By Richard Bach
Original 12 months published: 1977
In the cloud-washed airspace among the cornfields of Illinois and blue infinity, a guy places his religion within the propeller of his biplane. For dissatisfied author and itinerant barnstormer Richard Bach, trust is as actual as an entire tank of fuel and sparks firing within the cylinders...until he meets Donald Shimoda--former mechanic and self-described messiah who could make wrenches fly and Richard's mind's eye soar....
In Illusions, the unforgettable follow-up to his exceptional bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach takes wing to find the ageless truths that provide our souls wings: that individuals don't desire airplanes to soar...that even the darkest clouds have which means after we elevate ourselves above them... and that messiahs are available within the unlikeliest places--like hay fields, one-traffic-light midwestern cities, and such a lot of all, deep inside of ourselves.

Example text
And then your fears: If you knew you were to be executed in a week's 3 4 T H E B L I N D SE E time it would wonderfully concentrate your mind to the exclusion of everything else. That is what fears do; they irresistibly rivet your atten tion on to some things to the exclusion of oth ers. You falsely think that your fears protect you, your beliefs have made you what you are and your attachments make your life exciting and secure. You fail to see that they are actually a screen between you and life's symphony.
You are inca pable of looking in other, more creative ways, for, having developed a habit for dealing with the world and with people, you can put your mind on automatic pilot and go to sleep. Fourth layer: your attachments and your fears. This layer is the easiest to see. Put a thick coating of attachment, of fear ( and therefore dislike) on to anything or anyone-in that very 4 7 THE WAY TO L o v E instant you cease to see that person or thing as it really is. Just recall some of the persons you dis like or fear or are attached to and you will see how true this is.
Trifle, yes, because if you live long enough a day will easily come when it will cease to matter. It will not even be remembered -your own experience will confirm this. Just as today you barely remember, are no longer the least bit affected by those tremendous trifles that so disturbed you in the past. And so the fourth truth brings you to the 3 9 T H E WAY TO L O V E unavoidable conclusion that no thing or person outside of you has the power to make you happy or unhappy. Whether you are aware of it or not it is you and only you who decides to be happy or unhappy, whether you will cling to your attachment or not in any given situation.
