The Teaching


The Teaching
 
 

White Eagle’s gentle teaching has become known to thousands of people across the world through its publication in the books of the White Eagle Publishing Trust (augmented by CD's, audio cassettes, the bimonthly magazine Stella Polaris, and it’s quotation in other journals and books).

What White Eagle teaches is simply a way of life: it is not a way of life that demands huge changes at the outer level, but it does imply a great shift in consciousness within. It means moving from a belief that external and material things have power over us, to an acknowledgement of our own power to create and make beautiful all that we see. It means putting first an absolute trust in spirit so that it is love, not fear, that motivates us.

White Eagle teaches that we are spirit first and body last. "You could be as kings,’ he says, ’ruling supreme over all negative conditions in your lives; but too often you can succumb to the negative forces instead of releasing, with your own master key, the power and light stored up within you to combat these forces."

He also says that spirit has the power completely to change the body. "You are spirit. The real you, the consciousness, is spirit. As you strengthen this realisation through meditation and worship of your Creator your spirit will begin to dominate the physical atoms, until your body becomes irradiated with life, and every particle obeys the direction of spirit, the real you."

There are other things that White Eagle teaches. The law of Karma and Opportunity, for instance, which is based on a belief in reincarnation. However, there is nothing that White Eagle teaches except the simple truth ‘you are spirit’ that needs to be taken on board to understand the beauty and the comfort of what he says. Many times he has said, if you find the idea of reincarnation difficult, don’t struggle with it. The divine plan is far greater than any of us could ever comprehend, and to believe we can sum up the purpose of your existence in few phrases is futile. Maybe vastly more things are true, and can be true simultaneously, than we could possibly credit!

Here is a final thought, from one of White Eagle’s books - all the rest of the teaching can be found in those books themselves and in the work of the Lodge:


"Develop from the heart, meditate on love, live love, absorb love, give love, and your soul will become alight. The divine magic will rest in your hands, enabling you to heal the sick, to comfort the bereaved, to bless the sorrowful, to beautify everything you touch, and to bring peace and happiness to the lives of men and women."
