Anatomising the Sacred Journey in Paulo Coelho’s “The Alchemist” Ft. Abeera & Kanza | EP3

Описание: In this episode, we move beyond surface-level inspiration to explore The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho as a philosophical, psychological, and spiritual text.

Drawing on Jung’s concept of individuation, myth and archetype theory, and Sufi metaphysics, this podcast examines Santiago’s journey as an inner transformation rather than a literal quest for gold. We unpack ideas of Personal Legend, destiny, omens, and the language of the soul, questioning whether the novel promotes sacred self-realization or modern spiritual simplification.

This episode also critically engages with:
•⁠ ⁠Mythic structures and the hero’s journey
•⁠ ⁠The tension between fate and free will
•⁠ ⁠Jungian symbolism and the unconscious
•⁠ ⁠Parallels with Sufi thought (Ibn Arabi, Al-Ghazali, Rumi)
•⁠ ⁠Why The Alchemist continues to resonate in a modern, restless world

Whether you love the book or remain skeptical of its philosophy, this discussion invites you to read The Alchemist beyond motivation and into meaning.

🎧 Listen with an open mind—and question what “following your dream” truly entails.
