"That’s a good luck omen,” the
Englishmen said, after the Arab had gone out. “If I could, I’d write a huge encyclopedia
about the words luck and coincidence.
It’s with those words that the universal language is written.”
“Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive…and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us. But in the crystal shop you probably realized that even the glasses were collaborating in your success.”
"If either of us had joined this caravan based only on personal courage, but without understanding that language, this journey would have been much more difficult.”
“There’s
no such thing as coincidence,” said the Englishman.
The closer one gets to realizing his Personal Legend, the more that Personal Legend becomes his true reason for being, thought the boy.
But he was excited as his intuitive understanding of the camel driver’s comment: maybe he was also learning the universal language that deals with the past and the present of all people. “Hunches,” his mother used to call them. The boy was beginning to understand that intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything, because it’s all written there.
“That’s the principle that governs all things,” he said. “In alchemy, it’s called the Soul of the World. When you want something with all your heart, that’s when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It’s always a positive force.”
