precisa de uma vontade firme e de uma imensa

capacidade de entrega. Embora tenha um objetivo,

nem sempre o caminho para atingí-lo é aquele que
imagina.

Usa a disciplina e a compaixão. Deus jamais

abandona seus filhos, mas seus desígnios são

insondáveis e Ele constrói o atalho com nossos próprios passos"

Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist picked up a book that someone in

the caravan had brought. Leafing through the pages,

he found a story about Narcissus.

The alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus, a youth

who daily knelt beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty.

He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell

into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower

was born, which was called the narcissus.

But this was not how the author of the book ended the

story.

He said that when Narcissus died, the Goddesses of the

Forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh

water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.

"Why do you weep?" the Goddesses asked.

"I weep for Narcissus," the lake replied.

"Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus," they

said, "for though we always pursued him in the forest, you

alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand."

"But..... was Narcissus beautiful?" the lake asked.

"Who better than you to know that?" the Goddesses said

in wonder, "After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each

day to contemplate himself!!"

The lake was silent for some time.

Finally it said:

"I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus

was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my

banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty

reflected."

"What a lovely story," the alchemist thought.

I also believe this is lovely and a beautiful excerpt from the book the alchemist. If you get a chance to read it please do because it will surely enlighten you. And give you a different perspective on life.

… bahwa segala yang ada di muka bumi ini mempunyai jiwa, entah itu mineral, sayuran, ataupun hewan — atau bahkan sekadar pemikiran sederhana.(Paulo Coelho, Sang Alkemis)

i n t r o d u c t i o n

Hampir  setiap  orang membutuhkan mengekspresi diri,  entah agar diketahui oleh orang lain maupun cukup diketahui oleh yang gaib-gaib saja (atau cukup diketahui dan dirasakan oleh diri sendiri).

Hal itu juga yang membuat aku membuat blog ini. Terus terang, apabila kita telah dikarunia pikiran dan kalbu oleh Sang Creator, maka banyak hal yang akan berkelebat di dalam diri kita. Dan apabila itu cuma didiamkan, maka secara sadar maupun tidak akan mendorong kita bereaksi secara positif ataupun negatif. Sehingga untuk menghindari menyenangkan orang lain yang secara meyakinkan tidak suka terhadapku, dan membikin sedih orang-orang kelihatannya rada perhatian (suka atau apa saja yang menyenangkan) terhadapku, maka aku membuat blog ini, sekedar untuk mengurangi beban dibenakku, agar beban-beban itu bisa keluar dan terbang kemana mereka berasal mula.

Di blog ini juga, aku mungkin akan mengomentari hal-hal yang ada sekitarku, atau sekedar memajang hasil karyaku, mungkin juga mengutip hasil kerja pihak lain ( tentu saja disertai nama atau alamat pihak yang aku kutip ). Agar diketahui oleh Yang Mulia Pengunjung blogku ini.

Dan apabila di blogku ini ada tulisan maupun gambar yang mungkin dianggap berbeda (menyinggung pihak lain), aku minta maaf. Mungkin karena kepala dan hati kita berlainan hingga menyebabkan perbedaan itu.

Tetapi yakinlah dunia ini perlu kemajemukan (kalau dalam bahasa Pancasila, disebut Bhinneka ya ?). Akan membosankan bila kita mendiami tempat yang semuanya mirip satu sama lainnya. Sedangkan apabila kita sama semua, bakalan tidak ada yang namanya anak maupun keturunan iya kan ?

Dan di tempat yang disebut tanah air ini, yang namanya demokrasi baru tumbuh, sedangkan ia sendiri belum dewasa. Dan dapat dipastikan orang – orang yang tinggal di dalamnya belum dewasa juga secara demokrasi. Apalagi yang empunya blog ini, jauh dari kata matang kalau soal demokrasi.

But guys, aku masih belum putus asa kalau soal demokrasi itu. Biar sekarang aku masih ngeri kalau dengar kritik yang ditujukan ke aku, tetapi aku terus meyakinkan diri sendiri kalau kritik itu bagus untuk aku. Aku yakin dengan kritik, aku akan terus berkembang ke arah yang lebih. Bukankah pihak lain juga bisa mengajarkan kita hal yang berguna untuk kita ? Entah itu dirasakan menyakitkan atau menyenangkan kita.

Masih ingatkah dikala kita masih timur ? Kita akan dimarahi orang tua bila kita bermain-main dijalanan yang ramai. Saat itu kita mungkin protes, tetapi dengan itu akan menyelamatkan kita dari ditabrak atau menabrak sesuatu. Tuuul ?

Finally, aku juga ndak tau apa ini bisa disebut perkenalan atau tidak. Semoga Yang Mulia Pengunjung Blogku tidak menjadi malas membaca dengan introductionku ini. Salam.

]]> http://nightstories.wordpress.com/?p=6 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:34:59 +0000 nightstories http://nightstories.wordpress.com/?p=6 Jag har nyligen läst mycket Paulo Coelhos böcker. Dessa har väckt en hel tankar hos mig, speciellt som jag samtidigt har läst även annan litteratur från Freuds samlade verk till Andrew Taylors The Four last things. Frågan som böckerna väcker hos mig, igen, kanske även hos andra, är den med skillnaden mellan det onda och det goda och dårskap och icke-dårskap. Har vi någon självklar definition för dessa etiketter även om vi lever år 2008? Nej, det har vi inte. Hur kan till exempel rättssystemet säga att en viss person behöver psykiatrisk vård och den andra inte? Visst, de som klassas som psykopater med eventuellt tillhörande narcissistisk störning anses vara vid sina sinnes fulla bruk. Och som en som har träffat alla typer av personlighetsstörda kan jag hålla med. Men vad är det som vi kallar för det onda? Finns det onda människor? Det tror jag faktiskt inte även om ett antal filmer låter oss förstå att så är saken. Det onda är något som man relaterar till bibleln, djävulen och annat liknande. I själva verket kan det onda vara en medfödd avvikelse i människans neurologi och då finns det väl ingen anledning att blanda hela religionen i detta. Neurologiska avvikelser har visat sig spela en stor roll i beteendet men därmed ska vi inte glömma föräldrar som i sin tur ser till att den "avvikande" personligheten får så bra uppväxt som möjligt. DET kan göra skillnaden mellan massmördare och ekonomisk brottsling. Vart jag ville komma? Ingenstans mer än en gång till påpeka att världen inte alltid är den som den ser ut att vara....

Panda Riot are one of the fist acts to come out in favour of piracy. Even so, the idea that filesharing doesn't hurt sales, but actually encourages gaining currency. A recent study from the University of London in Canada concluded that people who fileshare frequently are likely to buy more more music than those who don't. Moreover, a further study, this time sponsored by the music industry, into Radiohead's experiment with In Rainbows found that despite Radiohead's pioneering a pay-what-you-please policy, the album became the mostly-widely pirated on the week of its release. Nevertheless, the album went on to be a huge success.

According to a report in the Financial Times, the researchers believe that:

“Rights-holders should be aware that these non-traditional venues are stubbornly entrenched, incredibly popular and will never go away,” said Eric Garland, co-author of the study.

I am glad that these other voices are coming through. Many fileshares use P2P networks like others use the radio. To search for things they might like. I always get annoyed with the way that filesharing is often reported. The industry claim that filesharing is costing it £xbn every year is just nonsense. Even if the anecdotal evidence of Panda Riot is wrong, even if the Canadian evidence is wrong and the industries own researchers are wrong, it doesn't mean that everybody who filesharers would automatically go out and spend that money on an expensive compact disc.

As previously noted here artists can make piracy pay, but only if they embrace it.

 So I have done some little research this morning on feminine energy and masculine energy.

Located in the left side of our brain is the masculine force. It is the part of us that is assertive, logical, analytical, doing, controlling, aggressive, striving, projecting, hard, organizing, rushing, thrusting, always pushing us to survive, and has its origin in our minds. 

The right side of the brain is feminine or that which is creative, delicate, intuitive, nurturing, receptive, tender, surrendering, synthesizing, integrating, soft, feeling, and the part of us that "knows" without explanation. Its roots reach deep into the heart. 

Its amazing how you can feel once you tap into that energy! How it can calm the ego in a matter of seconds. Sooth the heart from pain with a simple prayer, sweeten bitterness, soften and smooth a rough heart, slow down a fast thinking mind, open shut eyes to awareness. Well, just somethings I'm experiencing and wanted to share.

"Look not from the mind, but from the SOUL.

For the Life that is coming is already before us, waiting to open up the world. Just look more closely.Find the eyes to see.

-From the First Insight

A university professor went to visit a famous Zen master in Kyoto, in search of knowledge. While the monk served tea, the professor commented exercises, analyzed writings, interpreted stories and traditions, and deliberated on the ancient processes of meditation. He did everything to impress his host, in the hopes that he might be accepted as a disciple.

As he spoke, the monk continued to fill his cup, until it overflowed, and tea began to flow across the whole table.

- What are you doing? Can’t you see the cup is full, and that nothing more will fit in it?

- Your soul is like this cup - replied the master. - How can I teach you the true art of Zen Buddhism, if it is already filled with theories?

By Paulo Coelho

"Nobody is courageous all the time. The unknown is a constant challenge, and being afraid is part of the journey.

What to do? Talk to yourself. Talk alone. Talk to yourself even if others think you have gone crazy. As we talk, an inner force gives us the security to overcome the obstacles that need to be surmounted. We learn lessons from the defeats that we are bound to suffer. And we prepare ourselves for the many victories that will be part of our life.

And just between you and me, those who have this habit (and I’m one of them) know that they never talk alone: the guardian angel is there, listening and helping us to reflect.": Issue nº 178 - When angels talk

(Via Warrior of Light.)

There are a few stories that follow this wonderful introduction by Paulo Coelho. The context, somehow, is different -- I have caught on to the fear aspect; he speaks about conversations with and of Angels. The book, however, is a wonderful read.

In a way, I have always been fascinated by people who have an immortal sense of security. I don't envy them, neither am I afraid of them. They just fascinate me. Because after all, fear, eventually, is a tool more than anything else. And they seem lacking in it. Fear sends gentle and harsh electric pulses and wakes the lazy neurons. It keeps the faculties alive. Manages responses for future action.

Many have often spoken of the negativeness, that is fear. How it brings us down. How dark an emotion it is. And how, hope, a bright shining light, washes the darkness, that is fear. I see hope as a twitching-fingers-while-you-wait emotion. Hope is hopeless, in itself. Do you Believe in Hope?

Then there are the pedlars of live-for-today. I think it is a fine philosophy. In very absolute terms. Almost carefree, devoid of responsibility. But, someday, somewhere you will have to respond. How will you respond? Response is always post-action; always tomorrow.

Fear stimulates the response. Not the foundation to build storeys of excuses, but the knowledge of your response. The truth of it all. Fear stimulates the self-dialogue that Paulo Coelho talks about.

And I love his last paragraph. As long as I don't rationalise. It is romantic.

In my conversations with the self (and yes, R, you can now safely assume the madness you speak of; however, others agree [insert appropriate smiley for R]), I have always had a dialogue. The dialogue has largely been one-sided, yet it has been good, engaging and useful.

And I think:

Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh, but I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home

(Not mine, obviously; by Paul Simon, in The American Tune)

(Fra Paulo Coelhos bog "Veronika beslutter at dø")

As I sit here and read one of my favorite magazines Rolling Stone. On the cover is Sen. Barack Obama looking like the President he should be! 

 I am also patiently awaiting to see the issue of Rolling Stones with my favorite writer and friend Paulo Coelho (check out the photo shoot he did recently on his blog A sessão de fotos de Paulo Coelho para a revista Rolling Stone ). 

Well,  right now I am totally engulfed by the article in Rolling Stone on Amy Winehouse. In this article she opens here home and her life to journalist Claire Hoffman who writes the article. In this article Amy is talking about her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, drugs, and music. If you get a chance check out the article. Reading this I really see that Amy is just another young girl trying to find her way in this world that can be a maze thats can close in on you very fast if you don't slow down. It shows she has a warm side to her, bringing tea out to the paparazzi that stand around her house waiting to snap pictures of her when she walks out. She shows that she can be you and me. I am so amazed by this small woman with this amazing voice that supersedes her body frame, I pray that she doesn't let it all go down the drain. I'm not famous but I couldn't imagine what it would be like to go from being me (bright light Warrior Nika) :D to being Famous Bright Light Warrior Nika over night and trying to deal with fame, love, and shortcomming all at once. I'm sure self destruction can come into play, all in all we all have to walk our path. I truly would love  to see many more records put out by Amy and see her healthy and  singing to her fans.

The Brazilian author Paulo Coelho has enjoyed worldwide success for his books that speak of universal "soul truths" that every life encounters at one point or another. With fame (and possibly fortune) following him around the globe, one would think that he already has an army of global publishers, agents, marketing and PR staff, assistants, and whatever-else-have-you to do the nitty-gritty of reaching out to audiences and making them want more of Coelho's work in their lives.

But he apparently enjoys doing this kind of work himself (or at least being very hands-on in this regard). Aside from his official Website, Mr. Coelho also has a blog, an e-newsletter, and--get this--a pirate site where torrents of his books are made available to anyone who wishes to access his words. All for FREE. Done under his publishers' noses. And we're pretty sure he doesn't get paid for this.

Why on earth would someone just give his work away for free? Doesn't he want to cash in on his success?

But being the author and the man that I would have on my "Most Admired People in the Universe" list (if ever I did have such a list), Mr. Coelho evidently believes that there is more to his words and his work than whatever comforts it affords him. For him, writing and creating is a collaborative effort--a dialogue between him and his audience.

Read more about his thoughts on the Net, blogging, and pirating his own books--aside from his other experimental exploits HERE.

Der var engang en mægtig troldmand der ville styrte et kongerige i grus. Derfor hældte han en heksedrik i den brønd som alle indbyggerne hentede vand fra. Den der drak af vandet, ville blive gal.
Den næste morgen drak hele befolkningen af vandet, og alle undtagen kongen blev gale. Han havde sin egen private brønd for sig og sin familie, og den havde troldemanden ikke kunnet komme til. Kongen blev dybt bekymret og forsøgte at holde styr på sit folk ved at indføre en række foranstaltninger vedrørende den offentlige sikkerhed og sundhed. Men politiet og inspektørerne havde drukket af det forgiftede vand og fandt kongens beslutninger helt hen i vejret, så de nægtede at håndhæve dem.
Da indbyggerne i kongeriget hørte om dekreterne, var de overbeviste om at kongen var blevet sindssyg og nu sad og pønsede på et eller andet vanvittigt. De protesterede højlydt og gik mod slottet og krævede kongens afgang. Fortvivlet gjorder kongen sig klar til at frasige sig tronen, men dronningen stoppede ham og sagde: Nu går vi også til brønden og drikker af det samme vand. Så bliver vi ligesom dem.
Og det skete: Kongen og dronningen drak vanviddets vand og begyndte straks at sige meningsløse ting. Da fortrød hans undersåtter: Nu hvor kongen viste sig så vis, hvorfor skulle man så ikke lade ham regere landet?
Der faldt ro over land og by selv om indbyggerne opførte sig helt anderledes end i nabolandene, og kongen regerede til sine dages ende.

     'THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITY ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH IS COURAGE,' SAID GANDHI.

THE WORLD SEEMS THREATENING AND DANGEROUS TO COWARDS. THEY SEEK THE FALSE SECURITY OF A LIFE WITH NO MAJOR CHALLENGES AND ARM THEMSELVES TO THE TEETH IN ORDER TO DEFEND WHAT THEY THINK THEY POSSESS. COWARDS END UP MAKING THE BARS OF THEIR OWN PRISON.

THE WARRIOR OF LIGHT PROJECTS HIS THOUGHTS BEYOND THE HORIZON. HE KNOWS THAT IF HE DOES NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THE WORLD, NO ONE ELSE WILL.

SO HE FIGHTS THE GOOD FIGHT AND HE HELPS OTHERS, EVEN THOUGH HE DOES NOT QUITE UNDERSTAND WHY.

yesterday was my first day at Tat's new place. (akron, ohio)
one of the first things i did upon entering was use the guest bathroom.
i noticed a book she had in there titled: 'Warrior of the Light'
i let it randomly fall open to a page to just see what would pop up.
it landed on page 42 (of course) and the entry was thus:

a warrior of the light often loses heart.
he believes that nothing can stir in him the emotion he desires.
he is forced to spend many nights feeling that he is one of the vanquished,
and nothing seems able to restore his enthusiasm.
his friends say: "perhaps his fight is over."
the warrior feels pain and confusion when he hears such remarks because he knows
that he has not yet reached the place he wanted to reach.
but he is stubborn and refuses to relinquish his aims.
then, when he least expects it, a new door opens.

the last line lept off the page at me: 
"...then, when he least expects it, A NEW DOOR OPENS."
we've been going over somethings such as the number 42 and "door opening"
the day before i left i made a song titled: "Open The Door." i found some old recordings of Aleister Crowley reading the Enochian Calls (or Keys.) i used the 1st Call in this song. today i finished the song and posted it at The Aleister Christ Project: http://www.myspace.com/TheAleisterChristProject

the rest of this book looks amazing, so this will be my 'book of the month' post as well.

the book: 'Warrior of the Light' by Paulo Coelho.

Paulo Coelho

Zajímavé téma a rozhodně je zajímavě pojaté. Ukázalo mi prostituku naprosto z jiného pohledu, než na jaký jsem zvyklá, že je mi ukazován. Některé scény jsou popsané tak výborně, až se mi tajil dech a potili ruce. (Teď mi na mysli vytanulo Tolkienovo známé Ne každý, kdo bloudí, je ztracený, jelikož tady by se dalo krásně použít.)

Říká se, že pan Coelho je dobrý vypravěč. Nesouhlasím.
Příběh je příběhem skutečné ženy. Asi ne do detailů, ale na jeho základě byla kniha napsána.
Pan Coelho je vypravěč vynikající.

La vida y los sueños son hojas del mismo libro;
leerlo en orden es vivir,
hojearlo, es soñar.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Creo que más fuerte que la sabiduría, es la imaginación.
Que más potente que la historia, es el mito.
Que la esperanza siempre triunfa sobre la experiencia.
Que la única cura para el dolor, es la risa.
Que más poderosos que la realidad, son los sueños.

Robert L. Fulghum

Vive tratando de realizar muchas de las cosas que siempre has soñado y no te quedará tiempo para sentirte mal.

Richard Bach

Coraje no es la ausencia de temor, es considerar que algo es más importante que ese temor.

Ambrose Redmoon

Los grandes momentos de nuestra vida llegan cuando juntamos el coraje de convertir nuestras debilidades en lo mejor de nosotros mismos.

Hay dos cosas importantes en la vida: la primera, conseguir lo que quieres, y después, disfrutarlo.
Sólo los más capaces pueden alcanzar lo segundo.

Logan Pearsall Smith

Prefiero una locura que me entusiasme a una verdad que me agobie.

Christoph M. Wieland

SI hay algo de lo que me siento verdaderamente dueño, no es de mi vida, sino de mis sueños.

Luis Cané

Soñar todo lo que desees soñar. Esa es la belleza de la mente.
Hacer lo que desees hacer. Esa es la fuerza de la voluntad humana.
Probar tus límites con confianza. Ese es el coraje de alanzar la meta.

Bernard Edmonds

La esperanza es el sueño de un hombre despierto.

Diógenes Laertus

Hay personas que viven en un mundo de ensueños, otras que enfrentan la realidad, y hay otras que convierten lo uno en la otra.

Douglas H. Everett

Lo que nos distingue son nuestros sueños y lo que hacemos para que se realicen.

Joseph Epstein

Los problemas del mundo no pueden ser resueltos por los cínicos ni los escépticos, cuyos horizontes están limitados por las realidades evidentes. Necesitamos gente que pueda soñar cosas que nunca existieron.

John Keats

Quien mira hacia afuera, sueña.
Quien mira hacia adentro, despierta.

Carl Jung

Tuvieron la visión, un sueño fugaz, pero al final, un miedo sordo los detuvo.
Nunca comenzaron.
Algo les impidió liberar esa fuerza que todos llevamos en nuestro interior y que sólo puede salir cuando nos ponemos en movimiento y caminamos en línea recta hacia lo que anhelamos, lo que nos ilusiona.

Ray Dickinson

El ayer no es más que la memoria de hoy, y mañana es el sueño de hoy.

Khalil Gibrán

El impulso no puede detenerse: mientras haya vida, habrá sueños.

Miguel Castaño

Hay personas que guardan sus sueños en una caja pequeña y dicen que tienen ilusiones.
Luego guardan las cajas y, cada tanto, las abren para comprobar que siguen allí.
Son grandes planes pero nunca saldrán de sus cajas.
Hace falta mucho coraje para probar si somos tan buenos como nuestros sueños.

Erma Louise Bombeck

Un buen plan les da forma a las decisiones. Es por eso que un buen plan es esencial para convertir en realidad aquellos sueños que se nos escapan.

Lester Robert Bittel

Mucho más importante es el talento, la fuerza o los conocimientos es la capacidad de reírte de ti mismo y poder gozar mientras vas en pos de tus sueños.

Amy Grant

Cada vez que salgo a enfrentar el mundo me consumo el temor de equivocarme y fracasar. Actúo como si estuviera seguro y de a poco me siento seguro. Esta seguridad me ha ayudado a concretar mis ilusiones.

Arsenio Hall

Todo cambio atemoriza, aun aquellos que soñamos con realizar. No hay garantías, sólo la ilusión de alcanzar lo que deseamos. Todo paso es un salto al vacío pero también la posibilidad de realización.

Difícil. Esa es la palabra de la que a veces nos aferramos para no intentar lo posible.

Anónimo

El hierro se oxida por falta de uso, el agua pierde su pureza y se congela cuando hace frío. Del mismo modo, la falta de acción le quita vigor a la mente.

Pobre no es aquella persona cuyos sueños no se han realizado sino aquella persona que no sueña.

El auténtico soñador es el que sueña imposibles.
