Illusions

The adventures of a reluctant Messiah
Book • 1977
In 'Illusions', Richard Bach tells the story of two barnstorming pilots who meet in the Midwest of the United States.

The protagonist, Richard Bach, a disillusioned writer and pilot, meets Donald Shimoda, a self-described messiah who teaches him about the illusory nature of reality.

Through their journeys in vintage biplanes, Richard learns to deconstruct his perceived limitations and understand the underlying reality behind the world's illusions.

The novel emphasizes themes of spiritual growth, self-discovery, and the power of human imagination.

Donald Shimoda's teachings, as outlined in the 'Messiah's Handbook', guide Richard towards ultimate enlightenment and freedom.
