Aleph- Paulo coelho

I think nothing can compare with the alchemist. It's the same with the Aleph. Aleph is a autobiography of sort of Paulo coelho's travels in 2006. He embarked on a "quest" to find his spirit, as he had felt stagnant in his spiritual growth. On his journey in Russia,Siberia, he met a young woman named Hilal who claimed that she was connected to Coelho based on a story he wrote about a friend keeping a fire burning for his friend. Through some mental invocation, coelho found out that Hilal was a woman who had loved him 500 years ago and who had died because he did not have the courage to stand up for her. Now all he wanted was her forgiveness. It seems all that we do, did, and will do are interconnected. This book will appeal to you depending on what your beliefs are. Although the idea of reincarnation is exciting, how real is it ?
