Today’s question by the reader : Gerald
What has inspired you to write The Winner Stands Alone?
In this book I wanted to explore how dreams can be manipulated and how people get shattered in the process. I’m not condemning vanity – since all under the sun is vanity as Salomon said. What I am interested in is in how people allow themselves to be dispossessed of themselves.
In our current society there are collective standards that are completely anonymous and yet many try to subscribe to them. Some people believe their happiness is con

Iran by Neda
My best friend in Iran, a doctor who showed me its beautiful culture when I visited Teheran in 2000, who fought a war in the name of the Islamic Republic (against Iraq), who took care of wounded soldiers in the frontline, who always stood by real human values, is seen here trying to resuscitate Neda - hit in her heart.

A warrior of light is never indifferent to injustice.
Paulo Coelho
A warrior of light is never indifferent to injustice.
He knows that all is one and that each individual action affects everyone on the planet. That is why, when confronted by the suffering of others, he uses his sword to restore order.
But even though he fights against oppression, at no point does he attempt to judge the oppressor. Each person will answer for his actions before God and so, once the warrior has completed his task, he makes no further comment.
A warrior of lig
Iran and Rumi
Rumi, Persian poet (1207- 1273)
Lord, said David, since you do not need us,
why did you create these two worlds?
Reality replied: O prisoner of time,
I was a secret treasure of kindness and generosity,
and I wished this treasure to be known,
so I created a mirror: its shining face, the heart;
its darkened back, the world;
The back would please you if you’ve never seen the face.
Has anyone ever produced a mirror out of mud and straw?
Yet clean away the mud and straw,
and a mirror might be revealed.

Forum: Magic
Often I am asked: are you a magician?
To which I always reply – of course I am a magician and I believe in magic. I also belong to an old tradition called RAM (that you can read in my book, The Pilgrimage).
Having said that, RAM or any secret orders don’t have hidden secrets. I think that the only hidden secret is the hidden power that you have inside of you.
Therefore I encourage you to talk about your hidden powers in his forum. To accept them, to tell us how you elaborated them and the differen

Epictetus to his disciples
Paulo Coelho
Two things can happen when we meet someone: either we become friends, or we try to convince the other person to accept our convictions. The same happens when the ember meets another piece of coal: either it shares its fire with it, or it is suffocated by its size and ends up extinguished.
As we are generally insecure at a first contact, we try indifference, arrogance or excessive humility. The result is that we stop being who we are and things start heading tow
