White
Eagle often reminds us that the divine ‘law of compensation’ means that
whatever the tragedy or heartbreak in our lives, there is always some form of
compensation. In the words of the old proverb ‘Every cloud has a silver
lining’. However, I think that sometimes it is truly hard to find the silver
lining in the midst of all the clouds. This is especially true of the big
stories which hit the news—for example the terrible earthquakes in Nepal, and
now the millions of refugees trying to escape from the horrors of their
homeland.
However,
I believe there are some ‘silver
linings’ even to this terrible happening. I read in a newspaper recently under
the headline ‘Hotel Welcomes Summer Guests with a Difference’ a story of a
hotel opening its doors totally to a flood of refugees and giving up all their
usual income to help these desperate people. What a wonderful and very
practical example of human kindness.
And
a friend wrote to me recently: ‘How immensely encouraging it has been to
see and hear the outpouring of sympathy, understanding and practical help given
to the Syrian refugees by those residents of the countries they are passing
through and towards which many are heading. This has all come from the heart and
regardless of any future practical challenges posed by an influx of immigrants
into their homelands. One cannot avoid associating these gestures as
contributing to the healing of national karma and confirming the advance
European peoples have made and are making towards international brotherhood and
unconditional love.’
I
recently came across these inspiring words of White Eagle’s given in an Inner
Teaching many years ago: We look upon the children of earth and see
the spontaneous kindness, the little thought, the little actions which are
Godlike. You may not realise that such gentleness is a Godlike expression
showing that that soul for the moment is expressing love, and God. The purpose
is for the life to become accustomed to spontaneously expressing kindness to
all—to animal, child, brother, sister, stranger—whatever the race, the cast, or
religion, let us be kind and recognise the God in our fellow, the spontaneous
expression of which is kindness and love; this is the key to all knowledge.

In
White Eagle’s philosophy whatever we are urging or doing on the outer plane,
where action is necessary, it is always vital to hold the situation of
suffering in the love of the Christ Star, knowing with deep faith that in the
end love is triumphant. We are not powerless, even in the face of
tragedy. So, let us hold in the glorious radiance and protection of the Christ
Star all those who have fled from conflict zones as refugees and are making
perilous journeys, and those in war-torn areas subject to bombings, oppression
and chemical warfare. We see all the Syrian people lifted into loving
embrace of the STAR and the blessing of the great angel of Peace. They
are comforted, protected and healed. The light of the Star reaches to
save and heal. Yes, and we also hold those who oppress and inflict
violence. All are within the influence and the inspiration of the blazing
Christ Star. Dear Friends, please join us in this inner work, as well as
facing the moral challenge of the crisis of Syria and her refugees each in our
own way.
