I came upon this lovely Sufi saying the other day. I hope
you like it too. (There is a deep connection between the beautiful wisdom of
the White Eagle teaching and Sufi philosophy and I believe that White Eagle
himself was a Sufi teacher in one of his many lives.)
So many people seem to be going through particularly
challenging times in their personal lives at the present time. I am sure it is
part of the opportunity the new Aquarian age energy is bringing for learning
greater compassion and understanding of the lessons to be learned through
suffering. Although maybe we don't often actually get down on our knees to
pray, just the thought of doing so is very symbolic of simple surrender to the
Will of God and trust in the love and omnipotence of the Creator of the
world. Or, in the terminology White Eagle uses, to be on our knees is symbolic
of surrender and acceptance, and an inner saying of 'Not my will O Lord, Thy
Will.'
I find these words in our White Eagle book of prayer very
inspiring:
'Daily seek the presence of God. Remember every morning as
you wake and every evening as you go to rest, that you are held within the love
of your heavenly Father-Mother, and you will be upllifted and relieved of all
tension. Open your heart to the in-flow of that great Sun-life, till your whole
being, body and soul and spirit, becomes charged again and again with divine
Life flowing eternally from the heart of God.'
If we can do this after being on our knees in prayer, we
will indeed become shining lights to lift the hearts of many!
