“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding, find out what you already know, and you’ll see the way to fly.”

Richard Bach in Jonathon Livingstone Seagull.

Richard Bach is one of my favorite authors - some of his books include Stranger to the Ground, Nothing by Chance, There’s No Such Place As Far Away , Illusions:The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah to name just a few.

I have always found that Bach’s philosophy that we create our reality is very similar to the ideas of Seth It was interesting to find this note on College Crier

“The way I was led to meet Jane and Rob was one of these examples of the principle of coincidence. When someone says there’s a book I have to read I say ” sure”. When the third or fourth person in a row tells me I need to read a book, I start listening. That had happened with Jane’s first book, The Seth Material. I was in this dim little corridor in a second hand book store with books to the ceiling. This book was sticking out like it was about to fall down. I reached up to push it back in and I noticed it was that book. I opened it and was completely fascinated. If you know the Seth books, they’re like deep chocolate fudge. One sentence will last you for hours. At the time Jane-believe it or not- was in the phone book, so I called her. I told her that I’d had this strange experience. I’d written a book that I felt was not of my personal creation. She asked me what book. I said Jonathan Livingston Seagull. She said that people had been telling her to read that book. She and Rob, her husband, invited me up for dinner. So I flew up and had a wonderful time with them, and occasionally with Seth, who would come booming through Jane at odd intervals whenever there was something interesting for him to say.”
