Your reading assignment. Warning: You may learn to fly.
Posted February 6th, 2008 by jahschwa

I have two books to recommend.
They don't seem very "revolutionary" on the surface, but I think they may be the most "important" books you could read right now. Possibly more important than reading Dr. Paul's new book. Their message is really that "important".
I'm sure you can find them both collecting dust at your local library.
Both are short and can be consumed in under an hour each.
Both are by a guy named Richard Bach.
Read if you will:
Jonathan Livingston Seagull
and,
Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
Reading these books just may teach you a little about "flying".
Love,
jahschwa

Warning: Reading these books may teach you to fly. If you are afraid of flying, you may want to read these books with a friend.

Captain's last message to his crew.
The ship looks good.
In fact, it looks great.
Many of you are learning so many new things right now.
We all are.
Just remember Love and everything will be alright.
Take care of those you call you own, and keep good company.

I will get to reading. I am just between books right now and I remember my step-mother owning a copy of JLS.
May I recommend The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge by Carlos Castaneda. Taught me a little about flying. :)

You are all free to leave this ship, go find another ship, build a new ship, stop believing in ships, reimagine ships, think about all sorts of other nifty things other than ships, etc...
I don't want any of you silly heads getting the idea that I'm even very good at this stuff.
Me, Richard, all the rest of us, we are all just playing.
We are working it out.
It's getting better all the time.
I'm not telling anyone else what to do, how to think, or how to be.
I'm just inviting them to Imagine.

this is the one book that has always followed me
I don't even think I could explain to anyone what I like about it. It changed my life as most books do, but this is something I don't even understand completely. I think everyone needs a little Jonathan I find mine always. Ron Paul 2008
A very wise teacher of mine
A very wise teacher of mine once told me that understanding is second place. Getting it is first prize.
You can understand how a car works, but until you go driving down the road, you just don't get it.
Funny thing, you can understand without getting it, and you can get it without understanding it.
Just Plain Weird!
Okay, I'm laying in bed this morning talking with my wife, and I said... "You know we should cut off the TV and read together". (Ya know, I'm just really fed up with the MSM and their "entertainment). She said that she liked that idea. She asked me what book we should start with, and literally out of no where it just came out of my mouth...JLS! I mentioned to her that it was a good book that I had read as a child. Frankly, I don't remember the book all that well, but it obviously made an impression on me...that has stuck with me to this day.
How weird that I should stumble on this post today? Sorry for my "story" but I just had to share the irony.

I would like to suggest 2 other books found at the library...

I just finished : Jonathan
I just finished : Jonathan Livingston Seagull. Interesting at the 20th anniversary edition epilog Richard Bach said: "Some said they saw Jesus/buddha/Mohammed/Moses thinly veiled on the pages, and knew the story was written in gentle code so that the beauty of their faith could find a wider following. I listened to them and didn't know whether to be touched or *frightened*."
It is a little big. Yes?
It is a little big.
Yes?
A message that "seems to transcend many messages".
Speak to people in many different voices.
In a very personal voice.
It's almost like it reminds you of what you already know.
"thinly veiled on the pages, and knew the story was written in gentle code so that the beauty of their faith could find a wider following."
Yeah, but in the end it's thinly veiled learning to fly.
What aerial tricks the reader wants to do with their new found skills are really up to them.
The beauty I find in JLS is that so many different people find their own beauty when they read it, regardless of how they got there.
Regardless of "where they come from".
It's all about finding beauty, and reaching for perfection, no matter what your beliefs.
It's about learning to fly.
New book for you
New book for you all.

Nice excerpt:

I will have to find and dust off my copy.
Smile.
It's going to be OK.
We are good at this, and as every other option is exhausted, we get our ships ready to fly. When all else has been tried, they will turn to us, and we will make LOVE not war.
Now carry on and get a good nights sleep.
Peace.

ATTENTION:
"DONT GIVE UP THE SHIP" ~ Captain James Lawrence
There seems to be some sort of general unrest and talk of mutiny running rampant through the rest of the fleet.
I'm here to tell you I will not tolerate any such non-sense on this ship.
If you think you have found yourself on the wrong ship, by all means move along.
But if you know you belong here, if you know that this is your boat, and if you work and practice at making her shiny and bright, I promise you, we will fly.
Look around kids, the rest of the fleet is in less than the best repair.
This ship may just be our only hope, and I'm not even sure the Admiral remembers we exist.
LOVE.
Imagine it people.
Imagine every little detail.
Imagine the rise of a very big LOVE.
Surround it in light and hold it for just a second.
Then let it be, knowing that when things got tough, our ship did it's job.
LOVE.

was one of my favs as a child....time for another look. :)
Read them both a while back
....and loved them. I actually read Illusions first, then became interested in Bach and read JLS.

Funny, I read Illusions
Funny, I read Illusions first as well. And come to think of it, that's the order I normally lend them in.

ATTENTION: The crew should
ATTENTION:
The crew should now be acquiring and reading the above assigned texts.
Please continue doing so.
I have an additional assignment for those of you who feel they can handle a little more "work".
Extra rations to all crew who complete the addtional assignment.
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to watch the movie Yellow Submarine. DO NOT ACQUIRE THIS MOVIE VIA ILLEGAL MEANS. If you can't get it legally, just let it be.
I want to thank you all for the efforts you have given this ship thus far, and for the efforts I know you are ready to keep giving her.
I promise you, with your efforts, LOVE will be the finest ship in the fleet.
That is all. Carry on.
p.s. I really do love you guys.
you mean this?
http://video.google.com/v...
Unless Yellow Submarine has
Unless Yellow Submarine has been released for legal free public viewing, I'd actually prefer my ship persons to find another way, or wait for it to "happen".
You are all free to do as you wish, but I did request that you do this legally. Like within the letter of the law.
That being said, we all find our own way, and we all have our own personal internal measure to live up to.
"Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully."
I didn't know
google video's were illegal. I am not trying to be smart, I just "honestly" always assumed they we free or else google would get sued.
But, by "Yellow Submarine" do you mean The Beatles?
The movie, as I know it to
The movie, as I know it to be called, is called Yellow Submarine.
I'm not sure as to the legality of google vids.
I know some have a disclaimer making them "free".
Some don't.
That's kind of why I leave it up to the individual to choose.
I'm actually working on some back burner stuff that might "free up" a couple of things along those lines.
As the plan begins to take shape, I'll keep anyone interested informed.
btw, does anyone know how to get ahold of Ringo?
I think he has a hole in his pocket.
=p
Great reading. Thanks for the reminder.
Also in the lessons on flying, one might find great value in the styling of Bob Hoover applied to spin recovery. 'It's not going to be your physical skill frantically wrestling with the stick attempting to regain controlled flight. It's going to take your mental calm, and trust (or even "faith") in forces much stronger than you. Relax, reduce power, LET GO OF THE STICK, and apply opposite rudder... be patient... when the plane stops her spinning, only THEN center the rudder, put your hand back on the stick, add power, and fly out of it." Works like a charm.
Imagine such brilliance applied to great ships of state, and the calm it would take to regain our fleeting 'control' (only an illusion anyway), in such times as these. Frantically wrestling with the controls, like the FED or DoS or even "democracy" for that matter? What a fantasy-land the Power Elite inhabit.

Thanks for turning me onto a very cool soul.
I'm guessing I have a thing or two to learn from this guy.

LOL!
I teach best what I most need to learn.
I think there is a dusty copy of "There's no such place as far away" sitting on this good captain's book shelf that needs some dusting. *wink*
I think there may be a promotion in line for a certain ship person if they keep up this kind of work.
Keep up the good buzz little bee!
