imagination and its power

The mind is powerful. We underestimate its power, especially the power of autosuggestibility.

Let me go over a few things again: I was frightened of skydiving. We all are. The issue that bothered me in particular was the difficulty in understanding air. Air is thin. Air is nothing. Therefore we do not throw ourselves into air. We only walk upon the things that are by nature "something".

But I overcame this ill. I did so by imagining that air was something. Air was molecules. It was moisture. It had WATER in it for goodness sake!

Thus I made my sixth and seventh jumps.
