I had never learned this profound positive thinking before. There should be no fear in faith and it should not feel heavy in the heart. Another deep personal message I received from reading this story was to reverse this. Being a God-fearing woman was NOT ok with me. I was never confirmed in a church but nonetheless, I still believe in A Creator, among other things. I mostly felt like an outsider because fearing people into something isn't the path to enlightenment for me. You are Christian and Luthern, even though we didn't have much to do with the Church or the community. I come from a background where my religion was picked for me when I was younger, as are most people. These are more the vibes I have come into contact with. Oh, you are feeling something? Here, take this pill and only call us if you have side effects. I had never heard about divining with stones -and trusting your intuition isn't something the cultures of America necessarily embrace. There were many topics presented here that I'd simply never been taught or even heard of before. If I were not at a mentally/spiritually mature place in my life, pretty sure this book would have gone right over my head because I did not care for this type of info in my heart earlier on. I'm not saying it was easy, but I had to admit to myself a lot of truths before this story would sit with me. Yes, these are the profound insights and messages I received from this story. Don't let other people steal your personal power that is yours. Do you see how we can instill other people's fears in us and let that subconsciously run our lives? (I will not be like *inserts name here*, when in fact it drives us to that very same place.) (Another key lesson in this story!) We need to let these thoughts go: I will be this way because it was the way I was raised. You do not have to be a certain religion because you were raised that way, you do not need to fear money or divorce because those were your parents' problems. If you didn't like this book, I encourage you to try to pick it up again when your heart is more open to new ideas and you are ready to start letting go of some of the views that were put into you by society, your parents, or whomever. This started me on such a bigger path, but I had to be in a place of openness and willingness to learn new concepts. My heart and soul would not have been ready for the mind-blowing reality that was about to unfold. 7 years ago, I would have hated this book.I would have been like- What messages? What digging deep? I would have perceived this one-dimensionalensional and woo-woo. This story made me realize many things that I needed to personally work on.Įveryone is at a different place in life- and the timing of reading The Alchemist in people's lives needs to line up. It is now something I consciously work on because it is one of the many lessons I acquired whilst reading this. Some people can take hints and incorporate things into their life without concrete direction, while others need a roadmap written out word for word, and also even more help along the way. In my opinion, you either love this book or hate it. If you already know it all, you will not take anything away from this book, it will have no benefit and you will not like it, more so than not, resulting in a bad rating. If you are new(ish) to spirituality, I doubt you will find things so cliché. I think it's great the author provides different versions of the same book so that people who learn in different ways have options. So if you like pictures, finding multiple perspectives, and deciphering your own spiritual interpretations, this graphic novel is for you. This is why Paul Coelho adapted this spiritual GRAPHIC NOVEL from his original wordy version of The Alchemist. Some people are visual learners and do best with no words, while others miss the message(s) if there are no words. Self-worth, determination, and sprinkles of enlightenment will be bestowed upon those who are ready to dig deep within themselves for the messages contained within. It did indeed, create a spiritual awakening within me. WAKE UP AND REMEMBER WHO THE EFF YOU ARE! My heart and soul needed this wisdom. I re-read this a couple of times a year, ever since I first picked it up in 2016. A read for when the soul needs RESToration.
