Their 'ashram' at the inner etheric level is in the Himalayas. Their work is to help people of all religious paths live in greater peace, harmony and understanding of the perfection of God's plan for life on earth.
The title is from White Eagle's own words in Grace Cooke's book meditation. For the sayings fall into groups arranged round each of these qualities in turn, to help us to face with courage and wisdom those trials of everyday, both great and small, which come to test us, whether we ring true. White Eagle speaks, not from a remote height, but as one who himself trod this way when on earth, through many, many lives.
He speaks with authority, but with real and tender love and understanding; often with humour, always constructively, never critically. If we can follow where he leads, each one of us can at least find strength and comfort in tribulation. At most, we shall find perfect happiness. Let us never forget however that we do not walk alone, for, as White Eagle says, 'If the veil could be drawn aside, you would indeed feel happy and thankful to know that by the power and through the will of God, the spiritual beings come close to help you on your upward climb.
Your spiritual teacher and guide knows your every aspiration, every difficulty that you endure. Your guide knows your innermost need, and will comfort you and lead you into green pastures and beside still waters. By your love, by your belief in God's love, your belief in love itself, you can create the bridge across which we come to you. Think of your Master as being very natural, very loving and simple. The more simple you are yourself the nearer you will be to realization of his or her nature.
He smiles upon you, and often his eyes twinkle with tender humour. When you think of him, remember the twinkling eyes, the tender humour and the wise understanding! For God is love, and he that loveth knoweth God and doeth what God wills; to him all things are possible. Have patience and keep on working for God. To God you are not the weak and erring child of earth; God holds you ever in thought as the perfect form, the Christ man- woman, created in God's own image. We, your companions and guides, are on the road by your side.
Not one of you stands alone. You have only to ask in simple trust, and you shall receive; whatever your need, it shall be supplied. To love is to live in God. Loving is activity in God, so that every thought and action is in God—not in the world.
The one sustenance, the great sustaining power all human kind can receive, is strength from God. If you are sick in body, weary in mind, despondent and hopeless, turn your thoughts away from yourself.
Turn your thoughts and your prayers and your praise to God; focus your whole heart and mind upon God. Never waver, never falter, hold fast to belief in the Great Spirit; and in God's light you will find that every need of your life will be met.
Be true. This is the essence of the spiritual life. The note of the spirit is sounded on the higher planes, and the knocks you receive in everyday life are to test you, whether you can ring true. To ring true you must always sound the note of God, or good, which is within you. How often have we said, 'Keep on keeping on'?
This means constantly pulling yourself up to the mark; it means a constant contact with your higher self, a putting aside of the claims of the lower self and a continual joyous giving, giving, giving to God, to human kind. You are spirit first and body last. Let your spirit so shine before all that they may see their Christ in you.
The first and greatest claim upon you is the claim of God, or of your spirit; or, in other words, your highest self. Your true self is a shining spirit.
You must be true to that shining spirit above all things. Let nothing draw you aside from your soul's pursuit of truth and light and eternal love. The way to pray is to put yourself into complete attunement with the spirit of love.
Be in it, live in it. Think not of yourself and of your earthly need, but of God. Of yourself you are nothing: but when you dwell in the centre of the Star, or that heavenly light, you become great because you are then consciously with God and God is with you; and all things work together for good when you are with good or with God.
Every soul has to withstand great pressure and to be well tested. Supposing the Master called upon you to do an important piece of work which was going to involve many souls; and supposing you had not been tested and proved?
It is possible that you would break down under the stress of the work. We are telling you this in order to help you in your endeavours to follow the path of light, with all its testings and disappointments.
Such a glorious opportunity stretches before each one of you. The trivialities of every day, the disappointments and the petty annoyances and the hurts which you allow yourselves to receive from daily life, are all very small; but you yourselves allow them to seem very big. Let them recede, concentrate your whole being upon the love of God. Be His child, Her child! Surrender your self-will to the divine will. Children, there is no death, and there need be no weariness of the flesh.
There is no weariness when the soul has entered into the full glory of the Sun, the Almighty One. May all tiredness and weariness be dispelled by the inflowing life- giver, the Sun! If instead you will turn to worship God with all your heart and soul and mind, all the cares of mortal life will be dissolved, because they will have no part in you, no abiding place in your heart.
The Christ in you can deal in a masterly way with these perplexities. Walk each day in childlike faith, with your hand clasped in the hand of your Master. That hand is the hand of truth, it is security, it will never fail you.
People of earth may fail you, but never your Master. If you can keep your certain, sure contact with God, nothing can go wrong in your life. You have no need to worry about decisions whether to do this, that or the other. Your decisions will be made for you, but you must be awakened to the spirit, quickened in spirit, so that you will instantly respond to the gentle guidance of the almighty presence within you. Follow the light as it breaks in your own heart; obey the voice of your inner spirit, do those things which you know are right.
The power which comes when the heart is set upon God can reverse negative to positive, darkness to light; the inflowing of the light will produce perfect health because it will produce harmony. Centre your whole thought upon the spirit of the Lord Christ, the gentle Master.
Then the weariness of the flesh will fall away from you, because by your own inner effort you are transmuting those dark atoms into light.
If you could live always in the light you would need no healing from outside: the light itself would heal you. At all times keep in your heart the thought of the presence of Christ; remember His ever- peacefulness and calm amidst the turmoil of worldliness. You who are His disciple must ever seek to find the place of quietude and sweetness in the midst of the crowd. It is easy in solitude to be close to Him, but you must learn to become aware of your Master, despite the crowding of the multitude.
One of the first lessons of an aspirant, one of the points of brotherhood, is to overcome egotism; then the flowers of the spirit bloom and you have your saint. A saint is human, is understanding; a saint is able to enter into all the feelings, the joys and the sorrows of another.
A saint is all love. But they judge not; they only love, with deep compassion and wide understanding. Remember this, and pray that a love such as theirs will fill your heart, so that you look upon all people with the same gentle loving kindness as the Brethren of the Light regard you. If the action of another irritates you and you chafe under a sense of injustice, do not try to attack, even in your thoughts, the one who appears to have offended.
Have you not given yourself to the Master of Love? There can be no compromise; your way is clearly shown. It is the way of love, gentleness, peace. The emotion of real love is Light, and if we think of the suffering in the world with compassion, as we imagine Christ thought of it, we can send forth a great light which will find a resting place in the heart of the weary and the sad and the sick, and will in time create a new life, a new body.
When you come up against a difficulty and there is confusion and misunderstanding, go into your innermost sanctuary. Seek the presence of the gentle Christ, and ask what He would do in the circumstances in which you are placed.
Cast your burden upon the Lord. In other words, let go, surrender, lay down your problems. Do not try to unravel the knot, which gets tighter and tighter as you pull at it. Lay it down. As you surrender your will to God, and have faith and confidence in the love of God, so will that love be continually demonstrated to you and will work out in your lives. If you live in accordance with spiritual law you will harm no-one and no-one can harm you. The Master takes notice of your every effort to perfect the nature of love He understands your failures and your triumphs, and continues to pour His love upon you.
But there is much to learn in the lesson of brotherhood; bear in mind that love divorced from wisdom is no longer love. You must learn to distinguish between true, impartial and compassionate love, and emotionalism, which will sweep you off your feet and destroy love. This is love. Love is the solvent of all difficulties, all problems, all misunderstandings. Apply love, by your inner attitude towards any human problem. Put aside the reasoning mind. Let divine love operate in you. From your inner self give God's love, and you will be surprised to find that every problem will be solved; every knot loosened.
Be comforted. Your loved one is by your side. Death cannot separate you. Be comforted and at peace. When you come up against personal hurts, try to attune yourself to the heights, to the form of the Golden One enthroned in the blazing Sun. As you hold that vision, think of the one with whom you are at variance and a shaft of light will go to that person.
Then there will be a change in the position and all will go smoothly. In this way crooked places are made straight. The wise person does not argue, but remains silent and goes quietly on their path, concerned only with learning to follow in the footsteps of their Master.
Understand that you yourselves must work in your everyday life; it is your reactions to daily events and to the conditions of life that really bring about attunement, achievement. It is no good listening to White Eagle or to any other teacher unless you yourself work for self-mastery. The beginning of this work is your awareness of the still small voice within, of that gradually increasing light in you which causes you to react as a gentle brother or sister to all the conditions and all the circumstances of life.
You are all so apt to feel that you must have a return for your love, but the soul has to learn to give love. Love is an inward beauty which flows from the heart, from the life. Let love rule. There is nothing to fear except fear. Fear is your enemy and the last to be overthrown. Have no fear. Resign all to the wisdom and the love embodied in divine law.
Do your best. Let love rule your heart and life. Jesus said: Thou shah love thy neighbour as thyself. This does not mean selfishness; it means kindliness to yourself because you are God's child.
Do not give yourself more attention than you need, but take care of yourself and do not continually slay the God within you. Give opportunities in your daily life for the Christ within to manifest itself.
This is what we mean by loving yourself, and this is what Jesus meant when he said Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love peace of mind, love doing the right thing, love living according to divine law. To forgive is often difficult, my children; but with forgiveness release comes to the spirit; the soul that has been in bondage and perhaps stretched upon the cross of suffering no longer suffers.
And how, you ask, are we to walk the spiritual path? We answer: Say little; love much; give all; judge no-one; aspire to all that is pure and good—and keep on keeping on. You must learn so to act, so to live each day, that you are naturally, at all times, a being of love.
Love is not sentimentality. Love is seeing good, seeing God, recognizing the divine law of cause and effect working throughout all life. All these qualities are contained in the one word: love. Do not judge by what you see on the surface, but develop an inner vision and insight into spiritual cause and effect.
Then you will know that you can judge no-one. We shall do well to remember how much we ourselves need forgiveness, and to learn to forgive freely, judging no-one.
There is always something beautiful to be found if you will look for it. Concentrate on beauty rather than on the reverse. This positive, loving attitude towards life and people is all part of the divine magic which we are endeavouring to reveal to you.
Withhold judgment and criticism. The human way is to judge in haste the actions of others, but the divine way is to remain quiet and loving. You are divine as well as human, and are here on earth to learn to manifest divinity. The elder brethren labour ceaselessly for you and for all humanity. They do not get angry nor do they judge their younger brethren, because they know God's laws, God's plan for the unfoldment of the God within each one of you.
The young in soul are quick to pass judgment on others; but the elder brethren are patient; they do not expect too much. Instead, look in love and thankfulness on those with whom your karma has brought you into association. God in you makes all things new.
For then you begin to see beauty instead of ugliness, love instead of hate; to realize health instead of sickness. The world becomes fresh and new, as when after rain you can look out on an earth washed clean, and shining with the sunlight. Often you see only the rough practical exterior of another person. Strive always to find the princess hidden behind all the prickly growth in life. We all possess the light within; we all have that higher, that princess self. We should therefore deal with each other lovingly, always seeking the best, and encouraging beauty in every possible way.
You can purify your own physical atoms by right thinking, right speech, right action, right living, judging no-one; then, imperceptibly, will come a raising of your consciousness, a happiness of which you have not dreamed, and a gracious and gentle power will grow within you which will make all crooked places straight, and which will open your prison doors—even as the angel touched the door of Peter's prison and set him free.
Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. When emotions threaten to overwhelm you, just forgive, and all shall be forgiven, and God will bless you, my child. Have you ever thought what forgiveness means? You, your own self, your own personality, needs your forgiveness. Your spirit is divine, but until you have overcome, your personality remains human and needs the forgiveness of your spirit.
When you respect the soul of your brother or sister you respect their life in every way. This gentle spirit, this respect one for another, must come. For this is the generation of the one true light, and this true light is that of love. No great or good work is ever accomplished without patient preparation. Every detail of the soul's work must be perfectly done. So be patient in your work, patient with all the happenings of your daily life, and especially be patient with your companions.
Whatever ordeal lies before you, remember the Christ presence, for it will never leave you; it brings peace and courage. I am with you always.
When in doubt, do nothing. Learn to be still, my children, to be calm and still and wait for God; God will not fail you. You long for peace. You think of peace as being goodwill towards each other, goodwill among the nations, the laying down of arms. But peace is far more than this, it can only be understood and realized within your heart.
It lies beneath all the turmoil and noise and clamour of the world, beneath feeling, beneath thought. It is found in the deep, deep silence and stillness of the soul. It is spirit: it is God. Pray, 'Lead me, heavenly Father, show me the way'. But it is no good appearing calm outwardly while remaining a seething volcano inwardly. You must develop inner calm. Daily seek for that still centre within your soul which is the abiding place of the Christ-spirit.
You don't have to follow the rules anymore. Everything is up for evaluation. You see dogma for what it is, just stories that were made up by well-meaning people. But stories none the less. Not valid. Not true. Not real. Finally, you feel free. The invisible barriers disappear. This is what I want for you. This is the promise of Quiet Mind Epic Life.
