Your story in my Blog - Stars by Ani Chibukhchyan
I was looking at the sparkling stars and wondering how do they look like from close distance. Are they nice, or like the moon they are grey, stony and cold? Is their light just an illusion born from the long distance between us and them? Are they modified and enhanced by our imagination and hidden desires?
You can wish on a falling star. But have you ever thought where they fall to? What happens to them after that? Maybe they reach the earth and get lost in the crowd. Small, lost stars living a
Quote of the day
Paulo Coelho
The warrior of light listens to Lao Tzu when he says that we should let go of the idea of days and hours in order to pay more attention to the moment.

Today’s Question by the reader : Andreas
Why did you write a book in which the main character is a serial killer?
The main theme of the book is manipulation of dreams, which is, in my eyes at least, one of the most vile forms of violence.
Therefore the very decor of the Festival is quite aggressive and Igor’s presence only magnifies this.
But to be honest, this is type of answer that I can only give once I wrote the book. The moment I was in the story, this seemed to me to be the natural way of telling this specific tale.

“The worst of it was that I saw Sorin wearing orange overalls and with his head shaven, in a video that was delivered to Al-Jazeera (the Arab channel based in Qatar),” says Cristina. “This was a sign that his execution would take place quite soon.”
“I asked God for only one thing: to die with a bullet in the heart. I had already seen videos of prisoners being decapitated; I asked, begged to be shot,” adds Sorin.

Your story in my Blog - The Eternal Flame by Katherine Lao
The candle sits in a glass chamber. Its depth into the glass is telling of how long it has been used. With each flicker of the flame, it melts more wax to form a small pool beneath it and exudes the scent of a strawberry-cherry conconction.
I am often indifferent to details because I am always eager to see or form the big picture. In my haste, I seldom stop and smell the roses much less describe how a candle flickers, yet there is something inherently peaceful in watching this candle burn. It gi

Today’s Question by the reader : András
In the “Manual of the Warrior of Light”, you mention the I Ching. Do you use the I Ching and would you recommend it to the warriors of light?
People wrongly think that the I Ching is a book of divination - it is actually a book of action. That’s why, when you ask something, you need to be very precise in your question and very subtle in your interpretation.
I use the I Ching very seldom - but when I do, it is only for questions that I consider as being at the thresholds of my life. I recommend th
