that are given by his master and The Valkyries well. He has to complete all of the requirements needed to see his guardian angel.
“What is all this?” Chris suddenly shouted. “Why such dramatics, why so much ritual, why all of this just to see an angel? Isnt it enough to speak
with the angel? Why dont you do as everyone else does: simplify the way we make contact with God and with what is sacred in this world?” There
was no response. Paulo felt that Chris was ruining everything. 145
Paulo’s achievement motivation can be seen through his effort to accomplish difficult tasks, to please his master J, to do something better than other magus, and
to master all of the challenging tasks. It can be concluded that Paulo has a high achievement motivation. He works very hard, spending all his time to accomplish his
goal and also makes a better improvement in doing some rituals and respects all of the rules of the Tradition.
4.2.3 Paulo’s Affiliation Motivation
Affiliation Motivation, David C. McClelland 346-347 states “whether or not it is exactly what people seek in interacting with others, certainly depriving
individuals of the opportunity for interaction arouses in them that has been called the need for affiliation or the need to be with people”. As what Beck 354 says
that the term affiliations refer to motivation of someone in associating with others, whether they like the people or not.
According to Murray’s Need, affiliation is: To draw near and enjoyable cooperate or reciprocate with an allied other
another who resembles the subject or who likes the subject. To please and win affection of a cathected object. To adhere and remain loyal to a
friend McClelland: 46.

Human is social creature. Everyone needs others’ help; he or she cannot live by her or himself. Everyone has to cooperate with others to achieve the goal
in the life. In this case, Paulo is a magus who believes in God and angels. He does a kind or spiritual journey to seek his guardian angel. He has a kind of affiliation
motivation. Since he believes that his guardian angel can protect and guide him during his life in this world, he wants to see and speak his guardian angel. Paulo
wants to get closer and closer to his guardian angel. When he can see and speak to his guardian angel, he wants to thanks to his guardian angel for the protection and
the guidance he gets. Paulo has some problems in his life. When he has the opportunity to see and speak to his guardian angel, he is going to ask his guardian
angel for help. It can be seen in the quotation below. Paulo has done everything well. One day, he remembers his master who gives him the strange task. He has
broken the pact and accepted forgiveness as the requirements to see and speak to his guardian angel.
That man, Paulo imagined, will tell me that I did enough. That I broke a pact that needed to be broken, that I accepted forgiveness that I should
have accepted long ago. Yes, that man will continue to teach me about the path to wisdom and love, and I will get closer and closer to my angel. Ill
speak with my angel every day, giving thanks for protection and asking for help. And that man will tell me that it is sufficient. 169
His heart was content. He would wait for the sun to rise, and look for a long time at the face of his angel. Later, he would tell Chris of his bet. And
tell her that seeing ones angel was even easier than speaking with him One had only to believe that angels exist, only to need the angels. And
they would show themselves, as brilliant as the rays of morning. And they would help, performing their task of protection and guidance, so that each
generation would speak to the next of their presence–so that they would never be forgotten. 196
Since Paulo is a Christian, he believes that there is a Paradise. After he is dead, he wants to be accepted to stay in the Paradise. Paradise is a place that is
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
prepared by God as the guarantee for the spirits of kind people. One day during his spiritual search in the desert, Valhalla hold a kind of sermon in the Plaza. She
speaks about the angels to the audiences. Valhalla is trying to remind the other people to remember that there are angels and Paradise. Paulo know that angels are
God’s messenger who can lead him to take the best path to achieve the Paradise. He wants to see and speak to his guardian angel, so that his guardian angel can
lead him to the best path. “Lets suppose that paradise is there. And every person on earth is here in
the plaza. Each of them has their own path for arriving there. “Thats why people talk with their angels. Because only the angels know
the best path. It does no good to seek advice about it from others.” 121- 122
“Well, why is she trying to convince others?” “No, no, shes not trying to convince them of anything. We all came from
Paradise, we have spread throughout the world, and now were returning there. Valhalla is asking these people to pay the price of that return.”
Chris remembered the afternoon in the mine. “Sometimes its a very high price.”
“It may be. But there are people who are willing to pay it. They know that what Valhalla is saying is true, because it brings back something they had
forgotten. All of them still carry in their soul memories and visions of Paradise. Years may go by without their remembering–until something
happens: the birth of a child, a serious loss, a feeling of imminent danger, a sunset, a book, a song…or a group of women dressed in leather, speaking
of God. Anything. Suddenly, these people remember. “Thats what Valhalla is doing. Reminding them that a place exists. Some
of them are listening, others arent–those who arent will pass by the gates without seeing that theyre open.” 123
But a new world was beginning. The angels knew where the gates to Paradise were, and they would conduct all who believed in them to those
gates. Perhaps they neednt even believe–it was enough that they needed
angels, and the angels would return gladly. 132 Paulo’s affiliation motivation can be seen by his effort to seek his guardian
angel seriously. He wants to get closer and closer to his guardian angel, he wants
PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
to thank for the protection and guidance that given by his guardian angel. He wants to cooperate with his guardian angel to lead him in choosing the best path
to Paradise.
