What are the motifs in Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho?

A double life is a reoccurring idea in the story. A Warrior, whether a traditional one or a Warrior of the Light, leads a double life—on hand, he lives as a normal person with family and friends, picnics and walks through the park, and even a normal job. On the other hand, when he is called to fight he has to leave his ordinary life behind to fight in a battle with which he may not agree, but that adds virtue and victory to his spiritual resume. The more victories a warrior has, the better Warrior he is and the longer he will be able to stay on his path. Much like a traditional Warrior, the Warrior of the Light needs to stay focused and ignore the demands of his family in order to persevere and attain his dream of victory.
