Paulo Coelho and meditation
Found Paulo Coelho mentioning meditation in his manual of the warrior of light.
The warrior of light needs time to himself. And he uses that time for rest, contemplation and contact with the Soul of the World. Even in the midst of a battle, he manages to meditate.
Occasionally, the warrior sits down, relaxes and lets everything that is happening around him continue to happen. He looks at the World as a spectator, he does not try to add to it or take away from it, he merely surrenders unresistingly to the moment of life.
Little by little, everything that complicated begins to become simple. And the warrior is glad.
What is a warrior of light?
A warrior of light is someone capable of:
understanding the miracle of life
fighting to the last for something he believes in
