Illusions

Book Review by: MarcoLinero    

Original Author: Richard Bach
This abstract was translated from Ilusões
          Illusions in the speech of as we attracted  for us , for our
lives , that that we placed in our minds , in our thoughts , of the power that we have to transform our lives , of  the illusions of the world in that lived , a  world  that created in our minds.
          The  controversial  pays  attention  to  mind-matter  it  is  placed  in fiction, that begins with an incredible adventure of Richard, an itinerant pilot that flew with your biplane for the fields of the middle American west selling walks of ten minutes to three dollars.
          Richard had in your mind the thought that  the world  was more than that that our eyes can see , thought about the possibility of one day to find somebody to explain to him as the things they work, as the world and your illusions work.
          One day in one of your flights  finds  other pilot making the same as him, selling walks, soon they become friends and Richard notices that this friend is exactly that person that one day thought about finding , he is Dom Shimoda ( a Messiah ) that soon starts to teach him about  the illusions of the world , teaches him everything that knows, shows him as our thoughts can limit us, it shows him the secret of the mental magnetism.
          Dom also gives him a small book, the " Messiah''s Handbook ", that helps him a lot in the moments of you doubt, the manual is a type of magic book that explains exactly that that the person  needs to know in the exact moment.
          Dom doesn''t  hide  of  Richard  that  was  tired  of  that  life , of  that mission, of  the  crowds  that  were  sometimes  formed  because  of  your " miracles".
          They were many days of  incredible adventures  and teachings , the two become a lot of friends, but one day a tragedy happens, Dom Shimoda is murdered, Richard doesn''t get to understand as somebody with so many powers on  the  world  and  your illusions  can be  let  to  be  murdered ,  it consults  the  Messiah''s  Handbook  but  it  continues  confused before the answer that the Manual gives him.
          Some weeks later , as if it was a dream , Dom Shimoda appears for Richard and they talk as always they did before , Richard understands that the accident actually had been just a transition , a passage for another life, other mission, Dom asks for Richard that uses what it had been taught him for like this to substitute him in this life , suggesting  that made this writing, because it didn''t like  crowds  a lot and of the direct contact with the people fearing the same end that had had Dom Shimoda in this life.
