It's so uplifting to read your thoughts in tandem with those of my own. I love it! That's true - fear is the biggest killer. It's amazing how real it feels sometimes and how we have to deal with it. The best way is to acknowledge it because if you resist it, it will persist and grow even worst. I find that if I face up to the "perceived monster" I end up feeling so much better and proud for having walked through it. It's incredibly powerful to do just that but never easy. Wow, "the lessons you choose to learn during this particular flying moment are what decided you would remain in this physical world a bit longer." WOW. You are right. I so very much enjoy reading your comments because they add another dimension to the story or discussion. @ Liara Covert:

In fact, as this story illustrates, the power of your own mind can be deadly, if you allow yourself to become controlled by fear. Human beings consciously place themselves in situations as tests of their abilities, stamina, emotional endurance and for other reasons you learn as you progress through levels of awareness. The lessons you choose to learn during this particular flying moment are what decided you would remain in this physical world a bit longer. You made uncosncious choices and conscious, deliberate ones. Some people grow convinced they are always moving through different geographical places and timezones. Another way to look at it is that a person is only ever travelling though mindsets and levels of lessons. How and where you choose to grow depends on the design and complexity of your mental holodeck. This concept is explored in more detail in Star Trek episodes but it is not only used in those stories.

I really, really appreciate knowing how much "The Flight That Almost Killed Me" impacted you and how you were riveted to the end. Thank you, thank you and thank you. I'm grateful for the ability to touch people in this way.<br/><br/>As you know, I truly enjoy writing. It's a gift that I humbly continue to hone over time.<br/><br/>To answer your question, "clicking on the mic seven times to brighten the runway lights" is a method by which the pilot can click on the radio button to activtate runway lights even when no one is at the airport at night.<br/><br/>In other words, the radios are somehow wired in a way that when you are tuned into the airport's radio frequency, you have the ability to brighten the runway from the cockpit! If you click on it 7 times, the runway lights are super bright. If you click the radio mic 5 times, the runway is turn on "medium." If you click 3 times, it is turned on low wattage.<br/><br/>Cool, huh? Thanks for asking me to clarify this one aspect of the story. I'll see if I can somehow find a link for the reader to click on for further information (like how I did with the telephone and radio light gun landing links in the first part of the story).<br/><br/>Stephen Nita:
