Buenas noches Maestro.
Es una suerte contar con su experiencia material y espiritual y que la quiera compartir con todos nosotros a través de sus libros. De la lectura de dicho párrafo de su obra “Aleph”, desprende un conocimiento e iluminación interior, conseguido con el paso de los años, recibiendo el amor y el apoyo espiritual e incondicional de su ser mas querido, su esposa, al igual que unas pocas semillas, que tardan en florecer, pero cuando lo hacen, sucede de una forma rotunda; igualmente conseguimos la espiritualidad renovada en vidas ya vividas. Gracias por su visión tan motivante de la vida. Atentamente; Domingo Salmeron
Bueno esto es embarazoso por que preste mi libro Aleph a un amigo y todavía no me lo devolvió, asi que no tengo para releer el capitulo, pero acudiré a mi memoria por que ese capitulo a me toco muy de cerca.
Lo que interprete es que hay experiencias espirituales que son como las semillas de la caña de bambú que una vez introducidas en la tierra crecen en su interior sin ser vista y se desarrollan durante 5 años, luego de pasar por ese periodo de crecimiento por debajo de la tierra, en poco mas de 20 dias completan su crecimiento acelerado por encima de la tierra llegando a conseguir gran altura en poco tiempo. Seria la parte visible.
Mi interpretación es que hay experiencias espirituales que son como una semilla que cae dentro de nosotros y va creciendo en silencio a paso lento en nuestro interior hasta que llegado un determinado tiempo, 4 o 5 años, brota y mira la luz, experimentando un crecimiento agigantado en muy poco tiempo, pero mientras tanto estuvo creciendo durante muchos años en nuestro interior. Me gustaría explayarme mas sobre el tema pero espero que se entienda este resumen.
Espero tener suerte y una ayuda de Dios.
Un fuerte abrazo
¡¡¡Excelente!!! fue un placer leerle; (soy un lector, no un comentarista), gracias.
Great book as i hoped it would be! But Paulo your attempts in trying to understand the mystery of life or of the “universe” would be so much more appreciated if your books or your travels could explore some countries in the southeast (Philippines! wishful thinking…). After all, I may be totally convinced to believe you when you say there’s pot of gold at the end of the rainbow based on strong assumptions and facts but would you not want to find it out for yourself?
Apreciado Paulo he terminado de leer tu libro Aleph y me ha gustado.
En la vida que tú te has montado con éxito es muy cómodo ver el mundo.
Creo que sigues sin entender muchas cosas de las que escribes.
Ojala que la energía que irradias en la gente se revuelva a favor tuyo.
Un abrazo.
How do you this!?!
Please Mr Coelho, I need to understand this quote from Aleph better:
“A warrior in search of his dream must take his inspiration from what he actually does and not from what he imagines himself doing”.
Thank you.
Celeste
I was anxiously awaiting the publication of Aleph in my country, and launched into reading it as soon as it was in my hands… I grew up in the home of a Protestant minister and writer, which gave me a comfort level with an author’s license to change details… a point which seems uncomfortable for some readers. These details do not compromise the truth of the book- they may protect privacy, add color and interest to the tale or allow the author to better convey a point. The truth you convey is bigger than the details. I found much of this tale to be enlightening and thrilling- but some aspects to be disturbing and difficult to accept… I do not in my heart of hearts believe in reincarnation- but perhaps more importantly, if I cannot remember “being” someone else, what good is it to me now? If I submerge myself in trying to resolve conflicts of another lifetime over which I now have no control, I am distracted from this lifetime. I miss out on the wonders around me today, and those that come tomorrow. Maybe accepting God’s immense love and unconditional forgiveness is the key to being able to live in the present… The character of Hilal was developed so well- persistent, nagging, seductive, inspiring, supportive, jealous, invasive, intrusive- a temptress… not comfortable for me as a reader, until I think of her as a personification of internal conflicts we all have at some point. Here is your magic- your insightfulness, Paulo- your ability to weave profound tales that speak to people all over the world, and which make the world a better place. Thank you.
heart…wisdom…love…magic and Aleph, all that under the Moon
I Hope you never forget about Faith that allows every warrior to see Love of the univers in a single drop of human’s sorrow …
You are welcome,
Let the Guardian Angel bless you
Necesito saber a dónde le puedo mandar un correo para que solo usted lo lea, tengo una historia muy importante que contarle, no se si me contestará o no, pero insistir tampoco dejare de hacerlo, es una historia sobre varios de sus libros que he leido, el tiempo en el que los he leido, porque y como ha sido, gracias por escribir, el destino me ha puesto cada uno de ellos en el momento indicado, fui maría en el momento que lo necesité, soy Santiago cada vez que dejo algo valioso por vivir mi leyenda personal, descubrí la libertad en el zahir, entre muchos más, hoy que leia aleph, hubo un momento en el que no podia dejar de llorar, por eso gracias
There are different things I found difficult to believe, but that does not mean they are not true.
I had different experiences similar to what Paulo describes when I was an adolescent (I guess I was more open or less bias back then) yet I did not know what was happening and I got scared….reading ALEPH was not easy for me opposite to other books of Paulo what I have read in one day or two, this one is taking me more than 3 months!!
I found myself questioning my own experiences and felt overwehelmed…..I decided to slow down myself and just go with the flow….
Paulo is a true light in my path since I read him for the first time and he continues opening my mind and my heart to things that I can’t explain, I just know they are….I just feel it.
Paulo,
before reading your book (which i actually.stumbled across one day before catching a train!) i had just done a past life regression with a channeler.
I think i might be one of those “witches” you talk about in aleph… but then again, who knows how many of these types of events occured in medieval times.
Don’t know! But shivers ran throughy back when i read that chapter.
Great book, although very hard to take in at this very moment of my life. like all your other books i read, your stories move something inside me. Sometimes positevely, sometimes negatively.
Paulo
me identifico con todos tus libros…realmente los vivo, y despiertan en mi memorias de esta y otras vidas…y ahora cada vez que el agua de la regadera tapa mis oídos, me conecto con ese momento de poner la mente en blanco, de sentir una inyección de paz y tranquilidad que brinda una energía inexplicable.
El propósito de tu alma al compartirnos tus sentimientos y pensamientos, seguramente se eleva cada vez más. Gracias
Me encanta que tu esposa tenga esa madurez que nos describes en Aleph al dejarte “libre” para reencontrarte, y la fuerza interna que sacó en las Valkirias, seguramente ella también debe tener experiencias dignas de plasmarse en un libro. Se lo propones?
Eres una persona que dejas huella y admiro que siempre te renueves y sigas creciendo.
Te mando un abrazo lleno de buena vibra.
Alejandra
Estimado Paulo:
Mucha sabiduria en su libro, experiencias suyas que me transmiten buena energia para continuar con mi lucha en la busqueda de mi felicidad, no he tenido muchos momentos espirituales pero los pocos me han mostrado senderos de luz que me permiten estar vivo hoy en día, tengo muchas cosas en mi vida pero me falta muchos sueños por alcanzar, mi principal bien es el amor de una mujer increible a quien amo profundamente, he soportado multiples pruebas que me dejaron agotado y sin fuerzas pero la magia de Dios me permitió continuar con la busqueda de mi felicidad, hay momentos en que flaqueo pero existen otros donde tengo la fuerza para vencer cualquier obstáculo, Dios me brinda la magia del amor personificado en mi novia que se encuentra muy lejos de mi pero hemos logrado una conexión espiritual única que puedo sentirla cuando ella se siente mal y viceversa, sinceramente la magia del amor es indiscriptible…. Grcias por sus mensajes esperanzadores, me han ayudado en mis momentos más dificiles.
Hello Paulo,
I just finished reading Aleph and it left me with a great sense of belonging to this existence that sometimes seems so chaotic and random. But your book conveys a deeper meaning to everything that happens to us, and I appreciate your vision so much. I would like to know if you use the ring of fire as an exercise to connect and understand the present life. Thank you for your inspiration.
Un abrazo,
Manjari
Dear Mr. Coelho
Thank you for this amazing book and for sharing your Experiences. After the first chapter I felt kind of recognized and I knew again that this is much more than a story.
i felt the same about returning back into the past. I feel that there happened in different incarnations hard things that are blocking my magickal development today. It feels as if I try to push my head through a plate of darkened glass.
By the way – A lot of your books helped me in different situations in my life, especially the warrior of the light – which I had in my pocket in the darkest period of my life. I went through by believing. By being grateful.
Thank you for your amazing work.
Chris
P.S. How can I find a Mentor like J. ?
I already finesh reading ALEPH its wonderful thank you paulo coelho Rena from syria
Hello Sir,
I come straight to the point. You have explained about the 12 flowers proposal event in your book “LIKE THE FLOWING RIVER”
and you explain the same event in Aleph which happened way after you published the book “LIKE THE FLOWING RIVER”.
Yet you say Aleph book is all true.
Could you straighten this out ?
It happened in the train, but when I wrote LFR I decided to use it in a different setting
Dear Kartheek
Hi!
If I’m not mistaken it´s been you several times asking Paulo about wether the Aleph or other books like The Pilgrimage are true.
I understand there must be a reason for which he replies to your comments explaining this and that. I’m curious about the reason, but I have learnt to live with the mistery .
It was because of you I finally convinced myself the girl I had seen in the transiberian trip videos was Hilal even though Paulo told you that it might be her, not that it was her.
Like you, I was a little disapointed when I saw that Yao does not look like Chinese and is about forty. May be he was protecting his identity. However, having read almost all Paulo’s interviews since 2004, and all his books I can tell you I trust him. He might hide some facts to protect other people but he is honest, sincere and warmhearted. Lying is very difficult because you forget what you have lied about . If he says Aleph is true I believe it is.
Anyways, details are not that important, but the overall meaning of the book.
You know, my dear, physical reality is one thing and what it is invisible to the eye is another .If you want to know the secrets of physical reality you can read Short History of Time. Stephen Hawking almost describes the entire physical universe there. He does not believe in God, he says the universe might be finite but have no borders, there might not have been a beginning of time but the universe might have existed for ever. He states that there might be at least 10 dimensions instead of the visible three we percieve and explores the posibility of the existence of intelligent beings only when we can remember the past and not the future and under the condition that the universe is expanding. He also explores the possibility of time travel using black holes. Impossible for us in our physical world and with the present technology.
And this is where Aleph appeals to me.
I believe Paulo. I believe there are doors to other dimensions or universes that are open when we close the five senses we are used to. Those other dimensions can perfectly be the ones that Stephen Hawking mentions in his book, only we don’t percieve them.
And what it is impossible for technology in the physical world we live becomes possible in that other dimension we sink when we are in a trance.
To finish I would like to share with you my insight: there are people who need to see to believe, there are others who accept there are things they don’t understand but are there and the heart tells them they are right thinking so.
After reading Hawking I was left hopeless because I came to the conclusion I don’t want to understand the mistery of the Universe. But I respect his path and I respect mine.
Acabei de ler ‘O Aleph”, e mais uma vez minha vida toma novos rumos a partir de seus livros, o caminho me foi mostrado desde o Alquimista e mesmo depois de quase 10 anos, ainda entendo o quanto ainda tenho que me encontrar…
Obrigado Paulo Coelho, por divulgar e fazer com que o mundo conheça e não tenha mais preconceito e nem temor de “nós”.
Claudia
Dziękuję za to jakim jesteś człowiekiem i za uczucia, które dajesz nam czytelnikom. ‘Alev’ porusza i przenosi nas w inną rzeczywistość, utwierdza że warto mieć cel w życiu i do niego dążyć, najważniejsze jest własne spełnienie i miłość. Kocham Pana Panie Paulo! Pozdrowienia z Polski
Awesome work thank you and thank Piratebay for promoting you :)
Dear Paolu
It took me one week to go back reading your book. I could not resist any longer. I was fighting my own demons with all the love, respect and faith I had inside me for you my Mentor. You did not let me down for a word in your book. It is always about discovering a new dimension of life in your books. I read over 130 pages nonstop, I believe it is the charm of your words kept me going. I want to thank you for being you, and to have the courage to be different.
I want to share with you something my wise teacher once told me when I asked about reincarnation. I was going through a special experience and seeking answers for so many question about Life . She said: “ there is no reincarnation in our religion or culture. Islam don’t mention it, however we do believe that when God first created our soul from the soul of the universe we had the privilege as God’s creature to see all our life like a movie played in front of us with all the choices we will make in our life. We all have met as a souls in that spiritual world, before we get into the physical world and have our bodies. What happen is we will live the life we watched before and we sometimes remember parts of what we saw in the spiritual world of God. Souls are beyond any physical laws. We always visit this world while we are asleep and meet with other souls for dead or alive people.” I am not sure what she said is the truth or what is correct or wrong about it, however in Quraan God said in Surat Al-’Isrā’- 85
” And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, “The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little.”
One more thing I want to share with you. I had some kind of premonition that you will be going through a very hard test of your faith this year. Maybe it will sound silly, but I have to say it to you. PLEASE do not save any minute you can spend with your beloved ones of your life, you will never know when it will be the time to lose them. I am so sorry if my words come to you in abrupt way I wish I can tell you more details but maybe what I felt is nothing important, and only a one of this nonsense ideas we all have sometimes. May Allah bless you and your family.
Thank you again for Aleph, one of the greatest book I read for your so far.
Love
Nora
aleph – ziro time – where we can choose to create – a pass or few – the hebrew name to god yehova wich meens, will becom – ziro time – aleph (alef).
-א – first commandment : im god, you will do no god uppon me- im meens ani, in hebrew אני .
thank you for this

Aleph is in where I exist, and where I will die. It is where all my dreams are, waiting to be released. With every trip, I recuperate one of them, as they have been stolen in my youth. Now, only a thin layer is left on the empty shell, and I’m afraid that maybe not so much time is left, with that cancer running after me. But I hid and digged, and some dreams (or souvenirs???) are still there, so close, ready and afraid to fly away! Mais je les rassemble, et ils me ressemblent, preuve incontestable que j’ai été, et que je suis encore. So many more countries to explore, places to BE!
Hello,
Thank you very much for writting Aleph. In the book Hilal says that times exist because her notes in the violin last in time. But it is not the right answer. The pianist and director Daniel Barenboim tell us how music works without time:
Sound has several very interesting aspects, I think, worth observing. One is duration—that there is a connection between sound and time. But before that there is a connection between sound and silence. When one speaks about sound, very one speaks of the color of sound— a bright sound or a dark sound. Which is of course nonsense because what may be dark for one is light for the other, and vice versa. It’s very subjective. I could say “It’s a beautiful sound.” What is a beautiful sound? So it’s very subjective and not really a definable characterization. Whereas the duration of sound and it’s relation to silence is a very objective thing. I sing a note or I whistle a note and when I have no more air, the note goes. Where does it go? Into the silence again. And when we observe that really more clearly we see that sound has a relationship with silence not unlike the law of gravity. In order to lift a certain object from the ground we have to use energy. But then to sustain it at that level, we have to keep on adding energy or otherwise the object falls to the ground. It’s exactly the same thing with the sound. We need a certain amount of energy to produce the sound. But then to sustain it we have to give more energy or otherwise it goes and it dies in silence. And therefore sound is absolutely, inextricably connected to time, the length of time. And this, I think, what gives it or even more so when it becomes music. It’s really tragic element of the fact that it can die, of the fact that it is a lifetime. Every note is a lifetime for itself.
hi sir,
i just finished reading ALEPH and i loved it but got some queries and need to pour them down …or else i ll be restless ….i will be extremely grateful if i get your email id ….waiting hopefully.
thank you
Paulo, thank you for all emotions and inspirations and… experience I felt reading your books and your blog here.
I would be verry happy if you translate this blog in bulgarian, please :)
Thank you again…
Maestro, te he escrito en twitter pero no me contestas…se que es dificil con tantos seguidores…pero ojala me hagas el favor de contestarme….ALEPH me tiene con muchas dudas…como explicas la re-encarnacion desde el Catolicismo? Yo creci catolica y hay cosas que me cuesta entender….Y como manejaste lo de Hilal con Cristina? Yo se que tu has dicho en otros libros que algunos amores se quedan pendientes para otras vidas pero entonces como sabes la diferencia con los que si se tienen que vivir ahora? Estoy pasando por algo similar en mi vida…estoy casada, pero el amor de mi vida es otro; el amor existe pero no coincidimos en el tiempo, cuando el me amo yo tenia miedo y lo deje escapar, cuando me di cuenta era ya muy tarde….Leer ALEPH me ha costado mucho trabajo; me siento enojada contigo como si fuera Hilal pero a lavez me pongo en el lugar de Cristina….este ha sido el unico de tus libros que no he podido terminar de leer y ya tengo con el 4 meses!….AYUDAME porfavor!!
Dear Paulo, thank you for sharing your Gift with the whole World. You remind me of Merlin who guides his readers into the world of wisdom and miracles with his wizard’s knowledge. I wish I could have a Teacher like you ( though in a way you are already )! I haven’t read Aleph yet but I know that it will find me soon like all of your books did. Out of curiosity I decided to read other peoples’ comments and the funny thing occured to me that I would’ve wrote the same thoughts all together: the personal message that is delivered to each reader and inspiration for everyone. Somehow you managed to interconnect all of us through you works. Thank you for doing God’s job! I was wondering if you write any poems?
Best regards to you and your wife Christina.
P.S.: Please take your time when you’ll work on your new book. We’ll be patiently waiting for your master piece to be born.
You;’ve made it to the local store down the road,,
Yahoo!
Keep it real!
BTW, bought the book, but have to wait till girlfriends birthday (in a couple of days) to give it to her as a present (she wanted the book first), and then i have to wait till she reads it, and the i will read it.
It will be the first one by P.K. Guess ill go in a reverse order. :)
First at all, sorry for my english, I’m spanish…
I am one among many of those that write you, so if you don’t answer me I will not feel offended, but I feel flattered if you read my comment … I’m 23 years, I am a nurse and psychology student and I live in Canary Islands,, a small and beautiful (as well as boring) Spanish islands.
I finished Aleph last night and can not describe how I feel. Normally when I finish a book of yours I’m a few days thinking about my life and then go back to routine, but I feel this time I will take something more. I’ve always had a great fear of death, that interferes with my daily life … after reading Aleph I feel a great relief, but also great doubts. I feel like I’m never going to feel the things you feel and you say in your books, and I feel sad. I’d like to see for myself if there are past lives, not someone tell me. However … why do we ask you all about our life? Why do we ask how to live, like you have all our answers? Why everyone wants to be so important in your eyes, if we’re all the same soul? I feel we are all desperate to live minimally something like what you live, and for that we ask you EVERYTHING in this blog, but I think that’s not ok.
As for the book,, which is what matters, wonderful as everything you write. In reading the last word I cried without knowing why … I guess the universe and I were in harmony. Thank you. God bless you.
Hi,
Paulo, I ´m so happy that you exist. Your work is such great interpretation of what everything life has to offer… Its truly incredible.
God bless and godspeed.
Nossa, lindo este video do Aleph,. Quando li o livro, fiquei me perguntando, o que seria esse momento Aleph e pouco tempo depois passei por uma experiencia que me fez chegar a seguinte conclusão:
Momento Aleph no meu caso, foi como se a energia divina passasse por meu coração, inundando a alma de uma confiança e fé sem medo, e sem duvidas!
Foi incrivel e quero agradecer tambem à Paulo Coelho por suas obras magnificas que ajudam nosso espirito a evoluir neste planeta. Grata
Luzia
Hola soy mexicana y termine de leer Aleph hace 2 meses lo he leido dos vez la primera vez lo termine de leer tan rapido de tan interesante que escribe, que no lo saborie. La segunda vez tome mi tiempo y saborie cada parrafo, no queria llegar al final ahunque ya sabia lo que terminaba. Gracias Maestro Coelho es un placer leer sus libros.
Dear Paulo,
I started reading Aleph a few weeks ago. And so far it has changed something in me, i can’t explain it, but soon i will.
As I am a traveller myself (in search of my mission), i hope it can give me some guidance. If not, I’ll still stick on to you as my favourite writer ;-),
At least the book will open some other doors (of perception, i hope)
Also I hope you will come to Munich again, sometime soon?
Hugs,
Marija
“I am the lizard king. I can do anything.” (Jim Morrison)
I just have two questions, Is the extraordinary medium from London part of the reality or is just an invention? And the guy who predicted the car accident to Veronique aswell? You might not imagine how important are this two questions for me. Is it possible I meet them somehow? I have all a human person can wish, money to buy a whole country, success, maternity, and a lot of love from people around me, but I am sad and quite depressive. I was born in Cuba so happiness has always been my surname, but I can’t hide my sadness no more. I think the answer is in the past or in the incoming future. Can you please help me?
Dear Paolo,
I did finished your book 2 weeks ago now…ans it looks like I still could listen to my angels, because your book was exactly what I needed…even if I felt totally unconfortable with coming back and visiting past lives.
Well, anyway, I would like to thank you sooooo much, because now, I have a better idea about what “I forgive” could mean.
No one teached me before. I’ve grown up with anger and fear, against me, against the world. I a way, you helped me to repair my torn and broken inside.
So God bless You Paolo Coehlo, keep listen to your guides and Angels,You did a lot for our world. I wish I could do a bit as you did.
follow your path, so you’ll continue to help us see ours. I thank you for showing me that I was not alone following the Tradition.
may your angel take a special care of you,
all my love,
Justine
Merhaba Paulo,
This is Meltem Saral who live in Moscow and also from Turkey. We have book club and next Monday we are going to talk about Elif. I love the book and it was really interesting experience for me because of place and Hilal.
Thanks
Sir Paulo Coelho,
Yes, I have knighted you…..EVERY book I have read of yours (almost all of them) what ever happened in the book immediately happened to me. For example, The Valkyries, when I put the book down 8 Harleys rode past me and I had a witness that nearly fell over. Aleph was no different for me although it happened during the whole book…My last name means George and that was the last thing in your book….There is so much more I wish to tell you but this space is not the place. I thank you for your insights and how they have incorporated into my own experience even if it scares me a tad.. Sincerely, Mara and I am 59 same as the book.
dear paulo,
i need to tell you that reading your book was a very strange but finally positive experience for me
at the beginning i felt extremely bad ,i felt like many old and painful memories were stirred inside me,i felt scared and anguished and i didnt know why,i almost dropped the book,but then i took it bacvk ,cause i like to finish what i star
i had to help myself with prayers and cerimonies of light to enlighten my soul and to be able to continue the book and i was happy for it
i think i’m opne of the girls that burned on the fire,probably the seventh
i might dream ,but that is my feeling
first of all
i always knew ,since i was small that i had other lives and that once i died burnt as a witch,
my mother told me I’m crazy and different since my memory can recall(sorry for my english)i always felt different dimensions ,i heal myself and my children with plants and with the enrgy that flow trough my hands,just like my great granma was doing
and my life brought me to france,i actually living in guadeloupe,and i never like france,i always find very strange that link that brought me in the french world;then the names …lilah and hilal and yao the name the my best friend and guide choose before her death,my relationship with men always so tortured and violent…my red hair….
so many signs…
what i’vegot from your book is the certitude that i need to forgive ,the man for sure and anything or anybody that hurt me
life is magic and i luv it so much
i believe in the energies of the universe and in nature and i want to thank you for grantin me another step forward and for all the signs
hoping to see you one day
from soul to soul
luv always
lilah
I enjoyed reading ‘Alpeh’ and wrote a blog in Dutch about it. And I’d like to share it with you: http://ilcavallobianco.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/reis-met-de-aleph/
Thank you for the book!
Es un placer saludar. soy chileno tengo 22 años y hoy comencé a leer Aleph, me llamo la atención pues lo utilizo en un” ritual de magia que abre una ventana desde mi circulo mágico” y no dude en comprarlo ademas soy profesor y para mis trabajos utilice varios extractos de sus libros sobre el liderazgo, le escribo para decir que me siento muy atraído hacia sus libros y que espero ansiosamente encontrar respuestas a mí vida y el como no dudar de mis habilidades.
Gracias por acompañarme en este momento de mi vida en el que siento que estoy madurando rápidamente y gracias por dejarme ser parte de un trozo de su vida!
Que la luna ilumine su camino y que el sol aliente a su alma a brillar y a encender sonrisas en las personas! bendiciones
I have got Aleph for Christmas from my good friend. She didnt know I didnt plan to read it. I have all your books, so she thought it would be a great gift. I discovered your books just a year and something ago. From the new roommate. My fist I ve red was Brida. That book was ment for me. And some happened with Aleph. I cant say that rest of of your book were not good, they just didnt have answers I was looking for. So I wont look for any of your books, if some of them were ment for me to read, they will come to me themself, like Brida and Aleph. But still you are my favorit author, specialy after I ve red you biography. You showed yourself completely naked, that needs a lot of power. God bless you.
Paulo Coelho, sou uma das milhares de suas fãs. Adoro seus livros, mas este “O ALEPH” me encantou. Imaginei cada cena, cada movimento, cada voz e sentimentos. Uma sensação incrível que você sabe transcrever em palavras de uma forma extraordinária. Confesso que fiquei fascinada pelo exercício do anel de luz. Todavia, me atentei ao ultimo parágrafo do livro e como curiosidade não se deve fazer. Gostaria de poder conhecê-lo pessoalmente, tenho tantas dúvidas, tantas inquietações e ninguém para conversar adequadamente. Mas sei o meu lugar e aceito o caminho q tenho q enfrentar, embora mtas vezes me sinta um peixe fora dágua. Mas, cada experiência vale como um impulso não é verdade. E, seus livros como este q tive a oportunidade de me deleitar me leva a um mundo melhor e de esperança no amor, na amizade, na luta, na perseverança e na fé. Obrigada querido escritor. Sou uma gaúcha de 36 anos que cada vez mais se apaixona pela sua história e ensinamentos. O Aleph o li na praia durante 9 dias, ao som do mar sobre a areia e sob o calor do sol e sentindo o maravilhoso cheiro e vento refrescante do mar. Um abraço.
Just finnish “Aleph” last night. I loved your book. You have a gift for stirring up the spirit in people. You awaken sleeping soul.
Just curious…are you a fan of the music of Celso Fonseca???
Hello Paulo,
Your book winked at me a few weeks ago at the end of one of my many trips. I started reading it in the shop but I finally dismissed it. I kind of found the message at its back a bit “pretentious”. At least, it didn’t resonate with me at the time. Then a few weeks later, it winked again. Many intense things had happened by then in my little world in a very short period of time. I was ready for Aleph to tell me its story! I found it strangely familiar. It might very well be afterall another of those little magical keys I found from time to time. They help me each in their very own way to go a step further on my journey looping back and forth to myself and the world. Thank you!
Rachel
Dear Mr. Coelho,
Here is my voice, one in millions… will it be heard?
Thank you for all your books, your blog and your thougths that you share with people of the world.
Your books touch me deeply and make me realize many things. I want to go deep and discover my soul and my spirituality, I want to learn and use the power and the wisdom that Universum gave us all…
You have been to many countries, either on “work” jurneys, or private ones. Have you heard of Slovakia? Have you been here?
I would like to invite you to my country and show you around… You might enjoy the little heart of Europe, not well known, yet beautiful and peaceful.
If you ever decide to travel this way, I will be ready to accompany you, so that you enjoy your discovering journey to the full.
Respectfully yours
Marketa
