The Warriors of Light Community

A song that fits my feelings today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eReKDlr_bCs

Quando Deus se encolerizou e quis destruir o “povo eleito” por adorarem o bezerro dourado, Moisés se interpôs e pediu clemência ao Criador, não pode entrar na Terra Prometida.
Os bezerros estão aí, sendo idolatrados e a Terra dos nossos sonhos está cada vez mais triste.
Beijos, amigo!!!

A reply to the recent Warrior of Light question “What is happiness?” I think I am most happy when I think “I love this!” And It can happen any time, at any moment. Just really loving what is. I feel most happy when I can be in that place. Several months ago I had a bag of garbage in my hand. As I dropped it into the garbage can I thought “I love this!” A complete acceptance and love of the moment – wonderful. To me that is happiness – to love the moment whatever it holds.

Dear Mr. Coelho

Thank you for writing The Alchemist and Veronika Decides to Die and other books, because of those books, I was able to find my Personal Legend. You are my inspiration. I love you so much. I hope I can see you later in my life. Best wishes and have a good life.

The blog is cool again! More time to think and relax while doing it.

Thank you…I loved it. Take care

I saw the until then unseen breeze,

I heard the imaginary birds,

I saw the stars, shine in day light,

I heard the waves in the distant ocean of sand.

What happened to my world? I kept asking,

A deflection or a new scheme-

Of my eyes to see things or is it a dream!

Is it a life or lifelessness, I kept wondering.

As I am taught that no one can see breeze,

As I am aware that no imaginary birds,

Or no stars embellish the world, in daytime.

No waves of sand will be heard, I wondered.

It was hard to keep my senses normal,

It equals naught if, try to be calm,

On these, all said, a causeless abnormality,

I too thought, until I wrote, I am in love and I love you.

Dear Paulo, Proverbs says that “As a face is to water, so is the heart of a person to another person.” I read your book The Alchemist over the weekend hoping to discover the voice of Yeshua and The Magdalene, and it’s there – the voice, the dialogue. I picked up The Pilgrimage and I hear the voice again. The love that is expressed as a consuming fire, could it be personified and immortalized through these two historical characters, and what would that dialogue look like……how could it be expressed in words that it might come to life through film?

Um mapa interno da Terra*

Um pouco mais sobre o tema Transição Planetária…
Segundo o Manual:
“A matéria só existe para aqueles níveis de consciência que precisam projetar fora de si, a Existência. Condição típica de uma consciência tridimensional”.
Ou ainda:
“Não há nada além de você, no interior do seu sonho”.
Aparentemente estas afirmações têm um cunho egocêntrico. Todavia, se eu não estou enganada, egocêntrico é aquele que olha apenas para si mesmo. E as afirmações não se referem ao olhar e, sim, ao Amor.
Isto me faz lembrar que se “matéria é um estado de consciência”, a própria consciência não é material. Mais ainda, a consciência não está depositada no meu cérebro, tampouco em meu coração. Meu corpo físico não é o núcleo de minha consciência.
Então, onde está minha consciência?
Se a 3ª Dimensão é um espaço para a consciência experimentar a Existência fora de si, minha consciência habita o que está aparentemente fora de mim. Naquilo que ilusoriamente considerei “mundo exterior”. Mais do que estar, minha consciência É o próprio “mundo exterior”. “Para um grande sonho, um grande telão”.
Bem, se o “mundo exterior” é apenas uma aparência… se o que “está fora” é minha consciência projetada em um grande telão tridimensional, então o exercício abaixo é oportuno para o episódio Transição Planetária:
O que é o meu Estados Unidos… que segue sozinho, desprezando as diferenças?
O que são minhas Coréias… separadas e inimigas?
O que é o meu Irã… ressentido, irado, belicoso?
O que é minha França… bela, racional e distante?
O que é minha pobre África… desprezada e faminta?
O que é o meu sábio Egito… esquecido?
O que é meu Tibet… amoroso e espiritual?
O que são minhas praias mornas e seguras… minhas montanhas… altivas e plenas… meus campos floridos… meus desertos?
O que são meu Ocidente e Oriente… divididos e ferozes?
O que é o mapa da Terra?
Quem sabe os Mestres, os Guias, os Seres Multidimensionais e, agora, nosso Corpo de Luz tivessem dito sempre:
“A resposta está no seu interior… olhe para fora!”
E assim, talvez estas energias sutis quisessem dizer:
“Não olhe para a Terra como se sua responsabilidade para com ela fosse resultado de um gesto benevolente, generoso em direção aos outros… olhe para a Terra porque ela é você… sua consciência projetando a Existência fora de si”.
“A resposta não está no jogo… Está no jogador que joga o jogo”.
Se assim for, o episódio Transição Planetária não é um evento externo. Ele é a minha própria transição. E eu preciso escolher se quero um rito de passagem harmônico e suave…
Para isso, preciso perguntar:
”Quantos tsunames, vulcões, terremotos, furacões preciso ainda manifestar?” Ou seria melhor acolher, iluminar e liberar… para expandir a consciência até que ela passe a experimentar a Existência em si mesma?
O mapa da Terra é o mapa de minha consciência… Por isso é que se eu aprender a me Amar estarei, na verdade, Amando a própria Terra ao integrar a Existência…
Ao experimentar a Existência em mim… “Amarás a ti mesmo porque assim estarás Amando o Todo”.
Se eu mudo a mim mesma, mudo o Mundo… porque Você e a Terra Somos Um.
(continua…)

ohhhhhh
Thank you Heart. Was nice.

cool,I didn’t know he was up there!Wishing him the best!

Missing Thelma. She is always such a solid, calming presence – full of love and light.

I agree with Karen. Silence is a blessing.

If I had the mean, I would publish your book.

Funny, Heart – how did you see that? If it’s the one I’m thinking of – the series of photos of the young girl with the light coming out of the crown of her head…. Must have been on my facebook. It wasn’t a collage, actually, they were just photos, and I didn’t alter them in any way. They just came out like that, quite by accident. I took the first pic, and it just came out like that, so I kept snapping more and more.

Thanks,
Savita

Thank you! Was wondering the same thing myself. Went to facebook and realized that, from there, I could make a particular pic publicly accessible, and then just post the link to it.

That is a huge compliment, Alexandra, though I’m not sure I’m quite worthy of the comparison. Christina is amazing!
Thanks!
Savita

Thank you dear Savita!!! I was missing you too!! I love you all and I expect from Paulo Coelho to continue being obsessed with his Blog too..
LOVE,

Thank you, Flora, for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Love,
Savita

Flora I know you didn’t write the poem..It fits so good at the moment to this topic (as you said..love and soulmates) it is the poetry of the heart, the undescribable but the basis of all things…love M.

Hola Rosa,

¿Qué puedo contar del viaje sin extenderme mucho? La ciudad de Viena es preciosa y lo he pasado muy bien con mis amigos. Hemos paseado por gran parte de la ciudad y visitado la gran mayoría de imprescindibles de la ciudad(el Prater, los jardines de los palacios, el palacio de verano de Sissí, el zoo…)y hemos callejeado mucho. El domingo por la tarde mis amigos se fueron en tren y me quedé unas horas en la ciudad a mi aire… y me di el gusto de perderme…
Además tuve la suerte de poder conocer a Svenja en persona y es una chica encantadora. Quedamos dos días un par de horas, así que seguro que nos veremos una tercera vez. Si en Viena, en barcelona o en otro sitio, ya se verá :-)
Un besote

Yes, dearest daughter Annie, many years ago, after a big illness I had decided to stop pretending, to stop playing a ‘role’ and to be true to myself! I am who I am and others should love me as I am or I … am not interested!! We cannot have everybody like us and love us!! So, since I am not a child [ "Μικρή" ] I am a Madwoman!!! ;-]
But since I feel LOVE and I am Love, my words are never ‘swords’ intentionally… Whenever I feel that I must be ‘harder’ it is that I want to restore ‘balance and harmony’ or ‘Law and Order’. Everything that comes to our ‘knowledge and subconscious’ has a .. result .. This is how we .. evolve.. And nothing happens without a reason… They are the lessons we have to learn..
I love you so much too..
LOVE, [ and Gratitude you are there]

Dear Annie,

I am so glad you found your dream. I am still searching for tbe road that will lead me to my dream. Best wishes to you in following your destiny
Love

Annie, congrats to you, to me too! You must know that I feel just as you do! and July 25th, is dedicated to St. James, Santiago!!! Congrats to all of us. And I celebrated Paulo Coelho too, just yesterday, it was the 23rd here, the 24th in Europe. What a great time for celebrations!! I didn’t even know St. James was celebrated on July 25th.

Wow, one year! what a Wonderful year! Paulo thank you so much for The Experimental Witch Project. I am still overjoyed! Thank you a million times! You are So So Wonderful! I love you!

Love you all!

Dear Carolena,

Yes, yesterday the Catholic Church celebrated St. James the Greater – the patron Saint of Pilgrims and Laborers…here is some info about the “Order of Saint James of Compostela”.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13353a.htm

Today the Catholic Church celebrates St. Ann – but the Greek Orthodox Church celebrates St. Ann on December 9th.

Χρόνια Πολλά Αnnie (δεν πειράζει) .. έτσι και αλλιώς κάθε μέρα είναι μια γιορτή…φιλάκια πολλά…

With loving kindness,

Satora

Thank you Annie, thank you for your kind words. I have told a true story that is worth, in my opinion, being told. XXX

Dearest Annie,

You always put things so beautifully. Thank you :)

I agree with you, Annie: Vive la différence! And thank you, too, for all your very kind and generous comments.

Love,

Ok, and more here is great religious event, related to Virgin Marry.

I once had a friend who had his wife take some pictures of his privates, close-ups in black & white, very good quality photos. Then he took these and placed them in one of those multiple-photo frames, also very elegant, and hung them next to the sink in the bathroom, for all visitors to openly see. The thing is that he wasn’t “excited” when the pics were taken, so they were, in essence, somewhat of a “humble” perspective of this otherwise virulent Italian man. I thought it was great. Every time I would go into that bathroom, I would burst into laughter. I thought “What a real man!” – one who isn’t ashamed to expose himself, even at his “weakest moment.”

:)

Annie,

Yes, he tops it all! We used to go to the same Sunday Mass in Oslo, me and this writer. Once he popped down in the seat right beside me. Have you ever tried to look serious when you just want to laugh out loud for an entire Mass!

Savita,

Your “humble” perspective is hilarious! I’m trying to figure why anybody would want a close up of one’s privates in the bathroom? (was it a psychologist…they are always a bit extreme). Well, they probably didn’t want their guests to be aroused and get it on while peeing? Certainly, it would probably stimulate conversations?

(Some atheist friends of mine had a picture of all the Norwegian Lutheran bishops in their bathroom, just as to say, I don’t give a shit about you! A bit sacrilegious.)

:)

Thanks heart and annie. it brought a smile to me too, although there was othing funny about what paulo said or u said, a delicate balance between let go and hold on seems to be the key ??

love
aditya

That link is really cool, thank you Annie.

Thank you for that link Annie! Although it was not just a hug, there was an entire story connected to the hug and other things which would not be too appropriate for me to share on the blog ;D

So the dream makes complete sense to me as a whole in it’s entirety.

Thank you though for the link. I also do have a dream book but mainly I like to interpret dreams how Jung recommends, to just let the dream reveal itself over time. My dream with Paulo did not take time at all to reveal because when I woke up it was already revealed.

It’s interesting because then I’ll have some dreams which I cannot figure out the meaning of and it takes sometimes even months before I get a revelation. And also, it has happened to me many times that out of nowhere, I’ll have flashed of dreams I’ve seen maybe as far back as 10 to 20 years ago. It’s a fascinating world.

Love and Kisses.

Aditya,

I’m an eclectic I suppose. Yes, I try to see what theology says and what psychology says, then try to draw my own conclusion. The two often are contradictory, then we cannot ‘mix’ them, but have to chose one answer over the other. My point was, we should be careful with dream interpretations, and just be open to several suggestions for what they can mean.

Love and Admiration,
Heart

Dear Aditya,
The comparison that you are suggesting is essentially the work already done by Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, and yes, it is not only possible but essential to mix theological, psychological and even sociological interpretation.

Jung worked on the individual level, in the field of psychology, and his conclusion was that although a dream may be unique to the individual, the dream content and therefore the interpretation of it must be informed by religion, culture, etc. Therefore it is not possible, or should I say accurate, to merely create comprehensive lists to interpret dreams (as Freud assumed), making statements such as: When one dreams X this means such and such.

I was born in the United States, where the concept “snake” holds an exclusively negative connotation, both in religion and the culture as a whole – the snake is the enemy, it is evil, it is Satan. So, if I dream of a snake, that may be something very different than if you dream of a snake, as, in India, the concept “snake” holds a potentially very positive connotation – the snakes which adorn and accompany Lord Shiva, the rising of the Kundalini energy, and so on. An individual’s dream content arises from out of a psyche that is, of course, shaped by religion and many other sociological aspects of their existence. So, to interpret a dream, it is necessary to account for this sociological diversity, including the diversity of religions and their mythologies. Still, buried within this exterior diversity there are common Archetypes which are identifiable.

This brings us to the work of Joseph Campbell, who spent his entire life cataloging and comparing the mythologies (which can also be thought of as the “collective dreams”) of various religions and cultures. What he discovered was very much in support of Jung’s theory of Archetypes, which is basically the idea that, even in this diversity, there are to be found certain essential energies or forces (Archetypes) which manifest themselves in various forms in different cultures and their myths. In one culture we may see the snake as Satan, representing the soul’s descent or potential downfall; in another culture we may see the snake as the Kundalini energy, representing the soul’s ascent or potential enlightenment. The exterior forms are the same – snake – but the Archetypal forces which they represent are precisely the opposite.

And this is why lists detailing fixed interpretations of dreams, though interesting, are not, in practice, very useful. They look at the exterior forms only and do not account for cultural or religious diversity, nor do they seek to uncover the essential Archetypes beneath those forms. In terms of dream interpretation, this is work that can only be done on an individual level, with the active participation of the individual in question. As Annie says, dreams are a message from the inner Self. (i.e., No matter how hard we try, we cannot interpret Carolena’s dream for her.)

At any rate, I wish you all the best with your projects, and with your book. I very much enjoy reading your comments here on the blog.

With Love,
Savita

Yes, Annie, I agree – a forum on dreams would be great. We don’t necessarily need to analyze them or try to interpret them, just share them! Dreams can be so profound and so powerful. Hearing the dreams of others is a bit like reading mythology – you don’t necessarily need to know what it meant to the dreamer in order to connect with the story on some deep level.

dear Annie,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

With Love
Marie-Christine

Dear Annie,
I know this may sound a little silly, but sometimes, when the elements of nature do things that see a reprehensible, I go out and talk to them, talk directly to them, as though these elements were people. A river is overflowing it’s banks, threatening to flood tracts of homes, and so I go to this river and I say, “Look here, you! This behavior is totally unacceptable, and you really must learn to behave yourself better.” I scold the river and point out the damage that it is doing. I say, “Listen! Don’t you hear those people crying over there, who’ve already lost their homes? Don’t be so greedy. And stop this nonsense right this instant!” Then I give the river some small gift, something of my own that I would not wish to lose in a flood, but which I am willing to part with as a token of my sincerity.

I can’t claim that this does any good, or that I get my way – I’m not a magician – but I can say that it makes me feel better having had my say.

We live in an area where tornadoes are common, and when tornado weather arises, sometimes I speak to the blue-black sky and I say, “Look here, you! Don’t you dare think of bringing a tornado down on this house. I have children here, and animals, to think about, and I’m having none of your nonsense today. Do you hear me up there? I’m speaking to you!” I realize that, in a sense, this is the opposite of prayer. I’m not pleading with the sky, not begging for mercy – I’m demanding. But somehow this approach of expressing my emotions in ernest, talking to the storm clouds as though they were just another person, no more powerful than I am – this makes me feel less helpless, less fearful, and that is really the thing that I need most in that hour – just not to be consumed by my own fear.

Much love to you, Annie, and to all who stand in the wake of these fires.

Sincerely,
Savita

The gift of a book, I think, is sometimes the most precious gift of all. I started doing this thing with Paulo’s books: When I finish one I start thinking – going down the list of people I know – who would this book touch the most? I used to keep all books that came my way, especially not letting go of the ones I liked the most, but Paulo’s books are somehow different. They seem almost too precious to hoard. My daughter loves Paulo’s books too, and she says, “Oh, Mamma, don’t get rid of them. Let’s collect them all!” But I say to her, “No, when we’re ready to read it again, we’ll find another copy. For now it’s someone else’s turn.” And so off the book goes into someone else’s hands, all beat up and underlined. And I am hoping too that they will highlight the parts that they find most inspiring. And so the person says, “When I finish it, do you want me to give it back?” and I say, “No, just pass it on to someone else, if you can.” I imagine these books flowing out like little rivers in all directions, touching and nourishing the lives of those into whose hands they pass.

It almost is a prayer, dear Annie, I really really hope the wind will listen, my thoughts are with you.

Love

very beautiful, something I would like to say to myself every morning so I will believe it

Dear Annie,
I could do that, but i have to realize the fact that the quest of my dreams might effect those i love negatively. That’s the painful dilemma. Sometimes, in order to keep the beloveds happy you have to wear the mask.

And thank you so much for the reply :) It truly means ALOT.

Sheela, reading your comment’s about ad nauseum, I was reminded of the theme in The Zahir about telling your stories to be free of them and close the circle, then it is easier to be you in the present. Tell your stories!

With love, Daniel

I’ve seen it done like this on the Animal Planet channel. Forming one animel to another one with just a few strokes on that sand (or what ever it is!). Amazing!

Thanks for that!

ooo…
magical work…
Thanks for the link here

i first saw sand art on a ‘tea’ advert on the tv…

and hey, it is like those bottles of sand one finds in the middle east… so lovely.

…. you have got me tube-blogging now ;o))LOL. xx

Annie, If you live like it was your last day, you will do EVERYTHING, right? No hesitations. No waiting. Just Do It! A lot of those things would kill us, i.e. travel to Geneva or South France and show up outside Paulo’s resident, and just grab him…I’m sure lovely Christina would show a not so lovely side, and perhaps just gun us down. Hehe. Love you,
Heart

Beautiful Cats. Thank you.

My dearest friends,

To catch the attention of God or fellow man…yes, a good topic!

‘The end of the world’ or ‘the end of my life’? Nobody knows when this will be. If anybody suggests a year, a date, they are most likely going to be wrong, as we have seen in the past with Nostradamus predictors and what have you. One of my husbands closest friend, had an insulin chock driving his truck 65 mpr last Monday, and was killed momentarily. It certainly again made us think about what if… (I really should go through diary notes that I want NOBODY to read and get rid of them!) Except from this, there is nothing I feel I have to do before I die. I should ask God forgiveness for my sins more often than I do. I should share what I have more with the poor than I do. Unfulfilled dreams? Empty all sadness from my heart with happy positive feelings. I always know. There is a time for sadness and a time for happiness. This is how life continue, and I do thank God for each day here below, and is trying to be positively optimistic about future there abowe some day, some time He/She will give us.

God bless you both!
Love and Admiration,
Heart

That was great thanks you ! Viva Corsica!

Yes, “Here”! and the best time is right NOW! :-)

I suspect the ocean has washed it away by now! ;-)

The message was for my beloved and my children Annie. At risk of causing further jealousy though, perhaps the message was for anyone who stopped to read?

Today on the beach I had the thought, I am a fool, but at least I’m a romantic one. :))

With love, Daniel

That is a beautiful moment, thank you for sharing it.

Dear Yoomi,

No, of course, it’s not foolish question!
Twitter is a free service that lets you keep in touch with different people. It’s the best way to share and discover what is happening right now. Twitter enables its users to send and read messages known as tweets.
For example, if you join Twitter and follow Paulo Coelho, you’ll be able to see and read his tweets. Moreover, you’ll be able to take part in his 5 questions “ping-pong”! :)

Yoomi, here is the link: http://twitter.com/
So, just try it! :)

Love,
Ilva

Dear Yoomi,

First of all, I must say I never ask questions to Paulo in Twitter. It’s a good chance but… I believe if he wants to tell us something, he will do that without asking.

Secondly, he has more than 115 000 followers (and now you are one of them!). So, it’s simply impossible to answer to all of our questions.

My advice to you: when you feel you can not reach Paulo in Twitter, “express yuor soul” in this blog – be one of the Warriors of Light!

Moreover, don’t move so fast! Believe in miracles! And NEVER GIVE UP!

Much love,
Ilva

Thank you so much for your thought … It feels good. Love to you too Annie, Jojo.

Annie,

I’ll post it tomorrow.
It means you still have time to think! :)

Hugs,
Ilva

Dearest Annie,

Gharib’s Chess is not about “digging”. It’s about the art of enjoying life and about… gliding on the chessboard.

Each begins “the game” with sixteen pieces of the specified color. These consist of one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights and eight pawns.

Gharib is not the Pawn. But he is not the King, too. Gharib is the “Horse” called “Knight” (in Chess). White Knight.

Annie, let’s try one time more: but, please, do not DIG! Simply… GLIDE!

„SOCRATES, ARISTOTLE, PLATO”

And, of course, don’t forget to enjoy your „gliding”! :)

Much Love,
Ilva

P.S. And THANK YOU for participating in this „chess tournament”!

Then let’s do it together!!!

Must be at least Twenty years after by now. We’ll make little baby steps changing the world each and every one of us. A change happened to me this morning on my walk and I met these two ladies walking their two big Huskies. I got scared and had my pepper spray ready in case they would attack my sweet little Jack Russel Terriers. The Huskies pulled the two owners toward us, who didn’t look like they had much control on their dogs. Well, one of the ladies said; ‘They are friendly’ and I asked ‘Oh, they just want to play?’ and they laughed and said yes. So, we had a morning chat, and I could admire the two beautiful Huskies with blue eyes, and start to concur my scare of them. They told me they got the dogs in Texas, and that the arctic dogs do pretty good in the desert :)

Love you lil sis and BFF and Ilva the greek cherry lady :)

PS If you do your yoga trip to India, you could sit philosophizing on what changes YOU want to make, and want us to make Annie?

Dear Heart, BFF and Annie, I am a … whole-life-flat -living -woman and afraid of … dogs, even those that you can carry in your bag!![Although they are beautiful to see them from a .. safe place!!]
I know .. Huskies; a very close friend of mine has two in a .. flat!! Beautiful blue eyes, but no … snow in Cyprus for them!
The … Lack Russel Terriers are those lovely dogs in the .. video??? Beautiful film, dear Heart and you are beautiful..
Ilva are you Greek??
Oh Heart, Annie is not going to India, at least in the near future.. She is coming to Cyprus!!!!
LOVE,
Thelma xxx

Nop! Ilva is not Greek. I guess it was typing error. :)
I’m from Latvia and I’m Latgalian.

I’ve to say, dear Thelma, it was a great honour for me to be at least for a short while Greek!

Love,
Ilva

Ilva, sorry I though you were Greek. I thought I had seen you write with Greek letters. Must mix you with somebody else. Or do you use the Greek alphabet in Latvia?

Oh, so beautiful qoute of Socrates! Thank you, dearest Thelma!

Annie! You see, HE IS BACK! SOCRATES IS BACK!!! He is playing Chess with us! :) Asote + Kalinka and Gharib + Socrates! Annie, that must be ‘reply’ from the Universe!

No, no, dear ZUZU (Heart), we do not use Greek Alphabet in Latvia. When I look at Greek Alphabet it’s an art I wish I could understand… Unfortunately, I can not :(

Love,
Ilva

Annieeeee! Yes! And again ‘yes’!
It was perfect bedtime story for me, too!

Do you know, dear Heart, what I dreamed this night about!? I asked to you (in my dream) what is your ‘real’ name. And you proudly answered: “I AM ZUZU.” :)
When I woke up, I goggled it!
ZUZU means “SWEET” but in some sources – “lily”.
Isn’t that, Heart…. sweet? :)

And what’s the most important:
“Violets dream to turn into roses. But roses dream to turn in lilys…”

Much love,
Ilva

Annie dearest,

Your rose and amaranth story has that great message of not envying anybody else. The violet and rose story was more about doing what other people say you cannot do, as in the quote of the week.

Which reminds me I used to show a cute overhead to students depicting ten penguins, where nine of them were standing on the ground and one was up in the air flying above them, and with a talk-bubble saying; ‘We told him it was impossible’ (penguins cannot fly, but one showed the world he could!)

Love you so much I could squeeze the stuffing out of you…as they say in the USA…(stuffed turkeys every holiday dinner) :)

Oh, thanks, dear Sister Liina!

Since Gharib is 81, is Shantay 81?
Oh, you made me laugh!!! Funny, indeed! Annie, it’s a brilliant question! The answer is: I DON’T KNOW. I must ask it to him! And I’ll do that!

About the Stone: I think we can not make a photo of our Dreams. But I can make a photo of the Stone. So, I want to say, I do not use the metaphor of the Stone. It is real – alive – as I am.

Annie, Annie…:) Shantay is Gharib. Annie is Kalinka. Ilva is
Asote. But do not try to google this name. You won’t find the answer.But as it’s not a secret, one day I’ll tell why I’m Asote!
At least now you know that Asote is not my “family name”. It’s ME in Chess. Hehe!

September 23… Thelmas birthday also? Oh… Thanks for telling that! :)

About the present to Gharib. Hmmm…. He likes…chickens…and me! :)

Love,
Ilva

Great reflections on the house Annie Kalinka :) The house is strange, but very charming. I noticed the little flowers, and everything is so well kept and inviting. I do not think they would reject you Paulo if you had rung the door bell.

Thank you for sharing your photo Paulo. I love those European lunch cafes, and days good enough one can sit outside.

Love and Admiration,
Heart

Dear Annie,

And WHO said my solution was the right one? :D :D :D
I simply enjoy the game of Chess!!!
Oh, Annie, indeed (!) it’s not Gharib’s house. BUT why do you pay so much attention to that WHO is living in this house? WHY??? Does it matter?
Sometimes less is more. But in Chess: just ONE single move matters a lot.
BTW, for ME more important is WHO made a photo of this house, not who is living in it.
Annie, your answer/solution will be the right one if you enjoy that what you are doing… And, of course, your ‘solution’ may differ from mine! 100%

Love,
Ilva

HEE HAA Annie! You little beauty!

Thank you Paulo, for sharing your …. daily heaven! You look so calm and content!!
Those …big glasses!!! My husband also buys them and enjoys drinking in them and I hate ….washing them!! Too fragile!!!
Have a nice Sunday.
LOVE,

I really like it !

You look like a philosopher or a poet in this photo..

We(or, Is it just me??)would love to see you smile fully,
with all your teeth shining, in your next photo..

Love,

1) Rainbows – a very good topic. But I prefer to talk about it next week.
2) About the coat of arms – Gharib’s advice was to replace some elements from it with another elements/signs. So, I’m going to do that later.
3) Yes, zebra represents chessboard.
4) The Bull represents 2009 year.
5) Donkey — Monkey —- ??? :D

“Asote is a Monkey.” – That is a task, Annie, for you! I have to add: the answer is very simple. Very simple. But (!) do not hurry to answer!

By the way, it’s raining in Latvia, too.

Annie, what’s about SYMBOLISM – the “poor” man “feeds” me different signs and symbols for almost 20 years. :D

The Desert, Annie, is O-Range.

Daer Annie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now YOU SEE how GHARIB moves!
And YOU, nasty girl :) said it wasn’t Gharib’s house! :D :D :D

Thanks, Satora! Thanks a lot!!!

Much love,
Ilva

AND: I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE HORSE.

In Chess?

I knew it. That’s why I’m playing/talking/kidding WITH YOU not with Margarita or Irene. :D

Thank you, Pandora!

Annie, the last what I want to say today: I KNOW NOTHING. Unfortunately, I can not cancel/delete my “moves”… But it was very nice to talk to you! Very exiting!
My “gift” to you: 8 bananas (representing 8 Monkey’s moves)! :)
Kisses for you,

…still dancing under a Banana-Tree! :D

“Zahir in Chess is “The Manifest”!”
^^ ^^ I don’t know, Annie. I do not understand it also.
Maybe it’s some kind of “the “Manifistation of God”?
I DO NOT KNOW.
Yes, and I must say that the English language is MY Hell. :)

“Manifestations of God are the only channel for humanity to know about God, and they act as perfect mirrors reflecting the attributes of God into the physical world.”

PROBABLY Zahir in Chess is “more than an obsession”.

1] Obsession is a negative passion.
2] Mirror, mirror, on the wall…
3] Passion is a positive obsession.

“Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.” /Hebbel/

PASSION IS BOUNDLESS ENTHUSIASM.

Welcome Arham!!!

Yes, dear Aditya, you are right…! :)

lol…

By the way, Annie, two days ago I asked you to “shoot” me.

In reply from you I received: “I shoot you with a devil’s egg”

May I ask you to explain me what it means – “a devil’s egg”?

Asote

P.S. Unfortunately (or thanks to God), In Latvian we do not have such an expression…

Thank you Annie.

And when I am naked, dear Annie, my Fantasy Train is moving…
I am “al-Gharib” and I am “Shantay”.

Ohhh…. and I imagined that someone wanted to kill a Chicken…
How can I be so foolish? :D

I said Hrm… as a sound for questioning the meaning of what Paulo said to Ilva. Is Hrm an Norwegian abbreviation? God, I don’t know if I think Norwegian or English anymore :)

I was just scratching my head wondering…but that is Ilva’s and Paulo’s business..I’m not curious…or am I?

“Patience” is a naked woman lying down with her legs apart under a banana tree.” /Confucius/

I guess, Annie, NOW (when I’m naked) I have to turn from Monkey into a Woman “Patience”.

Yours,

Alice appears in front of the White Rabbit…
And she /Alice/, not Rabbit, is crying: “oh dear! oh dear! I shall be too late!” The White Rabbit follows her down the “Alice’s hole” into… Wonderland.

Hi Catherine Martinez!! I hope everything is wonderful with your life..

Correction of my post. sorry for the bad translation:

should read “Pierre gibe to them (laughs at his joke)” and not “Pierre is”

sometimes I can listen to one melody over and over again. This is one of them, and then my thoughts just floats in the rhythm of the music.

By the way, I just read Paulo’s comment to Paul that Chris, his wife just laughs, when women are stalking him. In fact, something funny happened last time I visited my husband, Mike at work. One of his female co-workers passed him and said; ‘Hiiiiiii Mike’ and another female co-worker asked me how I like my husband to be a celebrity? So I told her, I like it because it keeps him young :)

Dream on young lady!
Heart

second that !

strange things happen in life. but what drives a person to stalk another, why not ask that lady to answer, what is her side of the story.

i can understand your pain dear paul, but why is she stalking you, have u asked her ?

all this talk about going after one’s dreams can send one down the wrong lane too. a simple rule as suggested by thelma helps us remain civiised ‘my rights end where another’s begins’ but for people who are ‘in love’ sanity is not always a companion.

love
aditya

Oh Swannie you have such a rich fantasy and find … solutions for everything..
You know.. ?! After that Steinway Treasure… I am going to be an even more modern Mamma!! I am going to buy an MP3 and listen while …. cleaning!! So there will be no … wasted time.. My daughter was telling me about mp3 but I was not seeing any use.. Now I know! [Everyday we ... 'know' something...!! ]

Hi Annie.

I’ll translate my text (small speech for a linguistic teacher actually) to english. I don’t trust those translating sites that much hehe.

Thanks,

écoutez la voix des personnes âgées est parfois un son délicat pour notre âme…

Listen to the voices of older persons is sometimes a its delicate for our soul…
a story for you ,told by jeffrey Davis:

1000 Marbles !

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it’s the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it’s the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable. A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the basement shack with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning, turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time.

Let me tell you about it.

I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden voice. You know the kind, he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business. He was telling whoever he was talking with something about “a thousand marbles”.

I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say. “Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you’re busy with your job. I’m sure they pay you well but it’s a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. Too bad you missed your daughter’s dance recital.”

He continued, “let me tell you something Tom, something that has helped me keep a good perspective on my own priorities.”

And that’s when he began to explain his theory of a “thousand marbles.”

“You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years.”

“Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900 which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime. Now stick with me Tom, I’m getting to the important part.”

“It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail”, he went on, “and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays. I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy.”

“So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round-up 1000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside of a large, clear plastic container right here in the shack next to my gear.”

“Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away.”

“I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight.”

“Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure if I make it until next Saturday then I have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use is a little more time.”

“It was nice to meet you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your family, and I hope to meet you again here on the band. 73 Old Man, this is K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good morning!”

You could have heard a pin drop on the band when this fellow signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about.

I had planned to work on the antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams to work on the next club newsletter.

Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. “C’mon honey, I’m taking you and the kids to breakfast.”

“What brought this on?” she asked with a smile.

“Oh, nothing special, it’s just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. Hey, can we stop at a toy store while we’re out? I need to buy some marbles.”

(Jeffrey Davis )

that’s beautiful
thanks Annie ;o)

I was reading somewhere, Esoteric Astrology I think, that the Scales is the Sign to find our way up-wards and break the .. circle! The SPIRAL. I think Paulo Coelho has to teach us some from his Wisdom in this respect.
I wish Swannie that I will find the courage to … use my wings and fly; My piano, not the Broomstick!!! ;-]
LOVE,
Thelma xxx

Annieee baby sis!!!! You look gorgeous, and singing for us. Are you for real??? Your eyes look very beautiful!!!

Thank you, great first shot, just GREAT :))

Thank you, Annie, for being so brave! You really look lovely.

My beautiful Swannie, you are even sweeter and brighter on the camera. Now I understand why I do not like photos; they miss the movement and sound. You are a living poem. Keep singing your song. LOVE you and sending my best wishes for your dreams to come true.[You know how wishes stay in our Aura..]
LOVE,
Mamma, Thelma xxx

Hi Annieeee!!! So Sweet! And beautiful voice too!

Great to see you sis!! :D

Kisses!

Annie: how could I not sing if You asked so nicely?! Besides – we are all one, so we have to keep the links together.

:) Nice proposition!
PS! You look nothing like Your picture. But both are beautiful anyways.

Love,
Liina

Annie, you and suphi are taking this blog to the next level. The sound for the first video was very low, but I had my headphone on so I heard what you said. Have a good night too!

I do not like being infront of cameras or videos, so the idea is not for me. It is nice to see them.

You look great Annie! Thank you for the song.
Your sister on roof.

Hi Annie, and I love your thoughts! Yes, the opposite, I meant if they truly believed they will die. I recently studied a course called “I may die today”, and it is amazing when you sit and contemplate it how many thoughts you have around the fact that you won’t die. For instance, “of course I won’t die today, I bought a weekly bus ticket, and I’m going out to lunch with my friends tomorrow”. But when you get rid of this, accept that you may die, you live in the moment, not wasting any time with thoughts about plans you have made for tomorrow, which may or may not happen, and you don’t put off doing things.

I’m not so sure about transformation. Where does the wood exist once it is burned? In the past? And where does the past exist? Or the future? I think it only exists in your mind as thoughts.

I see your point about everything changing, never ending, sort of like re-birth? When I think of it though I arrive at a point where nothing ever ends, but everything does. :-D

With love, Daniel

Dear Annie,
i am so impressed from your knowledge in alchemy so young yet so wise!
I think we have a lot to learn from you!

How old are you Annie?

* Deylun *

Siento por no haberme presentado antes, puede parecer de muy mal gusto; mi nombre es estefania, nacida en españa especificamente en el mediterraneo :)

Perdona por si te ha molestado el haberte preguntado tu edad, pero en el video me has parecido una chiquita de 19 años, pero aun así eres una persona con los pies en la tierra.
Sobre tu canción, sinceramente admiro el valor que has tenido de haber colgado este video; yo también canto pero tengo miedo a lo que los demas digan, suena absurdo porque un guerrero de la luz tiene que darle igual pero proviene de una historia larga ; desde bien pequeñita, mi madre me oyo cantar, su contestación fue lo que lo hacia fatal, desde entonces, cada dia me persigue ese momento, no me lo puedo quitar de la cabeza y eso repercute a que me desaliente cantar. Que opinas sobre eso, annie?

*Deylun*

Thanks, Heart, and Annie! We did have a wonderful celebration. In fact, the guests are STILL here. (Everyone else is still sleeping). I love celebrations that go on for several days, in the traditions of the old ways – like when guests had to travel so far to get to a party that they often stayed over several days, until all the food and drink ran out.

And when are WE going to get to see you playing the piano, Annie? I can’t wait!

Much Love,
Savita

You all sooo brave. Thats a wonderful moment!Thank you all!
Alexandra with LOve

Ok annie! lo siento por no presentarme, puede aparentar de muy mal gusto; mi nombre es estefanía y nacida en españa :)

Perdona por preguntarte tu edad pero en el video me parecio ver a una chiquita de 19 años…
La canción que cantaste, me gusto mucho y admiro el valor que tienes para mostrarlo; yo también canto y adoro el piano, es uno de los instrumentos que tengo debilidad por el cada vez que oigo una sola nota, pero tengo miedo del que diran los demás, desde bien pequeña, una vez mi madre me oyó cantar y su respuesta fue que lo hacia mal, desde entonces siempre recuerdo ese momento cada vez que canto y eso me desalienta a seguir cantando. A eso que me puedes decir annie?

*Deylun*

Oh Savita & Annie,

This is soooo adorable. Your daughter is an angel herself, and yes so is Annie, and YOU TOO Savita!

Kisses,
Heart

Thanks Annie! We are all movie stars now are we not? ;-) If only we could get two into one video at once, you and Liina could sing a duet for us!

After this week’s forum and quote, and these videos I am imagining a gathering of WOLs where everything is laughter, singing and music, and a thousand conversations at once where everyone feels free to contribute, and no subject is forbidden.

With love, Daniel

:D

Daniel,
I’ve thought of that one myself – a gathering like You described here, with the WOL’s.

Ps! Annie, funny dream, You had. Have You considered that it could be both, the first and the alternative meaning?

Love,
Liina

Gracias por tu consejo annie! perdona porque te pregunte tanto pero de que zona del reino unido eres? supongo que eres britanica, me has dado esa sensación…

I’m still not so sure Annie! Do the ashes remember being wood? Do they think “I wish I could be wood again, and the flames hurt so much”? And does the smoke whisper about it’s past life as a tree as it floats into the atmosphere?

Memory is a thought. Yes it does help define who we become, but I don’t believe my thoughts are what I am, not in my heart.

“He will have to forget for ever his history of pain and suffering, and accept that he is a new person who has just been reborn and that, from now on, he will be reborn every day”.
-The Zahir

Every day new. Newborn!

With love, Daniel

Besos para ti también

Feeling a bit the same way myself, Annie. Just last night I was trying to watch several of the videos and feeling sharply discontented with this little bundle of technology with which I was perfectly satisfied only a week ago – going through a list in my head of the renovations that “must” be done to my computer system “immediately”: a web cam (otherwise, I have to make videos on my camera, download them to my computer, then upload them to the blog), a faster internet connection (which is not available where I live, but, without which, it takes ten minutes to watch a one minute clip), and a headset or speakers, so that I can actually hear people talking without quieting everyone in the house and pressing my ear to the laptop’s speaker. Funny how we humans can become so discontented so quickly, perfectly fed up with the very things which gave us pleasure only the day before.

Wishing you the very best with your computer. Just don’t kill the thing – otherwise, we won’t have your bright light shining here, to admire. Better a slow connection than none at all.

With Love,
Savita

Yes, I think that subject ” to speak and to listen ” is interesting. For me, it’s necessary to exchange in listening and in word.
In listening because we do not hear out of necessity the same thing.
In word because we do not put out of necessity the same thing behind words.
It seems to me that to share our truths, it’s to make effort to be comprehensible in the others.
Annie, we are all, timid or afraid for certain things. Sometimes, fact to speak about it allows to free itself and to realize that they made ” a mountain ” of a small clod of earth! o)

As said Satora, not verbal communication has is importance. For ourselves. Can we like to share it ? ;-)

Light & Love,

Aqgree, just a little summary, if people want to. Hey Annie I didn’t know you are an Computer expert, even though you don’t like to admit it :) Actually, your direction on how to go to Control panel and adjust the sound helped me to turn up the sound to max here. Still its too quite voices. I noticed you sit closer to the computer on one of the shots. I’ll try that next time. And then we can always TALK LOUD :D (had to try this tongue constantly out on you ;))

Hehe Take over the world!!! At least feel On top of the world once in awhile :)

(Had any sex on the roof yet :)))

Love you mikroteri athelfi,

I’m in Latvia, Annie.
In Netherlends I’m going to stay just for 2-3 days. My “Inner Coach” Gharib says it’s enough for “work”. :D

OK, Annie, I’ll take an ORANGE picture!!! :D
I am curious also what it will be…
Are we two curious CATS…!? :)

Ilva

Querida annie!

No es molestia preguntar mi edad, tengo 24 años. Sé que aun soy una chiquita y tengo vida por delante por recorrer, pero a veces la vida se complica y debes observar los caminos que te puedan conducir para alcanzar tu sueño.
Lo que me molesta es que la gente de tu alrededor te pregunta a que te dedicas y tu al responder que no has llegado a ninguna universidad para hacer una carrera, parece que te miren como un bicho raro, y eso me molesta mucho. Pero he llegado a una conclusión y que a partir de ahora voy a hacer lo que mas me gusta: escribir.

*Deylun*

Dear Annie, thank you. So are a sweet person, kind one. You make me smile when I read “you are brave”, and that you want me to remind it. Yes, I know. All is all right, just a passage to go through, another one … And yes I took time for your hug … and since I saw you on a video, well, I can visualize it more and feel it more and feel confident in it. :-) Love and Gratitude for you too, Annie. Jojo.

Yes, Annie, I was thinking much of you and your passion for horses yesterday – remembering the link that you shared with us a week or so ago. Several of the horses there, including the 35-year-old tag along, who went without a rider, were horses that had been rescued from abuse or from purchase by the meat-packing houses (the places where they make them into dog food).

Yes, our dreams (our joys) – we abuse those too, neglect them… and, unfortunately, sell them out or abandon them in the profane ways. We seldom give them the free rein they need to lead us where we need to be.

Love,
Savita

Bonjour Catherine!Oui c’est absolument tragique!En arriver là,il faut vraiment etre mal en point!Esperons que le massacre s’arretera!Bonne journée

You too are so lovely, and was you to give the start. Thank you for all your support and kind words . You are a very sweet person, God bless you, dear.

Great song, and was live!!! Thanks.
Love
Alexandra

glad you enjoyed Alexandra…
It’s a song that can make me smile no matter what!!!

Thank you Cathrine.

Yes Catherine , these meetings are so beautiful …

today , i pray for me (I prayed for others, but I realize that it is necessary that i also pray for me )

I must pray for me , and pray for me also , so that I grow in humility: That God keeps me not rejoice individually , and not feel “too important” of having received both of grace of its part , of Mary and the angels.
Amen

Catherine , that the celestial beings keeps us always on the path of the love of God we preserves and we guide. On this feast of the guardian angels : i bless God I have the honor to know His kindness through the angels and my guardian angel…[...]

Love
Sido

“That our path of Life is always a path of love , where that we are”

Dearest Heart, you are right!! Here we are ‘spoiling’ each other!! But this is an aspect of love, I think. To be ‘open’ to what other’s say or do and give our .. applause! Just by .. encouraging and adore someone half of the … next step is done!
Beautiful painting with orange turning to .. golden, thank you.

Big sis ;-D

Hay Algo muy Grande ahí. Creo que existe algo muy Grande. Pero es muy difícil dominarse realmente. Pero creo si lo consigues tu vida se convierte en algo asombroso. No puedo explicarlo mejor. Hay Algo más. Algo que no vemos. Creo que sí actúas de acuerdo a tus principios te acercas Ahí. No es fácil. No lo es para nada. Es muy complejo, profundo y dudoso.

Una cosa última, puse una palabra inadecuada, la he buscado en el diccionario.

No es intimidar. Pensaba que intimidar venía de timidez. Pero no, es de miedo.

Cuándo haces esto la gente no se queda intimidada, se queda en estado de shock, es como que reacciona, luego te ven de otra forma, porque has ido con tu verdad por delante. Quedan muy extrañados. Luego nada vuelve a ser como antes, pero merece la pena. Es como decirles, pienso esto, soy así, ¿de acuerdo? Lo respetan. Es mejor no esperar a morirte para decir lo que piensas y ser quién eres, pero hay que tener mucho valor. El valor está ahí, en todos. Si alguien quiere cambiar su vida que haga eso. Es un paso inmenso y alucinante. Eso sí, hay que hacerlo de verdad, a lo grande. No valen las medias tintas.

Bien, ya aclaré lo de la palabra.

My Personal Legend is the Legend of the World. That is why my TASK is to tell about it. I had to keep silence for 3 years. But now I think it’s TIME to tell about it. Step by step. Walking on the swords…
Well, as you can see pic is not more available on Twitter. BUT it was there for 11 hours. I’ll try to post it later again. Anyway, now when you are on Twitter you can follow Paulo! :D

I will. With the help of Paulo’s mystical “coruja” and my Gharib.

From Monday till Monday:

When I looked at the photo of an “owl” (coruja) I said to me: “I do not care who created this sculpture. I do not care what he who created it, wanted to tell to us. I do not care what this mystical creature meant for him/her. But I do care what God wants to say to me if He puts it on my Way.”

So, I decided to “re-creat” the mystical creature and to understand His Message.

***

- “Bugul Noz, Bugul Nozssss… What are you holding in your hands?” I asked.
- “My target,” he answered.
- “Why are you standing on the stone?” I continued.
- “I’m standing on my promises,” he replied.

To “hold the target” means “to have no sin” (“hamartia” in the Bible; “sin” = “to miss the target” – in archery). “Bugul Noz” = “Night Shepherd” (Monday – the day of Moon; the day of night).

Traditionally we can meet “Bugul Noz” in Breton mythology (as a “part” of French mythology). But I’m not talking about “traditional” mythology… Not at all.

How is that possible to talk to the sculpture? When looking at it you feel gentle and humble of heart, nothing is impossible.

Well, I gave my white silk gloves to my Bugul Noz and seems he liked my gift very much.

When I asked about his eyes, he answered: “Greet” my legs, not my eyes… Under his “coat: he has smooth soft (peach) skin like a Baby’s…

***

If my signs were yours… But it’s not so. That is why I asked my “Teacher” for some help.

“Look in the mirror!” he said. “If the mirror is clean enough you will see the Truth.”

Yes, there are times when the simpliest mirror can turn into a crystal ball. When it happens, the man can see the most marvelous things looking in it.

I got paralysed for a while when looked in it. Instead of my face I looked at the man who posted the photo of my “Bugul Noz”, but behind him was standing… Jorge Luis Borges in his late fifties… He, Borges, was holding “The Book of Imaginary Beings”…

Yes! A BAO A QU! – the creature with no eyes, blind (like Borges).

“If one wishes to gaze upon the most marvelous landscape in the world, one must go to the topmost story of the Tower of Victory (…) On the staircase of the Tower, there has lived from the beginning of time the A Bao A Qu (…) When a person climbs the stairs, the A Bao A Qu follows almost on the person’s heels, climbing up after him, clinging to the edge of the curved treads worn down by the feet of generations of pilgrims (…)”

The A Bao A Qu can see with its entire body. He reaches perfection when the climber reaches the top. What means that climber’s acts didn’t cast any shadows…

Yes, he’s not bad this Borges! He turned my “BUGUL NOZ” into someone’s “A BAO A QU”.

***

I love to say that one who knows Victory, knows Happiness. I truly believe in it.

Down through all centuries, the A Bao A Qu has reached perfection only once. But I believe, when a Man follows the Star (like three Magi followed the star of Bethlehem), he may reach the top of the Tower of Victory and help his A Bao A Qu to reach his perfection again – for the second time.

With Love,
Ilva

Bugul Noz, Bugul Nozssss…

When he tried to talk about “Halloween… Baby”, I couldn’t understand his message. Just after some time I realised what it was:

“Hello [he greeted me], wean… the baby.”

So, I’ve decided to “wean” my “baby”, the Chintamani Stone, in All Saints’ Day. But, of course, before that I’ve to visit Pastoral State – Night Shepherd’s Arcadia…

He said: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Since Mouse is Rat and every Rat is Mouse, MY knock on His door: RAT-a-tat-tat! :)

Its the signal from your body that you must go to cure your wrist! There are such things, I was in pain with my back, though I am young, and think the signal was leg pain. Weird. I followed bit medication and physiotherapy, than for long period I was just fine.
Wish you all the best
Love
Alexandra

Dear Catherine,

I did suffer as well from my wrist when I used to work in pubs,with that coffee machine!And the pain came back after I gave birth.My dad got the same too,he’s doing an heavy job.This is a bad pain I know.You should go to check up,hey wait..thing I’ve never done myself,lol.I used to love making cappuccino’s though,lol.That being said,seriously,I wish you well.

As for a Band or a … Gang, we will just do it for pleasure and Charity, like the Mango’s t-shirts… And as for the lyrics of the songs of course, Paulo Coelho is the Master in that too!

One more thing that he has to do is ….’ me to … a 17 years old girl and …. continue from there where..

I am sure dearest Paulo, your answer is going to be: YES and NO!!!! I am the Pythia now!! I know the … future!!!.
Have a nice evening.
Much LOVE,

It was there, not me singing… Laura Pausini. Check above me talking is the link. Thanks.
Love

Thanks Annie. Hope you have a great weekend!!

I really do not fear anything…
GOD is LOVE and He is in us and we are in HIM. We are One and protected.
What makes me feel scared sometimes is the EVIL that resides in other people’s hearts: envy, cruelty, hate, ignorance..
Ignorance that we are all .. ONE and whatever they do it will return to them stronger …. seven times!
The Law of cause and result.
‘ .. καί άφες ημίν τα οφειλήματα ημών, ώς και ημείς αφίεμεν τοίς οφειλέταις ημών. …’ = and forgive our bebts as we have forgiven those who have [ sinned] against us..
LOVE,

hey Annie – please explain! what was happening in the news? i couldn’t quite understand ;o)

Tell her Safe Trip sis :))

oh Thelma dont tease, I miss the sun already!

Yep, Annie, Mozilla Firefox much better than internet explorer, indeed.

It’s funny, as the video started I thought “It sounds like THE POLICE!

Nice rythym,

By the way, there is a lemon tree in my backyard and I just love lemonade!

Have some lemonade, all of you?!

It’s on its way!

thanks Annie…
what a lovely statement…

I have just read on Paulo’s facebook a similar quote… about spreading your wings now… because it IS later than you think.

With a job interview coming up and feeling very unprepared for such a role… my thoughts were – what if i don’t want to fly!
but i just read your words.. that even with a clap of their wings… change is possible to do.

smiles again ;o))

Yes, yesterday was a significant day to me.
“If any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.” (1 Cor. 3:18)
Well, that’s all what I can say about my ‘yesterday’.

Sis dear,

The only explanation I can find why it is common to celebrate saint Margaret Mary Alacoque on the 16th when her feast day is October 17th, is…a “bigger” saint than her, Saint Ignatius of Antioch is celebrated on the 17th too, and when there are two saints on one feast day they often celebrate the “less important” one the day before :)) so I am used to celebrate it on the 16th..but yr correct, the official day for her death and the feast day is the 17th.

Hola ,Annie,me causa gran asombro las coincidencias..a mi tambien me encantaban la casa del arbol,Cuando era niña,jugaba en los arboles,nunca llegue a tener una casita de verdad,pero en mi imaginacion siii.Justamente,hace dias me acordaba de esos momentos…
Feliz domingo¡¡¿

Gracias,chicas,Annie,Marie Christine,es muy lindo que hablemos el mismo idioma..No importa donde estemos,en que parte del mundo,sin casi conocerenos,pero nuestras almas vibran igual..Puedo sentir la calides de sus almas y eso me hace mucho bien..Gracias,espero que sigamos comunicandonos y conociendonos un poquito mas…
Este domingo aca,en Argentina celebramos el dia de LAS MADRES,yo soy una feliz mama de tres hijos,y apesar de ser joven(cuarenta años)soy una feliz abuela de una bebe de un año y medio,justamente ella,me ha hecho volver a ver las cosas atravez de los ojos del niño que llevamos dentro,compartir juegos,y tenemos en el jardin una planta de jazmin,donde inventamos que es nuestro bosque de jazmines..
Creo que las almas afines se buscan,eso senti desde que lei el primer libro de Paulo,,creo que a travez de este blog lo estamos consiguiendo..
Un gran abrazo,para ustedes..Clarisa

Ok, let’s simplify it: 777 and XX

I really love you too Annie! and you are always clapping your loving wings so beautiful!!!

Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.

If one member is afflicted with pain,
Other members uneasy will remain/ Saadi

Thelma dear, I feel you. I pick up the warrior of light that I have beside my Hafez poetry book on my bed table…every night before sleep I read a poetry of Hafez and a warrior of light page, it make me remember. I think when we are down we forget and must be remembered that life is much easier than we think. Nothing really matters. Just be what you are and let other enjoy your being.
Love and love

Thank you for your sweet and motivating thoughts Annie.
You all helped me a lot!
hugs & kisses.

Yes Catherine…. GOOD LUCK, or FORTUNA! for today.

Hope you have a wonderful time today.

Lots of love

Dear Ms Goldsmith, you must be going crazy after taking part in my crazy tea parties! Ok, I have to re-place some ingredients: less craziness, more LOVE for you tea! :)
So, YOU are ‘nasty’ in positive light!!!
Or maybe you are simply joking? Shooting me with your “deviled eggs”???
:)

Catherine dear…does it mean you got the job? thank you for the link, but Annie already shared with me. giggles.

Love,
Heart

Yes, the Magus looked Very Handsome!!
:)

Thanks Annie!
It happens quite rare when someone says to me “sweet Ilva” :)))
Love and JoY,
Asote

I think I’m fallin’
…
with…
the rain…

Simply the best:

Thank you.

Nice treasures in the site!

Good looking Crystal girls!

Bike!

E.T.!

Flying…!

Cui Cui tuituite r because I am 3! (I didn’t understand that)

Thank you wonderful sis…we can laugh about our black truths and pull tongues when we fly with our butterfly wings…out of reach from hurtful words and actions, na, na, na, na, na, na :)

8><3 will be our secret sign silly sis! I’m not following what you are talking about, but it sounds LOVELY, and anything with butterflies, you can count me in :)

Heart
your big sis

oh Annie,
the song says I need you,
I wish I could kiss you right now.
With all respect, please don’t get me wrong.
I mean I love anytime you answer me, I don’t know what’s happening, I like you so much

I wish I could reach you somehow.
I’ll show up in your dreams.. don’t be scared, ok!
It’s up to you

Thank you, Swannie. Yes I believe that we have to perform all the parts of a piece of music. It is like a book.. You cannot chose the parts that you like .. and leave the rest.. Every phrase and every note has a reason to be there.
LOVE,
Mamma Thelma xxx

Aca ,en america del sur la gripe A,estubo muy preocupados a todos,murio mucha gente,pero tambien fue mucho sensacionalismo..lo que les puedo recomendar,es mucho cuidado,lavarse la ¿s manos antes de comer cuando vuelven de la calle,usar alchol en gel,o alcohol con agua para las manos,aca ya paso el pico pero sigue en algunos lados…no desesperar,y solo cuidarse..Besos
Y tomar todo lo que sea natural,frutas,miel…y ventilar todos los ambientes..

And then, Swannie, I will sing.. ‘Heaven I am in Heaven ..’ and .. fly me to the … Moon!!!
I think we can make a … film using .. songs that we like. Something like the Mamma Mia, that were the .. songs first and then they made the .. story! Our title will be :
Mamma THELMA!!!!!!! I am full of good ideas!
LOVE,
Thelma xxx

Annie dear,

You don’t want to get me started on the educational system..cuz I will make you fall asleep! Just to comment on your points… My ideal ‘Learning centers’ offer an Individualized Curriculum based on each persons interests, in your case music,
balanced with a
General Curriculum with content ALL students should learn, Trivium and Quadrivium, the great book program.

50/50, with great opportunities to go into depth of projects, as one does writing a Master’s degree thesis, perhaps a year at a time, with no other courses.

About punishment…available research shows IT DOESN’T WORK. So I am against it.

Que lindo ,que este en Brasil,cerca muy cerca de Argentina,..De Entre Rios que la provincia que naci,aunque no vivo ahi.Brasil es hermoso,calido,el mar es tibio,amo brasil,la gente es muy buena..somos hermanos de frontera,Rio De Janeiro es un paraiso…
Besos,un abrazo Annie..Vamos a pasear a Brasil y de paso te muestro mi pais..Queres???Y lo visitamos a Paulo..

As a Virgo, Paulo’s sign, I believe that he might like more wearing casual and sportive. But a Virgo likes even elegance. I believe that a modern black suit would look very good on him and he might like it too.
Anyway I usually don’t dare to take a lot as basis horoscope’s signs for to determinate peoples characters, that would be like generalizing to much.

Gracias a vos,Annie,siempre gracias,en este mundo y en todos los mundos..
Mi corazon esta abierto a la luz..
besos

I can feel it, too, just by reading you
thanks
I’m amazed

Sis dear,

See, there you are again with your Alchemy. My little magician. Mikroteri alchemia! As Paulo says about ups and downs. ‘It will pass’.

Hugs & kisses,
Heart

Hey Annie, you reminded me some good moments with my sister..:) when we have no morale, we are called and we tell stories which make us laugh. If we’re together physically, we lock ourselves into the bathroom and we make a competition of the most horrible grimaces… guaranteed giggle:)) You’re right, laughter is a means so that the soul feels so light as a feather!

Light & Love,

Yes Annie, so great to let everything be and be silly :)

I think of a Rumi saying: “Let the lover be disgraceful, crazy, absent-minded. Someone sober will worry about events going badly. Let the lover be.”

I use to laugh, I learned this from Witch of Portobello, laugh at my problems :)

With Love

That hug and kiss came into my room like a sweet breeze, dearest Annie, and scattered away the dark thoughts..

Yes Paul, a quick look into the PCB with a …. piece of chocolate, performs miracles!!
I do not like … tea, so I cannot .. join you for that. What about a capuccino or an Amaretto or a … Downer and some music?
LOVE,
Thelma xxx

Yes, dear Annie, SHE IS beautiful.
We call this icon “She who turns sadness into joy”
Love,
Ilva

Dear Annie,
Yesterday I went to bed and thought about that song you told me in Twitter ["Asote - Honey Mouse"]. I’m so very intrigued about lyrics of the song!
:)
Love and JoY,
Ilva

Sorry to hear about your fall Annie … and I know you will get up! With affection, Jojo. And buy the way, I won’t be able to read or write the next week since I am going to rest in the South, and when I say rest I mean rest … so, no computer for me, just nature, sun, walks, dinners with friends, prayers, meditations. :-)

Annie I wish you to get better as soon as possible. Those kind of “accidents” maybe even dangerous but still annoying.
We have some kind of ritual we make in such cases.
When it happens such kind of “stupid accidents”, but dangerous, we use to break something in purpose(mostly smth made of glass). This way we think that we can avoid the law of the 3rds.
Sometimes it happens that we break something unwilling to do it, but we think that it is a god sign, that the law of 3rds has been broken.
I still am not that convinced about how it really works, especially in the first case, I believe that things who has to happen just happen, and that is it, even though I’ve tried this kind of technique, and I think that maybe it works.
I told u this because I don’t want this to happen to you again.
Wish you a fast healing, and BE HAPPY :)))))))))
Don’t worry about the comments, they can wait. ;)

Love
Olta

Dear Annie

I am so sorry to hear that you have had a nasty fall, I hope you recover quickly, and most importantly your hands return to play their wonderful music.

Rest lots, and try to enjoy the rest.

With lots of love

Sorry to read it :-( I hope that you’ll better soon :-)

Dear Annie,

I am sorry to read that you and your butterfly got hurt.

I also fall every now and then, mostly but not always when I am not paying attention to the here and now and it serves me as a reminder to live more in the present. Still, this does not help against the pain and often it makes me angry anyhow.

You know, sometimes something like this hurts and helps. It forces you to take on a new perspective because you cannot do what you usually do. You have to find or invent something new. I wish you a miracle that transforms your painful experience into the discovery of something new and beautiful.

Take good care of yourself and be extra kind to yourself! This makes it easier for the miracle to find you.

I send you a big hug,
Petra

I wish You fast healing. Enjoy resting, if You can, You’re ‘given’ that after this accident happened. The law has been broken and You can go on now.

Last spring I fell with my bike, although I have never had an accident with my bike before. I fell on the asphalt, the cog-wheel that holds the chain of the bike forced its way into my leg muscle – it was rather horrid, but gladly I didn’t feel a thing. Gladly I was about 500 meters away from home and I was able to gather my strenght and drive back home. But later I needed stitching in the emergency room. Now I only have visible row of scars left. Not very “sexy” on a woman, but what can You do. :) Hehe…

Glad that You’re ok.
Be well, Annie.

Get well sis. That damn clumsiness! hehe.

Swannie, after these two comments and well-wishes by … sis Heart and the ‘BLUE BUTTERFLY man’, Den Rod, I am sure that by now you are O.K.!! Remember TIME and NOW is just a state of mind. You are already healed and look inside … you may be ..putting in front of you those.. Cyclops!!
LOVE,
Mamma Thelma xxx

I love this song, all about it… thanks. Get well, dear Annie. Hugs!

Anita,cantaremos al alba nuestra cancion..Amaia montero..y tambien Mariposa..para vos..siempre..en todos los mundos..
Amo esta cancion..me encanta..gracias por compartirla
Te quiero…muchooo

p.s. Sorry I had replied and not have read all these loving comments down the page from the whole … family of the Warriors of Light!!! So the comments are not just … two!!!! Hugs, T. xxx

Annie dearest,

Was thinking about where clumsiness comes from. Want to hear my theory? I believe…the more critic our close relations surround us with, the clumsier we become, that it is a nervous reaction. Haven’t verified my thesis. And then there are always accidents and ‘Shit happens’ :)

Love you,
Heart

Annie, You did fell. And You felt the love after it happening. The love from all who sent You messages and good thoughts, prayers…
You fell in the love. :) Heh.

I’m glad them messages came through the way they were meant. Sometimes not only lemon juice helps the wound to heal faster, but the words and actions that happen around and in us.

Yes, this world indeed is beautiful.
Hugs to friends,
Liina

De Barcelona, para ser exactos :-) y tú?

You know I love you. Take care darling*

Dear Annie,
Well, yeah…
Thank you for the appreciation ! :)

What a b e a u t i f u l dream Annie. Doesn’t it make you so very happy! So, see what a bit of recreation can to to your inner life. There you are.. together with our Dream man :)

Love you bunches orange piano…I have almost ripe oranges on a tree outside my front yard…Want to come and taste fresh home made orange juice?

Heart

Dear Aditya,

If certain person(s) are seen in Your dream, it may tell about what this person represents in our eyes(their views, characteristics, or problems they are dealing with, a challenge You may have to deal with etc etc.), not neccecarily the person itself. ;)

Your question is good, but answer is different… as we are different people. Not all women are alike as also not all men are alke. Lets not try to stamp certain ways of acting by genres.

Be well, Aditya.

SWANNIE, you are right ” any day, any minute” is an .. awakening minute; a minute of our re-birth, Αναγέννησις.

A nice dream to be with Paulo Coelho and Christina..
Regarding the .. Japanese man, are you sure that he was not …Jon Nakamatsu from the You Tube Video ‘Losers’??
I love you.
LOVE,
Thelma xxx
