Thoughts for Mothers' Day

One of the many things I love about White Eagle's teaching is the clarity he has always given to the Mother aspect of the Creator. As a child I grew up praying to 'Our Father Mother God', and it has always seemed to me so natural and obvious that the Creator of all life has both aspects in equal balance. But there is something else which I find very important in his teaching about the Mother aspect, and this is that it does not matter whether we have incarnated this time around in a male or a female body, we all have mother qualities - like gentleness, caring and nurturing, which we can demonstrate in our lives and relationships. In our society, and in many cultures worldwide now, the Aquarian influence is starting to manifest clearly in the more equal part men are playing in the day to day care of their children.

So I believe that Mothering Sunday, which here in the UK is this Sunday 14th March, (and on different dates in other countries), can be a time for remembrance, prayer and celebration of the mothering qualities in us all, whether or not we are physical parents in this lifetime. In the special prayers we use in the White Eagle work for healing all world conditions, we pray that the influence of the Mother aspect of God, Divine Mother, will touch the intuitive hearts of men and women everywhere. This is my prayer this Mothering Sunday, (as well as remembrance of my own parents, who were wonderful role models of the caring qualities which I have tried to pass on to my own children).

And to complete these thoughts, I would like to share White Eagle's own words: a Meditation on page 75 of his book of meditation 'The Still Voice':

'Meditate on the angel of Peace, so quiet and still and very powerful, but all love. Her garment is the softest blue, like the sky, with a touch of rose pink and sunshine. It could almost be likened to mother-of-pearl. As you breathe in her influence, all care falls away, and your heart is stilled and stayed on God. As you breathe her influence out into the world, turbulent emotions are stilled, and a quietness comes into the hearts of human kind.'
