The flight instructor Jamie Forbes receives a call on his plane's radio that another airplane is in trouble and the pilot is dead. His wife, the only other passenger, is frantic, and she does not know how to fly the plane. Jamie talks Maria into maneuvering the plane step by step and sees to it that she lands it safely. Maria tells him that he hypnotized her.

Yet, this is only the beginning of the book. After this, through coincidences, which are not coincidences because there is no such thing as a coincidence according to the author, Jamie discovers the depths of his or anyone else's mystical sides.

There are many to-the-point inspirational lines in the book, such as: hypnosis is a suggestion one's mind accepts. This happens as we settle into the societies we are born into and throughout life. If we can shake off those suggestions, we can even walk through walls, so to speak.

In addition, hypnosis leads to the law of attraction since mind attracts what it believes in.

reading in one sitting. It is not very long and the print is easy on the eyes.

the mix of fiction with the author's musings. As always, Richard Bach does an amazing job of weaving fiction with his outlook on life, and while doing so, he inspires his readers.

think about more on what the author said. In my way, I believe him, although my brain's right-side is not as powerful as his.

happy. I had missed Richard Bach's writing during the last ten years.

Richard Bach, born in 1936 in Illinois, is a direct descendant of the great Composer Bach. His other books are: Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Illusions, Messiah's Handbook, Bridge Across Forever, There's No Such Place As Far Away, Curious Lives, Running from Safety, A Gift of Wings, Biplane, Out of My Mind

It is a classic Bach, pun intended, and this writer always writes about what he loves, believes, and muses over without any hesitation.

Once more in Hypnotizing Maria, Bach, writes about flying, which is what he loves. All his other books, too, have flying --I believe as a metaphor for being free-- in them.
