White
Eagle says in The Quiet Mind : ‘If everything goes wrong, just laugh! Just
let it have its fling. Let it go, but keep your vision upon God, and know that
all will come right. All will come right—that is the truth.’
I
love this saying of White Eagle’s. A sense of humour can help us so much in the
difficult times in life which come along for us all. Reading White Eagle’s
teaching does not always convey his wonderfully practical humour which was, of
course, more evident for his listeners in the days when he spoke at public
services through my grandmother, Grace Cooke. I was fortunate to grow up close
to her and had many experiences of him helping his listeners see the funny side
of things. His humour has not gone away! Nowadays, when mostly his speaking is
to each individual in the silence of our hearts (as we read his words), he can
still make a joke or help us see the funny side of things. Laughing is
wonderfully therapeutic!
When
I see and feel White Eagle close (which is actually every day in my morning and
evening meditation times and often throughout the day too) what I love so much
is his enigmatic smile and the twinkle in his eyes. There is so much wisdom,
love and understanding in his face, but he is not giving very much away! We can
ask him a question and sometimes his answer pops straight into our minds, but
more often, I think, there is just that twinkle in his eye, and his wise smile.
He always encourages us to access the wisdom within our own being, to turn
within to the Christ Light and find the answer ourselves. This surely is the
Aquarian way. In Piscean times we looked to the priest, teacher, guru, medium,
to tell us the answer. Now we are finding our own spiritual strength, and
learning to listen to the wisdom in our hearts.
So,
if you ask White Eagle a question and you just see that lovely smile and
twinkle in his eye, don’t think he is not hearing you. He always hears every
sincere prayer, but maybe answers in unexpected and even humorous ways. He
knows that the challenging times are great opportunities for us to grow strong
in spirit and if he told us all the answers we could possibly miss out on the
chance to learn much needed lessons. But always, his deep compassion and
understanding is with us. He really does know what it is like to be in a
physical body and that humour will always help lift our spirits and feel the
sun shining through the clouds…… ‘The
stones which cut your feet as you walk the path of life have once cut ours’
he says. Yes, he does know!
