View Full Version : IILLUSIONS by; Richard Bach
1. There was a master come unto the earth, born in the holy land of Indiana, raised in the mystical hills east of Fort Wayne.
2. The master learned of this world in the public schools of Indiana, and as he grew, in his trade as mechanic of automobiles.
3. But the Master had learning from other lands and other schools, from other lives that he had lived. He remembered these, and remembering became wise and strong, so that others saw his strength and came to him for counsel.
4. The Master believed that he had power to help himself and all mankind, and as he believed so it was for him, so that others saw his power and com to him to be healed of their troubles and their many diseases.
5. The Master believed that it is well for any man to think upon himself as a son of God, and as he believed, so it was, and the shops and garages where he worked became crowded and jammed with those who sought his learning and his touch, and the streets outside with those who longed only that the shadow of his passing might fall upon them, and change their lives.
6. It came to pass, because of the crowds, that the several foremen and shop managers bid the Master leave his tools and go his way, for so tightly was he thronged that neither he nor other mechanics has room to work upon the automobile.
7. So it was that he went into the countryside, and people following began to call him Messiah, and worker of miracles, and as they believed it was so.
8. If a storm passed as he spoke, not a raindrop touched a listener's head; the last of the multitude heard his words as clearly as the first, no matter lighting nor thunder in the sky about. And always he spoke to them in parables.
9. And he said unto them, "Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and to sickness, to riches and to poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another".
10. A will man spoke and said, "Easy words for you, Master, for you are guided as we are not, and need not toil as we toil. A man has to work for his living in this world".
11. The Master answered and said, " Once their lived a villager of creatures along the bottom of a great crystal river.
12. "The current of the river swept silently over them all- young and old, rich and poor, good and evil the current going its own way, knowing only its own crystal self.
13. "Each creature in its own manner clung tightly to the twigs and rocks of the river bottom for clinging was their way of life, and resisting the current what each had learned from birth.

14."But one creature said at last, I'm tried of clinging though I cannot see it with my eyes, I will trust that the current knows where it is going, I shall let go, and let it take me where it will. Clinging, I shall die of boredom.
15. The other creatures loughed and said " fool, ! let go, and that current you worship will throw you tumbled and smashed across the rocks, and you will die quicker than bordom!".
16. " But the one heeded them not, and taking a breath did let go, and at once was tumbled and smashed by the curnnet across the rocks.
17. Yet in time, as the creature refused to cling again, the current lifted him free from the bottom, and he was bruised and hurt no more.
18. " And the creatures down stream, to whom he was stranger, cried," See a miracle! A creature likes ourselves, yet he flies! See the Messiah, come save us all!"
19. And the one carried in the current said , " I am no more Messiah than you, the river delights to lift us free, if only we dare let go. Our true work is this voyage, this adventure".

It is really a breath taking book by Richard Bach, which I'm reading now, it is really gems.
these points are from the editorial and I'm planning to quote from the book and post here, `cause i'm sure it deserves to be shared.
MakilNeem 20-Feb-07, 09:50 GO ON.
I think it is the best place to quote some of this magnifient man's harvest:-
The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.
Richard Bach (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/r/richardbac149559.html)
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
Richard Bach (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/r/richardbac134891.html)
The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly.
Richard Bach (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/r/richardbac121662.html)
The meaning I picked, the one that changed my life: Overcome fear, behold wonder
Richard Bach (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/r/richardbac121662.html)
Thanks,
Please go on spreading the sheets of this fabulous task.
I admire the cover sheet where that sky-blue colour and a puzzled feather is swimming in a space.. Wowwwww

M.N.
To me it was love from the first sight, the twinkling stars are our experiences, the turquoise feather was like wisdom, in the middle of our black minds, so clear, and yet, I am sure many had passed the book without even, take a look at it.
sure i will continue...
20. "But they cried the more, ' Survivor!' all the while clinging to the rocks, and when they looked again he was gone, and they were left alone making legends of Survivor."
21. And it came to pass when he saw that the multitude thronged him the more day on day, tighter and closer and fiercer than ever they pressed him to heal them without rest, and feed them always with his miracles, to
learn for them and to live their lives, he went above that day unto a hilltop apart, and there he prayed.
22. And he said in his heart, Infinite Radiant Is, if it be thy will, let this cup pass from me, let me lay aside this impossible task. I cannot line the life of one other soul, yet ten thousand cry to me for life. I'm sorry I allowed it all to happen. If it be thy will, let me go back to my equines and my tools and let me live as other men.
MakilNeem 22-Feb-07, 06:45 I'm sorry I allowed it all to happen.
I need these words in the code for my instance, then:-
Why, Makarim, whenever you tease me somewhere, you then ask me an oath not to answer!!!?
Do you think that I always mess-up or "yankee-tongued" screw up the matter?
I just had several times u mentioning my names and expecting my "rude" comments, Wish I'm mistaken.
:oops

Read this.
"Masses and crowds of people, torrents of humanity pouring against one man in the middle of them all. Then the people became an ocean that would drown the man, but in-stead of drowning he walked over the ocean, whistling, and disappeared."
Don't you see yourself as the only one who lets go, while all of us are still clinging
I wish i'm not mistaken.

pls. dont stop

So you are the last knot that refuses my fist to cling like others???
Remember. You are a moderator, and your words could be regarded as black clouds in my hopeful horizons.

23. And a voice spoke to him on the hilltop, a voice neither male nor female, loud nor soft, a voice infinitely kind. And the voice said unto him, "Not my will, but thing be one. For what is, thy will is mine for thee. Go thy way as other men, and be thaw happy on the Earth."
24. And hearing, the Master was glad, and gave thanks and came down from the hilltop humming a little mechanic's song.
And when the throng pressed him with its woes, beseeching him to heal for it nonstop from his understanding and to entertain it with his wonders, he smiled upon the multitude and said pleasantly unto them " I quit."
25. For a moment the multitude was stricken dumb with
astonishment.
26. And he said unto them "If a man told God that he wanted most of all to help suffering world, no matter the price to himself, and God answered and told him what he must do, should the man do as he is told?"
To be continue....
27. "Of course, Master !" cried the many. "It should be pleasure for him to suffer the tortures of hell itself, should God ask it!"
28."No matter what those tortures, nor how difficult the task.?"
29. " Honor to be hanged, glory to be nailed to a tree and burned, if so be that God has asked," said they.
30. " And what would you do," the Master said unto the multitude," if God spoke directly to your face and said, ' I COMMAND THAT YOU BE HAPPY IN THE WORLD, AS LONG AS YOU LIVE.' What would you then.?
31. And the multitude was silent, not voice, not sound was heard upon the hillsides, a cross the valleys where they stood.
32. And the Master said unto the silence, " I'm the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime. So it is that I have learned this day, and choose to leave you now to walk your own path, as you please."
33. And he went his way though the crowds and left them, and he returned to the everyday world men and mechanics.
The End...
of book introduction
Learning
is finding out
what you already know,
Doing is demonstrating that you know it.
Teaching is reminding others
that they know just as well as you.
you are all learners, doers, teachers
Your only obligation in any lifetime
Is to be true to yourself.
Being true to anyone else or
Anything else is not only
Impossible, but the mark of being fake.
The
Simplest questions
The most profound.
Where were you born? Where is your home?
Were are you going? What are you doing?
Think about These once in a while,
and watch your answers change.
you people

Attentively, I DO!:wink:
Keen to end up exploring it in order to DHL the original volume to me:lool:
MakilNeem...
It looks like we are the only two who are following Richard Bach
So why don't you share your hard copy with me?
You
Teach best
what you most need to learn
Live
never to be
ashamed if anything you do
or say is published
around the world, even if
what is published is not true.
Your friends
will know you better
in the first minutes you meet
than
your acquaintances
will know you in a thousands years.
The
best way
to avoid responsibilities
is to say " I've got responsibilities"

Professors usually collect the harvest of several candidates' assays to announce a new edition of their own:lool: :lool:
