Learning to Fly
When I was a kid I used to fly radio controlled gliders with my Dad. We flew them on the sod farms near Dansville Michigan on lazy summer days. When I wasn’t chasing the highstart (the long rubber band we used to launch the gliders), I was laying on my back in the grass, flying my glider, watching the clouds and the occasional hawk that would join me, and dreaming of being up there with them.
It wasn’t too many years later that I heard that the Michigan State hang gliding club was offering lessons to the public. I decided to check it out and learned to fly on the sand dunes of Lake Michigan. I found that I love to fly and even a broken back in a hang gliding accident didn’t deter me.
After years of flying off the highest mountains and up to the clouds with just a Dacron wing and the breeze in my face, I decided to expand my experience of flying to real planes and began to pursue getting my power and glider licenses.
It was at this point that I stepped into learning what it takes to operate a piece of machinery within the context of aerodynamics, weather, airports, and the Federal Aviation Administration and all it’s rules and regulations.
The first flight I had with my flight instructor started with him talking me through taxiing our Cessna 172 to the end of the runway at the Albuquerque International Airport. He then told me to push the throttle forward, steer with my feet until we reached 62 knots, and then told me to ease back on the yoke. I then proceeded to fly the entire flight through landing – all from him coaching me through it. Even though I had flown hang gliders for years, I felt exhilarated with a new and deeper experience of freedom and my own capabilities and possibilities.
Pilots see the world from a different perspective. We know the clouds from learning which one’s we need to be concerned with and which one’s we don’t, and from experiencing them up close. We see the world from above getting to know the paths of the rivers and the contours of land. We dance with the wind, the movement up and down, and feel the exhilaration of being suspended in three dimensions knowing very concretely that our lives are completely in our own hands. And we only know this from the experience of flying, from going there—from doing it.
I always thought I would become a flight instructor, but just as I was to embark on that training, life had a different plan for me.
I realize now that I am like a flight instructor in my work as a spiritual teacher. I am teaching people how to live life from a Divine Perspective and take them there to experience it. And this work is like flying as it is introducing you to who you are in this other dimension and how you can experience life from a new perspective. Like flying, you can’t feel it until you have your hand on the stick, feet on the rudder, and wheels off the ground. You cannot understand it until you do it. Like learning to fly, it takes learning how to do it and requires practice to be proficient.
Living from this place is like knowing the intensity, exhilaration, and perspective of flying and knowing that our lives are completely in our own Divine hands. And from here you realize that you have the power to go anywhere and do anything.
Entering into the The 4 Steps to Divine Mastery transformational program is like going to flight school. You will learn about things that up to now have been unseen and, possibly not yet experienced by you. You will see how we have been walking through life from the lies of the society, and how you can discover the truth. You will learn how to connect to the Source within you so you can experience it for yourself. You will be asked to practice to become proficient at it and make it your own. And just like my pilot’s license, at the end of the course you will be proficient in and have a license to live a life in Divine Mastery that is yours forever.
