Gold Seal

is the basic primer to open up your mind to be able to understand "Illusions", and others that follow.

I've read "Illusions" and "Bridge Across Forever". At the time, I liked both books, but I really don't buy into the Bach's New Age stuff.

I don't believe in fate, destiny, soulmates, or that "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear". I think that there are many different fates or destinies, many different soulmates, and that when the student is ready, a teacher may or may not appear, depending on both chance and the ability of the student to recognize the teacher.
 
I can't believe the direction this post went.

We have some philosopher pilots on this board! And that is refreshing. One of the best posts I have ever read on an aviation website.

Tgrayson and nosehair...have you guys ever read Richard S. Drury(wrote the Flightlines column for Airways magazine for many years)?

I may be wrong about this, but I just looked up the reg a few days ago about Gold Seal, and all it said was: AGI or IGI CFI w/ IR, ( the only grandfathered clause, because there are some old timers who do not have an instrument rating and do have a CFI) and said 8/10 passing.. But said nothing at all about a 2 year time frame. I do believe this was done away with.

if I'm wrong, please show me a current reg.

Actually, it's not a regulation, not one that I am aware of anyway;).

I think it's from an Advisory Circular, or some other form of Policy, but not Regulation.

And I haven't seen it in years.:whatever:

Basicly, me too. I do believe that we must believe we can do something before we can do it. We have to formulate, or postulate, an action by the mind before the body can perform the action. These books give us tools to use, or focus, on these qualities and refine the mind-to-body connection that is at the center of learning to fly.
 
The way I understand it at the present time (and of course it is a very surface-level understanding) is that certain quantum physicists have included consciousness in there studies, and have suggested that the deepest part of ourselves(our minds) exist beyond our concepts of space-time. Those areas of discipline seem to shed light on 'new age' concepts(which as I understand it, seem to include some ideas that are not very 'new' at all).

Yes...seems like we're taking a giant step backwards into the future.

I doubt any serious physicist would make such remarks in a scientific context. Some of them in their private lives may have some loopy ideas, but they tend to keep that separate from their scientific efforts.

Most physicists laugh at people like Deepak Chopra who try to bend scientific ideas to support their spiritual/religious beliefs. New Agers are typically interested in scientific concepts only to the extent that it enables them to shut off the rational part of the brain.
