FLYING

Every flyer learns early in his career that his plane must lift against weight and thrust against drift. Lifting against the established laws of the earth plane, in one movement setting aside the old time-honored and unbeatable law of gravity. And then thrusting against the terrible "Drift" of the atmosphere - the onslaught of a hundred and one currents, fogs, pockets and strange unchartered conditions of the upper sphere.

He lifts because he has a perfectly equipped machine with which to lift - and he thrusts into the unknown and untested atmosphere of a new level by the same power that gave the lift.

There is something remarkably similar between the lifting and thrusting of the plane and the "Arising" from the "pig sty" or the "Stretching forth" of the hand or the "opening of the eyes."

There comes a split second after the contact is made when the take-off is necessary - it must be made. The sudden LIFT is possible because of an even more fast moving recognition of the possibility of it all taking place. The moment he hesitates and begins examining equipment he may find it inadequate to perform the Lift and the Thrust - so he either "Rises" or he waits and thinks. The more a man thinks of the weight of the machine and the law of gravity and the terrible onrush of the vicious and violent currents of air, the more he is convinced that flying is not for him. And so with you - the more you think of your heavy, matter body and mind, the more you find it utterly impossible to lift against the old established laws of sin, sickness and death. When you think of going head-on into the force of human thought with its almost immovable laws, you lose heart - and freeze into a mass of human thinking.

There is that instant in Prayer - the click - the movement when elan vital is struck. In a plane it is the movement of ignition when the spark touches the gas and the thing is set in motion. When the WORD - quick and instant and "sharper than a two edged sword turning in all directions" cuts through the human law of sickness and poverty and sets the marching in motion, it causes it to mount to a new level and make its thrust against all the beliefs of the mortal mind.

That wonderful instant when you "hear" and obey - and rise and go. When Peter asked to come to Jesus the answer was in the affirmative. Have you noticed that the answers of Jesus were always in the affirmative? He always said - "yes - whatsoever you will." Having asked for it you must handle it. So in the case of Peter. He makes his lift above established beliefs, and is then above the law of gravity of mortal thinking. He then starts the "thrust" and continues beautifully until he starts thinking. The moment he starts thinking the "engine" is killed and the machine goes down to the level of what would happen on the thought plane.

Having made your lift and started your thrust do not look down, but keep flying right into the Power of God and see the mists of belief disappear and presently you arrive at the "boat."

You make your lift by the Recognition of the Presence and your Divinity within. Once you have made the recognition - something is going to happen - something must happen. "Go not back" -
