The term "free fall" is often used more loosely than in the strict sense defined above. Thus, falling through an [[atmosphere]] without a deployed parachute, or lifting device, is also often referred to as free fall. The aerodynamic drag forces in such situations prevent them from producing full weightlessness, and thus a skydiver's "free fall" after reaching [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity terminal velocity] produces the sensation of the body's weight being [[supported]] on a cushion of air.

It is perhaps likened to your [[journey]] ahead. You are '''free-falling''' without [[thought]] of where you shall lay your head to where you shall [[receive]] your meals. It is so [[difficult]] for mortals to release all that they are, know and have, and in the clutching of this, the [[energy]] is spent, and the [[connection]] with Father weak. It takes a [[courageous]] [[individual]] to be willing to be lost to [[become]] more. [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2000-04-17-Love_One_Another_As_He_Does#Dialogue Abraham]
