Coelho has choose Melchisedec to send Santiago on the road ?<br /> Melchisedech is maybe the most enigmatic character in the Bible and one among we know the less ? </p> http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/topic.php?id=17&page#post-29 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 08:52:34 +0000 Hadrian 29@http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/ <p>If you liked “the Alchemist”, you would LOVE “The Epic of Arya: In Search of the Sacred Light”. It is described as “a Spiritual Journey of Self-Discovery beyond Eastern Fundamentalism and Western Materialism”.<br /> In the Alchemist, Coelho spoke of a boy’s long journey across the miles in search of wealth, a journey which ultimately ends with the realisation that the real and enduring wealth is to be found within.<br /> Abir Taha’s “The Epic of Arya; In Search of the Sacred Light” (www.the-epic-of-arya.com) is the odyssey of the Spirit on earth, a spiritual, inner journey of initiation, self-conquest, and self-discovery which starts in man’s soul and its tragic and endless inner struggle between light and darkness, between the human and the divine. For Arya is both a woman and a goddess, and she suffers as a bridge between two distant shores, striving to reconcile the irreconcilable. Her journey ends with the realisation that true, divine harmony is achieved when man again becomes one, accepting his humanity and embracing his divinity. </p> http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/topic.php?id=16&page#post-28 Sun, 23 Aug 2009 06:14:47 +0000 jppancho1129 28@http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/ <p>died </p> http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/topic.php?id=15&page#post-27 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 17:15:18 +0000 pepon0619 27@http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/ <p>I've just finished reading The Alchemist. It's a great read, really in the tradition of Og Mandino's classics and The Little Prince. But could somebody tell me how the author's surname is pronounced? I don't have any knowledge of Portuguese. Thanks. </p> http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/topic.php?id=5&page#post-26 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:56:11 +0000 octoberdance 26@http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/ <p>I am a tenth grader but i am also a year behind the rest of my classmates. before you judge, i am very capable of discussing such a book. the alchemist was not just a book though. it was a journey. it reflected back on my life even though short lived it was and is something to talk about. for me, the book might be perceived differently since most of you guys probably already fulfilled your personal legend or missed your chance. for me there is still time. paulo coelho told me not to give up and i wont. </p> http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/topic.php?id=3&page#post-25 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 18:02:10 +0000 Pam 25@http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/ <p>MeganJewell: Do you think the books are written to be taken literally? They serve as a source of great inspiration, but do you think they should be taken as Truth? "The whole world conspires..." from the Alchemist makes one wonder, doesn't it?

Is it from the top-down or bottom-up? Which direction does Mr. Coehlo's books most promote and encourage?

I've read alot of Coelho's books, but this one left the biggest impression on me and in alot of ways has changed me..I felt like I discovered a part of me through it. L0ve..sex...life.. freedom..commitment... His way of explaining everything is unreal. I don't agree with the ending though. I think it would've been more powerfull if she f0llowed the path she chose.. instead her prince charming appeared at the end and another fairytale was written.. And we all kn0w that life is anything but a fairytale.. Anyhone agrees with me...? Anyone has any other opinions..? Overall a GREAT book! I fell in love with it.. :) </p> http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/topic.php?id=5&page#post-15 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 10:52:57 +0000 LadyMuffin 15@http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/ <p>Besides is an inspirational book, The Alchemist also have the value of literary. from the characters, plot, setting, morality, and also theme, it's all containing a literary value. It is not just a book but it is a book which can show us how to not giving up on our dream and still, the value of morality is mentioned on every chapter of this book. </p> http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/topic.php?id=3&page#post-14 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 23:03:16 +0000 MeganJewell 14@http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/ <p>Shivangi is right, your books are great to read.

The sites seperately are all great and very well done, but to me they appear is a group of seperate sites with a common theme. Personally i think it would be far easier to navigate if you group the blog / warrior of the light / and general site together, with a similar layout etc (myspace/youtube excluded ofcourse). It might make things a little more coherent.</p> <p>Another thing is that i could not find a link to this forum easily from the blog or warrior of the light. I think a forum like this has great potential, maybe you can link blog entries to topics here, so instead of blog comments people can discuss the entries in a forum topic?</p> <p>Just some ideas, thanks for the nice job sofar :) </p> http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/topic.php?id=6&page#post-10 Thu, 06 Dec 2007 19:42:30 +0000 sadhurishi 10@http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/ <p>would you also add more structure or easier navigation and rather one presence than many different ones?

Mainly he is promoting his books wherever he goes but when do you see him speak up for the peace or freedom? All the leaders of the world would listen to him at least.</p> <p>Still, I love his writings. </p> http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/topic.php?id=2&page#post-4 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 13:54:52 +0000 James88 4@http://www.paulocoelhoinstitute.org/forum/ <p>I think it is a wonderful and great idea!
