ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach tells the story of a barnstorming pilot who encounters another pilot with extraordinary abilities. This enigmatic figure, Donald Shimoda, introduces the narrator to a world where reality is not as it seems, suggesting that our perceptions and beliefs shape our experiences. Through their encounters and conversations in the skies and on dusty airfields, Shimoda imparts lessons about the power of will, the nature of illusion, and the potential within each individual to transcend limitations. The book delves into themes of freedom, choice, the role of a messiah, and the idea that we magnetize our own realities through our thoughts.
