The secret behind flying

The secret unraveled?

Who knows.

According to the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, written by Douglas Adams (may he rest in peace), the secret of flying is this:
Falling, whether it is from an airplane or simply tripping over a rock, and missing the ground.
"But how is this possible?" you ask, well, the trick is making sure to get distracted just before you hit the ground. This can happen through a multitude of events, i.e. a long lost item suddenly being spotted from he corner of ones eye.
If this is done correctly, one will find himself bobbing a few feet above the ground, however, at the moment one is to take note of this, he will simply fall back to the ground.

Now, to me the secret to continue doing something (this could be anything, though do note that it's not recommended for certain activities, such as driving), is by not realizing doing it.
I suspect flight can be maintained through this principle. The tricky thing about it is that it needs a certain level of awareness, yet without realizing it's actually happening.
A sort of a "IF I were flying, I'd like to fly this way" state of mind, I suppose.
I wonder if it's worth the potential injuries to try...

(NOTE: I do not take any kind of responsibility for any kind of injury, loss of locomotion or casualty as a result to people making an attempt at any of this.)
