The Alchemist: The Signs are speaking to you

Have you experienced synchronicity or a "meaningful coincidence"? Synchronicities are a major theme in Paulo Coelho's book "the Alchemist" which we look at in this video.
Before he wrote the Alchemist, Paulo Coelho always dreamed of being a writer. After experiencing an astonishing synchronicity and meeting a man who would become his spiritual guide and mentor, he decided that he would write a symbolic book. A metaphor for his life. That book would become the Alchemist.
The alchemist is a fable for life’s journey, and the hard choices we must make when we choose to follow our dreams. It tells the story of a young Spanish shepherd named Santiago. He has a reoccurring dream about a hidden treasure buried near the Egyptian pyramids.
One of the major themes of the book is the idea that synchronicities are central to our lives. The Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, referred to “synchronicity” as a meaningful coincidence, where two events aren’t connected by cause and effect, but are connected by meaning.
In the Alchemist, synchronicity play a very important role in Santiago’s journey. This video is an examination of the synchronicities that appear in his journey and efforts to live his Personal Legend.
It culminates with the message that Paulo Coelho reminds us of throughout the story: "when you really and truly want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it."

I read the alchemist in high school and loved it and made a project on it. The book changed my perspective and I regret not reading the book every time I feel lost, disconnected, or scared in life. It is truly a blessing of a book. Don’t stare into the abyss but don’t fear the unknown. Resonate in the moment and be yourself. If you truly want something all of the universe conspires in helping you achieve it. Be daring and pursue.

I have been dealing with dark spirits for several years that won't leave me alone, and have yet to be able to find someone who can deal with them or heal whatever makes me vulnerable to them.

Synchronicity brought me to this video. Ive been stubborn about picking up this book or learning anything about it, due to its popularity. But, tonight, after a frustrating night of studies, I clicked on it. And the butterfly analogy floored me. As that part finished playing, I got a notification from a subreddit that reminded me why I went back to school in my 40s, to study a field that I know very little about. Im in the cocoon phase. Keep calm and transform. Thank you

[@jojojacques810]

I had a very serious nervous breakdown and it took me a couple of years to recover. During my recovery I studied tarot, metaphysics, history and religion as a way to support my recovery. I had always had a sense that my difficulties throughout my life were leading me to my destiny and this was never more clear to me than when I was at my very lowest. The disconnect from society brought me so much closer to the divine! I am now a spiritual coach and tarot diviner ……but I haven’t even begun to reach my full potential!! 😉

[@SamCorreia]

I'm experiencing the same thing, some times I feel that I lost everything bc I'm still recovering and the feeling that life is still happening and I'm doing nothing but learning a language that I stopped long ago, it's so overwhelming... I know I'm still so young and shouldn't compare myself to others but the only thing I hope is that learning this language is leading me to the best place I ever wanted.. (:

[@jojojacques810]

@@SamCorreia yes, it’s a very personal journey that takes time to integrate. Personally I think, self acceptance is key to that integration and I am definitely still processing that. What I mean by that is that, I accept that I will never be the old me and that’s ok because despite the loss, I have evolved in a way that could never have happened without the adversity. I am now in a very privileged position to use my experience to help others and that’s really meaningful for me. I do carry the scars of the loss of my old self, but I know how to care for myself and meet my own needs. I don’t wait to become ‘healed’, I simply accept my scars and embrace my vulnerabilities, a bit like Kintsugi! I hope that makes sense. I do think that immersing yourself in growth and learning will really help you, I think it will bring you closer to your true nature and souls purpose! Sending you love and light! 🙏💫

[@SupremePerspective]

My synchronicities, in order, grateful for anyone that reads! : Cardinal birds chirping at my first love, I thought it was the spirit of a lost relative, wanting me to leave… I found out months later that other feel that way too… My now closest friend, asked me some years ago what my numerology meant and added my birthday up like they do, it told me I was living the life of Power. We had just listened to a song called “Power” moments before… I had deeply explained what the lyrics meant to me… I pulled my first tarot card ever, I had never thought it had meaning. I received the card Power as my first pull ever. The man who gave me the reading said “love is the path to power” and that stuck with me. It was on this same trip to San Francisco that I had met my mentor, someone who gave me the breath of life to keep going.. I was on the Trail of Tears and made one too many jokes and feelings of having too much fun… bugs began to bother us and a black hawk came circling above our heads. It grew real quiet and I said it was time to go and that we were no longer welcome… we went to a few nights later and we kept making wrong turns and arguing. When finally on the right path, the same hawk flew next to our window in the middle of the night telling us not to go back there. One of the highest powers, to me it resembles the chief of the tribe. Chief Big Hawk… recently someone asked what I aligned with the most and I said eagle, which seems like the white man that I am. The often foolish but willing to learn. Willing… willing to have too much fun sometimes. I was on a drive through the country and saw 2 wooden statues of cardinal birds. I spoke of the significance that cardinal birds let alone, birds have. Almost instantly 2 real cardinal birds flew in between the wooden ones… I said out loud “wow we must be in sync! Or was that just coincidence?” And then the same 2 birds flew between the 2 wooden birds once again! I threw my hat in disbelief and smacked the dashboard, as I realized once again that I was up to something. One of my more recent synchronicities was to do with a girl I am in love with as of now. I have been asking myself if I should leave her to pursue my dreams across the world… “do I deserve more?” I wondered. I communicated my thoughts to her and all day today I saw many cardinal birds but none facing me and none chirping at her… I came home a few hours ago today feeling defeated, “is this the right path still?” After scrolling aimlessly for a while I stumbled across this video and I realized the title was of a book the girl I am in love with said i should read! This video literally describes the synchronicity of hawks and the idea of settling down with a woman or continuing to chase your dreams. Which is my biggest problem right now. This video in itself is a synchronicity. It put me right back on the path that i knew deep down I’d be back on. I’ve been saying lately when you fall of the chariot know you will ride once again, but that’s exactly what keeps you there. Not worrying about falling off… this video helped make not only my day but my life as well. Validating my life right when I needed it. I know that this may never be read and it’s not the best grammar. But the message is there and it always is. Thank you, so very much, for this 💜

Yesterday, I visited an ancient city pillar as if something led me to the place. And suddenly While I was stepping into the door a big beautiful butterfly fluttered to me made a slow circle flying in front of my face.

And now waking up late night only to happen to see your video saying butterflies are meaning of transformation. What a surprise synchronicity ?! Thank you very much.

[@MrHardbodies]

I just want to say thank you for this video. If you only knew the journey I am on. The unknown that is before me. This video was so random and how I came across this was as if the universe wanted me to find it. It gave me confidence that I chose wisely. I didn’t know any of this stuff you mentioned. I just had a feeling that if I chose uncertainty, this would help me live a life I’ve always dreamt of. Thank you. I know personally how hard it is to construct such an elegant video together.

[@mystikrebel1089]

I've always been aware of synchronistic events from childhood especially to do with the number 9 so I've always followed the 'signs' but even then you still get gobsmacked out of amazement when a synchronistic event happens. And this is how The Alchemist came to me in a strange way. I had ordered it on amazon around 2004 December. 2 weeks later I was cleaning all the clutter in my flat which had things leftover from friends who had come and gone but also previous tenants. Suddenly during the cleanup, I check my emails and Amazon had messaged me apologising about how long the book is taking to deliver as they are out of stock still but asked me if I still wanted to keep the order till they have more stock. I thought that's strange that it's a famous book and I'm sure they must have massive stock. So anyway I decided to cancel the order thinking I'll just pop into central London next and visit the book shops there and get a copy. So I get back to cleaning the kitchen area and boom ! under many letters in a vegetable rack, I find the Alchemist in a plastic bag staring right at me. I couldn't believe it but I knew this is how synchs work. I had no clue who had left it or ordered it as it was brand new but for me it was the universe's perfect timing and delivery service for free and maybe to put Jeff Bezos out of business lol I thought what amazing timing that I cancel it and 10 mins later I have it in my hands but then that's how the universe works. When I read the book it spoke to me exactly how it's explained in this amazing video and the other videos by Modern Intuitionist. Of course, more did happen in relation to the book like a few months later the stage play of The Alchemist was on in Convent Gdns which i attended naturally and other things that also followed but i don't want to bore anyone or people to think I made it all up. But this video nails it exactly how I experienced it myself. All I will say peeps, is keep your mind open and let the universe guide you.. Aum Shanti !

I apologize for spelling your name wrong Mystik Rebel

[@mystikrebel1089]

@@beb5407 To what ive learned so far is this number plays a very significant part especially in my life regardless if its good or bad but it always there and then leads me to a direction on the path that im still going on. So it does keep my focused .. Im sure if you look back you will see a similar pattern . As im also from a Hindu background so the number is supposed to have a very spiritual significance to it like for example they do mantras 108 times as it adds to 9 and many other of their spiritual practises often add up to 9. So its very embedded in ancient spirituality ive so far seen. But with me Im still trying to see where it takes me as its been there from the day I was born. Even my parents then were living at a house that was number 27 >9 so its on my birth certificate. My mum passed away on the 9th of 9 month being september when i was a teenager and we was living at 243 > 9 then. Im living presently at 54 > 9 and even the lampost outside is number 18 > 9 lol...So sometimes even i laugh when it turns up.. So like ive mentioned in the other comments ive been lucky to experience many synchronistic events including to do with the number 9. Of course you cant tell everyone because they would think you are crazy or making it up but you can to others who also expeirence it. Tell me what you have learned and experienced from the number

By far my favorite author Paulo Coelho. Have read nearly every book published in English. He says you put your desires, dreams or wants out there and the universe will conspire to work with you. Meaning put people or signs on your path to get you to that other person or place to get you to each point to reach that desire. You have to fully put yourself out there showing the universe this is what you want. He's such an inspiration. The pilgrimage has put a want inside of me to walk the 30 day pilgrimage from France to Spain. One day 2nd is Hemingway.

Yes the emerald rang a bell to me . I had a conversation about an emerald I'd give my client as i deal with Precious stones now ( me being a gemstone Jeweller from rubies & diamonds was a prophecy made many years ago by astrologer astrologer that wouldn't take a penny after looking at my chart ).

My whole life, so many. Along with my husband who just passed. Now I question everything too much. I need to get back to how I was. I have survived so many awful things and was ok with it all just to have real love at the end. I've started to doubt the signs and I have got to trust the greater and myself again.

[@ModernIntuitionist]

I am so very sorry for your loss, Amy. I am heartened by the fact that you have survived so many difficult things. You will survive this too, and there are many beautiful things for you still in the future. Take good care and best wishes.

[@amygreenberg3286]

@@ModernIntuitionist thank you. It’s hard and people keep saying you have survived so much pain, and I’m just like yeah It didn’t make this sting any less. Birth dad tried to kill me as a baby, step dad did so so much worse, then at 18 on my way to first day of work out of high school the city bus I was on in Seattle went off a 50 ft part of a bridge when I “crazy” man shot the driver. I died 2 times and had severe injuries. Had to be at 90 degree angle and in hospital bed even after release and guess who was in charge of bed pans and medications? Step dad. Months later I was able to pivot on one leg and go to a wheel chair. So I went out for first time in so so long. Called to say I may be late by a few mins since I wanted to thank the person willing to pick me up with a cup of coffee. Was yelled at and told Dont come home at all and my stuff will be in the lawn. I didn't have a curfew I was just changing my guess of when id be home. Boyfriends parents heard all of this and took me in that night. Though THIS IS IT I CAN BE OK AND HEAL. Can't forward to 7 years later. I was beat many times by my then husband, he had stole all of my settlement from the crash, told me the work would be better if I died in the crash. Had to drop out of massage school because I was too bruised for clinic practice. Then he knocked me down with my new born my first born in my arms. I went 8 years being told I couldn't have kids after the crash. She was my miracle. And I finally had the strength to run from him. My family doctor told me he was a clinical legit sociopath so no matter how much I loved him or gave him he wouldn't change. And I got fibro. I was done I couldn't stay awake and I didn't want my daughter to grow up worried about a broken mom. Wrote a goodbye letter for when she got older. Went to toe some lose ends and was planning on that night. Then I looked up and my old friend Justin was walking towards me. Neither should of been the they place but odd things Rice's us there and he came up to me. He had been chasing me for years, before my first husband but never ever ever would I date him he was a great guy bit I was broken. Etc etc but he knew my flame was hardly lit. He came over and wouldnt leave me alone!!! Over a month of him just being great and me pushing all good away. Then I had a minor heart attack, woke up the next day and I saw him, like 10 years of friendship but I had never looked at him. And all the past just clicked and it was so clear. I kissed him and felt like heavy chain feel off. And he was my soul mate. We found out we had met in dreams as kids. So much magic and love and he kept me alive after being told I would not make it. So to wake up and find him gone. Is cruel. I was ok and I would of gone through all that abuse again to have him. But now I'm bitter, trying not to be. But so lost. This life was Better for all with him in it. I dont know how I'm here and he's not Sorry I just started to write and all poured out....

[@JonathanChuMD]

In my mid twenties I really started to be drawn to spiritual books, with some of my favorite authors being David Deida, Napoleon Hill, Florence Scovel Shinn, and William Walker Atkinson, etc. However, for the longest time I never gave the Alchemist a chance because it was too mainstream haha, with Oprah and Julia Roberts promoting it - I assumed that it was shallow and superficial. However, your vid inspired me to get for my KIndle, and I really liked it a lot (so much so I may have to do a book club video on it sometime). I think that it serves as a great introduction to spiritual ideas, but like all great works of literature, it has multiple layers of meaning, and I think that even people who are really knowledgeable in spiritual concepts and ideas will find deeper meanings in the outwardly simple story. I think that Santiago's story is simple and archetypal enough that every man who reads it can find parallels to his own life... In many ways also I think that Santiago's journey depicts the ideal way for a man to go through life - he is an exemplary hero because he always musters the courage to follow his heart, which is a lot easier said than done. In many ways, I think this is a critical test in every man's life - being able to overcome the fears and the pressures of the world in order to listen to his own heart and embrace his own destiny.

[@ModernIntuitionist]

Wow, WOTSM by David Deida and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill were some of the first books I read in this area years ago as well. I'm glad you liked the Alchemist! I completely agree with you on Santiago's story being a simple and archetypal one about facing the critical test in each of our lives, which has many parallels for modern life. Beautifully said. In our evolutionary history, I think it was much riskier for our ancestors to try new things. Failure could be catastrophic. But today, often the worst outcome that happens from chasing our dreams is a bruised ego and a valuable lesson learned, which perhaps can applied to the next venture. Santiago could always go back to being a shepherd if things didn't work out. As the saying goes: "the master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried." Which suggests to me that "mastery" isn't necessarily having extraordinary talent or skill. It's simply having the courage to risk failure, again and again. It's how we grow, and I believe it's also how nature grows and evolves too. Thanks so much for sharing your very valuable comments Jonathan, I really appreciate you!

I love this book "The Alchemist". I fell in love with the story, the message, the writing style..the first time i read it........Everytime i read it, i discover some new meaning/insight!! May be because i am a Dreamer.....who knows 😆. I used to always keep two books with me while travelling and "The Alchemist" was one of those. However in the hustle & bustle of life, i kept it somewhere and then it was always - "I will read it tomorrow when i have time".....Today suddenly i came across this video...it seems to be a sign to read it again and a sign to start doing things that i used to truely love and enjoy....... ☺💜💛

This was absolutely incredible!! Sinse I was a very young boy 7 or 8 years old I started to notice synchronicity over a decade before I would first learn of the word and it’s meaning, around 19 years old I learned about it and I was floored to discover others were “having this strange experiences happening” then I was double shocked as to learn they named the experience but didn’t explain it because… they could not!!! I was so freaked out I have been on a quest ever sinse, I’m 31 now and I know it’s the Devine speaking to use, I believe consciousness is fundamental and we get signs through our interconnectedness via the conscious universe, my fire has not dimmed a bit in search to understand Truth/god ❤️

One of my first writings I Said that we are nothing more then imperfect rocks and that even though we may be shiny and beautiful someone may pick us up at some point and decide they don't want us leaving us turned over, no longer shiny we seem dirty and covered in dirt, but that some day someone will see that rock and decide its the perfect one for there collection and decide to take it home and clean it up, and cherish us for who we are.

[@fredhannum4015]

I have been searching for the answers to the 'coincidences' in my life, and my family's lives. Lately, I've felt that, a valuable item that I inherited 53 years ago, is a time travel device; because of the 'coincidences' that my family members have experienced. To begin with; the inherited item was presented to my Great Uncle (David Smith) he was a Captain for the White Star Steamship lines, in the 1920s through the 1930s. He shared the same last name as the Captain of the Titanic, with the same company. He was presented this, from the Head of State of Egypt in1923. He had a special ring setting made for it and wore it everyday for the rest of his life. His wife's sister Lucille, was in the silent film Cleopatra with Theda Barra in 1914. You see why I feel that time travel may be involved, due to it's effects BEFORE it came into our possession in 1923. I think that, If I traveled back in time, I would want to be at pivotal events in history, or to meet famous people. I personally have done both. My parents met at a famous location, my mother was a double for Marilyn Monroe (really). One day, for my job; I found myself in the bedroom that Marilyn Monroe died in, and was given an item that she may have touched, JUST BEFORE she died. I was friends with Wendy Jo Sperber, who played Marty Mcfly's sister in 'Back to the future ' and met and spoke to another actor in that film, who was also in the film 'Titanic' and one 4th of July, I was invited to watch fireworks with a very close friend, at his house. When I got there, the only other person there (besides the two couples expected) was a man who I recognized, as an actor, but could not place. It turned out, that he was also in the film Titanic, as the ships designer. My friend and roommate, from the mid 1970s, is the head makeup artist for James Cameron, who was the director of the film Titanic. The are many other 'coincidences' too many to recount here. But another thing from this story of 'The Alchemist'. The stone overturned, while looking for treasure, a few years ago, while literally looking for gold, I found, and kept, a stone from the riverbed I was looking for gold in. I knew that it was not gold, but granite, and for a stone about the size of my fist, it was VERY heavy.... I kept it because I thought it might be a native American 'hammer stone' but after bringing it home, I looked at the stone, and saw something, I'd never seen, before or since. While the stone is granite, I saw a number in the stone, in quartz, it was the number 2, I have been a rock collector, all my life. But I've never seen or heard of this before. While examining this stone, I found several 2s, and even a '3' which I believe is a doubled '2'.

Well finding this video was a synchronicity on top of synchronicity. You see Alchemy came to me in meditation. And I found an old video I ran across in my active addiction. So I re watched it. It was more historical and scientific, but it tied into Egypt and the pyramids, which is part of my journey currently and previously. That video answered a previously unasked question for me. This video has the pyramids in the story of the shepherd. This video answered an unasked question for me, the Allegory of the Alchemist. Answers to my unasked questions in my year one in the middle of my hero's journey I didn't accept I was on. Interesting. Very interesting indeed. Thanks for the great video. You plant many seeds to be watered by others to soon bear good fruit of the vine.

I honestly don’t think you can go wrong either way. The message is the same. I’m a tactile person, therefore I prefer the physical book and to take my time reading. But, if you have a credit, and the audio book is a credit, maybe that’s the universe’s way of telling you to get the audio. Good luck. ❤️
