“I will not apologize for being a nervous flyer.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0It’s not natural for seventy-five tons to be hurdling through the air at 500 mph.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>You’re basically riding a wing attached to two jet engines SEVEN MILES ABOVE THE EARTH.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This “confession of a nervous flyer” was written in Dec 2020 when I fled the coming COVID lockdown in Canada. The article illustrates how we are all prisoners of our ego and its lizard-like programming (fear of dying, greed, lust, power, fame, etc.) This voice in our head depresses us (lowers Consciousness.) On my way back to Canada last May, I detached myself from the nervous voice. I called him “Mr. Chickenshit.”\u00a0 I would ridicule him when he spoke. Control your thoughts.<\/em>\u00a0 I am applying this to all my ego’s programmed addictions (listed above.)\u00a0Joy wells up naturally from the soul when devoted to God’s Purpose for us, however, we define it. Life is sacred.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Confessions of a Nervous Flyer (Humor)<\/em><\/p>\n

“What do you recommend for someone who’s terrified of flying?”<\/p><\/div>\n

I know you all regard me as a spiritual avatar<\/strong> but when it comes to flying I am just as neurotic as the next guy.<\/p>\n

Not “me” exactly but “he.” The voice in my head.<\/p>\n

He’s afraid the turbulence will cause the plane to go into a nosedive.<\/p>\n

“Turbulence is just wind,” he reasons, “planes never crash from it. Imagine waves lapping up against a boat.”<\/p>\n

But he’s still clutching the armrests.<\/p>\n

He could never be a pilot:\u00a0“This is your captain speaking. We’ll land in the desert and wait for this nasty turbulence to subside.”<\/p>\n

He tries to strike a deal with God.\u00a0He promises to give up some bad habits if only he lands safely!<\/p>\n

And he heaves a sigh of relief when he does land safely, promises forgotten.<\/p>\n
