Product Description
Colum Hayward takes the reader on a transformative journey - a description of working with a wise and loving spiritual teacher. The teacher is White Eagle. His guidance and wisdom have helped and encouraged Colum from an early age, through his own personal problems and difficulties, and enabled him to discover a deeper meaning behind daily events. In the light of this, Colum uses simple everyday language to portray what it is like to feel and act upon White Eagle's guidance. The book also tackles sexuality and gives a view of karma. The work of White Eagle Lodge is explained from its beginnings, with its symbolism and daily routines put into practical perspective. An appendix gives a reference to every aspect of White Eagle Lodge, including a reading guide to all the White Eagle books.

A new route to clearer vision....... June 9, 2004
This book combines wonderfully the spiritual and the intellectual--the heart and the mind. A personal account of Colum's own transformative journey through personal difficulties into "absolute happiness." Learning to live the message that White Eagle gave humanity through his grandmother, well-known medium Grace Cooke in the 1930's, Colum acknowledges there is a "subtle counterpoint between what a teaching says and how it can be lived out."
White Eagle teaches that "the whole point of human life is to bring love into every possible human situation. Jesus displayed "one of the most perfect examples of divine love" when he took on Judas Iscariot's karma, so that he might return love for hate. Colum reminds us that love by definition includes this capacity for tolerance. In order to become non-judgmental he suggests it may be necessary for us to look with different eyes, to view things from a changed perspective, to see with "the eyes of the spirit." This is particularly pertinent today when we are urged to break away from constructs that attempt to rigidly define us.
"Seeing with the eyes of the spirit," writes Colum, "acknowledges that we go of our own choice into a vast array of life-experiences (including illness) for growth--and even for a greater cosmic purpose." Colum feels the word "acceptance" has become a passive word. Instead we need to embrace all that life holds. Applying the spirit vision to everything and everyone brings positive change in our lives. Healing is essentially a process of change from one condition or awareness to another. Refusing to see is the true cause of depression. "If we look with new vision at the concept of time--which White Eagle tells us is not real--and attempt to live in the Now, the happier we're likely to be. Spontaneity is akin to living in the present. When we create we are always living in the moment. This is what meditation helps us do, move into the present."
Eyes of the Spirit is not just an honest account of one man's journey, it is also an interesting history of the White Eagle Lodge, illustrating convincingly that this is a worldwide family with interfaith connections, its membership stretching across the world, its books translated into over fifteen languages. It is a book that causes us to think and feel at the same time, and offers us a new route to clearer vision.
