By practice and experience a man can (if the wind be of the right strength) imitate the complete sailing flight of birds by availing himself of the slight upward trend of some winds, by performing circling sweeps, and by allowing the air to carry him.

Swimming upon water teaches men how birds do upon the air.

He is like an angel who floats for a little while on this planet and touches with his wings the canvas.

Aviation in air, in water and in spirit. Its laws are different in all three cases. The spirit soars the more it weighs and sinks into itself. The heavier the spirit, the higher and farther it flies.

As swimmers dare
to lie face to the sky
and water bears them,
as hawks rest upon air
and air sustains them,
so would I learn to attain
freefall, and float
into Creator Spirit’s deep embrace,
knowing no effort earns
that all-surrounding grace.

The hook is in deep boys, there is no more time. So you can struggle in the water and be too stubborn to die, or you could just let go and be lifted to the sky.

Scientists call it the mammalian dive reflex or...the Master Switch of Life, and they've been researching it for... fifty years. ...[C]oined by Per Scholander ...it refers to variety of physiological reflexes in the brain, lungs, heart [etc.] that are triggered the second we put our face in the water. The deeper... the more pronounced... Ancient cultures... employed it... to harvest sponges, pearls, coral and food hudreds of feet below the surface of the ocean...

Believe it possible that you can float off the ground and fly by merely willing it. See what happens.

They flew like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water.

The men of God are like fishes in the ocean; they pop up into view on the surface here and there and everywhere, as they please.

Yes, indeed, we must fly, but not with our feet, but with our hands..

Can one drown in one's element... If fish can drown in water, can human beings suffocate in air?

Now that man can fly through the air like a bird ... and swim in the sea like a fish, wouldn't it be wonderful if he could just walk the earth like a man?
