I Am

One of the objectives, the communion, was going very well, fruit of their efforts and dedication. Remained to continue the journey, meet new people needing help and change their lives. As the seer was teaching, everything was possible for those who believe in God, and nobody was a lost case, sufficing believe in his name, his father’s, and the darkness of knowledge would be lit by his great light.

Everything was heading for the realization of ideas. Going at a good speed, they are covering the physical stages one by one, passing relevant points. The difficulties caused by the narrow road and an eventual surprise on the way, is compensated by the faith and dedication to the cause by everyone. They deserved to be congratulated.

Exactly twenty minutes after departing from the historic village, they have reached the mountain of Ororubá, from where the cluster of the houses in Pesqueira, can be seen. Pesqueira beloved land, town of the lace, industry and grace, which blesses its children. Together with Arcoverde, where the son of God favourite homes, for it was there that everything has started.

Now, little remained to arrive at the headquarters and these last minutes are decisive in everyone’s life. They make small talk with the driver, before saying goodbye. Klebson Barbosa has already marked everyone’s lives, although is role is secondary. This happened because the son of God and his friends did not differentiate between people. As Yahweh, they were open to make friends and accept anyone.

It was thus, that in a mixture of harmony and complicity, they arrive at the centre of the municipal headquarters. Kindly, Kleberson Barbosa drops them at the door of the inn, they say goodbye, pay the fare and finally alight from the car.

Carrying their baggage, go in the place, form a queue at the reception and after registering, head to their rooms. At the Sunray Inn, they would rest the remainder of the afternoon and arrange to meet in the evening. This was extremely necessary for the fatigue was very noticeable in their bodies and fragile minds. Till the evening.

The afternoon passes quickly. At about 18H00, they awake almost at the same time and one by one they head to the dining room. With a few steps, they get there, get into the self-service queue, fill the plates and when they finish, look for a peaceful place to sit down and eat. As it was not busy, they find the perfect place at the second table on the right.

They start eating. In between spoonful, they interacted among themselves, increasing their empathy. However, there was still a long way to go.

After twenty-five minutes, they finish dinner and together head to the reception area. There, they play, watch TV, listen to music, tell jokes and make friends with the other guests. They spent about four hours doing it. Later, they say goodbye and head to their rooms to try to sleep. The next day, other surprises promised to appear. Continue to follow, readers.

Pesqueira

A new day breaks with great intensity. The sun rises, inundating the environment with its powerful rays. In contrast, a gentle and cool breeze blows, helping to awake and relax them.

However, there was no time to waste. The angels got up early and with the consent of the proprietor, went to call the other to have breakfast.

One by one, they are expelled from their rooms, get together and head to the dining room. The short distance is quickly covered and like in the previous evening, they help themselves. When they finish, go to eat peacefully, sitting around a nearby table, in that beautiful promising morning.

Everything seemed to be in an atmosphere of peace and war at the same time. Let me explain. Peace for having faithfully completed the schedule up to now and internal war for not having concrete definitions about the future of the next events. Apart from being anxious, they had a growing desire of controlling their destiny, what in most cases was not possible, causing frustration in them. However, nothing was taken as definitive.

The great virtue they possessed was optimism and it helped to face any situation, including arguments among them. One of them occurs at breakfast time, but Rafaela with her authority manages to control it. It was a silly argument between the women about the importance of each one. Just as well that at the end they made up.

It was in leaps and bounds that they finish breakfast. In a quick briefing, they chose a place to go to, return to their rooms, pack the bags, leave again, pay the stay, say goodbye and leave the establishment. The “I am” of each one, inside them, shouted to be heard and echoed in their minds.

From the centre, they head in an easterly direction with destination to one of the ends of the town. During the crossing on foot, they meet acquaintances, strangers and face the chaotic traffic when crossing the streets. Even so, they don’t get discouraged.

Gradually, they pass by important points, such the avenue going down to the bus station, the Franciscan convent and reach the Avenue of Recife, turn left towards the Pesqueira IFPE unit.

Now every step was decisive because they were approaching the destination. Walking for about two hundred metres they stop in front of an abandon house. At a signal, they all come close, pass through the entrance, access the external area and at this point the son of God speaks.

– My brothers, I am in front a symbol of my past. In 2002, I was passing through here and I heard a dark story from my friends, about this place, involving assassination, justice, spirituality and fear. The time has gone by, but even so I have not forgotten the story. My aim now is to get an explanation to what has happened— Finalized the seer.

As soon as he said that, everything seemed to change. Mysteriously, the gate closes behind them. Dark clouds partial cover the sun and the cries can be heard inside the house frightening the humans. Rafael them speaks:

– Calm down, Guardian! Pardon our friend for his curiosity. We promise to go away immediately and leave you in peace.

Making a signal, Rafael called Uriel and together they grabbed the humans and flew over the wall. In seconds, they were outside. They walk again in the opposite way and then the angel explains:

– It is not the time yet, son of God! You are not ready yet. (Rafael)

– I don’t understand. Why not? (the son of God)

– Do not ask us. That is best thing to do now – Intervened Uriel.

– Very well. (The son of God)

– What is the next step, Rafael? (Renato)

– Let’s continue the journey – He answered.

– Ok. (Renato)

– Let’s us be lucky! (Rafaela Ferreira)

– I wish, cat! (The seer)

– I am ready, Aldivan. Could you touch me? (Bernadete Sousa)

– I was waiting for it, my servant. (The seer)

Aldivan goes near his apostle. Affectionately, stretches his arm and this time touches the tip of her fingers. The smoothness of her skin makes him vibrate and have the vision of her future:

“Bernadete was having a cup of tea at home, reclined on a chair in the lounge. At fifty years of age, recalls the main events of her busy life: the upbringing from her parents, her growing up together with friends at the village of Mimoso, the passage the adolescence, the rape, the abortion and the promise from a young man that everything could change. Encouraged by his words, had accepted his invitation to travel through the world and had truly discovered a father and a son prepared to do anything for her. He demonstrated much love and as reward she dedicated herself to the neighbour at asylum nearby. Besides, she spreads her message to all who knew her. Through these deeds, she discovered the true happiness and was sure of her welcome in the kingdom of God, when she departed from the terrestrial life. She had found her inner “I am” and understood the father’s “I am” through his son called seer, divine, Aldivan Teixeira Torres, and exceptional guy beside other adjectives. The universe and the benign forces were conspiring to her success and it was only that, she wished from the one who changed her life. Blessed be he! Repeats internally. With a smile on her face, gets up from the chair and goes to do her domestic chores and take care of her cat Tobit, the sole companion in her home. And life would continue…”

The seer takes his hand away after the vision. Embraces again the apostle and with a signal he asks that her and her friends go with him. The silence reveals much more than if he had spoken and Bernadete understands it. Not everything could have an answer and the important was to commit herself to the present mission. Always forward!

The group, walking at a good speed, comes down from Prado neighbourhood towards the centre. Turn at the Avenue of Recife, go straight for a few hundred metres, turn another corner and follow the neighbourhood main avenue.

Remaining at the same rhythm, they cover the route to the bus station in fifteen minutes. In front of the single storey building they go forward a little and buy the tickets at the ticket office. After, they settle at the waiting room.

They waited for more than thirty minutes before the bus arrived. One by one, they get in and sit down on the empty seats. When all the passengers were inside the bus departs.

In the short trip, the only thing they do is to rest in face so many worries. They knew independently for what may happen, they were already to be congratulated by their commitment, dedication and enthusiasm to their causes. However, they wanted and dreamed of more.

In this way they arrived at their next stop in ten minutes: the town of Sanharó. Carrying their heavy suitcases, they climb down from the bus at the edges of the highway and walk on foot to the town centre.

With his knowledge of the town, the seer looks for an inn that could accommodate them all. They find it a few minutes later. Sanharó had changed little since the time he worked there for two months as administrative agent, at the municipality administrative headquarters. It had grown, it was noticeable, but it didn’t change the feeling of quiet and welcoming place.

Known as the town of cheese and milk, the name derived from a black bee, existing locally, meaning in indigenous language cross or excited. Data from 2014: Area: 256 km sq.; population: 24,556 inhabitants; IDH: 0.603.

They were, in front the small inn, a modest building, style chalet, with asphalt large entrance. Gathering the remaining courage, they enter the establishment, speak to the proprietor and settle the basics. After, they go to relax a little. In the afternoon, new emotions are awaiting them. Each one tries to enjoy the morning rest in their respective rooms, which were equipped with gadgets of the latest generation: Some sleep, other watch TV, others listen to music or read books. These rare moments in a tiresome and demanding journey were like a balm to their fatigued bodies.

Nearing lunch time they meet again and eat together. They take advantage to finalize the journey’s next details. At the end of thirty minutes, they decided to go out together. The seer’s objective was to introduce them to someone special too.

From the centre they head in a southern direction, from side to side in the streets of the small place, and two blocks after, arrive in front of a medium size masonry house, about 6x14, type house, with garden and swimming pool, walled in front. At the main gate, they knock a single time and immediately someone comes to attend them. It was a man about 50 years old, short, belly—potted, round body, brown eyes, black hair and white skin. With an expression of indignation, he speaks when he gets closer.

– What do you want, gentlemen?

– It is me, Osmar. Don’t you remember? I worked with you at the prefecture. (The son of God)

Osmar, looks Aldivan completely up and down, and at the end smiles. How to forget the dreamer who on the slack hours at work would write his book, because he didn’t have a computer? Numerous times I felt admiration for him, then a lad in the bygone times of the year 2007.

With a few steps, advances towards him and gives him a great hug. Aldivan did the same and both live the reencounter moment intensely. They were two sister and companion souls that have lost contact because of the circumstances of life.

At the end of the embrace, Osmar ruffles his shoulder long hair and starts to speak again:

– And these, are your friends?

– Yes. (Aldivan)

– Aldivan’s friends are my friends too. Please, come in. The house is yours. (Osmar)

– Thank you. (Rafael, in the name of the group)

Osmar enters the house again and the others follow him. They pass a small lounge, a passage and into the living room, furnished with rack shelves, sofa, chairs and table, leather carpet on the floor, pictures and other ornaments on the walls and Persian curtains at the entrance Everything well organized and in good taste.

Some sit down on the sofa and others on the chairs. Ringing a bell, he calls the maid who brings tea, juice, cold drinks, beer, wine. Fruit, cake and biscuits, for the visitors. Once having served the maid is relieved. Osmar and the others a have the chance start a conversation which promises to be decisive.

– To what do I have the honour of the visit to my home of the dreamer aspiring to be a writer?

– I don’t aspire anymore, Osmar. I face writing as work and entertainment, I cannot live without it anymore. (The seer)

– Excellent! I am happy for you! Are you passing by? (Osmar)

– We are on a trip to the seaside. Looking for new stories. (Rafael)

– You are also invited to participate —Said the seer in a firm voice.

– I don’t know…I am feeling very confused. (Stuttered Osmar)

– I know it. I can feel it. (The son of God)

– Have you got something to tell us? (Uriel)

Osmar stays quiet for a while. Could it be that he could trust people who he hardly knew? How could they help him? These and other pertinent questions were going around in his perturbed mind. In a sudden decision, he decides to risk it.

– Yes, I have got something to tell. But tell me something more about yourselves. What is your names, beautiful lasses? (Osmar)

–My name is Rafaela Ferreira. I am from Arcoverde and at present I am going through a severe phase of depression.

– I am Bernadete Sousa. I had an abortion soon after being raped. The son of God is helping me to go through these times.

– Pleasure. My name is Osmar Pontes. I am unemployed at the time, living off my savings during my working times.

– Pleasure too. (The two women simultaneously)

– Unemployed? Have you left the prefecture? (The son of God

– Yes. I had a few problems there, that forced me to leave. But I am well financially, don’t worry. When I reach the pension age, I will ask for my retirement. (Osmar)

– Just as well. (The son of God)

– And what are your names, young friends? (Osmar)

– I am Uriel Ikiriri, and I am Aldivan’s guardian angel.

– I am Rafael Potester, I am one of the seven spirits of God just like my brother Uriel.

– My name is Renato and I am the seer’s principal adventure companion. Together, we are part of the series of the same name, which has already four works.

– Incredible! I am speechless! Your friends are phenomenal. This series the seer is going to be much talked about. Could you tell me a little about your works, Aldivan? (Osmar)

– They are four romances, a nouvelle, a collection of tales, a book of wisdom, two sets of poetry and a screenplay based on the first romance. The four romances form the series the seer. The first title is “Opposing Forces”, it is the beginning of the saga. In short, I travelled to Mimoso in search of realizing my dreams on a mountain that promised being sacred. There, I met the guardian lady, a secular being and possessing many mysteries that help a secular being possessing mysteries that helped me to overcome the challenges and get permission to enter the cave. With determination and courage, I accomplished them all, went inside the cave, faced more obstacles, won again and became the seer, a being omniscient through his visions. After, I left the cave, met again the guardian lady and together with Renato we were sent to the old Mimoso with the aim to correct injustices, help someone to find himself and unite the “The opposing Forces” which were unbalanced. During, thirty days, we did a wonderful job and returned from Mimoso more experienced and victorious. We stopped for a while due to commitments. The second title, “The dark night of the soul” deals with the following: life makes us live dark days, and miseries that we wish were not real.

“The dark night of the soul” is the continuation of the “The seer”, I, being the main character, returned to a mountain searching for answers for a perturbed period of my life, times when I forgot God, my principles, losing myself in sin. In the Mountain, “The Seer”, I entered in contact with two “elevated beings”, leading me to knowledge. However, I was deeply linked to the seven cardinal sins and despite the acquired experience, my problems were not solved, then we had to make a trip to the “Lost Island”, headquarters of the kingdom of the angels.

The book is a passage full of dangers, pirates, a great adventure at sea, bringing reflections and questions, to which we asked if it was possible for a criminal to rehabilitate himself after immersing himself completely in the darkness, and, having done it, would he indeed find peace for his crimes? Could he forgive himself? Would he find happiness? Or was it just an illusion, a pause for a night even darker? It is worth to check it.

As for the third the romance, entitled “The encounter between two worlds”, it is a story that presents a flashback present—past. It is a great journey, involving once again, Me and Renato. It is divided in two parts situated in the past and the present respectively, trying to show the importance of the battle to for the concretization of our ideals, be what they may.

In part one, a journey to Fundão Site just outside of Cimbres—Pesqueira to try to find the responsible people for a rebellion in the past. Helped by him, we are trained until we master the co—vision, key to the story view. Once we were ready, we are submitted to it and we travel to the start of the XX century, in the northeast, times of oppression, injustices and prejudices and famine. All along, we observed the example of the warring population of that era, specially a group that take active part in the plot. However, could it be that we have absolute success in its objectives? Did we unmask the elites? Or did we fail? And is it possible to reach the so waited for meetings of so different worlds, in relation to social classes, opinions, stereotypes and love? It is worth finding out.

In part two, we went on a new journey with the aim to finish our work and attain the miracle we were looking for. This time, we went to Caraíbas looking for a second personality of the past and when we find him we are again submitted to a new training. Once ready, the part two of the story is revealed. In it, the reader will be facing the following questions: To what extent does the social question interfere with success? Is it viable to persist even after several failures? Is it worthwhile to deprive oneself from love because of prejudices, without even trying? Someone who has got a gift can consider himself special or is it madness? All this and much more we will find in the story of the Divine, someone in search destiny and of the success we all deserve. Finally, among the romances, “God’s code”, is the fourth. The story begins when Phillipe Andrews, an auditor of a farm marked by a tragedy, starts questioning the reason for his bad destiny, becoming angry and outraged. By a stroke of luck, he finds a book and an author, and decides to look for him. Finding him, with his adventures’ companion they decide to make a trip to a distant desert, where supposedly they would meet God and would solve their problems. They start the journey, find two guides on the way, who take them to the desired place, the desert of Cabrobó. Passing through ten towns in the desert, they make interesting small talk with the respective guests, and suddenly God begins to talk via the guides answering crucial questions. Everything that is revealed is going to help in the elaboration of “the testament”, a code given by God and never deciphered in human or angelic history. And so? Do you believe that God can reveal himself in extreme situations? Or is it only a delirium of all those involved? Read the “God’s code”, a book intended specially to those who have lost their faith in God and make your own conclusions.

Th wisdom book presents phrases of intense enlightenment from the father, with tales touching parables of moral base, about the kingdom of God and his wisdom. Those of poetry touch on love and the northeast outback. However, the nouvelle goes back to the primitive Christianism times, times of battles, oppression and persecution— Finalized the son of God.

– Cool. I will buy all of them! Later you can fill me in on the procedures. (Osmar)

– Ok. Thank you. (The son of God)

– And what about your problem? Are you ready to disclose it? (Rafael)

The direct question made our host go cold again. These friends were indeed daring. Despite it, he decides to show his hand, for now he had nobody to resort to. Let God’s will be!

– I am a deplorable man, friends. I fell deep into corporal and material corruption. I am not worthy of pity! (Osmar)

– Calm down, there must be a way, friend! (Renato)

– What is impossible on the eyes of men, it is possible to God. (Uriel)

– I also feel the same way. When my boyfriend left me, I felt the worst of the women. (Rafaela Ferreira)

– The greater the defeat, the greater the grace. (Rafael)

– I also thought that my case did not have remedy or pardon, when I did the abortion. However, little by little, I am getting to know a being called Aldivan Teixeira Torres and he can understand me completely. In him, I have got a father and brother. (Bernadete Sousa)

Osmar analyses all the statements from his friends. Could the seer be indeed the right person to trust his problem? Could it be that he would give him some hope despite him being a monster? He didn’t know this fraternal side of his when he had known, and because at the time felt desperate, it was worth trying.

– Who are you, seer? (Osmar)

– I am a profound connoisseur of the human soul and who at this moment wants you by his side. I promise dedication to your causes. (The seer)

– I don’t know… You would not accept me if you knew what…

The words could not come out Osmar’s mouth, such was the fear and mistrust at the time. Seeing his friend in trouble, the son of God speaks.

– If I knew that you defrauded the prefecture and had sexual preferences for underage people? I don’t mind. I only know that you are a sick man and needs urgent treatment. I offer the midst of my father to change your soul, from darkness to light. Because I didn’t come to call the righteous but the harden sinners, those yes, they need my help. (Aldivan)

Osmar gets emotional. How did he know? How could he understand? At no time in his life, had anybody come forward to comfort and support him, only hands and fingers pointing to fault and constantly judging him. Indeed, Aldivan was not a common being.

– Thank you. (Osmar)

– And so, Osmar? Are we travelling? (Rafael)

– Yes. You have convinced me. Wait a minute. (Osmar)

Osmar got up from the chair and goes to his room. There, he starts quickly packing his cases. Fifteen minutes later, he is ready, leaves the room, reunites with his friends, leave the running of the house to his employees, and finally goes with them. The world awaited his next actions.

Outside, after having walked a few metres, the seer speaks again.

– I suggest that you show us a little of your town. Ok?

– Excellent. Follow me— He said.

The group crosses the southern area and get again to the centre of town. At the time, they were fully concentrate and determined to have fun in that humble and quiet town. Under the guidance of the host, three blocks later and several crossings, they arrive at the town’s cultural house. By coincidence, this afternoon there was a public show. They go inside, a modest masonry building, narrow, in bad state of repair, but very beautiful at the exact place of the event.
