You can buy The Zahir by clicking the link below: His words inspired me to dig deeper into myself and find new ways to move forward, and for that, I cannot be grateful enough. Paulo once again filled my soul with enlightening lessons, this time it was through a story about surrendering ourselves so love and life can flow freely through us. The only way for him to release his Zahir and allow love back in was to learn how to release his old story and fill it with new and invigorating experiences. In his journey, he was forced to step outside of the world he grew accustomed to and into her world and everything she cared deeply about. Was she kidnapped, murdered, or did she simply escape a marriage that no longer fulfilled her? He needed to know why she left, where he went wrong to lose her, and how to transform himself to allow a space for her to come back into his life. As he lived further and further from sight of this virtue, his wife disappeared, and for two years she became his obsession, or, his ‘Zahir’. The Zahir is a story of a married man who lost the virtue of love. The narrator is a famous (spiritual) writer living in Paris and enjoying the privileges of wealth and success ( for that reason it was easy to imagine it being Paulo’s autobiography). The Zahir is a fiction story, which feels way more like nonfiction. I developed (this practice) of releasing my story, AND finally found my mantra while reading ‘The Zahir’ by Paulo Coehlo.
