Our Call to Prayer



When I first heard the Islamic call to prayer on my first visit to Egypt many years ago now, it touched a very deep chord within my whole being. I believe I have had a number of past lives in Islamic cultures and I feel a close link with White Eagle in those times. One of the most obvious connections between White Eagle’s work and Islam is his own ‘call to prayer’ for us all at 3, 6, 9 and 12. Although in spirit we are told there is no time, in our earthly world we live with time. I find that to have a clear plan of when we can set aside time to remember God in our lives is very practical. It helps us bring a spiritual practice right into our daily lives. White Eagle calls us to prayer using the powerful symbol of a shining six-pointed Star. He tells us to see its rays touching the hearts and minds of people all over the world—at the hours of 3, 6, 9 and 12. Mohammed asks his followers to remember Allah—God—at the hours of sunrise, mid-day, mid-afternoon, sunset and evening.

With my deep heart love for Islam I am particularly sad to witness all the troubled times we are going through at this present time. Listening to a television news programme on Sunday about the murder of a U.K. taxi driver who was giving aid to refugees in Syria, I was heartened to hear one of our Christian Archbishops  saying that in spite of everything good might come from it. He said it could actually bring the local Christian and Muslim communities together, rather than separate them even more. What a wonderful, positive thought! Good to come out of tragedy.

White Eagle’s beautiful teaching also offers us all a way in which we can help foster deeper understanding between Christian and Muslim communities. There is so much beauty and wisdom in both religions and White Eagle’s teaching leads us to the deep inner truths in both. He also reminds us to  constantly hold in the heart of the Star all the conflicts in every country of the world, trying not to ‘take sides’ or make any judgements. Recently White Eagle has been giving me the image of the Star radiating a particularly beautiful soft pearl light. This pearl light contains all the healing colours of the spectrum and the Angels of the Star can use the exact tone and vibration  which is needed to heal every situation, however serious. The Pearl Ray has a special essence which touches both the heart and the mind. It helps heal deep seated pain in a unique way. It helps awaken the inner light in every sad and wounded heart.

In Healing the World White Eagle says:  ‘If you wish for good things in the world, if you wish to avoid war and conflict, try to learn to live peace and love and goodwill yourself and help others to do the same. Show the way by example and others will seek to find that something which you are manifesting in your life. Strengthen the spirit within you by daily attuning yourself to the world of light. Be tranquil, and know the peace of God and the joy of life, and you will be helping to raise the vibrations of all life and of the earth itself.’
