Reasearch Q/Brainstorming

How does Santiago and Alice's perception of reality form from their beliefs? What do you truly want and why is it you want that?';/ It only takes a moment to see as one's future shifts through changes. I may compare the two books together and reflect on the characters perception of what they see as their conscious reality. Weather brainstorm, Concept of life,self-reflections,journeys through time and existence,souls of the world, insights, omens, flower of life, merkaba vehicles, seeking,space-time-energy, burning with the fire of purpose, shift in identity,intuition, context and content, prophecy and possibility, Heart of the world the kogi tribe, tree of life... extra brainstorming for the sake of my enjoyment, but all is well for i have a new idea to ponder upon.
