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

Its so nice to see many posts,that make me feel not alone,cause only recently I start to get used to my gifts and remembered many things,once I jokingly tell my boyfriend to give his watch to me as birthday present,so it stops at night,I think I do possess powers,sometimes I force people around me to pray with me in some dangerous situation and always my pray answered instantly.
Luckily I am not a pround person,I live a normal life,have normal problems,I used worry too much,but now I learnt lessons in my own life and live in peace with those gifts,and never forget to give and receive love,which is the most important things in life.
yes Wendy, love is the most important thing in life. It’s the key in each of us.
Me too i’m happy to see that i’m not alone.
In the mountains i have been led and i came on the blog (he told me “go toward them” ) and i begin to understand why .
You say : “become accustomed to its donations”, and it makes me think again to the phrase “become what you receive”. I think that must join in the Love , the true Love
Hello all,
My name is Eric and I’ve posted a few comments on Paulo’s blog over the last year or so… usually when I feel a particular blog to be of interest or of great importance and this seems to be one of those times. I’m 30 yrs old and for about the last 7-8 yrs I’ve been interested in the physical energy of life, the world, the human spirit and so forth. I began to notice these things in my early 20′s and since then I have begun to study these energies independently of any tradition though I have read of many traditions typically associated with magic or some form of spiritual energy, everything from Wicca to Japanese martial arts studies of Ki or the Chinese term Chi to all the major religions. Many forms of interdisciplinary projection of such energies and even some psychic projection and interpretation. All of this brings me to the concept of collective consciousness, something that I would describe as a pool or river of energy with tributaries reaching out to all things living and not. This pool or river is what I’m learning to see, feel, interpret and express. It is this river that all souls will travel over many lifetimes. All life produces this energy, it emanates from all living things. Also non-living things have the natural capacity to reflect this energy as a mirror reflects light and to store it as data is written to a hard drive. It is on this pool of inanimate energy and over this river of living energy pouring out from all life that I intend to navigate through the collective consciousness of the world in search of a clean body and collection of sources to emulate and amplify and bring from within me to the world to give light where it is needed. I need not leave my home to do this as many teachers and authors will attest to. It isn’t the weight of my feet or the resources along my life’s path that make this possible or impossible but only my pride and selfishness that impedes my progress from within. For anyone who feels this way I can only hope that our paths may cross and that we may share our source as I offer my source here to you. For those who hope to make their way on their own journey my only advice to you is be fearless and as Paulo might say be relentlessly honest with yourself and don’t apologize for it. If life seems as though it is not what you want it to be or what you think it should be, that’s because you’re right. This understanding is the beginning of wisdom, let it flourish.
And to Paulo, Thank You!
Best Regards,
Eric

Yo busque la magia, pero ella estaba en mi camino, querida Rosa. Fué facil encontrarla. Y si, somos todos mágicos.
Querido Mago ya que salió el tema quisiera preguntarte ¿Cuándo descubriste que eras un Mago? ¿Cómo se manifestó la mágia en un principio? Y ¿Hasta donde puedes llegar, que puedes hacer?.
¿Somos todos seres mágicos? ¿nacemos o nos hacemos mágicos?.
Un beso.
sorry, i forgot, its japanese subbed in english!!!

Thanks Marcoa! Really good stories. The wave was a good representation… I once witnessed a guy send out a burst like that, intentionally in conversation to give someone else a hard time. The guy was just joking with the other person, but it was a pure manipulation and made the other person put his head down with no come back. It was a few octaves higher than the wave in the story. Another time I saw (somewhat visually at that time, but more so for the first example) a middle aged CEO verbally bash a 20 yr old worker and it made the kid’s knees buckle. At the time I laughed, then the boss looked at me the same way and my only reaction was “aww f#$%” and I felt a strong urge to walk away quickly. It is sad that these kinds of manipulations go on in the world and between many, many folks every day. It is a painful truth, but the more I learn to see, feel and express (speaking specifically in terms of the energetic output as the burst that I described), the more I am able to take what I have learned to help people.
Best Regards,
Eric :)

Well, I have some kind of “power”. When I was younger I frequently had deja vu. Later they didn’t happen so often. But only recently I realized that they are not “simple” feelings that something has already happened. I noticed that actually I can see an event of my life before it happens. There were two times that I had to choose and I had a kind of vision that if I do something the situation in the vision will take place. And I deliberately did it to find out if the “vision” will be true. And it was! And when the situation took place, I could follow it in my mind as if I was watching a movie that I know very well.
So I gained a proof that the vision really happened, because I decided on the basis of it.
I say that it felt like watching a movie, because it was not like deja vu I had years ago, that a single “scene” has happened before. Now the sensation lasted for a couple of seconds and I felt very excited at the same time.
What concerns me is that I am not able to pinpoint the exact time when this vision of future happened. I know it happened around some time, but don’t have a memory of it happening at this hour and that minute. It rather felt like I happened outside of time and place, or maybe in a dream?
So now, I have a impression that if I more consciously hold on to those “visions” I could actually be able to sense if the decision I’m making is right or wrong… But I don’t have a clue how to do this, how to trigger those visions…
Maybe I have some other “magic powers”, who knows. This one is still a shock and a thing hard to explain.
as vezes certas coincidencias parecem mais concordancias, e isso as vezes me assusta…
I am also thinking about a trip to Egypt.
When I was in the Abu Simbel temple, I was in a very strange state of mind, like I was not completely awake.
I felt the urge to go into one of the minor rooms of the temple, where nobody usually goes because they are not supposed to be as interesting as the main areas. It was a room where they used to store offers, such as food and drinks.
I sat down, closed my eyes, and I felt like I was floating… I saw a place with water and some little hairy animals, then I saw a weird waterfall, with a sharp corner. Everything in my “vision” was quite weird.
When we are driving back to airport, I told the Egyptian guide that I had seen pictures (I did not feel like talking about “visions”) of a certain place, and described to him what I saw.
He said: “That’s Al Fayoum, where did you see those pictures?”.
I asked again: “You can find both those hairy animals and that weird waterfall there?”
And the guide said: “Sure, it’s the only place I know where you see something like that. But you described that so well, that I am sure you went there”.
“No – I replied – “I have never been there”.

I can feel it when one of my parents is suffering, emotionally or physically, no matter how far they can be.
I feel a sudden anguish, that makes me feel like crying out loud and stop me from breathing. Then I know there is something wrong with them, and reach them immediately.
I can also “feel” some words in my mind, and later on something happens related to those words. For example, a few years ago a word came into my mind “San Cristobal”. I had never heard of this Saint, nor heard about any place or thing named after him. A few days later (maybe 2 or 3 days, that I spent having that name constantly in my mind), I saw the news on TV: there had been a terrible earthquake in Souther America, in a place named “San Cristobal”.
Many more things happened, and still do.
Last Saturday, I went to my parents to have lunch with them; I was riding my motorbike. In the afternoon, they took me to a supermarket next to their place, in order to buy a barbecue (there was a special offer). I could not carry the stuff we bought on my motorbike, of course, so they decided to come to my place with me, driving their car, in order to deliver that stuff and to see my kittens, that they love much.
I was riding before them, and they followed me at a short distance.
3-4 km before reaching my place, I felt the urge to stop at a bar and gambling “Superenalotto”, a very popular lottery here in Italy. They did not see me stopping, even if I signaled that, so went on on the way to my place.
I could not gamble, for the area was closed for some exhibition.
I arrived at my place soon after my parents, and they looked at me with terrified eyes: 2 km from my place, a car coming from the opposite direction was heading towards them, and they could avoid it for a few centimeters. If I were riding my motorbike before them, I would not probably be able to avoid it, also because in the part of the road I usually ride in the middle of it, in order to avoid the queue.

Last night I was reading about “magic” – trying to understand what that word really means, what “magic” is exactly. One definition stated that “Belief in one’s ability to perform magic involves coming to accept a belief that one is capable of creating change (that one is powerful) and that the change will occur according to one’s will (that one is in control).” By that definition, I think we are all “magicians,” in a sense, any time that we set out to manifest our dreams in this life.
But, as for “hidden powers,” that is a different question. There are certain “powers” that I think (no, I know) I do possess, but it isn’t it isn’t because I set out with the conscious intent to develop these powers. They just came about on their own. Secondly, I seldom use these “powers” to provoke change in a situation or to impose my individual will on the outcome. In fact, often I am at a complete loss as to what I AM supposed to do with these powers.
I will give an example: Sometimes (this has happened several times in my life), I can “see” when a person is about to die, whether from illness or by sudden accident. I don’t try to do this. In fact, when this happens, it is completely OUT OF MY CONTROL. I don’t ask to know this – I don’t particularly want to know when anyone is going to die – it just happens. And every time, it is the same: It is as though, all of a sudden, I am seeing into the persons eyes and looking directly at their soul. In that moment, it is like there are two people standing in front of me. One is the physical person, the conscious being. The other is the soul. And the first is not necessarily very much aware of the second. The soul knows that this “animal” it is inhabiting – this physical being – is about to die. And this is what I “see” – the soul and its knowing. Meanwhile, on a conscious level, this other person is completely oblivious to any danger, totally unaware that they are about to die.
The thing is I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS INFORMATION. I have questioned this for so long and so hard, and yet I still do not have any answers. It seems to me that any “power” such as this should have a reason – it should serve some purpose. But what purpose is there in knowing that a person is about to die? Why do I “see” this, and what am I supposed to do about it?
I might understand if this occurred only with people that I know – maybe I would be supposed to say “goodbye” or something – but it happens also with complete strangers. I met this man, for example, once. I was introduced to him and, in the moment of that introduction, suddenly found myself in another dimension, staring directly at his soul, which seemed to say to me (without words), “You go on. There is no road up ahead of me.” I was very shaken up by the encounter. The next day, driving down the road, the man rear-ended another vehicle and was killed instantly.
Was I supposed to warn him? What was I supposed to do with that information?! Once I did try to “warn” someone. I won’t do it again. The reaction I got was one of utter rage and indignation: Who did I think I was, telling someone that they were about to die?! What I tried to tell the man was that he was very ill and that he should try to do something about it – go see a doctor, get some help. On the surface, he looked healthy. He thought he was healthy. Shortly afterward, he dropped dead of a stroke. So, my attempt to warn him of what I saw was of no use at all.
In this sense, this “hidden power,” if that is what it can be called, is pointless. It doesn’t help anyone and, in the end, it doesn’t change anything at all. The only thing it does, really, is disturb me greatly, because I don’t know what to do with it!
Aside from this random ability to “see” death, there are other, perhaps somewhat related “powers” that I suppose I have. Although it is a whole complex of powers, I would sum them all up as simply the ability to “see” or intuit certain events and circumstances. Sometimes this means “seeing the future,” but because I do not concentrate very much on the future, this more frequently means simply seeing clearly what IS – seeing the reality behind the subterfuge. Similarly, I did not ask for these powers and I don’t know how they originally came about, or why. The difference is this, however: First, since I realized this power or set of powers, I have set out to develop them further. Secondly, I feel I do have at least some idea how to use them to some aim, to help others, and even myself.
How can I describe this? Divination. I read sometimes about various practices of divination, but the way in which it is always set forth seems to me very dry and meaningless. It is “systemitized” and this is why I can’t quite relate to it. For example, you can pick up a book that will tell you: “If you see a certain animal, the meaning is this….” Or similarly: “If the leaves in the tea cup form a certain pattern, the meaning is this…. If you draw the World card from a Tarot deck, the interpretation is this….” This is what I mean by the “systemization” of divinatory practices. Everything is a formula – you see a certain “sign” and the “meaning” is the one stated. For me, it does not work like this.
First of all, I’m not always even looking for a “sign,” but suddenly one appears. When this happens, the experience is always the same: I have the sensation, in that moment, that suddenly everything is occurring OUTSIDE of time and space. This is how I know a sign – a genuine sign – when I see it: the experience always has that surreal aspect to it. Secondly, the interpretation is not from any book or systemized list – it is purely intuitive. I just KNOW what the thing means. It is like another language. And I don’t have to look up the definition of the word in a dictionary, because I just “know” it. It is the same when I read Tarot cards. I know the traditional interpretations of the cards, but I don’t rely on this information: I read them “intuitively.” I draw a card, lay it down, and a story unfolds before my eyes. I just “know” what the card signifies in regards to the given situation and often this is far from the “traditional interpretation.” It is also much more detailed, never vague or ambiguous.
This set of powers does not disturb me because I have at least some idea, I think, of how and when to use them. When the occasion arises, I help people to see more clearly, not the future, but what IS – the reality of the present moment. I try not to deal with the future because the future is not a given – it is mutable: it can be changed and affected by one’s actions in the present moment. So this is how I try to use these powers: to help people see clearly what their options are in reference to actions that they might take or attitudes that they might adopt IN THE PRESENT MOMENT.
I don’t know if any of this qualifies as “magic” by the definition given above – probably not. But one thing I do know: sometimes people do develop powers (either intentionally or accidently) that do not conform to the known “laws” of the material realm and which, similarly, defy all attempts at scientific explanation. Further, I believe that all “hidden powers” have a potential purpose – they are meant to help one serve one’s fellow human beings – if only we can learn what that purpose is and, thus, how best to use these powers we have been given. I also suspect that there is some element of self-growth involved here: when a power springs up from within a person, this is an indicator that there is something to be learned or understood about oneself, both as an individual and in relation to the larger web of existence.
daca sufletul este ferict,atunci moartea este o minune,care elibereaza sufletul din aceasta inchisoare a pamantului…daca vezi asemenea lucruri,pe care putini oameni le observa,inseamna a trebuie sa transmiti un mesaj noua,oamenilor obisnuiti..ceea ce vezi tu,este mesajul universului asupra pamantenilor…cand un om se pregateste sa faca acest pas,cand se pregateste sa moara el trebuie inconjurat..nu trebuie sa-i spunem ca va muri,trebuie insa sa-i spunem ce a facut el bun pentru pamant…sufletul omului cunoaste eternitatea numai dupa ce-si termina calatoria,printr-un vehicul fizic,pe acest pamant…
Savita Vega…I do love to read your posts :) And the “signs” are similar for me to the way you describe them both surreal and intuitive…for me, it’s almost like someone turns the lights on a little brighter and my eyes seem to see tiny vibrations as I realize that I’m taking note of something that has significance.
An example of a “small sign” happened just today…I wrote about the death of my mother in the post from June 22nd and how she’s still somehow reaching out to me and I hear her. Today, I was in the library at the school where I teach trying to choose a book I wanted to read…seems simple enough, but for an English teacher this can be a knuckle biting challenge. Well, I saw a few, but they didn’t FEEL right…and then I picked up this one book and just KNEW this was one I should read…hadn’t even read the liner notes…and never bothered because as I flipped through the first few pages I noticed the dedication page…it read “To Miss Magoo” and the room seemed brighter and the text seemed to move for a second. That was a sign…when I was small my mother always called me Miss Magoo. Somehow, God bless her, she is still telling me where to find a good book. THEN I read the liner notes…and sure enough it was the kind of book that was very much her style. I know it seems like a silly, small thing…but small things carry big messages.
I understand you, Savita, it is difficult to understand for what reasons we are allowed to know a fact of the future of a person
Myself , sometimes I read in the soul of a person who is before me (as you describe) and the knowledge can he or must it influence the future?!!
Then I think that the intuition must guide to determine whether it should be reveal our premonitions to the person who is located in front of us .
For my part, I have done four times for my companion: In order that it knows, and that it to know me a little better , and also to preserve us…
But the fact of knowledge and have said has not prevented the painful events which occurred ( just the fact to be able to prepare and mastering my emotions so that it does plebejer me not )
But I know that it is sometimes difficult to know a fact of the future in remaining spectator !!
But I also know that the fact that these premonitions are achieved informs me on their reality , and I think i preparing to be ( the Lord prepares slowly an artwork , with its acceptance ) and now my companion also knows the reality of my premonitions , which prepare us to be and also perhaps to act in the days arriving on our path.
Today, I have knowledge of certain possibilities , “gifts” , and I know that I must accept or non : say “yes” or “no” to God (there is no perhaps) to accept to be “servant” and to do and to be ( but always in the way of Love ) then matter to follow , Savita, soon we will know! !…
well I dont know if this is relevant but you truly inspired me today!!
I dont really have any powers but hearing yours have given me some peace. I cannot stand the idea of the world simply working according to the laws of physics. I dont know why but i never could believe this. It is like saying that a person is a mere meat suit. Your piece of writing truly helped me feel so much better. Thank you Savita Vega.
I picked up the Alchemist and started to read it again, and realize this is my first meeting with Magic. I cannot wait to take part in the Workshop about this masterpiece next month. I see one way forward..to become what I am.. a Social Alchemist..showing how we all can transform our hearts to gold.
I am a very sensitive soul and had a strange experience of hearing someone weeping out loud, even though that person was silent and before me.
Hi Paulo,
I am a deep reader of you; i got my second degree, if you are a university; by reading the whole magic you did with words!
In that sense i believe in magic. magic is the thing someone can do to mesmerize a another by manipulating the texts, whatsoever the way they appear…text may be letters, words, sentences , paragraphs, chapters , books , light , color, sound, rhyme, any way of making our senses to perceive…
so Paulo, you are the best magician i have ever came across!
magie..acesta este subiectul care ma framanta de cateva zile..oare exista o farama de magie in sufletul fiecarui om?este oare posibil ca fiecare om sa devina magician si isi depaseasca limitele?iubire…curaj..dorinta de a invinge…putere..forta..sunt oare acestea niste dovezi concrete ale existentei magiei in sufletul fiecarui om?poate ca toti stim,dar inca nu am aflat…tot ce ne inconjoare face parte dintr-o lume obisnuita a acestui univers sau este un mister?suntem oare singurele fiinte din acest univers?activitatea omului in acest univers este la inceput..momentan lucram pe planeta numita Terra…oare ceea ce nu cunoastem este un mister?suntem oare magicieni sau niste simpli spectatori care asista la un spectacol de magie al universului..universul ne-a creat…iar noi incepem sa cream pe altii…modificam natura…construim galaxii si alte lumi..cercetam si construim..prima lectie din arta misterioasa a magiei….. http://realitateaascunsa.blogspot.com/
An interesting, difficult question ;o)
I still am hoping to discover !
However, I was born in the Week of Exposure and on the Day of Startling Suprise…
and this has appeared fairly true to form.
I think that my personality and life seem to bring around revelations – and i would say that I use the concept of mirrors a little too much: reflection – for whatever function… of course always for purpose of good or protection.
but as i say, I am hoping to realise and unlock my skills…
so shall continue to read the signs… ;o)
My magic?…
1/my intuition and my premonitory dreams! Thanks to my cerebral cortex to work well! I believe that we have in us an exceptional instinct of survival!
2/My enthusiasm and my delight of the life! I thank God for giving myself this possibility… every day by raising me.
3/to dare to push away my limits… I can, I want, I make and then I notice that it was not so… insuperable as of what I thought!
My hidden power? Firstly, my dreams. Sometimes i can find the answers for my problems. But interpretation sometimes is quite difficult. Secondly, pray. You know, I’m on the third year of studies. I was afraid I will not finish. I had a problems with my work. I prayed to God for help. I had a lot of porblems, but… I wrote my work, I passed all exams and I have final exam this friday! :) So, wish me luck and… pray a lot. With faith.
Magic or power was my favorite word.I was so fascinated with all supernatural things as kid.I was never afraid of ghost,i would wait outside my room during my childhood days to see ghosts witches coz people would always whisper rumor ,they would walk at night.Visions, dreams,going to future to past,or going to certain frame of time to know the truth,and to see angel devil to communicate with them.I can go on but the most important thing now is that,i realised that i can communicate with any form of life.I dunno how and why,like animals or insects or any form with life.I asked God once why they jump with joy as if they want to say something when i take steps,and God told me that all animals and insects came to ask for language but he gave them sign language so they would understand sign language from us.Maybe they see the light of God in me.
The first witch or a gifted lady i ever met in my life was,in a bookshop where they use to keep books like supernatural being and all the people rather gifted people use get together there.During my early 20,once i was going through those books, i read them seldom buy them,i saw little crowd following that lady like they were fan outside the shop.When she entered the book shop,she acted as if she was going through the book,i also looked at her from far.Then i asked her,are u psychic ,why they were crowding around u.She said that she was invited in a show to read the cards.I asked her without losing anything,what can u say about me?She just smiled and look at me,then to the air condition,She finally said,ur from a cold place,i see u surrounded by many birds and doves,and i see u traveling on a plane in future.I told her i had no plans but whatever she told came out to be true kinda 100 percent with so much accuracy.But one thing she told me puzzled me until now.She said,*i thought the air con of this shop must be broken or damaged coz i heard a strong vibration but when u moved and u stood just beside the Jesus on that altar,i saw huge wings behind you.I said what wings and i tried to joke around thinking she must be joking.MY dear you have huge wings beside you and the noise im hearing is your wings coz the air con is working perfectly as i can see.I can feel you healing vibration,from that wing.I don;tknow if the people outside who had entered inside also heard or not but they always recognize me,whenever they see me.And she also said,that she saw me picking a white book from a book shop and that man who wrote it will help you and guide you in your path.I didn’t know about Paulo Coelho or any of his books or path.Now i realize that the white book i picked was alchemist and that’s how i knew Paulo and he has helped or guided me to know me myself and to find my path.I told my friends about the lady and everyone laughed at me and how they started calling me crazy and i am still dubbed as one,but now i am not naive like before.
When papa came to meet me he gave me a vision where i was carrying my biological mother on my back,and God told me to walk on a thin plank of woods.I said God how can i walk i am carrying my mother at my back and those woods are so thin that it will break if i put alone my weight.But he commanded so i followed.I kept my step slowly and with fear that it would break and kill my mom and myself but it didn’t,although i thought it would and i was surprised how come that thin frail plank of wood is holding me and my mothers weight.Then i saw so many people going for pilgrimage,they all saw me how difficult it was for me to carry weight and to balance it on the planks,i was almost dying from the weight (that is surprisingly the true reality or metphor of my life now).Then one by one those people on pilgrimage held those woods for me so that i could take one safe step at a time.One saw the another they stopped going and doing what they were doing and held all their hand to support my step,then finally i crossed my path.If those people hadn’t stopped to hold those thin woods i would have never crossed it.I think those woods denotes my faith on God.
I think i somehow found my haven here in this blog where everyone is on pilgrimage and their words help me keep one step at a time.
Today only someone was making fun of me indirectly saying i must be crazy about God and those stuff and was sad but then when i come to this blog i feel safe and i don’t have to feel outcasted like my friends did one by one all of them.
We all are born in times where we will see the wonder and power of God with our own eyes.I have seen king giving up their crown for the real King is coming.And we must be happy that we will witness the core of human history.
God bless all
I’d love to go too.
O mago da luz e do amor…
Obrigada por vc existir!
MARG,

i can sort of tell if the person is sincere or deceptive by looking at face. i feel pleasant when i meet good people and i feel pain in my heart when i meet bad people. i hope this is something special…love
I practice many things, though I wouldn’t call this power hidden rather it’s the ability to change events in life to one’s benefit. Once you have obtained that item (material or immaterial) the only natural thing to do is to spread that to others exponentially amplifying your own joy because you have become the matrix for that which you love or enjoy to be manifested in another’s life. At times many people actually feel hopeless and powerless, but perhaps a combination of the divine, help from others and an internal strength conquers the day.
I guess simply put my power is in the hope that others find what makes their soul joyful. Because the divine wishes all individuals to be content, misery is just sidetracking it is not meant to be a destination.

PS- I’ve started to writer a philosophy book on similar lines. :)
I looked for alot of amazing things and I tought this things were magic things, but while the time passed and I was living my life I realized that is the magic to make your life goes on. To be truly with your self is the magic…and it´s not easy..it´s very hard…
I can’t claim any truly extraordinary powers, but when I was a child, before starting school, and when I was older, on many occasions, I was able to hear my mother “think” to me. When I was small, she would wake up in the morning and think “Melyssa…come to Mommy’s room” and I would wake from sleeping or get up from whatever I was playing with and go to her, seeming to hear her voice. That stopped for a long time once I went to school and got older…but it started again when I was away at college. More times than I could count, I would think of my mom and two seconds later the phone would ring. A few times we got busy signals trying to call each other at the same time…and somehow it was like our thoughts reached out to each other over the distance. One morning, when I was 22, I was on my way out the door to go car shopping…my foot was literally over the threshold, my hand on the locked knob of the door and I felt the strongest feeling that I should…no NEEDED to call my mother. When I did, my brother answered the phone…she had collapsed in the shower and was just taken away by an ambulance moments before. Somehow I felt it…I knew I needed to reach her. I drove the two hours to where she lay in the hospital and she later died of a brain aneurism. All the while, I was somehow able to “feel” her. Now, six years after her death, sometimes swear that I still do…sometimes I dream of her, sometimes I hear her voice in my head, but it feels like she’s whispering in my ear, and every now and again I swear I smell her perfume. Magic? I don’t know about that. But it’s nice to know she’s still connected to me in some way. That’s powerful to me.
Hi, Melyssa,
I wanted to reply just to let you know you are not alone in feeling these things. In my case, it’s my father. We didn’t have this connection while he was alive, mostly because my parents were divorced and i lived with my mother, but he loved me very much and had always tried to interact with me … lets call it telepathically. After he died though,(8 years ago) i feel him all the time, i sense him, i sometimes hear him, also – just like u said, as if he whispered in my head. The feeling is very intense; when i first met my husband (i knew after the first minute he would become my husband), i took him to my father’s grave to meet him (somehow i feel the connection stronger there) and the moment was so powerfull that sometimes i get confused and believe they have actually met in person… it’s beautiful, isn’t it? even now, as i write, i can sense him beside me :)
for me my intuition is magic, I feel like a magician, my clients tell me so, i feel blessed I can share this with others. and also i still feel like I am ababy, just learning, awaiting my teacher (s)…here my pateince is challenged, I accept, this forum helps so much. thank you all, with love.

Ultraviolet light from “STARS” above me and infrared instincts inside form my intuition or hidden power.
Um, this may not sound like a power, but I can wake up from sleep whenever I want to :D
Really, before going to sleep, I pray, Lord, wake me up at this and this time, and it always works! And my other prayers also work, though always not word for word, but I can always see, that they are granted to the best that they should be!
I think that my most dominant ‘power’ is my ability to analyse… like analysing the hidden school as she rolls down the road… analysing RAM and her roots, analysing people, situations and the supernatural.
Hi Paulo,
In my view, you are quite right – the “power inside” is not necessarily for those who have a certain propensity or gift in the area of the arcane, or can perform great feats of magic.
That power is inside of us all, if we were to but truly discipline ourselves to think outside of the narrow parametres of conditioning since birth. Even to think outside of the constraints of time & space (which in a way is what we do when we dream)!
As we usually consider ourselves to “be” our conditioning (our ego “story”; the continual tension between good/bad, satisfaction/disatisfaction) and its limitations, to break loose, to break the fetters requires a total return to innocence, wonder and humility. It requires true awareness and contemplative insight; the sort brought about by deep states of meditation and calm abiding. I call it a “shift in consciousness” – a state in which we are more open to “grace”, synchronicity, other dimensions and “ultimate” reality – and the opening of the third eye, somewhere along this ever expanding journey.
So…for me, I have a gift for premonition, but it cannot be evoked at will. For example, I dreamt of 9/11 the very morning (hours before) it happened. Not quite the details enacted measure for measure, but strong enough associations for it to hit my gut when the real events tragically unfolded. I’ve had other events such as this where I’ve visited a chateau in France, for example, and its hit me like an electric shock that I dreamt the exact place years earlier!
Further to this gift, I would like to develop my healing and intuitive abilities. I always wanted to be a psychic, but being someone who is a pragmatic seeker of truth, it is my opinion that enlightenment and psychic abilities are two slightly different paths – i.e. because someone has psychic abilities it does not make them a spiritually enlightened being. Superpowers are no indication of spiritual intelligence.
Also, the “hidden power” is ultimately knowing that our thoughts are responsible for our “reality”. Perhaps there are limits in life, but in our minds there are none…..

In native american culture I am called a walking visionary…At first I was overwhelmed by this title but I accept that I have powers of seeing and of knowing things that will happen to me and to those around me. Listening to what I see ,and I know that sounds strange, is the most important part I think. I believe in divine intelligence and allow myself to be guided by this also.
with love to you Paulo.
poate ca cei care nu ne cunosc,cred ca intre noi se afla numai ura,deoarece suntem intotdeauna departe unul de celalalt,pentru ca in mod sigur unul iubeste ma mult,iar altul mai putin..cei care ne cunosc,sunt convinsi ca iubirea dintre noi doi este foarte puternica…dar,numai noi doi stim adevarul..ne iubim foarte mult,si ne uram sufletul nostru atunci cand gresim..atunci cand cineva dintre noi raneste,in suflet apare sentimentul urii ca am fost prea agrsivi…dar,atunci cand ajungem sa observam persoana draga care incearca sa ne ajute,ne inaltam deasupra urii si a tristetii.atunci cand privim in ochii celor care doresc sa impartaseasca tainele iubirii cu noi,..suntem din nou fericiti..in iubire exista numai fericire si bucurie…dar pentru a ajunge la acest dar trebuie sa trecem printr-un ocean al lacrimilor si al nefericirilor…acest ocean inconjoara o insula ..pe aceea insula se afla unicul loc din acest univers care ascunde iubirea ingerilor si a tuturor fapturilor…cu fiecare noua poveste de dragoste,cu fiecare atingere si mangaiere,insula se inalta ,se mareste cu cativa metri..dar,cu fiecare lacrima,cu fiecare despartire,oceanul invadeaza o mica parte a insulei rapindu-i teritoriile atat de pretioase… esti un mit…sau poate ca esti revelatia viitorului traita intr-un prezent etern…esti visul acestui univers sau esti creatia unor forte supranaturale..esti inger sau esti stea..dar ce mai conteaza..poate ca esti un om,un simplu muritor..orice ai fi,esti singura care poate incalzi acest suflet nevinovat care s-a ratacit in trupul meu…stiu ca esti si vis si realitate..nu stiu ce sa mai fac pentru a putea fura un zambet,un sarut si o imbratisare de la tine…esti mitul propriei mele amintiri..esti povestea de dragoste pe care oricine ar fi interesat sa o asculte..esti iubirea pe care fiecare pamanteaan doreste sa o cunoasca si sa o atinga…. se spune ca fiecare om are o stea..toti spun ca fiecare om e calauzit in aceasta viata de o stea…oamenii cred in puterea misterioasa a acestor scantei ceresti..toti doresc ca steaua lor sa fie cea mai puternica,pentru a putea ajunge in deasupra tuturor…pentru mine stelele sunt scanteile iubiri,sunt acele dovezi ale pasiunii dintre doua suflete…stiu,si eu am in acest univers o flacara a creatiei prin iubire..doresc ca aceasta flacara sa nu se stinga niciodata…aceasta stea poarta zambetul tau din momentul cand te-am intalnit..pana atunci,steaua mea,cunostea doar o singura persoana:pe mine..dar azi ea te cunoaste si pe tine…si ,pentru a putea straluci mai puternic are nevoie de o unire a zambetelor noastre,are nevoie de iubire….nimeni nu crede,dar toti isi doresc…asa ca m-am gandit sa incerc,sa pornesc in aceasta calatorie plina de mister… poate ca toti au aflat,dar nimeni nu a inteles..nimeni nu stie ce simt eu pentru tine..toti cred ca imi pun in pericol propriul viitor,cand eu tocmai mi-l construiesc langa tine.toti spun ca ar trebui sa ma retrag,dar nimeni nu observa ca nu exista niciun drum de intoarcere..toti cred ca aripile mele au obosit,dar gresesc…aripile mele sunt bataile inimii,singurele care ma pot ajuta in aceasta viata….tu,te ascunzi dupa aceste umbre ale acestor pamanteni..iar eu,nu mai pot controla acest vultur care s-a nascut din dorinta de a te aduce din nou alaturi de mine….treptele sacre ale iubirii par vise imposibile…dar iubirea este forta care ma poate ajuta sa le urc….lasa-ma sa privesc acesti ochi minunati,lasa-ma sa mangai mainile tale delicate.. magie..magician..pai in fiecare om se afla asa ceva..trebuie insa cercetat si descoperit..cred in Dumnezeu,dar cred si in mine,in puterea mea de a invinge propriile temeri si de a-mi depasi limitele…magia se afla in fiecare cuvant pe care-l spunem..pentru ca fiecare cuvant ne poate duce pe cea mai inalta treapta a vietii..cuvantul este cel care ne aproprie de eternitate..iubire.adrian
When I search God, I don’t see God everywhere.
But when I see my heart, then I feel a gleaming light that has a sound:
“You will be protected. You will be loved.”
Then I know God is there, so I don’t need to search everywhere anymore.
That is my strength.
magie..magie..dar care e oare ce-a mai importanta magie din aceasta lume?esti un mit…sau poate ca esti revelatia viitorului traita intr-un prezent etern…esti visul acestui univers sau esti creatia unor forte supranaturale..esti inger sau esti stea..dar ce mai conteaza..poate ca esti un om,un simplu muritor..orice ai fi,esti singura care poate incalzi acest suflet nevinovat care s-a ratacit in trupul meu…stiu ca esti si vis si realitate..nu stiu ce sa mai fac pentru a putea fura un zambet,un sarut si o imbratisare de la tine…esti mitul propriei mele amintiri..esti povestea de dragoste pe care oricine ar fi interesat sa o asculte..esti iubirea pe care fiecare pamanteaan doreste sa o cunoasca si sa o atinga…. te vad in orice lucru de pe acest pamant…am un dor nebunesc de o clipa de iubire…imi e dor de ochii tai…nu stiu ce sa fac pentru a traversa zidul care s-a pus intre noi…ma tot gandesc la aceasta iubire imposibila..eu te iubesc pe tine,tu il iubesti pe el..iar el,incearca sa ascunda totul…eu incerc sa te gasesc,iar tu doresti sa te ascunzi..eu te iubesc din ce in ce mai mult,dar tu incepi incet incet sa ma urasti…gandul meu este mereu la tine,iar lumea incepe sa ma creada un nebun,,un fraier..nu ma intereseaza opinia lor…ma intereseaza frumuseta care sta ascunsa in inima ta…stiu ca sunt intr-un razboi cu propriile mele limite..stiu ca incerc sa depasesc intunericul si neputinta care ma inconjoara..traiesc cu speranta ca dincolo de acest intueric,dincolo de acest zid se afla puterea dragostei…sper sa te gasesc la capatul acestui labirint…imi doresc sa ajung din nou in templu sacru al iubirii..nu stiu daca acest lucru se va intampla,dar iubirea este singura forta din acest univers care te ajuta sa treci peste nefericire si intuneric .. iubire,adikady
Bravo.
limba romana este o limba interesanta precum celalalte..pe mine ma fascineaza chineza…este uimitor cum oameni din toata lumea se pot intelege fara a sti nici macar un cuvant dintr-o limba straina..noroc cu google translate…nu traduce ezact..dar macar aproximativ..cele mai uzuale cuvinte…am o idee..rog pe domnul paulo coelho sa creeze o pagina pe blogul acesta unde noi sa ne putem posta id sau linkul blogului……
Because of past experiences, I am careful with speaking and dealing with inner abilities. Ability is a gift of God, and thank God that they are not available at a simple command! The first that I got and helped me through my childhood, adolescence and adult life until today is “resilience”, the capacity to bounce back, to recover and pursue. And before that, a strong spiritual link to the Force of the Creation, a supra mental capacity. Another one, the ability to sense in accordance with the Divine Plan. That is why when I went into dark spaces, or experienced some communications, etc, that sensitivity, “clairvoyance” gave me the signal to let go rapidly, to not enter that zone. I asked myself one day, what does that ability gives me as a mean to attain my objective, to be me, to accomplish my mission and respecting myself, others and God. No answer, I postpone, wait the answer, and put a hold. I am a “canal”, very sensible at different types of communicating … I am in getting used to it and in the learning process, and ask, search and knock, and most of all, in contact with my God that I thanked to giving me the time to adapt, to comprehend the true meaning and expectations of Him of giving me the ability to contact and accept that in my life. I believe in the power of words, of rituals, of abilities or gifts, but I truly believe that I must be careful, because by experience, that opens the door of opposite forces. Awareness again, conscience are “pré-requis” to utilize those. So, to know who I am, to recognize the spiritual being that I am, to make peace with myself, to heal myself, to be sensible to myself, to love myself and utilizing those forces for myself, experiment it with others who are true Warriors of Light before going on that path of putting those to the service of others and the World. And by the way, by putting those at my service, I certainly am doing good for the other and the World!
Paulo, you are the best and you know this!! Magic words!! And I prefer that the things happen…
I ignore this all the time, but I think I see through people. I have found myself predicting situations for my friends or relatives and they come true or I say in my mind “I knew it would happen”.
But I often ignore that I can use this “magic” for good things and for making decisions…
We all have an inner power just waiting to be discovered, though I think some people are more in tune with it than others. I find myself able to connect with people on a much higher level than the physical, often being able to know what ails someone without asking, and then be able to provide a source of healing for them. It’s been a wonderful experience that I wish to continue to grow as time goes on.
Much love and blessings,
-Tomas.
Energy is magic, power, and if I fantasize it; energy is my magic wand. I am learning how to use the energy I am made of, the more I open myself up to the Universe more hidden powers surface from within me. But I am like a lotus flower so there is a process (order)

I dream, i often dream about dead people, i ask them advice, i dreamed the devil once, he tried to’ tempt me, in a way I don’t want to say here, i dreamed a demon too, not sure it was dream, I was awake/half-sleeping and he was breathing Next to me, he was like a small black pig with small wings and horns. But i dreamed a phoenix too, he came to me, he was beautiful and we talked.. I asked him advice.. Sometimes i feel things that people Are about to do, but is more like I feel what they think.. Even tough, I don’t know what my real power is, these things make me feel like they are just reflections of what I really have inside.. It’s like I can feel it but not quite understand it or grasp it yet.. I would like so bad to be fully conscious of it and be able to use it do make good…
I can really relate to you. I once dreamt/was awake?(i really dont know) that mary (mother of jesus) was standing in front of me and i sobbed because i felt so sorry that i had ignored her love for me. and sometimes when i fall asleep i enter a state in between sleep and reality where im aware that im dreaming so i can control absolutely everything around me (including the people) but im still observing it. anyway i still cant quite grasp it. and those experiences come so randomly, so suddenly and so rarely.. i know i have something..some ability inside me that i will realise very soon but i dont know what it is yet..and yes me too i want to know it so badly so i can help add some good into this universe. Hopefully the wait wont be long!!!!! good luck to you!
AN INTERESTING PROJECT
Hello Everybody!
Just today I have discovered an interesting series of tests on facebook; one of the tests is called “What is Your 6th Sense?”
I would like to find a group of people who have all the possible 6th senses – so please do the 6th sense test on Facebook, and help me find the people who have the different 6th senses…
… then we become THE INVINCIBLE TEAM! :)))
This is fun, of course. But can have something serious in it.
András.
(The test is on my wall at Facebook, at András Béres)

Ahh,more. My friend tell me I can make things happen. If he says so…
My few powers, might be telepathy, and sometime intuition that help me in forecast events. Guess so, for my friend living abroad said he could feel my feeling or thoughts . For sure the intuition and forecast were many time very useful. Just not always I have that in same level.Now lately feel I lost most my power. Get to balance myself.
Hidden powers.
I have a deep intuitive power which could almost be on the level of being psychic.
I have also dived into dreams for guidance.
But, the greates power we have is LOVE.
It is easy to get seduced by certain powers, and then we become slaves to them.
It is as St Paul says in the Bible, that you may have the power of angels, profesy, and so many other powers, but without LOVE they are nothing.
LOVE is the true power we have in our hearts and souls. If we try to keep close to this power, then our true destinies will always unfold.
Blessings.

I have no idea..but all I know is that magic that is used to do harm,I will never touch.But I have no idea what are my inner powers but I know all of us have them.
I wasn’t able to find this tradition in wikipedia. I would love to read more about it until I get access to it at the library. Would love a link if anyone has one…
Yes, I am a witch but I try hard not to foster it or let it grow. I had a disastrous situation once when I made things happen.
Still, the power is there. I feel the energy of the universe moving. I can make things happen with my mind, even a small thought.
I can certainly relate to this. The couple of times in my life that I have tried to impose my will upon the course of events through what might be called “magic,” there was unmistakably an effect, but the outcome was both unexpected and/or disastrous. These incidents make me think of the magicians often depicted in children’s cartoons – the ones who, in their foolishness, try to cast some spell and end up casting it on themselves by accident. In neither case was I trying to hurt anyone in any way, but still the whole thing blew up in my face. I wouldn’t try it again because I realize that, unless you are certain of what you are doing and certain that you can control precisely the outcome, this is a very dangerous affair.
Just as, when you were little, your mother warned you to stay away from the stove, lest you get burned – so too is it with magic: unless you have someone to teach you and know what you are doing, don’t try it.
ahhahaah Paulo,
Voce jura que quer que as pessoas escrevam sobre isso em um fórum público com mais de 200 mil acessos por mes?
Abraços grandes!
Nde.
t was difficult to come back to life, and accept life with all its limits, injustices and so on.
But I’ve got a great Truth in me.
I’m no more afraid of death.
I simply know it doesn’t exist.
Then there are many other,”peculiarities” but this is a public blog and I keep them for me, by now.
Love

God is the only , the unique. Only God can we offer the gifts that we have; and we must be worthy of this . And not use for something else that LOVE.
I was born with kindness in my heart, I have learned mercy. I understood very young that I was different. I know that God is near me since any small. Spirituelleemnt i vis moments fort with God , the angels , Marie and my guardian angel.
Some premonitions are offered to me, I am able to ressentire the energy of the Love , the pure love of God and the angels , and the love of the soul of the world.
I can ressentire the feelings of a person to hundreds of kilometers of me (Paulo , it can still serve in the case of avalanche !!! Better than the dog, and the gourde , perhaps :-D )
I learn to refine the nuances of what I feel . i foresee also … i am my intuition and my felt.
I know sometimes when a person comes at home, or going to call me, or smser me, or connect on the net …etc etc . It is so.
If, in December the angels came to me to go to the mountain, tel Moses –etc. .etc , and lead me on the paths of st jacques and in lourdes etc etc and before among Paulo Coelho, and here on the blog,It is a preparation for my path that is emerging before my eyes, because I am the path that God draws before my eyes; and since the age of 9 years I know that his second call will be to guide .
R. A. M. or other , it is a path of faith which leads us toward the same goals , we all know , only the courage, faith and compassion make us what we are , and what we will be for him and by him.
Regardless of the details to reveal, only the love of the world directs our fighting for the well , for men , with the help of angels and of the love of God.
Alone must take precedence over the humility and faith. And path you will be open and you will see and will understand.
Love and faith.

Oh, that’s wonderful, Alexandra – you can read Romanian. I’ve been trying to use an online translator for Adrian’s posts, but the translations it offers are never clear enough for me to really understand. Wish I had the “magic” of knowing all languages!
