This week : Rules for being Normal

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:48:50 -0700

Two years ago, I asked some friends the rules of normality. Let's list more rules on how society expect us to behave, so not only can we leave a legacy to the next generation (see? That's how THEY wanted us to become!) but we also can be very attentive in not following patterns that other are always trying to impose on us.
.
My inventory of normality is in one of Warrior of Light Online newsletter, but I put it again here. Please check the post Sept 14 at 12:46 PM

So, I'm looking forward to hear from you your rules to be considered a normal person. By the way, this is in black and white, not normal, but very proper for this post.

Thank you!
Paulo

Forum: Angels

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:44:02 -0700

I got a gift from a reader, Agnieska from Poland it is the painting of my guardian angel.
I wrote a book about angels I believe in angels. The book is called The Valkyries, it takes place in the Mojave Desert and there (and not only there) I had a very strong experience with angels.
Having said that: I want you to share in this forum your experience with angels.
Meaning, moments that you know that your angel is taking you out of trouble; moments that you know that your angel is helping you to get the things that you want.
And of course I want you to discuss with us your beliefs in angels. This very important because even though people talk a lot about angels, they are not truly paying attention. Normally because they dont notice that angels use other people to talk, to act for us.

FORUM ON: UFOs by Paulo Coelho

Your opinion on: my blog by Paulo Coelho

Tue, 19 May 2009 22:52:25 -0700

Three years of my blog this week.

It started with the Trans-Siberian back in 2006 and we are always trying to improve - and not simply invent something out of nothing - and craving for a better interaction between the readers.

I check every day and moderate most of the comments, I don't answer because I want you to talk among yourselves but it is time to do something different. So, what is your suggestion for my blog paulocoelhoblog.com after these three years together?

I am really open to your proposals and I also need your suggestions.

Your Opinion on: revealing shameful acts by Paulo Coelho

Tue, 12 May 2009 01:13:45 -0700

There is a small book here, in French called "Nasty Stories about Great Men".

Of course we all have nasty stories that we wish no one to hear, but sooner or later, they will surface.

That's why I permitted the publishing of my biography that's not yet in English but is in Portuguese and Spanish.

So - you cannot hide - and what would you say to your children that you don't dare to say now? What will they discover after you die?

I invite you to share this in my blog paulocoelhoblog.com or here - either anonymously or with your real name. This way we can see that our vices are not that bad and that we are not the only ones with these flaws.

We can then see these defaults as qualities because we survived. We are warriors of light that even against all odds are able to follow our paths without surrendering to guilt.

Your opinion on: collective worship by Paulo Coelho

Mon, 04 May 2009 18:07:06 -0700

The sun is shining and there is light everywhere. As you know the sun was one of the main objects of adoration in humankind - which means that we have to have collective rituals.

That's I think religion can play a very important role since people are sharing the same respect for the same mysteries. Yet, spiritually, you can't transfer your path to someone else.

So, I would like to know: Are you engaged in some kind of collective worship?

I'm not talking about religion: I'm actually talking about dance, sports, basically everything that we can do together and that at the end of the day we feel we are part of the same movement. So I would like to hear your opinion on that and hear of your collective worships - outside of religion if possible.

Your opinion on: Peace by Paulo Coelho

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 00:31:43 -0700

What is really the meaning of the word peace?
Sometimes people dont understand why I use the term Warrior of Light since Im engaged in a kind of confrontation with life. I do this because I believe that Nature is also in a state of confrontation: springtime against winter, winter against summer, lions against zebras, etc.
For me peace is an utopia as far as Nature is concerned.
That said we need to strive for peace among ourselves but we also need to keep in mind that absolute peace is an utopia despite the many attempts of peace in the world. Consequently this state of peace may lead to boredom.
In the light of this: Do you really want peace in the world? Have you ever considered that there was never peace in the world and that therefore this goal may simply be unattainable?
