Meditation 99 “Life is a Dream.” Meditation 99: Life is a Dream Metaphors draw two unlikely suspects together in an illuminating way. The metaphor “Achilles is a lion” is not literally true, unless I have a lion named “Achilles.” Yet it draws attention to the courage and strength of the hero with a punch that straight prose lacks. “X is brave and strong” applies to many people. “Life is a dream” is a well known metaphor. At this point, we might ask why “Life is a Dream” has captured so much attention over the years? Another way I have resisted the life/dream metaphor is by rejecting mysticism as not sufficiently rational. After coming to these dark reflections, I found a question to move forward. First of all, a dream is not illusory on its own terms. From this standpoint, there is a deep identity between dreams and waking life.

Biggles Software can only supply FCOM and AOM-based software to Aircraft Operators and TRTOs, and to pilots who are currently operating the aircraft type. To ensure better compliance with manufacturer Copyright, Confidentiality and Licensing requirements - whilst respecting your data protection and confidentiality - Biggles Software is developing a more robust method of determining individual eligibility. This will probably require individuals to complete some form of application stating which airline they work for and in what capacity, etc, and to provide documentary evidence of which FCOM or AOM is applicable, its revision status and date of issue, etc. It is hoped that it will not take too long to develop a manageable, compliant process but, until then, safe flying! Update: A compliant process has now been agreed and is in the development stage. Thank you to everyone who has been in touch!
