This time of year, as the nights get long, and the days
short and often dark, (here in the Northern Hemisphere), it is a
traditional time for thinking of the other world, and of course
Halloween has now become a noteable date for many children and young
people.
The Diwali Festival in the Hindhu religion and All Saints in the
Christian tradition fall at this time, and are followed soon after by
Remembrance day, when nations remember all those who have lost their
lives in war.
For those with esoteric knowledge, it
is a time when the Sun is in the sign of Scorpio, the sign of hidden
secrets, and the mystery of life, death and what lies beyond. In the
book 'Festivals and Celebrations', White Eagle tells his readers, 'We
pray that your inner vision may open to the company of shining ones,
friends, brothers and sisters of your spirit who draw close to you at
the festival of All Souls.'
My mother, Joan
Hodgson, passed on into the world of light on 8th October 1995. Although
this is nearly twenty five years ago now, I still have a vivid memory
of this time, and her joy as she approached her 'death' and, as she
said, 'going home' - looking forward to her happy reunion with her much
loved husband and partner in White Eagle's work, John, my father.
As
I was walking beside the sea, at the time of her passing, just a couple
of weeks ago, I was very aware of her walking beside me (as she used to
do, in this favourite place we both love). She looked (and is) so young
and happy and full of vitality - not at all like the ghosts which are
portrayed as part of halloween!
Your loved ones can come very close to
you too, especially at this time. It is not the gift of just a chosen
few to feel this! White Eagle encourages us all to open our inner eyes,
our inner senses, and believe. It is true - really, 'Where there is love
there can be no separation'.
