There is no death.........

Awakening is a welcome addition to the series of Wisdom teachings brought to us by White Eagle, now consolidated under one essential message: "There is no death."A multi-textual book, Awakening includes not only White Eagle's teachings on the subject of death and dying, but lists practical suggestions for easing these last moments on earth--exercises, meditations and affirmations--and relates some uplifting first-hand experiences of those facing death, living with the terminally ill and coping with bereavement. Anna Hayward's connecting commentary provides a comforting blanket, as she uses her experience as a counsellor to reinforce White Eagle's words and to aid him in helping people overcome their "mad fear of death."Divided into three parts: Life; Facing Death; Death & After, Awakening is a book primarily about consciousness. As Anna writes in her introduction, "Death is a change in consciousness, rather than an end."Learning to refine our physical bodies by becoming conscious of the spiritual light within, is the purpose of our lives on earth, says White Eagle. "When you have attained complete control over yourself and the forces around you, you will no longer die...everyone must live, and when the physical form has become perfectly disciplined and is properly treated and trained, it does not get disease and it does not die. The atoms are quickly reassembled. A holy person is truly a healthy person."Definitely a book for those of us living in a youth-oriented scoiety that likes to defer physical aging and death by ignoring their inevitabilty. Esepcially helpful for those who have an intellectual understanding that life continues after the physical body departs, yet who are overwhelmed by negative emotions when confronted by death--their own or that of someone dear.

A penetrating look at peaceful living and dying

Anna Hayward's writing is calm and clear, and full of light! An experienced counselor, she has included helpful and fascinating stories of loved ones who have passed on from this world into the next. White Eagle provides profoundly beautiful teachings from above through Anna's careful selection and commentary. I highly recommend this book.
