I don't really know how to begin this post other than I know what I mean at this moment. I have read a few of Richard Bachs books and my favirote two have to be JLS and Illusions. I love these two books for their utter simplistic view of the world and what we all mean. I've considered myself to be a cynic for some time now. However I must admit that when I read these two books I find myself as if I were a child learning something new. My life is what it is, and I know that in all honesty the only answer is one we come up with to make it all worth while. On the other hand I find that in this terrible world we're in we're all soaked in the same horrors, but I find the these books allow me to look into a different universe. Its a universe filled with light and beauty one we can all see into. Like I said before I write this knowing what I mean at the time. Thank you for reading.

Change your mind about this "terrible world" and the "horrors" and what do you have? A different universe based on a new perception...without horror. The books allow you to see into a different universe, they also allow the same freedom to live in it...if you choose to. I live in a wonderful world and I'm soaked with gratitude and reverence...why?...because I decide/choose to. You dont have to deny the "horror" only accept it and decide how and if it is going to serve you or own you.

Interesting. But, if this universe of horror is illusion, then isn't the one what we dream of an illusion too;the next level of illusion ?
Why do we need good at all ? I asked "..because I fear the Bad" "But isn't horror nothing but illusion?" I asked "So is good when you choose/define bad to be ?" "Then what's the point ?" "Not to create more illusion" "How?" " You want a wonderland that is beautiful and without horror. So shall you will have and so would many other spirits will follow you who would choose to live in that experience. Another world is created one more illusion." "Ok, so?" I said "But what after that? How long you can enjoy, no matter how vast it is? you can't. All you need is the state of absolution which is not lead to something next..and may be that is the world you look as joy,the world in which you dont experience joy,horror or let's say, thought process" "State of peace?" I asked "Almost, but without experience of peace or its thought" "What do you mean? Do I have to stop thinking? How's this possible? I don't get it" I said "As you wish till the time you wish;also till you wish time" he smiled and vanished
Chris, its not all about choice may be. Its about to chose not to choose. And if you want to know who was the guy answering my questions,you can read my post "What's the world like form your eyes" I have tried to identify him. Let me know what you think.
Take care.
