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."

Limitations of modern medical science and need for spiritual healing

 

1. Introduction

Since time immemorial, the study of disease and its remedies has captivated humankind. Today, modern medicine i.e., Allopathy, has gained prominence and widespread acceptance as the preferred method of curing disease. The advances in modern medicine have made clearer the physical and psychological causes behind various diseases. However, it is also true that the reasons behind many diseases are still not completely understood by modern medical science.

2. Limitations of modern medical science

It is important to understand the causes behind any disease for obvious reasons, like curing the disease; it is equally important to understand why one person out of two gets ill, where both of them had an equal chance of catching the disease. Modern medical science explains a lot about the first point, but is at odds to say much about the second point. Many a time in Allopathy, treating a disease means treating the symptoms or signs of the disease. Therefore, for many of the diseases, even after the symptoms have been suppressed, one has to continue treatment throughout one’s life to keep them suppressed, without actually curing the disease itself. Then as there is no permanent cure, one has to endure the physical and psychological distress associated with the disease along with the side effects of the treatment.

3. Importance of spiritual healing remedies for better health

Āyurvēda the traditional Indian health system, recognises that the cause of disease can be at three levels, i.e., physical, psychological and spiritual. At SSRF, through spiritual research, we have identified that the predominant root cause of illnesses is spiritual in nature. In fact up to 80% of the root cause of why a person gets a certain disease is spiritual in nature. These spiritual reasons can include an individual’s destiny or karma, due to departed ancestors or negative energies (ghosts, demons, devils etc.). These spiritual reasons are specific to an individual. This is precisely the reason why one person out of two gets ill, where both of them had an equal chance of catching the disease.

Spiritual practice and spiritual healing measures are important tools to overcome illnesses where the root cause, most of the time, is spiritual in nature. As it is difficult to understand or realise the spiritual reason responsible for the disease of a person, a patient should continue with the usual prescribed medical treatment and along with it employ spiritual remedies. When an individual undertakes spiritual practice, one’s spiritual level rises and there is an intrinsic change in his spiritual constitution. It also has an effect on the mind and body. The benefit of this is an increase in protection from disease and other distresses arising out of it. For example, even though one can contract a disease, the physical and psychological distress suffered due to the illness is less when compared to a person not doing spiritual practice. Spiritual practice and spiritual healing measures not only helps to overcome illnesses but also helps to make a person’s mind spiritually purer and more selfless.

4. Importance of spiritual healing methods in the coming times

The world is currently in a stage of turmoil. Many Saints have predicted the possibility of a Third World War and unprecedented natural disasters in the next few years. As a result of this war there will be a scarcity of many basic commodities. Factories will close down and medicines will become unavailable. During that time, one will have to rely on spiritual healing measures and available alternative therapies to cure diseases. From this vantage point, learning and practising spiritual healing measures from now itself is important.
