Love is the only answer

‘Apply love by your inner attitude towards any human problem. Put aside the reasoning mind. Let divine love operate in you. From your inner self give God’s love, and you will be surprised to

find that every problem will be solved; every knot loosened.’ (White Eagle in ‘The Quiet Mind’)

When we listen and see the news reports about the violent happenings in Paris,

and all the repercussions, it could be easy to feel hopeless about there ever being a long-term resolution to all the issues involved.

Whatever is going on in the world, I always try to hold fast to my absolute belief that there is an answer and that in spite of everything, humanity is making progress towards greater understanding between nations, religions and different cultures.  I believe that whatever the problem, violence is not the answer.  I think all the coverage of the centenary of the First World War has made this abundantly clear.  What has also been made clear is the deep lessons which are learnt as a result of the terrible happenings of war and indeed of violence.  That glorious picture of the sea of poppies outside the Tower of London at Remembrance time must have touched millions of hearts.  Somehow those beautiful poppies are indeed a symbol of great hope for the future and hope for the new generations growing up in the world now.  Just today there has been the news coverage of one and a half million people of all ages, all religions and all ethnic backgrounds coming to Paris to walk side-by-side in brotherhood for all they believe to be right and good.

I have recently been re-reading White Eagle’s words printed in his book The Light Bringer, in a little section entitled ‘Hope’.  I share these with you today  ‘We give you hope. You are marching forward; the earth plane, the earth planet as a whole, moves forward with its whole being towards becoming itself like a sun. Earth’s humanity has awakened, and slowly, almost imperceptibly, humanity responds and raises itself, even as a child stirs in the womb. The earth is surely moving towards its own birth: it will become spiritualised, so that its very crust, its outer substance, is changed and transcended. In the same way, human life moves towards such a birth. It moves into glory, into freedom. Every experience brings to humanity growth towards spiritual consciousness. Nothing is wasted in life; no experience whatever. However hard the lessons have been for you, and maybe at this moment are, may it comfort and inspire you to be told that they are worthwhile. Humanity makes progress. It does not regress, and every method used to bring about its birth into the spiritual life is necessary. Look out upon the world as it is with tolerance and love and hope. There is no death! Progress, progress, progress—growth, a life-force ever moving onward into the Sun! Hope!’

The power of the Star is quite magical, and White Eagle is calling upon all his friends to be steadfast in positive thought and in the work of sending out the light of the Star at 3,6,9 and 12 every day (or as often as you can remember).  Whatever the media reports, don’t allow negative thoughts to take over your everyday mind.  The power of the Star helps us all to connect to our higher minds which know that there is no power greater than God’s power, and eventually all the tensions will be resolved and humankind will have taken great steps forward in tolerance, forgiveness and true brotherhood.
