Vision for Good



When I was in Denmark at the beginning of June for a Conference of our European Star Centres Leaders, I was very aware of Grace Cooke, the founder of our work. She had very bright and sparkling brown eyes. (In fact in the early days of her work with White Eagle he called her ‘Brighteyes’.) She reminded me of the Biblical saying ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish’. As she spoke inwardly to me, I could see again so clearly her lovely eyes twinkling with loving understanding, but also a fiery encouragement to be strong in our endeavours to hold the positive vision of the Star helping us create miracles.

White Eagle is constantly encouraging us to hold a positive vision for the world and our own lives. When I was asked recently if it is wrong to use affirmations for our own personal lives, I answered that I felt it was alright to do so as long as we use the qualifying words, ‘If it is according to God’s will and plan for my life’. I feel it is positive to keep affirming good and harmony, and indeed miracles filling our lives. This feeling of good coming and the harmony of God’s love flowing through all we experience, brings a deep feeling of peace and wellbeing which must also touch the lives of all those around us. Positive affirmations encourage the light of God, the Christ, to arise within us. As White Eagle says in Initiations on the Path of the Soul:  ‘We think that there are a great many people today who have unknowingly reached the stage of being “poor in spirit”. If so, they all have a great work before them, not necessarily to be accomplished by teaching or preaching from a platform or pulpit, but by putting the power of Christ into their everyday life. With Christ anything can be accomplished. The mistake that so many people make is to depend on their own power. For the secret is to enter the heart chamber, the inner well, the place of tranquillity and stillness, and there pray; in other words, to stand on one side and let the God-power work through the medium of the body, mind and soul. Then there is nothing that cannot be accomplished because whatever is done is to the glory of God. Any soul able to commune with God is ready to manifest God.’

I feel these inspiring words help us to realise that all things are possible. As White Eagle also says (in his much loved book, The Quiet Mind): ‘To think you are no good, is to doubt God’s power. Never doubt the power of God to work through you.’
