This abstract was translated from FERNÃO CAPELO GAIVOTA
 
FERNÃO CAPELO GAIVOTA Do you have some idea r how many lives we had to pass to have the first intuition that there is in the life something more than to eat or to fight, or to have an important position inside of the decree? A thousand lives, Fernão, ten thousand: It is later more a hundred lives until we begin to learn that there is a thing call perfection and still other a hundred for we convince ourselves that our objective in the life is to find that perfection and you take it to the end. The same rule stays here for the ones that they are now, it is clear: we will choose our next world through that that we learned in this, not to learn anything it means that the next world will be the same to this, with the same limitations and lead weights to expire. The gulls that despise the perfection for love to the movement don't arrive the part slowly some. The ones that ignore the movement for love to the perfection they arrive to whole part, instantly. Remember, Fernão, the paradise is not a place nor a time, because place and time don't mean anything, the paradise is... The trick was in knowing that its true nature lived as perfect as a not written number, everywhere and at the same time, through the space and of the time. Forget the faith - he told it repeatedly Chiang - You don't need faith to fly, he/she needed yes, to understand what was to fly. That is the same thing. Try again... Sees far away the gull that flies higher " - Well, since we are not part of the group we don't have to submit to the law... He spoke about very simple things, that the gulls are entitled the of flying, that the freedom is own of its nature, that all that that is opposed to that freedom should be put of part, that the opposition is motivated by ritual, superstition or limitation in any way. - For of part? - Did hee scream a voice among the crowd - Same if it goes to the law of the decree? - The law that drives the freedom is only true - Fernão said - there is not another.
Why will be - was Fernão interrogated - what the thing most difficult of the world it is to convince a bird that is free and that can prove it to itself own if he/she is devoted to train a little? Why will so difficult be? - He doesn't understand with you he gets to love a handful of birds that has just tried to kill it. - Oh! Chico! It is not that that you love! You don't love the hate and the hell, it is clear! You have to workout to see the true gull, what has of good in each one of them and you help them to see that in them own. For me the love is that. When you get to understand and that in practice, until it will find entertaining. - You no longer needs me. He/she needs to continue discovering little by little, everyday, true and limitless Francisco Gaivota. It is him its best instructor. You need to understand it and you train it. - Poor Chico! Don't believe in the one that its eyes tell it. Everything that you/they show is limitation. Look at the understanding, discover the one that you already know and will see as flying. It is auspiciously it tried to show severe with its students, Francisco Gaivota saw them suddenly as they were really, for one moment, and, more than it liked, he loved what saw. There " are not limits, Fernão "? He think, and smile. Its race for the learning has just begun.
