Flying Like A Bird

The cynical lazy may think they would like to use the lessons imparted in The Secret to become free like birds, grow wings and fly. However, actually being a bird may not be all the fun they imagine it to be. I believe it is very much like sex. In the sexual fantasy everything is perfect. How often is everything perfect in actual sex? NEVER from my experiences. All the baloney that has to happen before and after can ruin the experience. After you have had sex with someone you have never had sex with before you go home wondering if you caught some deadly VD disease, or if you got the woman pregnant, or whether or not you should ever call her again at the risk of finding out she missed her period, blah, blah, blah. This type of crap can take the very short fun out of sex.

Well, it could very well be the same with being a bird. It may take a lot more painful effort than imagined to actually fly and keep the wings open while in the air. Being a bird of prey and hunting for food may take a lot of the joy out of flight.

The point is that in the mind the imagined vision of flying like a bird can be refined. Like a sexual fantasy, everything can be perfect. You can go into a properly controlled meditative trance and fly better than you originally imagined it could be…if your mind is strong enough. There’s the rub. Your mind has to be disciplined and strong enough. If it is not chances are you will not be able to make flying like a bird as satisfying as you would like it to be.

So, imagine for a moment that you can discipline your mind to the point where you can go into a trance, temporarily merge dreams with reality, sprout wings in a controlled dream and fly in the most beautiful natural settings you can imagine. Do you really feel it is so impossible to create such a dream and fly in that dream any time you can sit back, go into a trance, merge dreams and reality and become a bird? It’s not so impossible. There is much to be studied about lucid dreaming, but…is it worth the effort? Could you be doing better things with your time and effort like…creating a more wonderful life for yourself? I choose to devote my energies to creating a more wonderful life for myself.

If you, whoever you may be, want to devote your energies toward merging dreams with reality and becoming a bird that is indeed your choice. For me, improving the quality of my daily life is much more worth my devoted time and effort.
