dreamt or visualized long back and see them happenning… and I dont realize them till they happen…
Magical thinking is a way to explain events that do not seem to have obvious realistic explanation,or simply to indulge in the pleasure of pretending..at least that is what I learned at developmental psychology class about the mindset of toddlers…^^
What is the meaning of “magic” to me?
It is an expression for communicating that can be done in speaking a language that can be interpreted as “secret”.
I remember when I went to boarding school there were two girls who used to converse with each other in reverse. It was both fascinating and magic to me! They were cousins and every time they did not want us to understand, they used to put the “act on”. I was curious and wanted to know what they were saying.
Already, I had discovered the “power” of languages. I had pen pals from all over the world. Just the thought of evoking the name of the country they came from made me dream. I also started collecting stamps which was another way for me to escape.
Listening to foreign music had the same effect on me also.
As for playing with words – I was not conscious that it was the “language of the birds” I have been doing it for as long as I can remember.
Thinking back, it makes sense and produces something magical. I am not sure where it’s coming from, It happens in a split of a second, I am certain that it is a gift though.
Coming onto the blog and mixing all the languages I was able to make a good mix of it and it produced great bursts out of laughter from me. I could not believe at what was coming out at times – I apologize if I offended any one – at the same time it also made me reflect, giving me time to understand myself better.
I am able to understand that “secretive aspect of myself” it can be very painful and I am learning to manage it.
This “secretive aspect” when unveiled is my soul that is speaking.
Thank you for allowing me to speak and giving me back the taste for living again and to dream.
Thanks for all the new discoveries from inside myself.
Thanks for assisting me in my journey towards a healthy recovery for which I am very grateful.
I love you a lot.
You rock Paulo

que represente la magie pour moi?
c’est une expression pour communiquer, qui peut se faire en parlant un language qui peut etre interpreter comme “secret”.
Je me souviens lorsque j;etais en pension il y avait deux filles qui parlaient a l’envers – c’etait fascinant et magique a la fois – elles etaient deux cousines et quand elles ne voulaient pas qu’on comprenne elles parlaient a l’envers.Comme j’etais curieuse, je voulais savoir ce qu;elles racontaient… Toute jeune,j’avais fait deja la decouverte des langues en ayant des correspondants a l’etranger. Rien que d’evoquer le pays ou mes correspondants habitaient me faisait rever, c’est la que j’ai commence a collectionner les timbres – Un autre moyen de m’evader -.
Ecouter la musique etrangere produisait le meme effet sur moi.
Quant au “jeu de mots” – je n’avais pas conscience que c’etait ce que l’on appelle “le language des oiseaux” – Je l’ai toujours fait – En y reflechissant, oui cela a du sens et peut produire un effect magique, c’est quelque chose de tres spontanne, je ne sais d’ou ca sort. Je suis persuadee que c’est un don.
En venant sur le blog, et en melangeant les langues j’ arrive a faire un bon mixage et cela peut me faire rire a l’eclat et en meme temps reflechir a mes problemes , a me comprendre mieux.
Je comprends l;aspect secret de moi-meme, ca peut etre douloureux mais j;’apprends a le menager. Cet aspect secret quand devoile c’est mon ame qui parle.Voila.
Merci pour m’avoir laisser la parole et redonner l’envie de vivre, l’envie de rever.Merci pour toutes ses nouvelles decouvertes du plus profond de moi-meme.
Merci pour m’avoir assister dans mon chemin vers le retour sa la sante mentale.Je t’aime beaucoup.
You rock Paulo.

wihtin me, resurfacing is the the suffering of incontentment and mediocrity. it seems that we are just part of the human race cycle of birth and death then birth again. i believe that is something special, something worth living, like when we experiece something phenomenal even just in a simple magic trick, an illusion. you feel and realize how wondrful life is.
it also fascinates me that each one of us had been given by the creator with unique- special abilities. for instance me, i frequently to foresay what another person is suppose to say even if its chinese (when i do not have even have a general idea with the language)but it just happens unpredictably.
I want to know magic and live with it all my life. for me it gives me a glance to what is enstore for me, what i am suppose to do.
there is a great organization in this universe that may be is beyond any man’s comprehension. but perhaps a minute measurement of revelation put us in awe and we call it magic.
it makes sense to me that my life is for “DISCOVERY”. even in my childhood as far has i can remember until now i believe that even in the most chaotic space there is harmony waiting to be seen.
at this age of mine,22, i want to align my self with the greater scheme of things, the so-called “will of God”. its just that i am weary of a predictable life. a life of cause and effect. not that i am superb in the process of anticipation but its just that there are frequent instances that the usual things are revealed to me and spoiling the excitement. there are also instances that i am so restless that i would give anything just to know what will happen.
i know that if i do what i am suppose to do; i would make the most of life. i just know that every thing will just be so perfect. like a jigsaw puzzle.
Yes, there are some hidden resources, which sometimes appear as intuition events, or desire to go somewhere or as happens with animals in anticipation of the fatal accident state (madness). But in fact it is minuscule … I would like to take the path of the warrior and meet teachers. But in everyday life of people forget about their dreams. Shame on me.
Latest on my magic. Previous blog about thinking someone recognized me at soul level. Last night the number 144 was significant in my dream. Googled ‘soul recognition #144′ and got info on soul groups which are 144 in number. It says that when we ‘awaken’ to the Light, we begin to draw our soul group to us. Blessed Be!!! Gail
I’ve been experiencing an accelerated series of synchronistic events, richly symbolic dreams and totem animal visits since participating in a New Moon Ritual on January 15, 2010. Most recently, I feel that I have met a generational pagan who recognizes my soul from a past life and is trying to get me to ‘remember.’ I read about soul recognition in Brida last year and began to reread it. I’ve been experiencing the gamut of emotions involving these occurances like wondering if I’m going crazy, don’t know whether to share or keep quiet, now I no longer view these as singular phenomena, but accepting them as my new spiritual paradigm. Its good to find others who are actively experiencing magic. Blessed Be!!!
…Magic is simply science we have yet to discover and understand…
en interpretant les signes je crois que nous devenons magiciens, je vois beaucoup de choses tous les jours qui arrivent. synchronicite
I don’t consider this as a magic but a gift.
Normally when I sleep, I will dream of a certain dream and this dream will become reality.
I dreamed that my best friend is pregnant with a second child. I called her immediately the day after but she said she was not pregnant. A month later she called me and told me that she is pregnant. I dreamed that the baby is a boy and when I told her that she was quite angry with me because she wanted a girl as the first born was a boy.
I dreamed that I went to Prague and I did went there. The curious thing was I know where to stay, what to do and I know all the short cuts to a place that I wanted to see – as if I had lived there for years. I even helped lost tourists to get back to their hotels.
I dreamed of passing an important exam and I did passed it though the computer told me that I failed during the first few days.
I dreamed of kissing an Italian and it did happened in Rome.
I keep telling myself that this is a coincidence but too much of it seemed a bit queer.
I am glad to accept this gift :D
Magic is Life.It is a gift from God.
hm..hidden powers..i always dreamt of having one..like flying or being invisible, or having great strength..having abilities that human senses consider to be over-human..growing older, i have accepted my human nature, and found that in human nature is where my powers lie hidden. I have the “power” to empathize with people, to understand their feelings and express them loudly through my body – with an instant laugh, a bitter tear, a shudder through my whole body – and i cannot suppress this reaction…it is as if i am a mirror to others’ feelings..i don’t know about magic, but i certainly know that there is something mystical in what connects us all..every time i read this blog, i find answers that were there in my soul and i refused to pay attention to…you are all blessed..thank you all

Hello Everybody,
If you havent done so yet, please see the “What s your sixth sense quiz” at facebook.
I already have a friend whose 6th sense Clairsentience. Another one whose has Precognition. Mine is Clairaudience.
I m searching people who have the other senses, so that alltogether we form a group who has all 6th senses possible. Thus we would form “The Invincible Team”…
Imagine that you have a Dream, and you always know someone who just has the appropriate 6th sense to help you, if your desire is in harmony with the Soul of the World…
… of course this is fun : ) But a bit serious, too…
András.
/if you have made the quiz and want to help me build up this Team you can find me at András Béres on facebook/
hey i checked that out. i am a clairvoyant is that what you want . i searched for you in facebook they gave me many i didnt know which was you . Could you specify??
hi, i could say, that since some years, my magics moments are my dreams,not all,just some who stay, for example to have a long talk about death, with a old cat.those dreams, pushed me to be more attentive, and made the link with the reality, my future, my way.as i’m french, and this culture is rational, this protected me from manipulations, but also didn’t help me to developed magics powers.this paradox let me safe, not candide, and free also.one of those dreams, i had it several times, always the same, said to me, that there are two ways: one is next to me,to us, if i’m not attentive, i cannot see it, everybody can see it,it’s secret and also obvious.a paradox again,a way of the mind, and also in the reality of my dream, a way before a river with a pure water,we cross on foot, before a forest,i say we,because i’m not alone in my dream.then on this way i discovery many wonderful surprises and magics things incredibles.at the end of this way,there is a beautiful garden where i’m feel so happy to understand everything, it’s the garden of the knowledge.so i think when i come here, i’m on this magic way again,for me the good way!
Hola!
MAGIA…. si la magia que existe en cada uno de nosotros puede volver realidad nuestros sueños…. desde el mas hermoso hasta el mas tormentoso.
Alguna vez mi padre me dijo “TU PUEDES LOGRAR LO QUE QUIERAS LOGRAR…ME LO HAS DEMOSTRADO…” Si, desde ese dia pude ver que no habia cosa que yo quisiera que no podia conseguir…. aun en contra de lo que era bueno para mi. Esa MAGIA, esa constancia, ese trabajo de hormiga, esa actitud de seguir cayendo y levantando, viviendo cada dia…aprendiendo de los fracasos propios y ajenos.
Tratando de transformar los llantos en risas, levantando al caido aun a cuesta de mi caida….
Me enamore si se puede decir que asi fue… todos estaban en contra de ese AMOR, el primero… todo indicaba que no era para mi, sin embargo luche hasta el final. Tuve tres maravillosos hijos con mucha MAGIA en su corazon, aun cuando mi matrimonio fue un mar de tropiezos. Y aunque no funciono, – pues hay personas que no quieren ver la magia que existe en su interior – aun conservo esa MAGIA que me mueve a seguir luchando cada dia, a seguir secando lagrimas y derramando sonrisas, a caer y a levantar,a sentir pasion y demostrarla, a dar lo mejor y mostrarles a todos que a pesar de los malos tiempos, LA MAGIA QUE HAY EN NUESTRO INTERIOR hara que todo sea llevadero y nos dara felicidad aun en los malos tiempos. Esa MAGIA TIENE UN NOMBRE…. AMOR… cada vez que hacemos algo con AMOR todo surge y evoluciona.
EL AMOR ES LA MAGIA….
Les envio mucha MAGIA..compartanla.
Magic. Well I guess that would explain much. It may be paranoia… I have trouble believing because I fear being in the error. Even so I’ll do as said. To see and maybe understand.
First of all, there are those insects who always follow me when I am near the wood. I once came to think I had somekind of plague. I would have not remarked it if those insects did not leave when there was other people or if they did not make shadows on me and my path.
Second of all, there is the call of the rain. When there is rain I am attracted to it. The stronger it is the more urgent is the need to feel the rain, to be near it. Sometimes I am happy with the Rain otherwise it is there to support me in my sadness. I feel connected to it as if it knew me. The water. Yes. I think it is more the water. The rain being a more passionate expression of the water..
It reminds me: when I just want to be, I go near a little river in the woods and it takes my matters away.
Tjird of all, there would be the sun. That is a more physical, animal calling. It alters me. It takes me out of my shell..
Fourth of all, would be I guess, some sort of attractive aura. I am not born where I live. Young I was rejected and approached in the same time by the same people and I never did an effort for anything, I was a careless and naive kid fooling around. Later on I realised my loneliness and resumed myself to accept it. Even though, I guess it is because I was still open/naive, I still got to be friend with the «cool gangs». I auto-reclused myself just bursting out when given the right by the system.
From what I now know and understand many fell for me. I do not get it. I do not have a great social life. I focus on my accomplishment. I can not sustain it. I fear talking to girls I like so I look cold. Worst part being that mutual friends tell me they love/loved me. And it has happened more then 20 times in a year.
I do not get how I have friends and much less how can a girl like me…
The more I think of it, the more I realise it is not me to be in my corner. I like to be everywhere strong, I like being the sun. I do not know if it is magic or psycholgy, I just know it is strange. How I block myself from being myself.. I guess it’s because I lack of my moon.
..if magic is, is this magic?
The Power is.Your Thoughs .Your Dreams.Change your way of conversations.Try the mind.When you know your power.Use it for the benefits to others and.Earth…
And live life as best you can.with all the others of your familie and tribe on earth.
Magic is so much.Let it just come. :)
I am magic.since i have been born into this world.But what is RAM?
Love & Hugs Anita
-Mar- where you encounter your soul in the deepest sea.
for the most time of my so far life i refused my inner power.
and i know this behaviour of mine got me into situations where i did suffer, as i wasn`t able to reach the things i needed most in my life. i always thought i cannot be special, how would i, why me…
i am trying hard to accept my power. yet i am not so sure what exactly it is like. it surely got to do with the inner eye. a dear friend calls me lately “witch”.. i am having influences on the weather
My tool is the third eye. The ability to see other layers and dimensions through profound meditation.
Dear Paulo,
I read your book The Pilgrimage, and I was deeply touched by what I discovered there… I was travelling with you in every step you made on your secrete…well, not so secrete, but anyway, I like to called like that! JOURNEY…from the moment you split with your wife and she encouraged you to continue this sainted journey…a kind of re-discovering yourself who you truly are! It is a beautiful book… and your thoughts and narrations are so beautiful…it’s extraordinary…..deep words…Lots of techniques…. about mediation….. Finding your inner-self…. rediscovering yourself…. I do believe that it did change your life for better ….and forever! I said that I always dream of making that trip you did…well…it may be a another dream of mine…who, unfortunately …will never come true…But what can I do?…Sometimes we have to travel all that journey on our own minds…and I am so grateful to you for writing this wonderful “magic” !!!! Book…who inspired me in such a beautiful way….. Wish you happiness and love, always, to you and your dearest ones in your life, Gabriela Romaria
“love is the most important thing in life. It’s the key in each of us.”
wow that’s why, but, can hate be also a key?
Chaos!
Wonderfull topic.
I am blessed with the power of empathy and forgiveness. Forgiving myself and forgiving others that we are not perfect and that we do make mistakes. I do believe the world would be a better place if people were able to forgive themselves more. Allow yourself to make a new beginning whenever you feel you must.
I also am blessed with the gift of experiencing death purely as a physical reality. Because I am able to feel the power of love that keeps us connected with the ones on the other side. Not just the memories of love, but the love that is still alive and growing. Allow myself to feel their love too. Make new and future memories. I can feel the other side is not far away but just around the corner of my eyes. I just need to remind myself from time to time that I have magical glasses and put them on. That doesn’t take the pain away of loosing the physical presence and touch of a loves one, but it makes it much more bearable than for some one who has not yet discovered this gift.
life is nothing but magic. allow your true self to shine!
My biggest challenge in life is not to forget the powers I was blessed with. That’s why it is good to make a habit of counting your blessings every day.
love,
francesca
Magic – the ability to perform tricks that deceive the naked eye.
Magic – wonderous happenings that are beyond the bounds of human reasoning.
Magic – giving a sense of wonderment to life!
Magic – believing all can be undone and made right!
Magic – can have sinister undertones when the human mind cannot fathom the event but can have a joyous outcome!
Magic – the ability to change the NOW and accept the FUTURE!
Magic – an ability to forsee the future and make it right!
Magic – and big white fluffy rabbits being pulled out of a hat!!!!!
Magic – my ability to write in this blog where 20 years ago, this blog would not have been possible in reaching so many hearts!!!!
TRUE MAGIC!
Love to all,
Lyn x
wonderfully written Lyn ( particularly the last point). Reading it, I admit, was a magic moment.

Paulo,
Adorei sua camisa azul, hehehehe…
Então, sim.. eu acredito em Magia e no Poder Interior. Mas considero que é difícil despertá-lo, e não sei explicar o porque disso.
Já despertei Forças em diversos momentos da minha vida, mas não tive disciplina para mantê-los. Entretanto, recentemente despertei parte do meu Poder Interior na Festa em Honra à São José. Tenho realizado coisas incríveis no meu caminho a partir da Fé depositada na Oração daquela noite, dita com toda Fé, sentida com todo coração!!!!
E dentro deste contexto, eu acredito em VOCÊ meu querido e grande amigo!!!!!
Beijão, com amor

Dear Paulo,
I liked your video and I do believe that every body can be a magician, with his/her hidden power(s).
My hidden powers are HOPE and FAITH. It has been proven to me several times that by just keeping the faith and being hopeful you can do IMPOSSIBLES and I do mean it. and now my story:
It is the day before my flight to the US. to start my graduate study there, my flight is at 3:00 a.m. tomorrow and until now that is 5:50 pm there is no news about my visa approval! Well, I have to leave home now and help my sister to prepare my brother’s home. He is getting married in two weeks. I am going toward my brother’s apartment and sitting next to my sister in her car. “why God?! why?, you know what? I don’t give a dam any more I don’t want to go to the US at all!” talking to myself with tears coming out of my eyes. Now I calm down a little bit. We are arriving and very fast we have to prepare the gifts for the bride, that’s almost all we need to do and of course I need to set up his PC! Well, I am really tired now, it’s almost 9:00pm. We are leaving. I’m not thinking about the US anymore. We are back, my sister is asking her husband to put her kids in the car and I am running upstairs to check my email one more last time to see if my visa is ready or not. It’s 10:30 pm, the night before my flight which I have not canceled! YES! the email is there, it says that my visa is ready to be picked up!!! I am shouting and running down stairs and while my brother in law is putting my niece in the back of the car I am telling them that I am leaving to the airport!!! My sister says “shut up, you are lying” and I am like let’s go I have to pack I only have a few hours to my flight! I make some calls to say goodbye to those who were awake at that time and leave! That was when I learned that no matter what, keep your faith and hope, for they open the road for you.
I believe that I as a human being has been gifted many assets that I don’t even acknowledge! My experiences can shed a light on them. You may laugh at this but I believe that the power of human is unlimited since our soul is an immortal piece from GOD and you can imagine what power you can have if you have such a piece inside you.
Hope and Peace,
Safa
I discovered that my mind was pretty creative. But I was using this creativeness for foolish things. Once i realized that, i started resetting my mind in order to use it for nice things. And it is heping me in my studies, social life and so on.
Another one was when i was nervous i couldnt think about any solution for a problem. Once i discovered that i ordenated myself to not getting neither fearing nor anxious about anything, cause i was wasting all my energies. Doing so, i am living so much more intense and improving my skills forever.
love,

A magician, in my language and culture, is different from the Magus. A magician is someone who performs acts of magic and in a way using his powers for achieving personal benefits and feed his ‘egoism’. On the contrary a ‘Magus’ is someone who possess the Power and Wisdom to perform miracles and is able to see behind the veil. In my religion there is the story of Agios Kyprianos who was a Magus and then due to a revelation and a girl named Ioustine, he became a devoted Christian and a SAINT. His prayer is a prayer against Bad Evil Eye and Black Magic. So there is White and Black Magic. One is governed by the dark spirits of Evil and White Magic is performed for Love and through the Holy Spirit.
Life is by itself a miracle. It is a mystery. There are the Laws of the material world, the Creation, but the Divine Plan and and the CREATOR above all. As we are the ‘picture and similar οf our Father ['= "κατ' εικόνα και καθ' ομοίωση τού Πατρός"] then we are able to perform miracles. We must dive into our own being, Soul, the sparkle of Light, find the Truth and through LOVE become the ..children of LIGHT.
The power is inside us. May we all use it with, LOVE, Thelma xxx
I have to say I was quite scared when reading last night the chapter on magic in confessions of a pilgrim.
i had a strong premonition once – an almighty overwhelming feeling that something terrible was about to take place. it was almost as if evil itself could land on the roof above me… and in a way, evil did enter.. but by the door.
only many many years later did i come to know that my mother also had had a strong feeling of something…
and so i regret never having mentioned it to her…
because with two people saying they had strange feelings.. then perhaps the result would have meant to live the area. as it turned out, we stayed.. and evil knocked on our door that evening.
i wish i had spoken up…
but in a way i also know i kept quiet, because it was intution speaking.. and no one gives intution the time of day. however, if we were to live in a culture where intution WAS respected and talked about more, then i am sure i would have spoken of what was on my mind.
as a result, i feel huge guilt for not having spoken up and perhaps helped save my family from evil.
in life, from illness, i had a strange experience of what might be called deja vu… but not in the sense of scenarios which keep repeating themselves…
but in a sense of being in a vortex of time/space…
and i merely collapsed in exhaustion within it and was carried along by it…. yet i knew that i was being carried along and gladly allowed myself to go wtih the flow.
i don’t think it is magic skills i have, but rather a powerful force unrolling its magic to support me.
the vortex seemed to feel as if it had always been there, and it was only me that had strayed from that time/space.
i cant really explain.
magic ! to me what is magic ?
either everything is magic or nothing is. I have seen many people exhibit genuine magical powers, for example take a 1 rs coin in a hand and go on replicating it till piles were created. i know of many people whom i respect very much, who have magical powers. But gaining magical powers have never really interested me, i know they eixst and that is enough for me.
having said this i have had some ‘magical’ expereinces in life. expereinces difficult to explain away!
Once it was in bakenbihari temple in mathura in 1992 maybe. We recahed the temple in the evening, travelling in a charted bus, we were tired and dusty, eger to go to the hotel and wash ourselves. Till then i had been to temples only because parents used to take us, not particularly liking the crowed, the jostling, the whole ambience as such. On reaching the temple gates we saw that it was about to be closed, one of the shopkeeprs around told us, another 15 minutes. as crowed was less we decided to go in anyway and be done with this formality. another 3 minutes walk, then i was lost. as soon as my gaze fell on those beautiful eyes ( of the idol of lord krishna with one yellow garland ) i was just stunned, mesmerized, for i don’t know how long nothing else existed, but just that lord and me. the moment i saw the statue, everything chnaged,things happening inslow motion, other than teh communioin nothing existed. it was magical, and still is.
paulo speaks of magical powers, i don’t know what all i have, never looked for anything. but lately people have been either complaining or complementing me about my gaze. if i look at you, i seem to look to your soul. in official dealing i have developed this habit of not looking others directly in their eyes, but a point between the eyes and little below it. on mnay occassions i too had this sense of dejavu, the unfloding scene in front of my eyes has happned again and it went this way. initially i used to be too dumbfounded to react, but now as i practice awareness i try to not get lost in the scene, but try to expereimnet with it.
what magical powers do u paulo the magician thinks he has got, apart from weaving the most endearing castles in thin air, writing those soul stirring books ?

The magic power that we all hide, I believe that comes out only if we are good people and help the others!
Yo tengo el poder de sentir la tristeza de la gente.
No solo es cuestion de verlo, de olerlo sino de sentirlo dentro de mi.No consigo estar mal in toto por la persona que tengo delante pero sì siento un sentimiento negativo, siento el mal que la persona siente.
Adoro mi poder.
si yo tambien puede sentir el mal que otra persona siente. es muy fuerte.desde que soy pequena me doloria mucho y no podia comprender eso, no me gustaba cuando la gente se marchaban y van a vivir a otra parte es muy dificil para mi, ahora entiendo porque y le acepto.es muy profundo al dentro de mi, sale de mi alma lo se.
