'When the world pushes you to your knees, you are in a perfect postion to pray.'


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!
