During the celebratory day Minesta reminded me of the time in 1966 when she first had the clear instruction from White Eagle that she had to go ahead and build a physical temple on the hilltop at New Lands, thus fulfilling ‘the plan laid long ago by the Illumined Ones behind this work’. In her everyday self she was really worried about the mammoth task she had been set. However were we to raise the money for building the Temple! She sought advice from professional fund raisers who told her that in building projects of this kind usually the money was raised by targeting a few rich donors, but she knew this was not the way we do things. Instead she followed White Eagle’s direction to write a simple appeal from her heart to all supporters of the work all round the world. As a result of this, many, many hundreds of little gifts came in, which together brought the vision of the heavenly temple to earth. It is lovely to think that our temple is built from the little gifts of many, many people—so there we are…everyone’s contribution to the light is significant!
I use my blog to write informally about everyday experiences, thoughts and insights arising from my work as spiritual mother of the White Eagle Lodge worldwide.
