We recently received a comment on our Facebook page which has
inspired me very much. The comment was: `Thank you for being there! Like a lighthouse in the darkness.`
Many years ago, talking in the London Lodge, White Eagle
likened our work to being a lighthouse in the dark years of the second world
war and the austere time which followed. The strong and constant light of a
lighthouse shines out through fog and storms to guide mariners to safety. The light
of White Eagle`s teaching and the ever-growing brightness of our shining star
symbol, is always there, like a lighthouse. It is built on a firm rock
foundation of the eternal truth of the ancient wisdom.
This wisdom of the ages
is unchanging in our world of ever changing technology and innovation.
When feeling buffeted by media storms and news of yet
another tragedy in the world, I find it helpful to contemplate the lighthouse
image and its symbolism. I have also started now to try to feel myself actually
being a lighthouse! So as well as having the image of the external lighthouse
shining out into the dark world, I try to feel in my own being the solidity and
safety of the rock foundation - strengthening my inner core of faith in God`s
perfect plan - and stand tall and shining through every outer gale....well that
is my goal!
