We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.

Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.
Richard Bach

I was a microscopic life-form, infinitely large, stumbled backstage of its playhouse, caught a nanosecond glance of its own reality and nearly vaporized in shock.
Richard Bach

Just be who you are, calm and clear and bright. Automatically, as we shine who we are, asking ourselves every minute is this what I really want to do, doing it only when we answer yes, automatically that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do, and from whom we have to learn, as well.
Richard Bach

It happened over and over again, and the beginner learned - when you start puzzling over an idea, and slowing down on the keys, the writing gets worse and worse.
Richard Bach
Image
Isn't it strange how much we know if only we ask ourselves instead of somebody else.
Richard Bach
Image
If you want to meet someone who can fix any situation you don't like, who can bring you happiness in spite of what other people say or believe, look in a mirror, then say this magic word: 'Hello.'
Richard Bach
Image
What a delighted fascination it is, to stand aside and watch our dearest friend perform on stage without us.
Richard Bach
Image
We're all the sons of God, or children of the Is, or ideas of the Mind, or however else you want to say it.
Richard Bach
Image
Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight - how to get from shore to food and back again
Richard Bach
Image
How is it we’re the lucky ones, living a life that the children-we-were took for dreams?
Richard Bach

Were we, also, hiking along some cosmic journal page? Were the events about us all part of a message we could understand, if only we found the right perspective from which to read them? Somehow, with our long series of miracles, I thought so.

It doesn’t take time to change once you understand the problem...Somebody hands you a rattlesnake, it doesn’t take long to drop it, does it?
