You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isnโt flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesnโt have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there.
Richard BachIf we believe that we're separated from someone, though they stand in the same room with us, we're separated. If we believe that we're together, if we believe that they are with us, if we listen through our inner senses, there's a chance we'll hear.
Richard BachEach of us is free to move our consciousness through that infinite pattern of possibilities as we please. If we're filled with fears, or if we trust the fears of others, we'll choose a path in which our city falls into the sea, or a path in which a third world war vaporizes us, or whatever other disaster is most thrilling or horrifying or fascinating for us.
Richard BachIf we change in different directions, then we don't have any future anyway, do we? I think it's possible for two people to change together, to grow together and enrich instead of diminish each other. The sum of one and one, if they're the right ones, can be infinity! But so often one person drags the other down; one person wants to go up like a balloon and the other's a dead weight. I've always wondered what it would be like if both people, if a woman and a man both wanted to go up like balloons!
Richard BachItโs okay is a cosmic truthโฆItโs okay. If there were nothing here for us to learn, we wouldnโt bother to pay the fare.
