Flirting is an example of such behavior. These as well as other concepts or rhetorics of play are discussed at length by Brian Sutton-Smith inside the book The Ambiguity of Play.

What a pity that my comment from yesterday dissapeared. I don’t think I was moderated because I’m sure there was nothing wrong with it. It must have been a mistake, anyways I’ll try to write it again as faithful as possible to the one I wrote yesterday.

Dear Paulo!

When I begun to read your post about conversations with your Master the thought that your Master must have been in Melk suddenly struck me and I ,somehow, was beginning to feel sorry for not having thought, even for a second, that he had to be there. Reading the comments below I realised he was in fact there. Truly amazing. Anyways, I don’t want to spoil sweet memories of a wonderful night feeling sorry for not having met him ( or maybe I did, who knows?). I believe I met all the people I was to meet there. I grabbed my chance and don’t want to feel sorry for a might-have-been. Besides , the mystery wondering who he might have been makes this stuff thousand times more interesting!

Regarding your post,it sounds like heavenly music to me. Your Master is a very wise man. You are certainly a very good disciple who has learnt what he taught you and must be still teaching you. His influence on you is clearly reflected in your writings. And he must be very proud of having you as a disciple, a person who for a reason he might not even understand has encouranged so many from all over the world to fight for having magic in their lives and who has certainly contributed to make this world a better place.

Tons of love
Adriana

I have written wrong- it should be forget not forgive. Sorry it is like that when I daydream..

never forgive this and our faith

maybe we also shouldn´t forget how cruel people can be to understand love and peace

here is a extra song for your understanding

Your Angel speaks to you. The 17 books you read were his answers. What did you learn from these books?

When you have a question go out in the city and find the answer. It can be a book, a movie, a sentence someone is saying, a song, something “accidental”… The Angel speaks all the time to you. As Paolo said: have a sharp eye and attentive ears. And you will hear him…and see him…

I find myself in doubt a lot of the time, resulting in me blocking everything. The advice given here always tells me not to doubt, to have faith and to love everything and everyone around. What seems so hard to achieve in day to day life seems evident here, and every time I check in for a while I doubt less. It’s nice to be inspired to dream when all around you seems to force you into less. But maybe that’s life telling me in a way I’m not trying hard enough to make it better.
I’m a man of many shortcomings but I’ll try to love enough to put love in every gesture starting with expressing my love for the inspiring posters here.
Greetings and thanks…

“Put love in every gesture.” That says it all. I knew someone like that. She was so lovely and now that she is no longer with us, its not the same anymore.

I have nothing against asking for advice as long as I bear the weight of the decision that I will make.It is wise to consult others. It is important to make it clear that what I receive as advice has value but no direct mandate on what I the individual choose.A person with a good mind will take good advice.

Giving advice is delicate, sometimes it may be better to just rephrase or clarify the question of who is asking for guidance. Giving advice may be easier to administer man to man. With a Woman, I have been advised that you be very careful what you say.

Coherence makes a lot of sense. It suggests balance but very few of us are totally or even usually coherent. Our lack of coherence is the marrow of comedy.

I believe that Our Lord had a tremendous sense of humor. He must have grinned more than a few times about the people he met and those Apostles of his. He could appreciate first hand how “human” we are.

Its nice to be able to laugh or cry and be on the same channel like Dimas was in his moment of truth.

Respect mystery and mystery will bring U light.

This makes me think about something related to science and a dream I had, but a mystery to me. heheh

Such a wise master and friend U have Paulo…
Sometimes making comments on some of your posts it seems too much to me. Sometimes I feel like, all what was needed to be said was said and there is no place for comments.
It is like NO COMMENT. hehehe

I am happy for the masters who are sent to me just for a while and then go. I guess that deep inside I am a rebel which wants no masters around all the time, but I like to take from other’s light from time to time, even though there is this THE ONE who leads and loves me… :D
I am happy that he talks to me trough others lips and actions, like the ones I meet in Melk for example.
I believe that each one of us should find the master of it own self in it own self(even though we will always need some help).

As for me big changes were made and still are happening, and today I could see the great results of it. I am so happy for me!!!
Thank you! And thank you to my dear Jojo who shared so much with me and helped me in changing. Most of time you were like a mirror to me, even though we are different.
Happy Birthday again! I love U soooo much!!! Miss those big loud laughter at night with U!

PS: Never ignore the light of your heart! Keep your mind lighted! Bring light with your actions!

Always with Love! <3

Sometimes the wonder that comes from the people around us is the suprise or the awakening that we all need at one point in time….thank you for being an awakening in my life, Paulo

En traduisant ce texte, cela m’a permis de faire un bilan
“Parfois il utilise la colere pour la paix…l’ennui lorsqu’il veut nous montrer l’importance de l’aventure, le silence…responsabilite de ce que l’on dit, la maladie pour nous…l’importance de la maladie, la curiosite, etc..il se sert de la mort pour nous enseigner l’importance de la mort..”

Je peux identifier avec tout cela..et j’ecoute les messages par “l’intermediaire des levres” des personnes dans la rue, le tram, les amis, etc.
J’ai trouve qu’en prenant des photos tous les jours, je capturais le moment , comme dit J les gens ne font pas attention aux petits details de la vie et que oui, j’ai grandit, j’ai fait des progres. Je me suis rendue compte que j’avais un enorme fardeau a decharger. Je me comprends mieux .
L’observation et ecouter sont un des plus gros atouts, J’ai change d’opinions et je suis plus tolerante.
Quant aux emotions…c’est parfois trop a gerer – il faut que ca sorte et cela fait beaucoup de bien – Je comprends que la personne la plus importante dans ma vie c’est moi et” ce que pensent les autres n’est pas important” J’ai mis du temps a comprendre cela et je ne le prends pas personnellement.
J’ai appris la discipline mais pas une discipline imposee par les autres.J’ai appris a vivre seule et petit a petit je m’apercois que j’ai change pour le mieux les progres sont lents mais j’ai tout la vie devant moi. Je me contente de moins et j’apprecie la nature et la marche.
J’ai encore du chemin a faire mais je commence a y voir plus clair.
Le sentiment de culpabillite … il a diminue et j’en suis consciente – demander des conseils (mon petit peche mignon) je me les demande a present – mon intuition me guide.

Merci
Sincerement,
Marie-Christine

Oi Guerreiro!

É vero…Deus usa muitas pessoas para nos mandar recadinhos e mensagens importantes.

Deus falou comigo muitas vezes, através de seus livros…ou de simples tweets como Clonando Confúcio, ou os Coelhismos…frases pequeninas, mas que tocam fundo.
São os melhores conselhos,porque a gente pega se quiser…
Que Deus continue usando sempre vc como instrumento, suas palavras atingem muitos corações…
“Veronika ” é um dos livros que mais marcou minha vida.

Vou deixar pra vc o link de uma música de outra pessoa que Deus usou para me mandar muitas mensagens, o Pe. Fabio de Melo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az0kHWvctBI&feature=related

É minha forma de agradecer a vc por suas palavras tão sábias, que fazem com que tanta gente te ame.Mesmo de longe, mesmo sem te conhecer, gosto de pensar que somos amigos.
Agape é assim, não é, espalha-se como polén.
Quem espalha amor como vc, recbe amor de volta, de gente que provavelmente nunca vai ver ao vivo…
Vc está sempre em minhas orações.

Não sei se um dia vc vai ler, mas vou deixar aqui o link do meu post mais recente:

http://amigopadre.blogspot.com/2010/04/maos-de-tesoura.html

E esse de um texto que escrevi sobre os recados que Deus manda de forma inusitada:

Bendita tecnologia que nos aproxima de gente iluminada como vc!

Deus te ilumine Guerreiro!

I follow the words written. Isn’t there a pain in letting others tell which way belongs to me, but i understand that it is but our angel that guides us through them.
mother uses the opposite to teach us the importence of it. why is it that it has to use so? why the glory must be known by the destruction of it. Can it not be made beautiful by letting the angel stop our way without letting us step the cliff. i understand this is the way of learning…but why to learn what is destroyed? the experience will never return, then why? it’s beauty be realized after destrution…is it not there for it to be lived?
Loving your words. gracias!!

My Teacher said that the best poem is the dialogue between two people.
No ideal ryme can be more beautiful than two people who share ideas and feelings.
I think with his words, your Teacher brought you to take out of your soul “your poems”, and share them with us.
Thank you

Es increible las diferentes maneras en las que aprendemos y de quienes aprendemos, yo tengo grandes maestros en casa, mis hijos, se supone que yo les ensene pero sucede lo contrario, en alguna ocacion me invitaban a hacer el camino de Santiago, me encantaria pero por ahora los ninos me estan dando unas lecciones increibles o me estoy sensibilizando al espiritu y le puedo entender mejor. Increlible lo que me esta sucediendo. Un fuerte abrazo Paulo.

Yes Paulo we should never forgive this and our faith. Maybe we also shouldn´t forgive how cruel people can be to understand love and peace!
This is a song I have sent earlier, then it didn´t come through, I hope it does now!

Can’t help myself … :-)
Need to exist with what comes up …
Little hints so that we can try to find “J” (similar to the Find Charlie’s books) in all the pictures taken ????
Or impossible, because “J” is like Charlie in Charlie’s Angels ???

I remember a story I’ve read about Carl G. Jung:
“He was over 80 years old when a colleague of him approached him with the question: now Dr. Jung we’re both old and I want to know from a wise man like you whether you believe in life after death? Jung smiled and answered him, my dear friend, whether I believe or not will not help you when you are on your death bed, It is you who have to find the answer and in believe in it.”
Yes, Advice is just theory; and living is always very different. So, each one have his own life to live..

I decided that today is my Faith day too =)

As a plant can grow in the middle of an office without sun or natural air, just being cared by a person his personal God.

We can grow in the middle of this world sometimes artificial, but being cared by our God.

Grateful for those notes shared. When I read about your tendency to always ask for advice on any decision to take, that put me back to that time in life when doubt was dominant. Not easy to get out of the ordinary path to enter the extraordinary one. So many “enemies” to encounter. It is true about being aware that in our daily life, I must be all ear, all eyes, all senses present to capture the whispering of the Angels, of the Spirit, and that I must silence the world in my head. I must be also opened minded, ready to change all of the sudden the thing that I called truth and that becomes suddenly its contrary or just something that I used to help me put a feet before the other. When you speak about God using loneliness to teach about being together, etc, that reminded me about Blake’s quote about visiting the excess to find the balance, something like that. That was how in my life I discovered day after day … going from no to a big yes and coming back to balance, to a choice that brought peace, joy, fulfillment. Love that quote: “The true spiritual path is stronger than the reasons that led us to it.” I have stopped trying to find reasons, etc … I now accept the mystery and walk opened to what the Spirit has to show me. I am walking to discover all of me and all the whys of me in relation with one and the world I discover. I stopped that urge to go and seek from others a reasonable reason, a proof … I just walk and find on my path suddenly a word, a sign, a thought, an object, a vision that tells me to continue or to turn. And as for being ready to change each day an opinion, etc, that is so true. Nothing is fixed anymore since all is movement, all is evolution, all is growing. I know that I will encounter on my path someone like J. In the meantime, I have someone similar to J. in my life … my Soul that is my Guide. In the silence, be it in a place or within me, my head and my body, in faith towards who I truly am, in letting Me Be, I am capable of listening to the words and whispers of the Spirit, of my Spiritual Friends, of others Souls … well, more and more.

Love, Jojo.

Thank you dear Paulo Coelho, for the Wisdom shared and LOVE given to us from and through the passages above.
GOD’s blessings and presence is in every step of our life; we are never alone and as the story says: sometimes there are just two footprints on the sand. It is the minutes that HE carries us on his shoulders.
LOVE,
