Illusions

"Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you." This is an extremely powerful quote that is proven in the opening scene of the book. This scene includes the main character of the novel, Richard, who is searching for the "meaning of life". While flying his 1928 Fleet over Ferris, Illinois, Richard spots another biplane parked in a field Knowing how lonely flying can be, Richard decides to land and make some conversation. Little did he know that the pilot of the 1928 Travel Air 4000 was the "Mechanical Messiah." Here, Richard begins his journey, the journey that he has drawn to himself.

After landing, Richard meets his guide on the journey, Dan Shimoda. This guide was no ordinary man, for he was the "Messiah." The first day the two met they hit it off right away. It was like as if they were destined to fly together, but really they weren't because nobody forced Richard to land that day. When Dan asked Richard if he thought he would be "led to a teacher who can help him", Richard replied, "if the teacher doesn't happen to be me, then yes." In all actuality though, Richard led himself to this great teacher, and ironically the teache


r happened to be Dan Shimoda. This was so because "Teaching is reminding others they know just as well as you". Which was just what Dan was doing, informing Richard of the everyday "llusions".

After Richard talked to Dan about the dream he was even more confused than before he had the dream because couldn't figure out why, or how the "Messiah" could quit such a demanding job. Don's answer to this puzzling question was simple, "it's like going to auto races to see the crashes, they came to me to see miracles." Don meant that people would come to him for the wrong reasons. Don just simply wished the people would listen to what he had to say. A wish that Richard was fulfilling unwillingly. Shortly after explaining his retirement, Don was hit with another vital question that would drastically effect Richard's journey. The question was simple, "Where do you learn this stuff, Don?" The answer was Richard's new guide in life, the "Messiah's Handbook". Whenever Richard became puzzled in life, Donald showed him that he could open up the handbook and the solution would await him at whatever page he opened up to.
