Eventually, his lack of <a href="/wiki/Conformity" title="Conformity">conformity</a> within the Flock causes them to officially banish him with the label "Outcast". Undeterred, Jonathan continues his efforts to reach ever-greater flight goals, finding that he is often successful. He lives a long happy life and is sad not due to his loneliness but only due to the fact that the rest of the Flock will never know the full glories of flying, like him. In his old age, he is met by two radiantly-bright seagulls who share his abilities, explaining to him that he has learned much, but that they have come to take him "home" where he will go "higher". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Part_Two">Part Two</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jonathan_Livingston_Seagull&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Part Two"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Allegorie_auf_die_Transzendenz_der_M%C3%B6we_Jonathan.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/Allegorie_auf_die_Transzendenz_der_M%C3%B6we_Jonathan.jpg/220px-Allegorie_auf_die_Transzendenz_der_M%C3%B6we_Jonathan.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="164" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/Allegorie_auf_die_Transzendenz_der_M%C3%B6we_Jonathan.jpg/330px-Allegorie_auf_die_Transzendenz_der_M%C3%B6we_Jonathan.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/Allegorie_auf_die_Transzendenz_der_M%C3%B6we_Jonathan.jpg/440px-Allegorie_auf_die_Transzendenz_der_M%C3%B6we_Jonathan.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4112" data-file-height="3064" /></a><figcaption>″Jonathan transcends into a reality, which he assumes is heaven″</figcaption></figure> <p>Jonathan transcends into a reality, which he assumes is heaven, where all the gulls enjoy practicing incredible maneuvers and speeds, like him. His instructor, Sullivan, explains that a few gulls progress to this higher existence, but most others live through the same world over and over again. The Elder Gull of the community, Chiang, admits that this reality is not heaven, but that heaven is the achieving of perfection itself: an ability beyond any particular time or place. Suddenly, Chiang disappears, then reappears a moment later, displaying his attainment of perfect speed. When Jonathan begs to learn Chiang's skills, Chiang explains that the secret to true flight is to recognize that one's nature exists across all time and space. Jon begins successfully following Chiang's teachings. One day, Chiang slowly transforms into a blindingly luminous being and, just before disappearing for the last time, he gives Jonathan one last tip: "keep working on love." Jonathan ponders Chiang's words and, in a discussion with Sullivan, decides to go back to his own home planet, to teach his original Flock all that he has learned. Returning there, he finds a fellow lover of flying, Fletcher Lynd Seagull, who is angry at recently being "Outcast" by the Flock. Jonathan takes on Fletcher as his first pupil. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Part_Three">Part Three</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jonathan_Livingston_Seagull&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Part Three"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Jonathan has now amassed a small group of Outcasts as flying students, with Fletcher the star pupil, and tells them that "each of us is in truth... an unlimited idea of freedom". The deeper nature of his words is not yet understood by his pupils, who believe they are just getting basic flying lessons. For a month, Jonathan boldly takes them to perform aerial stunts in front of the bewildered Flock. Some of the Flock slowly join the Outcasts, while others label him a messiah or a devil; Jonathan feels misunderstood. One day, Fletcher dies in a flying collision. Awaking in another reality, he hears Jonathan's voice teasing him that the trick to transcending the limitations of time and space is to take it step by step — not so quickly. Fletcher is resurrected in the very midst of the flabbergasted Flock, some of whom fear and decry his supernatural reappearance, but Jonathan insists that he must learn to love the ignorant Flock. Jonathan's body suddenly begins to fade away, he requests that Fletcher stop others from thinking of him as anything silly like a god, and he gives a final piece of advice: "find out what you already know". Soon, Fletcher faces a group of eager new students of his own. He passes on Jonathan's sentiments that seagulls are limitless ideas of freedom and their bodies nothing more than thought itself, but this only baffles the young gulls. He realizes now why Jonathan taught him to take lessons slowly, step by step. Privately musing on Jonathan's idea that there are no limits, Fletcher smiles at the implication of this: that he will see Jonathan again, one day soon. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Part_Four_in_2014's_re-print,_Jonathan_Livingston_Seagull:_The_Complete_Edition"><span id="Part_Four_in_2014.27s_re-print.2C_Jonathan_Livingston_Seagull:_The_Complete_Edition"></span>Part Four in 2014's re-print, <i>Jonathan Livingston Seagull: The Complete Edition</i></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jonathan_Livingston_Seagull&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Part Four in 2014's re-print, Jonathan Livingston Seagull: The Complete Edition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 2013, Richard Bach took up a non-published fourth part of the book, which he had written contemporaneously with the original.

In October 2014, <i>Jonathan Livingston Seagull: The Complete Edition,</i> was published, and this edition includes Part Four of the story. </p><p>Part Four focuses on the period several hundred years after Jonathan and his students have left the Flock, and their teachings become <a href="/wiki/Veneration" title="Veneration">venerated</a> rather than practised. The birds spend all their time extolling the virtues of Jonathan and his students and spend no time flying for flying's sake. The seagulls practice strange rituals and use demonstrations of their respect for Jonathan and his students as status symbols. Eventually, some birds reject the ceremony and rituals and just start flying. A bird, named Anthony Gull, questions the value of living since "life is pointless and since pointless is by definition meaningless then the only proper act is to <a href="/wiki/Suicide" title="Suicide">dive into the ocean and drown</a>. Better not to exist at all than to exist like a seaweed, without meaning or joy [...] He had to die sooner or later anyway, and he saw no reason to prolong the painful boredom of living." As Anthony makes a dive-bomb to the sea, at a speed and from an altitude which would kill him, a white blur flashes alongside him. Anthony catches up to the blur, which turns out to be a seagull, and asks what the bird was doing. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jonathan_Livingston_Seagull&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Bach initially wrote it as a series of short stories that were published in <i><a href="/wiki/Flying_(magazine)" title="Flying (magazine)">Flying</a></i> magazine in the late 1960s.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
