Jonathan Livingston Seagull / Richard Bach

"Each of us is actually the big seagull idea, the idea of ​​unlimited freedom," Jonathan would say in the evening on the beach, "and the exact flight is a step in your progress towards expressing your true nature. We must distance ourselves from all that limits us. To direct over-speed training, slow speed, aerobatics exercises ... " ... And the disciples were asleep, exhausted from flying today. They loved the training, since they were fast and exciting and satisfy their hunger to learn, which grew every lesson they had. But none, not even Fletcher Lynd Seagull himself, has learned to believe that the flight of thoughts may be quite substantial flight of wind and feather.
"Entire body, wingtip to wingtip," Jonathan would say on other occasions, "is nothing but your thought". Disconnect the cables of your thought, and you have broken the bonds of your body ..."

Fascinated by this book I tried all my childhood to apparate or fly around by the power of thought. And guess what? It did not work.
But I ahven't given up. I believed and continued to consume literature of miracles, to watch live broadcasts of Uri Geller and try with him to bend spoons and stop watches. But despite all the efforts and the uncompromising faith I still showed very poor ability in this area.
What did not interfered me to continue believe that one day it will happen.
After all "The Seagull who fly high is the one who see far" So maybe all I need is perspective? A few more years in this world? Or meet the right teacher? Maybe. Lucky I was only 13 year old. So I had quite a few years of trying on this planet!
