Theos-Talk Archives (November 2003 Message tt00109)

Hi Janet,
I know many of the works of Paulo Coelho, he was also a lyricist of a Brazilian pop singer Raul Seixas in the 70īs, but since the beginning he started writing books I had the feeling he was a mistifier, although he has soldmillions of his books, most of them are not authentic.
He used to say he could even produce winds but, due to his visible materialistic aproach, my view is that it would not be possible for him to manipulate any elementals such as silphs and other nature spirits.
He takes part in the Brazilian Literary Academy becuse of his huge selling.
For some his books may seem inspiring, for others may not.
I think there are many ways of introducing to an enlightenment path, even starting from an easy Shirley Mclaine book such as "My Lives" or Paulo Coelhoīs " The Alchemist." 
These books may work as a first contact with the occult, though.
For example, my first books on spiritualism was ranging from Allan Kardeckspiritism to Leadbeaterīs neo-Theosophy.
During the last 14 years I am researching for the theosophical study, underthe HPBīs books, authentic Masterīs teachings.
My views are only views, just that.

re:Subject: Theos-World two books everyone should read!!


Bonjour Members, 

If you're into spiritual and inspirational books read The Alchemist 
by Paulo Coelho
and The Butterfly by Jay Singh. These are two absolute musts for the 
seeker. I have read many books during the last few months (doing a 
little soul searching) and no two books touched me the way these two 
books did. Especially the story about the caterpillar that leaves 
the Silk Palace to find her food plant. I love this caterpillar! 
She's brave! She's tough! She's fearless! And most important she is 
in search of her true self. The Alchemist is nice too, but for an 
artist I think the caterpillar is more symbolic of the creative 
chrysalis we must all one day break out of, which we can only truly 
do when we are authentic. Read these books, please. And if you know 
anyone who is need of a little inspiration I could recommend no two 
greater books. Happy Holidays. 

Always an e-mail away, 
Janet!!
