I have read this book 2 years ago and did not understand it much but I reread it and I cried at the end. When the alchemist said "If I had told you, you would'nt have seen the pyramids.They're beautiful, aren't they?" I Was so touched when he said that and when Santiago said " So I love you because the entire universe conspires to help me find you"😊I will forever keep this in my heart
When an omen comes my way, I dont disregard it, instead I tune in to whats happening in my current life situation. I read this book well over 5 years ago, and after watching this video I realized just how ingrained it became in my subconscious. I had no idea until this refresher. Thanks for creating this vid!
I just finished reading this book to my 6 and 7 year olds. I think it has important values. We did a few pages a day and I asked them question and quizzed them about it everyday to make sure they were paying attention and engaged. Another book similar to this and might be my favorite book is The Little Prince
Love to hear that. i am actually going to Egypt next month largely because of this book. So I'll go find my personal treasure there. I also love the Little Prince, good rec
I so needed to hear this!! Im here crying with happiness. Commitment is what I’ve been lacking. I feel so I’m powered now. Your voice is so powerful in a unique way. ❤️
I truly feel our children should be taught this right out of the box,,,, meditation and being still and for them to learn to go within…..learn the balance of themselves….teach them to listen to their intuitive side within, & outside clues from our earth & from the ethers…..we need them to know they are one with all things created,,,and so I Am❤
Just finished the book today and clicked on this video to see what other's learned from it. After you read the first quote about the signs, my phone just slipped through my hands straight in the toilet. First minute I was upset and frustrated, but then suddenly I started to feel calmness and that turned into a laugh. "Is this a sign I should follow?" I asked myself. I mean this incident could mean nothing but it's not something I want to ignore, especially after reading this book. Thanks for the video! 🙌
Wow... I read this book as I was about to quit something I have been doing professionally for 4/5 years now and I sensed that It was miraculously talking to me; it was a vague feeling. Guess what? Your comments made me understand it. THANk YOU BROH
Just finished the alchemist 12/11/24 I love how the way someones personal legend perceives something indicates a mirror of their brain and how they feel and want... so the book explaining the language of the world / soul speaks in many ways because life is energy and energy cannot die
@@Treasuresofmind ayyy thanks for writing this. I also finished the alchemist this week. But was my third time going through it this year. I’ve been relentless about that book in 2024
Just finished reading The Alchemist for the first time and it lived up to the great reviews from so many respected people. I really enjoyed your summary of the key takeaways through quotes and thought the animation you created was fantastic. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
The tribesman who was searching the alchemist’s belongings found a small crystal flask filled with a liquid, and a yellow glass egg that was slightly larger than a chicken’s egg. “What are these things?” he asked. “That’s the Philosopher’s Stone and the Elixir of Life. It’s the Master Work of the alchemists. Whoever swallows that elixir will never be sick again, and a fragment from that stone turns any metal into gold.” The Arabs laughed at him, and the alchemist laughed along. They thought his answer was amusing, and they allowed the boy and the alchemist to proceed with all of their belongings. “Are you crazy?” the boy asked the alchemist, when they had moved on. “What did you do that for?” “To show you one of life’s simple lessons,” the alchemist answered. “When you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed.”
@@surreal_30 I'll make them as I can. Usually do one book video every video or two. What kind of books do you like that you'd like to see get this treatment?
One can never achieve more than what his life is destined for nor can he achieve earlier than when it is destined for. But still we as humans are required to continually perform our duties. Duties towards parents,family, nature and society. Every human should continually try to learn, improve and practice mindfulness and be aware appreciate everything of the present moment. For there is nothing left in thinking about the past - And there is nothing that can be achieved by worrying about the future. Anything and everything that you seek, want and can do lies in the present. Your entire life is in the present. - Bhagwad Geeta ( book/audiobook can be found in English)
One of my favorite books.❤️ As a non English speaker, I had hard time to understand what you were saying. I would appreciate it more if the pronunciation was clear.
I've been struggling witj epilepsy for more than 10 years 😮 after watching this vid, I supposed I'm being tested by the universe. Because I'm limited to lots matter such as driving, walking alone etc. I'm still pushing thru & living on with my medication & other medical means of treatment. Perhaps one day there will be a complete cure for epilepsy? Or my physical as well as mental health are strong enough to break thru this chain to regain normal life again 🤔 one thing I know is that I'm not giving up ❤
All that we can do is accept the situation that we find ourselves in. The universe has prescribed this for you, find the lessons. Do you know about Stoic philosophy? Could be helpful for your situation
One of the less inspirational, but memorable quotes to me, was: "If something happens once, it most certainly won't happen again. But if something happens twice, it is sure to happen a third time."
I dont know why but this is the most memorable quotes for me as well, the only one i know off the top of my head even though i read the book a few years ago
That’s a big question. I believe he is referring to what the Stoics would call the logos, or religions would call God. The creator of all. The Greeks would call it Clotto (or something similar)
1:55 so I can never find true love and accomplish my mission? This makes me sad...but if I can never find the one, so be it Edit: what's the song at 1:55
That's not what it's saying. In the book the character is debating staying in the desert to be with his love. But realizes that he has to go and accomplish his mission because if he abandons it, he will regret it forever. He goes and gets the work done and then plans to return to his love. It's simply saying you can't abandon the mission for love. You need to complete the mission but you can also have true love
@@JeffreyMarr oh yes now I remember...it's been a long time since I read the alchemist, that's partly why I clicked on this video. Great work I'm going to write these on my wall and read it every night before I go to sleep
I took it to mean the mission has to take priority. Maybe even you will find you true love (or loves) along the way. And you may in fact circle back around to one
Yeah great book ! You learn a lot from alchemist,no matter how hard things gets you should never quit working towards it. Secondly I love the language of silence here with nature and animals.
hi. I'm your fan from China. I think it's a good vedio to help me to read the alchemist. by the way, what's the background music of this vedio? thanks.
We have to take full advantage when luck is in our favour and do as much as we can do to help it as it is doing to help us ---Principals favourability or beginners luck
@@JeffreyMarr It is often the case that even those close to us will doubt us. Maybe because they only know us as someone they knew many years ago. They have no idea how we may have grown beyond the framework of our earlier selves.
@@rr7firefly in time that changes my friend. As someone who went on that journey a while ago, when it’s completed and you come back, they recognize the new you. Then the new you says some strange things as you begin it again and it restarts. But with time as things unfold, they adapt to that as well
My husband found out about all this and decided randomly that this was his calling and now wants to leave my daughter and I. You know, I think it's more important to not cause even more generational trauma than to just leave you're family behind but that's just me. The whole point of healing the world is by ending the trauma. Why would you absolutely destroy a family and cause more trauma thinking that'll fix everything when everyone else around you is already trying to make this world a better place
His choices are his own. This book has a beautiful message. Unfortunate that he left but maybe it will open up a new opportunity for you. It’s why we should chase our personal legend when we’re young and without responsibility. When we have responsibility we cannot abandon that
I swear that I, in action, without consistency, have proven that the universe conspires to toward the energy in action. My blip of life has only rippled out when form has followed function; whitnessing that "something" bigger than me bent events in my people's favor. Ask, I have empirical proof.
