Following the orders of his King, knight Henrique sets out to ruin many lives and conquer riches, wielding lies and violence to achieve his aims.

READER REVIEWS

SOUL STIMULI
"The pleasure of reading BE is the pleasure that comes from giving constant stimuli to your soul. Reading it is like travelling to our inside - God's world. It is like a curtain opening as we turn each page, illuminating our search for understanding, thinking and transformation. BE is a passport for philosophical reflections that will carry us to our own self knowledge and allow us to approach our inside God, making individual conquests easy and bringing self-awareness and a glorious journey.
My sincere thanks to this BE - Alfredo Karras - who philosophying with a so great determination, sacrifices and tears came to ratify my long-crystallized thought, which is that the value of your life can only be measured by what you are worth to other people."

IMPORTANT LESSON
"Be makes us reflect on our acts and motivates us to evolve spiritually. The book is an important lesson about love and how we can make ourselves better than we are [in life], where there is a conflicting search for what is right and what is wrong. How many times have we been cruel and afterwards redeemed ourselves? Even if we didn't commit the barbarities that Henrique committed [in the book] then later regretted, becoming a light's spirit, fighting for Peace's sustenance. The great message of this book is 'Be', not 'have'."
- Bárbara Farias

ABOUT THE BOOK:

THE PRINTED BOOK AND THE VIRTUAL BOOK
By Ricardo de Mattos
Digestivo Cultural
26 August 2004

The work is a direct descendent from the famous Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, by Richard Bach. Cubatão's disciple goes beyond the master by subsituting people for that lot of seagulls lost in metaphors and aeronautic's acrobatics expressions, deserving more of being shot than admiration. Karras's book unites idealism with appreciation of current philosophies - e.g., rationalism, determinism - and discloses a strong spiritist influence.
