However, to paraphrase an old '50s TV title, I "led two lives", one that of worldly pilot and the other one of truth seeker. Needless to say I'm an expert at "compartmentalization-- most pilots are. (as I heard Dr. Jerry Berlin, an aviation psychologist, once say: "No body can pull down the blinders like a pilot!" -- he also said that we all certifiably paranoid.) I can honestly say, only twice in twenty years in the military and eight years of civilian aviation has my "sanity" been called into question. The first time by a rather worldly Full Colonel -- a bean counter at that, and they are more worldly then most-- who I, in a fit of "euphoric" self-discovery, made priviy to one of my famous "data dumps" . The other time by a airline captain I was flying with, who was a bit too "fundamental" in his Christian beliefs for the particular interpretation I was offering. Needless to say, I learned over the years, to a bit more selective with my audience (one of the reasons I stopped going to Bible studies with my wife -- not that I had nothing to say, rather that I had way to much to say). Besides unintentionally "rattling someone"s worldview" (Allan Watts, or was it Ram Dass called this "laying your trip on somebody else") is in not only inconsiderate, it is in poor taste. After all, we are all entitled to hold any particular point of view of reality we wish, since we are all coming from unique and individual perspectives.
