The Alchemist

The Alchemist, by Paulo Chelho - a really good book.  Someone's probably already posted about this because it's a popular book, but I thought I'd just add a note about it.  It's chock full o' Gnostic philosopy and wisdom.  I really liked it.

I love it too :-)
But it's one of these books - if you get it, you do, if you don't you don't and nothing anyone can say can change anything :-D

I believe we are given the books we read and get inspired by by God, because that message is important for us at that moment

I love the story of the boy on the search for his Personal Legend, which I took to mean his Akashik record or whatever was to happen to him in his life.  I also liked the descriptions of the far away lands.

Pardoning vs Accepting
Published

Paulo CoelhoA Warrior of Light always keeps his heart clean of the sentiment of hate. To do so, he needs to pardon.When he walks to a fight, he never forgets Christ’s words: “love your enemies.”
And the warrior obeys, but always remembers that Christ did not say: “like your enemies.”The act of pardoning does not oblige him to accept everything. A warrior must not lower his head, otherwise he loses sight of the horizon of his dreams.
