So, is it just another call to atheism or sober mind manifestation? There is no single and direct answer to this question. “Learn what the magician knows, and nothing is magic anymore”. He explains what he means in a book with the following words: It helps to comprehend the other part of the world better. The author contrasts Western and Eastern ideologies to show how realism differs from blind faith. I would call his attempt an acceptable immersion into Eastern philosophy with a completely Western outlook. However, his answers make sense.īach tries to connect Eastern and Western philosophies. Just like a reluctant Messiah, Bach often imposes different doubtful, senseless questions.

They try to surpass their mental boundaries throughout the text. They wish to explore things from various perspectives by achieving particular destinations.

The entire book focuses on the journey and observations of two different pilots flying their biplanes. Richard Bach presents the idea of life spreading beyond what is known as restrictions imposed by the human physical body. Of course, he provides answers afterwards. Instead of preaching, he uses cajoles and questions. What makes Bach’s stories original is the way he delivers the primary message to the reader. Thus, all those who wish to learn how our brain works and get some explanations to a simple question: 'What made me do that?', get through Illusion experience with us. However, Bach sounds rather persuasive providing a deep insight into the modern scientific progress.Most likely this work will puzzle agnostics as it covers something beyond our mind and imagination.It also dwells on the material values that prevent humanity from exploring its spiritual nature.How intuition can keep people away from achieving their main goals.The book raises an issue of how people's feelings can lead to failures.Illusions is a perfect almanac of these two intersections.

In my opinion, two most fascinating elements of human nature are feelings and thoughts. I should say I deeply admired the book despite some episodes which were too complicated to understand. The first time I encountered Illusions by Richard Bach, I had this amazing impression when you discover some unique ideas in one book.
