” I can see clearly now the rain has gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way,
gone are the dark clouds that had me blind,
it’s gonna be a bright,bright sunshiny day,
it’s gonna be a bright,bright sunshiny day,
I think I can make it now the pain has gone
all of the bad feelings have dissapeared,
here’s the rainbow I’ve been praying for
Look all around there’s nothing but blue sky, look straight ahead nothing but blue sky”
Sung by Johnny Nash
I’ve only been able to read just part of this book so far and I so hope to read the rest soon, but I wanted to say that the part that I read, about the older teacher as the younger woman’s soulmate was beautiful, as was when he left her alone in the wilderness as part of the teaching but was really there, hidden. That’s true love for the ages, when you care nothing for yourself nor for your own identity to be involved, and your only concern is for your Beloved. Loved it and can’t wait to read the rest.
…but why do we fall in love with our soulmate? Isn’t that narcissistic? It would seem much healther to fall in love with someone that is not part of our own being, more like an antipole. Not sure if I am making any sense but the best way to describe it in my words: it’s soul incest.
hm, interesting point of view. but then what about the people who say they love god or god only? considering that god is in all of us it follows that one loves oneself. then is the same situation.
anyway you cant fight against it. if you have met your twin-flame you would know. its something pulling you from inside. life is so. they also say that with your twin-flame you can unite with god and stop the incarnation process. but that is still to come.
so dont worry life will show you with whom you will fall in love :)
I wonder whether it is the soul that falls in love ….
a soul mate generates a different energy or atmosphere when one falls in love with them.
narcissistic …. in psychology: http://www.4therapy.com/consumer/conditions/article/4236/102/What+is+Narcissistic+Personality+Disorder%3F
don’t forget: a healthy self-love is important to thrive ….
Dear Mr. Coelho,
i just finished reading Brida. I already wrote the a bit about my opinion on the “other-half”(OH) in my previous post. I have read and i think i know why you finish it so. In order to give the people some hope. But it seems the wrong hope. Because the only hope for “The Magus” is to meet another OH if Brida does not coma back to him, otherwise he is doomed to be alone. In his heart. But if you mean by OH a twin-flame he is doomed for sure.
The power of meeting and being with your OH can not compare to any other love. If you have met your own you should know that. You can fall in love with another person and you can love but the connection which one feels with his OH is missing and that works from inside. One is meant to be with his OH in order to finish the path back to God. Is difficult i Know but that it is.
I would be very happy if i get some reply from you.
Wish you happiness.

PS: how can one meet a guide to help find one’s gift? I want to find mine.
Surely there must be some guidance in discovering your gift or gifts (we have at least one). I have been in search of my gifts for a long time and I have prayed to God to find it or them. At the moment, I am living one of the most important phases of my life. I have very strong signs that I have found my gifts and there are signs that they are two of them.At the moment, i am almost certain what they are ,but I am very careful talking about them because I want to verify it first,before I speak of them.Actually, before I can say in certain if I have them or not I have to be certain.All hints lead to the fact that I have discovered mine. I have mixed feelings about it.I feel amazing and blessed,on the other hand I feel weird because It is a huge responsibility and my life will change since I discovered them.It’s not only about me anymore.It also includes people around me.I have to spread my gifts,that is why they are given to me.
So, Look for yours,pray,pray,this is so so important, trust me.
God always gives us confirmation.
Do not forget that.

Hi Paulo,
God took love resp. my equilibrium away. What do I do?
Love
Maryon
Dear Maryon,
Realize that you had addressed your question to Paulo and do not wish to impose.
Just a little note, to let you know that you are not alone, and to share a couple of things that have helped me (and many others):
First link is to the Pirate Coelho page. Among the books is ‘The Way of the Bow’, great help for balance!
http://paulocoelhoblog.com/pirate-coelho/
And this link is Paulo discussing ‘Faith is Elemental’:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBWT3OrQ9wE&feature=related
As well in my own Blog, wrote about doubt not long ago. The day that I discovered the second link above, had been feeling rather disheartened. But read a poem by Rumi, next a friend stopped by with wonderful news, and finally found Paulo’s YouTube link. I left with a smile on my face and maybe you will feel a little better too.
Love, and a hug for your day,
Jane
Hi again,
i dont know what to think or do. Life is hairy :) if i may say so.
I have read that one can live without his/her Twin-flame(the other half, there is only one they say) after they meet but they dont get together. But, i dont feel so. Even if you find somebody else to love it is not the same. And if the love for the other-half is so great and spiritual and sexual and one that moves your spiritual growth furhter, how then one can willfully abandon such a gift? How to give up such a love or the fight for it? Its like to turn your face from “God”, as they say that such union is union with God and not only with your other-half. In my feeling one must not give up such a fight. Other wise one enters in a weird place of loving somebody else but one KNOWS he/she actually LOVES the OTHER-HALF and then one is split and not happy.
Im sorry for the weird language but its difficult to put all the feelings into words about that matter.
Happiness and sun for you all
Mi leyenda personal forma parte de la leyenda de mi otra parte, mi otra mitad. Una historia de amor puro en la que se vió afectada por factores externos que llevó al final presipitado de lo que pudo ser una magnifica relación. A pesar de lo acontesido aprendí que en el verdadero amor aunque los cuerpos estén distanciados el alma y la esencia estan juntas, la persona amada que recibió amor con tal magnitud nunca podrá ser olvidada por más que la mente lo desee, el corazón no la borrará, por qué en él dejó marcado la experiencia real de lo que es el amor.
Y en algún momento esas almas se reencontrarán, por que sus caminos estan unidos.
I believe it is possible to have more than one other half. Sometimes they come into your life and stay and sometimes they are with you for a short while.
Me and my other half have lived together for 17 years and we are the best of friends, sometimes the relationship is sexual sometimes its not. He lets me be me without judgement this is what makes him my other half. we love and care for each other deeply.
When i recognized that I had yet another other half, i was free to join with him. We were together for but a short while, and he had to move on because he too had another other half.
I don’t feel less of a person because we could not stay together as a matter of fact I feel blessed to have had him for the time that I did. our souls connected in this life and then we moved on to continue our personal legends. We both recognized that the other needed to be part of that legend.
If I see him again in this life, then I would be twice blessed. If not, I also know that we would meet again in the next.
Blessings to all
Sinn
I met Joonas 6 months ago. We complete in so many things. We can finish each other sentences. We have the same dreams, although we were born in different countries and raised in so different way (he’s finnish and I’m portuguese). When he comes in a place where I am, is like the Sun itself was coming too, full of live, warmth and light. But, what really touches me (and I get amazed with that) is that, when he looks at my eyes, I can feel his look touching me, not only my soul, but even my body. When he smiles, I feel like a new star was born in the Universe and I’m able to see it happen. At night we can connect with each other by thoughts. I know if he is near because I can feel him, even when I’m not able to see him.
I love the way he is, I love when he sings for me, I love that he cares about my dreams, I love talk with him hours and hours, I love to know my presence makes him happy. But what I really love is him.
That person, that soul and that body. Only that, that human being next to me who looks so little compared with so many wonders in this World, but if you look at him paying full attention he becomes the greatest wonder of all. I love him.
I know we were one once. He’s a part of my soul. He’s my soulmate.
No, we are not together, we are only friends. Although we know each other feelings and we already admit we love each other, for now we only keep friends. There are somethings in line right now, and we decided for the best loving us like this, purely, sicerely and quietly. But I don’t lose my smile, because he’s the greatest thing happened in my life.
I agree with you….
It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations. Kahlil Gibran
For me, this describes a soul mate. I don’t think we are always aware that the spiritual affinity is taking place, but one day soon after the meeting our conscious mind catches up with our subconscious and it all becomes clear. I think we can live happily with another partner, but true sincere love comes when the souls meet.
The Other Half
I met one man who made my heart sing. He melted the rock that surrounded my heart. We went out once, he never touched me or built me up in a superficial way…by essentially doing nothing he did everything. After the first date he went away because he was mending a broken heart (and I do not hold that against him in fact because he did not bs me, I have even MORE respect for him!!) He has walked in my dreams on many occasions. I have no way of calling him or finding him. I am actually stuck out in Arizona with no money, my phone is about to be shut off too…basically, I have no way of finding him. But I also know that the impact he made on me saved me from an abusive relationship with another man. I think of him as an angel. My soul no longer cries out for him like it did in the past because it was my longing for him that inspired me to change (NOT for him, but for me) and it gave me the strength to get out of some really sticky situations.
Then there is another man that I met five years ago. With just a smile my heart lept. We had only e-mailed each other, but the cool thing was that we prayed for one another. I remember I was in one part of the state and he on the opposite end, but we recollect being under the same moon (it was an insanely large and full moon). I could talk to him about things of the spirit without feeling judged. When I graduated college, I remember walking down the aisle (keep in mind there were 20,000 graduating students and about equal to that of the audience in the stadium) and I could feel a presence…I just knew this guy was there. Now, here’s the freaky part: he had gotten into a wreck that almost killed him and that was why we e-mailed each other…I didn’t EVEN THINK he would even go to a graduation in a crowded stadium (but his younger brother was graduating). So my heart is on full alert (this intuitive feeling was very new to me at the time as well), and I just knew he saw me even though I couldnt’ see him. I went off to Africa and upon my return I spewed out my feelings for him. He didn’t feel the same and I couldn’t handle it…bascially I got a little stalkerish. I couldn’t handle it because I felt like I was losing someone very important to my soul (even if I was unable to communicate it back then in that way)…I just knew this was a devastating loss. He was the only one who ever asked me how my spirit was and I believe he meant it. When I was in Chicago I saw how destiny was leading me towards him, but our paths never crossed. But as I said above, I am stuck in Arizona…unless the Universe bestows upon me a huge miracle (which I wouldn’t put it past the Universe…a lot of amazing things have happened to me)…I can not reconcile with this person. And it is because I feel the need to reconcile with this person that I am not sure if he is my soul mate. I honestly feel sometimes that the universe forgot to give me one. It is so hard to have faith (even though it is the only light we have) when you are so used to living in the dark and have been in the dark for so long.
I have read your story and wanted to say, although you already know this, quite often people come into our lives just to show us the way and to teach us things about ourselves that we seem to miss. Even when someone is no longer in our life the essence of their soul stays with us so we still learn and change to become the person that we desire to be. I think your need to reconcile is because your soul connected with the other person and it felt good and nourishing for your inner self. It taught you to have faith in your intuition. You want the connection with them as it is rare for the soul to feel this way, so it wants more of it! This isn’t always about the person being ‘the one’ but more about them being a part of your soul and your own personal destiny.
Sometimes we feel stuck in situations but you have faith in the universe which is why it will help you to make the changes you want.
i believe there is only one other half… and that one other half destiny can give you if you are lucky enough… Usually the other half is achieved through much struggle,
i do not understand why, yet just as the whole universe conspires to give you that which you want badly, in case of the other half, the whole universe sort of tests your will to ACHIEVE it through a struggle…
then that struggle becomes your legend.
That is very interesting what you said, as I am exactly at such a point in my life right now. I’ve met someone, but for various reasons it is almost a real struggle to advance even an inch, though we both have feelings for each other. So while my mind tells me to let go, my intuition tells me to keep going against all reason… I wonder what will come in the end.
hi everyone,
i have read brida and i loved it.it says that we can have more than one soul mates.i am in love with a guy but he betrayed me.now it has been 5yrs and still i am not able to accept anyone in my life. whenever i think of someone else, i end up thinking my past.i wonder if i would be able to love again. please help me friends i need your say on this.hoping for a reply soon.
with love,
naveli
The same thing happened to me, and it was every time I was getting on my feet or finding a spiritually serene spot, he would come back around and completely knock me off track. I had to stand up to this man consistently for two years before he finally went away. It wasn’t until I met, who I consider an angel that the universe took a vacuumm to my heart and sucked the other one out, but I still had to hold my ground. I did and I am free of him, and the liberation is priceless (almost to the point where I don’t want to date right now because I am loving the freedom my heart has right now. I feel like I recovered a five year bought with the flu and have all of the energy of the world). What got me started was asking God or the Universe (whoever you pray to) to show me someone better than the man I was so hooked on. I knew that holding on to him wasn’t any good, BUT I hadn’t met anyone that seemed like an improvement. Now be aware if you ask for this: should the universe take this approach with you, it does not necessarily mean you will keep the one that comes in. This was an extremely hard lesson for me to learn. If things do not work out, remember what you prayed for and that was for the universe to show you that there are guys who won’t deceive you. Their presence was merely to help you see through the muck your heart’s eyes have been muddied by okay. [It is risky, but I would do it all over again because that guy that I couldn't keep made an impact on me that would actually save my life one day]
You might be looking back because it is familiar. Letting go means relinquishing that foundation you were so used to standing on and free falling for a little bit. It is scary and uncomfortable, but what I advise you to do is to embrace those butterflies you will feel in your stomach when you are free falling away from the man who did this to you. The unkown is scary, but when you truly put your faith in the universe, you will find there wasn’t too much to be afraid of to begin with :) Many blessings and best of luck to you!!
the other half is “the other side of the world”.

Thank you!
Dear Paulo
How many other halves can we meet in a lifetime?
Love
Adriana
Dear Marta,
I wonder if the possibilities are infinite. It’s almost as if at one point in our lives, our hearts shatter, so we glue the pieces in place, but there are gaps because some of those pieces fell in between the cracks. So the gaps become filled with those we make soul connections to.
Peace :)
Dear paulo,
In Brida you write of several things that has been on my mind since I was six years old. (now 35) I find it amusing that others as your self have putt these thoughts in to words in a book.
When I read your book Brida this summer 2009 I started to wonder if maybe I was not just fantasising as a six year old? I mean if more people feel the same, think the same maybe it means something?
Most of the time I try to live here and now, but my daydreams are with me always as if they are a second reality to me. So far this has been my own personal and very privet retreat from reality, never really felt like sharing it until after reading Brida. You are too close to my second reality and now I want to know more – maybe that could be a way for me to understand myself better?
The things you wrote about that caught my attention are:
The splitting of the souls (universal soul)
Teachers and students (lonlyness)
The other half
When I was six years old I had a dream. I was in space and all darkness around except for a large floating materia. The materia was black but glistening like dimonds – millions of dimonds. It’s movement looked like the waves of the ocean, very peace full and beautiful. To me it ment all of the universe’s life gathered in one place. Then it split up in to particles and each particle was a light or dimond. They left each other to fall in to all living things, trees, humans, animals, flowers, oceans, stones what ever we see and can touch there was a dimond settling in that. My own theory at that time was that “soulmates” where dimonds that had been close to each other when the materia was in one piece. And when we liked people instinctively here on earth it meant that those souls had been close in the whole piece or had been near to us in the time of creation. This was my fantasy. Even if it is different to what you write, it is not too far of. You still speak of a whole mass that split up into all living things. But you do not describe trees and other life forms.
Regarding teachers and students, I have always felt like a muse. I give as much as I can to those I meet and I love when I can help them in any way. This probably sounds stupid but some times I feel like I see inside others, I can tell them what is too obvious for them to do, and they think this is help.
I just never had the same experience happening to me. I am in need of help too. Some times I pray that help and understanding will come my way because I feel lonely. And that brings me to your book again. You wrote that the Magus had been sentenced to loneliness until he could learn his lesson because he made a mistake.
Some how I found comfort in that. Maybe I have to be lonely to learn some thing important? But to be honest, I am tired of loneliness at this point. I don’t mind it some times, I am getting good at it. Travelling alone, eating alone, sleeping alone and so on. I have lots of friends during the daytime, but it ends there. And I do so much want to believe that I too have a other half.
Observing
Always I think of people as humans. They are humans an I am one observer. When they project love, humour and other loving human feelings I can laugh out loud for my self. It makes me happy. But then again said, because I too rarely take part in that my self. I want to be a part of that, a part of a family, have children and fall a sleep by the side of a man that I love and who loves me. But more and more I feel like the muse, inspiring others, helping them and then to go home alone, again. To what purpose I ask my self? I hate to sleep, it makes me sad. So I stay up late, writing, painting, watching TV, films, surf the Internet until I am exhausted and simply fall asleep on the sofa with all my cloth on. Happens at least 4 times a week. Bad habit, I know.
The other halves,
If your theory is true, we split our souls many times, and they always split into male and female. That means that we have other halves that are of the same gender as our selves. Since we can not mate with them, what do they become to us when we meet them? Best of friends? Mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters? Do we recognize them? We should, since they are a part of our complete soul, I would think. In my life I have some how always believed in soul mates. What ever is true I don’t know, but there are people that I liked in an instant and those are some how always near by after that. At least we humans have the possibility to love and to get attached, some more and some less. We also some times feel the other way, hate, fear and discussed by others. What does that mean? That they are too far away from us in the universal soul? That they are bad carma from another times? Why I ask my self? Are they newly baked souls trying to learn compassion? Is it hard in the beginning to learn compassion? Is that why we are here, to learn to love? I really hope so. Love is great and I strongly believe that giving love makes it grow in all of us.
I don’t know if I am expecting an answer to this at all. But if there is a question hidden in the text above it would be: Am I here to help others and to die alone? Is that my purpose here on earth?
Thank you Paulo for writing so beautifully that gives me an opportunity to escape the reality in such a southing way.
Karin
can we meet in the sea of tranquility?
Karin
I loved your comment. You’re a pure soul, I can see that . I love the way you opened your heart to us, thank you for that. Most peole hide their doubts and despair because they make them appear weak. I don’t know what to tell you to confort you because I myself desperate now, but I’m with you.
Much love
Adriana
Dear Karin,
Friendship takes time, but in some situations friendship grows faster and that is when we have a task to solve together with others. And love is always around the corner. I did meet my soulmate, but we did not end up together, but I have still a lot of love in my life and there are many people out there to love and to get loved by. But keep looking and you will find.
Love Malin
dont confuse your soulmate for a balance partner, you can have more than one of these at a time very much necessary to progress spiritually but if you think youve found your soulmate your in for trouble.
some of us see the bigger picture more than others, it will all amount to the same thing one day of which we will all just have to wai and see.
Dear Karin,
First of all I have to humble myself before the universe for sending your words. Because, for the first time there is someone who has been feeling the same way I do. Always helping and being there, but feeling as though there is really no one out there looking out for you. I am so used to my lonliness and so comfortable with the idea of falling in love with someone then losing them, that I have become my own island…even though it is not what I desire. What helps me is that only a handfull of souls can really handle this with grace, like you have, and that must mean (it just has to mean) that the universe has placed a great deal of faith in you (I implore that you meditate upon that thought to help you out). It is very difficult for me to conjur up support from friends on a regular basis, but I know that when my soul is in trouble, I make that grievance very loud and clear to the universe, and in unexpected ways the universe does help. Right now, my soul is in great turmoil, I am approaching the end of a spiritual journey (most likely to begin a new one), but I am in geographical limbo. I still have deep scars from past relationships. Even though I have forgiven my birth mother for giving me up and my adoptive parents for abusing me, I am still scarred.
But here is what helps me: The universe restores that which has been lost. So, for the lack of parental nurturing and the abandonment, the universe always brings in these mother figures from around the world (why they are mostly from the Middle East, Africa and India I am not sure, but I am grateful for them); my siblings also have given me the support I so badly needed. Even though I do not have a core group of friends, the universe restores me through relationships that have powerful impacts on me. The universe taught me how to use my outgoing personality to impact people in such a way that I can go away for a few months at a time, but still be remembered as though I just saw them the next day. I can trust in that and that goes a long way. As for a soul mate–I don’t know who he is. All’s I know is that I have only met one person in my lifetime who was genuinely concerned about my spirit–he asked about it once, but I will never forget (we had a falling out soon after that and it was my fault so I probably won’t be able to see this one until next lifetime). So if I miss him in this lifetime, I can at least burn that into my soul’s memory for the next go around.
This is not an easy life…we feel so blessed because we able to give so much unconditionally and help so many, but we do have endure lonliness to a hair-raising degree. Look around and see how the Universe restores you on a daily basis. You’ll find that you’re not as lonely as you think. [I know for me, I most likely will not have a family because I had one mother abandon me and the other abused me...so I will not be fit to be a mother (even though my heart insists on challenging that theory).] The Universe knows how hard we have it…remember there is infinite love in the universe. It brought you here and as you can see (through my story), you’re not as alone as you think you are.
I believe with all of my heart that you will have what you deserve. You wouldn’t be able to the muse you are if the Universe wasn’t taking care of you. Thank you again for sharing your pain.
Sir,
I want to ask that whether having sex with a friend a crime if you know that she’s not going to be with you in the life that is awaiting you in the future? I am in a big dilemma and not able to decide whether I love the girl or not as in case of Brida and her boyfriend.
Please help me out in this.
Love
Nipun
Namaste,
The other half is, perhaps, an old concept, but an odd one to me. I see us all as parts of a puzzle. Perhaps that’s why we can meet many of us through our various soul mates. I don’t know if that’s true about the light, but I love the concept. It takes romance to a new level.
I wondered about Wicca’s observations to herself when Brida asked about meeting more than one soul mate. If the Magus did not have that light nor did her lover for whom she left the Magus, why did she have such a thought. She knew her heartache from two men who were not her soul mate and didn’t express knowledge about her actual soul mate. I don’t really know how to express my confusion there but it made me wonder more about Wicca and her soul mate. Perhaps when a Trinity of Soul Mates are united it’s her situation squared.
Anyway, I loved this explanation of our interconnection as humans. I’m still meditating on this concept.
Love to you
Dear Paulo,
Brida is my favourite of all your books…
I first read it quite a few years ago, and re-read it again and again from time to time. I found it by chance at the perfect moment in my life, and your story went direct to my soul since I felt like I was reading the story of my life…and my Other Half…
He’s been for more than a decade both my Magus and my Other-Half…Revealing, sharing, teaching, letting us go appart and returning to my life again and again…
and it’s funny how he never calls me by name anymore, but calls me Brida ever since I recommended the book to him…
We’re going through a bad crisis right now, but I know that even if we are not to be together again, he’ll allways be my Other Half and I’ll always be like Brida… and I’ll re-read my story reflected in your book each time i’ll go throuhg its pages…
How can you do that? Catch and communicate the essence of the people and the feelings so you reach every soul and make so many people feel aware?
Congrats for your talent, and thanks for sharing it :-D
P.S. in what refers to finding more than one “Other Half”… in my case, we both have felt 2 or 3 times we’d found some one else… but in the end we’ve always ended up together again every time after… Can one “Other Half” be always more intense than others, no matter if we still think can have more than one soul mate?
i guess only the Universe can have the answer :-) I’ll keep waiting to see if my answer comes…
I’ve read Brida a yeah ago. And somehow I felt afraid of the concept for the several soul mates we might have.
And still… this is a book I cannot forget. I even feel like living it. With all the joy and pain in the similar story. I’ve never thought this might happen to me – to be at a crossroad, but it happened. I experienced some troubles and I had to start over lots of thing, to change my location and to have a new beginning. I start searching for me and my own path.
Than I met someone who seemed to be the ordinary guy, giving me attention, but not fully understanding me. And some months later I met the other, who I felt as a teacher. At the first sight no one felt tempted by the other but it came with the time our friendship got deeper and deeper. He walked me through some paths finding who I am. And it happened.. we both wanted each other.
And now I feel like choosing between being with the teacher who is ready to give and to share; and between the pupil who has what to learn from me. And the several times I’ve tried to stop my connection with anyone of them, I felt like my soul is crying. All the time I had the feel of joy, it was followed by the pain in me. Is that the prise?! And how it is possible to choose which one is yr soul mate?
Lu
It also happened to me. The book led me to meet one of my other halves. However, it was only one. I think, it might be that you found two at the same time just as Brida did.
I think is really interesting because you want to be with both of them. Some people can manage to do that, others can’t.
The only thing you can do is to follow what your heart whispers.
And , yes, love is always going to take you to both heaven and hell.

When I read this novel,i was a bit dissapointed about the idea,that we can have more than one another half of you,If really I still believe that we have only One The Most Important Another Half or soulmate or whatewher.And also I have a question. Can you help me to understand what Brida meant when she asked Wikka question that only one part can understand who is she?
I just finished reading “Brida” and I have to accept that I was kind of dissapointed with the end because it left me with more questions than answer. If Brida was the Magus’s sould mate why didn’t she loved him? Isn’t been a person’s sould mate as been the other half? the love of their life? what is the message? Paulo please…
Dear Zuleika
The first time I read it I was also dissapointed. This happens because we were taught that we can only be happy if we have the loved one by our side, which means that love comes true when we own the person we love. This is not like that. I came to realize this the worst possible way, through the suffering of loss of my other half. The main moral of the book concerning the other half is that Love has no posessions or as Paulo states Love is freedom, and we cannot manipulate it to make it fit our own desires. Besides, remember that Brida was not in love with The Magus. She says:” I don’t yet know my love for you but I do love you”. She is in love with Lorens and it turns out that Lorens is another one of Brida’s halves because The Magus is able to see the light on his left shoulder. He calls out Brida at The Sabbat, but the one who turns about is Lorens. So The Magus willingly lets go Brida and the realization that he’ll always have Brida because he cannot possess her is his other half main teaching. Please, Zuleyca, don’t you think that I’m showing off , I’m just explaining this to myself too, because the loss of my other half happened recently and I’m crying and telling this story to you and to whomever wants to listen to because I need to let it go to enjoy my love without pain. Thank you for your question. I’m trying to let the Virgin to guide my love in the right direction without me worrying about it and to keep faith that another one of my other halves will be soon by my side.
Love

Dear Zuleica!
I’m a lot better now, it did worked telling my story to you because I’m really happy now, no suffering more pain. I just wanted to let you know that the other half may not love you the same way you do.
In my case, he wasn’t prepared to love me ,not because he did not want but the timing wasn’t right, I can see it clearly now, I saw his inner conflicts, his need of someone by his side to support him, I wanted to show him that he should pursue his dreams , but we didn’t have enough time, he had a gloomier view of life and his own explanations I couldn’t counter argue out of respect for his opinions.
So I decided to act subtler and for the anniversary of our first encounter two months ago I translated into Spanish “The conversations with the Master” I downloaded from this site, thinking they might enlighten him about things that really matter in life like The Personal Legend, The tedium, The Tragedy and others I saw he needed to read.
I burnt a CD with the file, a letter and a photo from me, and gave it to him, but I think he hasn’t read them yet. He’s kind of not interested in what I write to him. He says he doesn’t have time. I don’t blame on him, he was just not prepared.
And I still love him and always will and am very happy about our being together. I realized it was just time for me to wait, who knows , things might change for the future or they might not, the main thing I’m not sad anymore and I experienced a love that will never be lost and last forever.
Thanks for listening.
Love
Adriana
The message is Love, and how it can be both heaven or hell. Some people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, and with each one, it’s a process of learning. Even if we are soul mates, as the description Wicca gave, one may have millions and millions of soul mates, we cannot stay with each one indefinitely, then we’ll never meet the other ones. And of course always, parting from love is painful, and how we can transform that pain, is alchemy.
Love is everywhere, it is everything, so, it is inevitable. Sooner or later, we meet love face to face, and where that love leads is a part of ones destiny.
Love, what a wonderful thing!

Once you recognise a loved one, you can never loose him/her anymore. Even when death takes this person’s body away from or visual world, even when your partner who you still love, leaves you to be with another person… When you really love a soul, it doesn’t matter if that person is or is not in your life as a human friend or partner. You cannot loose someone you love. You stay connected on an invisible level, although this person might reject you for the rest of your human life. All love will return to you one day. It might not be in this lifetime but where love exists it can only blossom and spread more love. Maybe sometimes we have to give up physical togetherness with our loved ones, but that doesn’t mean you give up on loving someone or that you loose someone. It is not because someone leaves you or someone dies that you loose someone.
It is not because you let some one go that you loose that someone, not in your heart:and what lives in the heart is the only reality that survives death and really matters in the end.
Amazing!!! I completely agree with the way you think. Thank you for explaining it so beautifully.
This sounds really wonderful!! And I am very impressed and touched if people really could live it like this!!
Yesterday I bought Brida again to be able to read it in English. I cannot help it , but read it over and over because every time I read it I find new wonderful thoughts I hadn’t notice the previous time. It sounds to me like heavenly music, and I know it led me to meet my other half whom I’ll also always remember just as the Magus says to Brida. Whenever I read it I cry out of a strong emotion because it touches me deeply. Thank you very much, Paulo , for delivering to us such a wonderful masterpiece . Lots of love and
may God bless you all!
seriously i too deliberately want to know if this seeing the light on d left shoulder concept exists……so if anyone knows about it more please do drop don some details.
It does exist in the Tradition of the Moon, but I don’t encourage you to go for it. Try the normal path – take your risks.
We are always connected with those we love, no matter they are with us or not. It is just the matter of our choice whether we are fulfilled with joy that such person exists and we were so lucky to meet her/him at all, even for a brief moment, or drowning in grief.
We can even be unhappy being together with “The One” unless we are not working on relationship all the time. Sometimes we even lose her/him, just for the sake of learning not to make the same mistake in this life or the next, which is not a small achievement.
And there is also the funny thing that some people learn through peaceful cooperation and some of them through conflict (until they get tired, hopefully).
It is also good to know, in case we get separated, that “each end is the new beginning” and new challenge. If we, somehow, even manage to miss or lose “The One”, there is plenty of “The Other Ones” God mercifully places in our way. Only our own gloom, bitterness or lack of faith may prevent us recognizing them…
so true!
ok i guess it is the right thing to do i mean even if you know it is your other half sometimes it is not that easy and you have to let him go i met him like 3 years and a half ago and i havent realized he was my other half but now i know it and it is too late so meet him to let him go it is difficult but it is better this way
He was like a part of me… loosing him means to feel like loosing an arm or a leg… breathing was so simple when he was by my side… loosing him means to be breathless… he was my home… first of my lifetime I felt complete and quiet inside… it was like staying in the eye of the tornado, breathing after the years of breathlessness and finding my home, I eternally searched for…
this is so wonderfully said!
Meeting your other half is not as romantic like a lot of people think!! It often means pain and confusion. Plato wrote something about it in his book “Symposium”… the story about the round man… perhaps you want read something about it… I searched the net and found a link in english (I am from Germany and I have to search a while, because I don’t know the english word for “Kugelmensch”). Please take a look here: http://www.anselm.edu/homepage/dbanach/sym.htm
well, we can see that from long ago people tried to explain our nature.thanks for sharing.
I’ve been thinking the same..why let go Brida?? Is it enough just knowing that he/she exists and we could move further? The difficult part to deal with is the fact that once you’ve been really lucky to meet your other half you should understand that they do not belong to you…
Sometimes it is exactly like that: meeting someone to let him go…
During their initial interaction, Wicca explains Soul Mates to Brida, describing a continuous splitting of the Soul of the World, as the physical population increases. This explanation allows for the possibility of multiple Soul Mates during a single incarnation.
Wicca stipulates that the soul always divides male-female, and she states that Love is the process of finding ourselves. My response to the question, “Why did Magus let Brida go?” ….When Magus alters his consciousness to locate Brida among all the people attending the initiation party, his awareness reveals the energy, the auras surrounding each, and he is searching for the light matching his own light. Yet when he sees and approaches the source of light, although he speaks the name “Brida”, it is Lorens who turns around. My interpretation of this occurrence is that Magus recognizes Lorens as a part of himself, even as Brida is part of himself. I believe he is willing to “let go” of Brida for two reasons: he realizes that, although not with one Soul Mate (Magus), she will be with another(Lorens); secondly, it is not the need of his soul to experience more with Brida. By recognizing her as a Soul Mate, he experiences love again, which reopens a path he had closed after his relationship with Wicca. Magus says to Brida, “You came to free me from the slavery I myself had created, to tell me that I was free to return to the world and to the things of the world…I will always remember now that love is liberty.” In the Witch of Portabello, Paulo references a poet, Gibran Khalil Gibran. In his work, “The Prophet”, on Love, Gibran writes, “Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.” On Joy and Sorrow, Gibran writes, “Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.” One last thought from “Emmanuel’s Book”, a favorite of mine: “In truth, when one is so determined to find the one eternal relationship, there is a weightiness that comes about the heart that disavows its own wisdom…There are many incarnations in which there is no place or reason for the one ultimate relationship…Souls come together, not to remain together in physical contact, but to grow. When this has taken place the gifts have been given and the lessons have been learned. So don’t you agree that it’s time to move on?”
I met HIM 3 years ago and I don’t saw a light over his shoulder, but I saw a ribbon out of light between him and me. It was like a connection from my solar plexus to his and its diameter was like the diameter of my arm. It seemed to be out of bright, white light and was weaved by small blue wires out of light. I am so sorry for my bad English, I try to explain my experiences and I hope you will understand.
One thing I found very interesting and something that I had never heard of before is this idea of seeing a light over the shoulder of one’s soul mate. I am wondering if this is really a part of some tradition, or did you just make it up? Are there individuals who are really capable of perceiving this light?
Yes, for me this was very interesting too! I really like to know is this possible to see this little light over the shoulder of one’s soul mate. Or is it just to make the story more fascinating?
Please tell us Paulo :)
More, is that idea one that suggests the myth of the Androgyn, the perfect being?
Yes, I’ve always been fascinated by the images of the Androgyn in art and religion, particularly in the visual art of alchemy. Here are a few of those images:
http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/sta/img/14300.jpg

http://occult-advances.org/images/Chakras_Johann_Georg_Gichtel.jpg
In fact, I think that’s what makes the Mona Lisa so compelling – it is the perfect depiction of an androgynous figure, with no line down the middle separating the two halves.
http://www.touchandchange.com/artman/uploads/monalisa.jpg
Once again, I could not understand why the Magus let go Brida. If they were two halves of the one thing, why they were not together? Or was enough one time???
I believe we all have to find our half and maybe one life is not enough. Hope still will be enough in my case…
Sometimes the Universe needs a soul to learn a major lesson in order to prepare you for the rest of your existence, or the next life…Brida was that lesson. Better that lesson be taught through a soulmate, than a soul who was out for vengeance from a previous life.
WONDERFUL IMAGES, THANK YOU.
I´m fascinated too, thank you for rememberance
How interesting ,Savita !
I think about him every day, since 3 years. But I have to let him go, like the magus do with Brida… It’s becoming easier meanwhile, but it’s like Paulo wrote at the end of the book: I will always remember him.
Thank you for the images.
I lived very similar love… I’ve wrote, in these days: “I would like to be like your arm, or your leg” because I felt like that. I understand you: We will always remember. But new love, sometimes, need conscious oblivion, return to childhood, like “reset” your soul, because that is the most important thing, which let you feel life and love, the soul. When you are empty of souvenirs love back to you, in your present, because we need to love, our body is soul’s house, and body needs love! Sorry about my bad english, but your words touched me.
HI
I often see lights over peoples shoulders… Many peoples…
I think there are many soul mates… not just one. Daily in exchanges I see lights flashing… TOnight at least over 4 people…
I don’t think it’s just over this “special “one”
Lights for me are truth, connection “listen carefully” be present…
There help me ot know where to follow the energy!
Love
Natalie
You have to go into some sort of a trance Paulo said.
:)
Dear Paulo
thank you so much for replying.
when it comes to this soul mate concept i feel like wow…..and being honest to you i got to know it better from your book Brida only. by normal path does it mean to wait for my soul mate to come in my life and then me to realize that he is the one……..and if i fail to recognize him then i have to wait for another lifetime. can u please give some finer details about it………
it will really a pleasure hearing from you further
I have seen it – without trying, without even knowing about it. I just finished reading Brida and now I know what I saw. But, still I am unsure of what to do with the knowledge.
Wonderful! That’s the way I understood the Magus decision about letting go Brida.
Lots os love
Adriana
Sure it is :)
One should be joyful if the other one finds her/his path, which can even separate us at some point, just because she/he has found The Path! Finding our own path and daring walking along it takes great courage, which Fatima realized in “The Alchemist”, and let Santiago go.
So, the least we can do, if our “other half” finds it, is to give our support, even if that means the end of our relationship.
In fact, there is no end in relationship. It is just an illusion – if two people care about each other, they are energetically connected and support each other, although they might never meet again in this life.
“If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they’re yours; if they don’t they never were.” – Richard Bach
Dear Adriana!
When I read your last words, I can feel your pain.
You wrote: “…because I need to let it go to enjoy my love without pain.” That’s the way I did.
Today I am in love with a wonderful man and every day I hold my hands up to the sky to thank god for sending me this angel. But I still love HIM. Deep in my heart, in my soul there is this love, no longer waiting for coming true, but still a part of me.
He touched me so deep. He changed my life, my world, my love. And my worst enemy is the bitterness… I have to fight against it every day of my life, but it’s becoming easier from day to day.
The pain will stay, but you are getting used to it.
Love to you…
Asja
dear Adriana,
I understand how you feel and I think it’s wonderful you are able to this in this light. You must really love a person to do this. This whole experience taught you something about what love is. To love someone is never useless. Bless you. And Yes, new love is on it’s way again!
DEAR adriana
i read brida recently and as your friend zuleica i too was a little confused and so i looked the blog . i dont know whether my reading is correct.i will like to share it with you. i agree that author wantd to convey the idea that we can love something without possessing it.and i also felt that the magus didnt accept brida because he wanted to repent a mistake he had done to another soulmate by killing her lover to have possession of her.after this incident ,to purify himself or to learn from his mistake he led a secluded life and allows brida to go with lorenz. i would like to know your valuable opinion….
Thank you very much for your support.
Love
Adriana
Hey,
Thanks for the replies. I know what you mean Adriana when you said we need to set the person we love free. But I always had the understanding that our soulmate would feel the same for us because he/she is our other half,a part of ourself that’s why is call “soulmate”. Moreover, I know exactly how you feel about losing the person you love, the only advice I can give you is that time is the answer for everything, give time to time. I will not asure you you will stop loving him but it helps a lot.
Take care and always think there is someone out there waiting for you, you just have to meet eachother!
when u meet ur soulmate, in this special union ur soul is deeply touched by ur other half…its a wonderful experience eventhough he is not with me i share his joy n suffer the pain he is going through…i hope he returns someday ,,,through our union i realised the capacity to love someone more than ur ownself n to give ur self fully when i time comes…we neve even shook hands but a very powerful force surrounded us….i hope everyone experience this especial feeling n be prepared fully when the time comes….
Hello Marta,
What a wonderful gift you gifted. I’ve also read them and I was So moved that Paulo wrote them when I first saw them. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them.
Sounds like you had a Wonderful experience.
Blessings,
C.
HI,
Adriana I’m glad you feel ok now. My experience was quiet different. I don’t know if he was my sould mate or not but he definately IS a big part of my life. In this case, I was the one who was not ready to love him, well not at that moment. We were too young and inexperinced. I wish him the best and really hope the person he is with now make him happy because he does deserve it. I would really like to read the books you mentioned, I tried to find it but could not. Do you know the names of the authors?
Carolena you are so right “Some people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime” and all of them come with a purpose and teach us something.
Take care!
Dear Carolena!
Thank you for your reply. I’ve been browsing comments on this site lately and I saw you’re a regular on this blog. Let me tell you I feel strongly attracted to read what you write, even though I don’t usually comment anything. You have Angel, as we might say in Spanish, meaning charisma.
I did had a wonderful experience with this guy. It kept me in ecstasy for about seven months. The first time we met it was at a dance and I felt the connection between us two inmediately. I’ve no doubt that if I were able to provoke the state that witches do I would be able to see the light on his left shoulder. What I feel for him is a mixture of Eros, Philos and Agape and Agape keeps from having any resentments. I think I’m still having a wonderful experience because the feeling is very strong despite the separation.
Well, it’s time to go.
May God bless you always.
Adriana
Dear Zuleica!
It is so nice to read about your experience now that you know mine. That means ice has been broken and we can listen to one another in a freelier way. I don’t know if that word exists, but let’s learn languages through trial and error.
This is not a book itself , the titles mentioned like The Personal Legend, The tragedy and others belong to a series of conversations Paulo kept with his Master in the eighties. They are called “Conversations with the Master”. He found the notes when moving and asked from him permission to publish them.
I downloaded the file from this site not so long ago. They are in Adobe format under the name of WARRIOR OF THE LIGHT 2. When the blog changed its format, I think they removed The Free Texts part, but I don’t know for sure. Maybe they are now at the home page. I will look for them and let you know.
Love
Adriana
Warriors of the light 2?? where is that? I found them in the archives, under stories!
Zuleica and Carolena
At the home page, there is a title that reads Free Internet Books. There are several free books there: The way of the Bow, Stories for parents , grandparents and children, and Three volumes of The Warrior of the Light. You can find ” Conversations with the Master” in the second volume .
Hope this is useful
Mucho amor
Adriana
Marta,
I looked but ‘Conversations with the Master’ is not on that page! The other are. I got them from the archives, but it is not there where you are referring, unless I’m looking in the wrong section. But I don’t believe I am since the other books you mentioned Are there!
love
C.
Dear Carolena!
I found the conversations you said in the Archives under Stories. They are the same that are in the second volume of the Warrior of the Light , you just have to open it. They are not under that name, they are in The Warrior of the light Volume 2. I hope Zuleica can find them in either place.
Hugs and kisses
Adriana
I see, that makes sense. God bless you!

Beautiful words, thanks a lot.

Dear Sabhita
It’s a pleasure to give you my opinion.
I consider that the Magus separated the woman he loved at that time from a lover she had with his magical powers. This woman was not his soul mate, but he felt he couldn’t do without her.( I think this feeling is very common among people in love, and most of us have felt it. I myself felt it not so long ago. )
The thing is, he interfered with others’ free will by splitting them up with the aid of his powers . His Master punished him and that’s why he lived in seclusion when he met Brida.
He fell in love with her, but she had a boyfriend, Lorens, who turns out to be another one of Brida’s halves. He is the key to understand why he let go Brida. At the Sabbath, the Magus discovers that Lorens is another soulmate because when provoking the trance to see the light over Brida’s left shoulder the one who turns around is Lorens. And he instantly understands that he has to let her go, that he was doomed to meet his solumate but never to stay by her.
Sometimes, soulmates come to our lives not to stay with us , but to teach us something.
Freedom was the lesson he needed to learn, and this time he is mature enough to let go. I also think very important to point out that he does this not out of guilt , but out of wisdom and maturity. He is not punishing himself anymore. His final words point out that from that day on he was going to be more cheerful and enjoy the rest of his life the best way he could.
In regard to this I remember having read one of Antony de Mello’s books in which he stated that the source of our suffering is attachment. We confuse love with attachment and there is when suffering begins. In order to set us free we have to be able to love without attachments.
Hope it was helpful.
All the best
Adriana
Thank you, Marta!
The strange thing is that the only time I can feel or hear my soul is when it’s crying.
I know whatever I choose, it will be crying. I just don’t know which is the right choice, so I’ll try to follow the Paulo Coelho’s words from his last newsletter: “the Universe is still working for us secretly, even if we cannot comprehend it” and I’ll wait and accept what is going to happen.
Maybe you don’t need to choose.
Maybe there are no right choices.
Maybe all the choices are right.
“What I do know is that meeting that man left me feeling more confident, and showed me I was still capable of loving and being loved, and it taught me something I’ll never forget: finding one important thing in your life doesn’t mean you have to give up all the other important things.”
Mother words in Brida.
Blessings
I’ve hoped for too long someone else to make the choice instead of me, or the situation to make it happen. But I’m the one who has to decide. This is an enormous duty.
There is no other way, because living in between hurts too many people.
I’m lucky for meeting one of them, because he showed me what love is.
I’m happy for meeting the other one, because he showed me what I’m afraid of.
You are not alone, Lu. We seemed to have same dilemma. But, I am almost giving up with this situation to keep on repeating and repeating in my life. It’s a very tiring experience to cry every I decide. wish I can live this life without having to decide anything… but just simply live…
marie-christine,
I don’t know what that means. Will you explain to me, please?
Marta Adriana,
Thank you for understanding. I can only speak for my self but I am sure hiding things will not help anyone. Acknowledgment is the key to change what ever it is. And after that a decision that leads forward. I am sorry to hear that you are desperate, that must be hard, and it is so often destructive. I have learned that even how desperate things get, some how I always come out on the other side, stronger, with new learnings about your self. Even if I came out with a stronger mind I am still me, and still quite the same but hugely different at the same time. I don’t know how to explain that. But I know my self better now, and I have left stress behind me in a way I did not think possible for me. I used to think that everything was so final, but it never is, we can always change things, ask for forgiveness, apologize or pick up the phone and say hello. Renegotiate with life.
Even if difficult things keep happening to all of us, I look at it from a distance now, and that is a good thing. Really we should ask our selves: What is the worst thing that could happen? And then let that answer sink in and deal with it. That calms me down. Knowing is better then not knowing. Making a decision gives me peace. Not knowing is like driving without a destination, makes you crazy. We need goals, directions and dreams.
I hope things turn out fine for you and that you soon can leave the desperate feelings behind you. To me, you do not seam like a week person, you did acknowledge that you are in pain, so the first step is taken and now you need to deal with it. I am sure you will do fine.
All the best to you.
Karin
Dear Karin
Thank you for your kind reply, I’m not desperate today.
Instead I read an inspiring book, slept more than I do and practiced The Seed Exercise, so I was born anew.
I used to be a happy person till I found my soulmate. I’ve been struggling hard to keep peace within a whirlwind, sometimes I manage to do that, sometimes I can’t.
My problem ,I know , is attachment to love . The thing is he asked for time for him to decide wether to continue with our relationship or not. I think I’d manage a “no” beter than this slow death .
Truth sets you free.
Yesterday was a hard day and your comment touched me deeply, it was so sweet and naive,you were so interested in knowing if you were to stay alone or to be with your other half. So I told you I’m with you because your quest is the same as mine.
I understand how you feel. And I’m with you.
Lots of love
Adriana
Dear Emma,
I am sure I have not met my soul mate, I would have known, I think, and that is what it is. What my concern is is that I feel lonely, I can’t find a man to connect with. I am not even sure I am actually looking for that. I just know I am tired of living alone. I almost always work and find lots of joy in that. Just want to share some things in life with someone, talk to someone and feel a close connection. Friends say I should go out more and meet people in bars, but this is not my style. I do not like night clubs, there is no way to talk to people there. Shout, this sounds sad, but I am not sad really. But it would be nice with a change soon. Maby it will come? Like you said, we just have to wait and see.
All the best!
Karin
Dear malin!
As you describe is friendship sometimes easy to develop and sometimes it takes long time to get a deep friendship ona higher level, for example when you let your love be your best friend and doing a lot of things together as partners and friends!
I met my soulmate not so long ago, we had good times together even if there where different people trying to separate us from each other or other things around us trying to change our opportunities for having a future together. Anyhow, when everything was clear for building a future together somehing new came to the arena, her fear. I Hadn´t seen it so clear before, Her history was that everyone partner earlier hade been doing bad things against her, and now everything she wanted to have have come true and it was to good, the relation, the love I gave her and fantasticsex where we climbed to the higher levels. She said a lot of times that I was her soulmate and I felt the same about her, and she had found the right man she said, but insted of talking about the fears and develop the relation together, she let the fear take over and she destroyed everything we had, took the easy way and went away. I can still feel the connection to her and her soul, sometimes I hear her soul calling in the silence. I still love her with all my heart aa I never done before so I hope she will put the fear away, letting the love be the way she walks and hopefully makig that call or sending an sms, I miss you so give me the sign of light so I can find home and if she still have fears we can handle them together hand in hand…
Dear Antonio!
It sounds that you and the woman you describe where really soulmates but she wasn´t sure about that so she tried to escape instead becuase of the fear insted of relaxing an be calm and trust you in the situation. Not everybody has the courage to stand up and take the fight for the real pure love, that could be because of their background och something traumatic but one day when they meet themeselve maybe theywill understand. Not everybody can see that they maybe have found their soulmate and already have him or her in their life, they believe many times that they will find him or her in another person. Malin describes it like there is lots of love around the corner, yes and no, I believe like you antonio that the real, deep, pure love and trust will develop and grow when you do it with your partner and open up your heart without fear. I hope your woman can hear your soul calling on her, she can set the light back from home and that she will answer in such way she can och have the courage to do so your love can grow again and you can be the soulmates for each other.

Dear Alex,
Thank you very much for your insight. It is always good to be reminded and given a fresh outlook on something that has been stirring so long. Too many times, I get caught up in that stir. Peace ;)
Peace also to you you. I hope you find clarity. Life can be an incredibly complex thing to understand and whilst we may never fully work things out, it is always good to analyse so we may learn for the future.

Well, I might give an update: It did not end well. Actually, it ended very sadly, however of all the struggle. So when it began a few months ago, it was very difficult, but we went along, it kept being difficult, and never became much better. But I thought, because of some true wonderful moments, that this might just be the struggle in the beginning, as some kind of universe’s test. I was wrong. So I wonder, when something comes with so much difficulties, whether that is a sign I should stop right in the beginning, or keep struggling. In my life, many things (work and so on) just came to me as easy as ‘kiss my hand’, and a while ago it occured to me that never in life universe would test us in any way, since it should already know whether we will pass or fail. Hmmm, what shall I do next time?
