Spiritual Unfoldment #1 How to discover Invisible Worlds

What is the purpose of life? White Eagle's opening line in Spiritual Unfoldment #1 answers this philosophical question raised over the centuries: "The fundamental purpose of your life is that you may find truth." Religious battles have been waged over truth, and debates have raged around truth. Is truth universal or is it relative to time, place and culture? It is the question Pilate asks Jesus: What is truth?How significant that White Eagle, who advises us to avoid extremes and find harmonious balance, should tell us that truth is both universal and relative. "Truth always has more than one aspect and many paths lead to God." Elsewhere he has likened truth to a diamond. On one path we see one facet, on another path a different facet, but they are all part of the same diamond. Whichever path we choose it will lead to an aspect of truth.How do we find the path that is true for us? Not by debate or argument or by looking to outside authority. White Eagle tells us that "truth lies buried deep within your own inner self." In order to contact this source of truth within, we must first learn to release ourselves from the physical limitations of the material body and gently unfold that spiritual eternal life. Spiritual Unfoldment #1 is White Eagle's basic guide book to realizing the God within. It is the first in a series of four books. Its title so aptly describes the gentle process of awakening that occurs within, like the opening of a rosebud or the natural unfurling of butterfly wings. In the nine chapters he assures us that "a glorious future awaits each soul, but it entails hard work."An important way to unfold spiritually is through meditation. Meditation is a discipline that keeps the mind focused, yet prevents it from becoming too narrow or constricted. It brings together all wisdom stored in the soul, making us aware of God within and helping that inner light grow. After a period of meditation "your innermost voice will speak to you, saying:"this is my path." But to hear that voice, we must first learn to become discerning and distinguish between the "real higher God-mind" and the "unreal, worldly mind."Meditation is not the only way to spiritual unfoldment. Anything which cultivates awareness of the beauty of God should be pursued, whether through literature, gardening, cooking or artistry. "All beauty, every emotion of joy and happiness is an expression of God." White Eagle suggests we become more in tune with nature and appreciate grey skies and rain as much as sunshine and blossoms, that we hear the voice of God, the sacred OM in a gale as clearly as in a gentle breeze. "Awakening the inner senses of life brings greater health to your physical body and an expansion of mentality, and an expansion of consciousness and spiritual realization."White Eagle's advice can help us at all levels. He assures us each one has come back into incarnation to develop a particular quality which will be built into our higher body. "If things are not exactly

Spiritual Unfoldment 2: The Ministry of Angels & Nature

Based on talks given by White Eagle and re-published with minor language revisions in 2001, Spiritual Unfoldment #2 is an important book for this age of Aquarius, for it offers a broader perspective on the meaning of brotherhood. Angels and humans are brothers and sisters, White Eagle tells us, "through their kinship of spirit." In eight chapters covering one hundred pages, Spiritual Unfoldment #2 gives us a panoramic view of the interconnectedness of the universe, beginning with the vibration of the Word which caused the Light, which in turn divided into seven rays of life, each guided by one of the Great Masters of Wisdom. "From each ray comes seven, so that behind and within the veil of physical life are countless hosts of beings, both of the human line of evolution and of the natural and angelic. The life within every growing thing is brought into manifestation, sustained and fed by these countless hosts."In recent years, humanity has grown to understand its causal impact on the environment and is realizing it does not live in total isolation from other species sharing our planet. White Eagle takes us a step further by disclosing that behind physical life there exists a spiritual counterpart with which we must live in harmony. "Don't be greedy, my dears," he gently chides, "why should humans be the only spiritual manifestations on the earth plane, and all other forms but empty shells?"Opening our imaginations to the colourful creations that inhabit the finer ether interpenetrating the elements of earth, air, fire and water, White Eagle introduces us to life-forms busy at work in nature, creating jewels and minerals within the earth, colouring flowers, inspiring our creativity. Their work complete, many of these life-forms eventually merge into the angelic kingdom, for all these nature spirits are commanded by angels influenced by one of the three major Rays from which all life comes: Wisdom, Love and Power. For some, Spiritual Unfoldment#2 may read like science fiction of fantasy, but White Eagle is aware of this scepticism. "Keep an open mind," he advises, "there is so much in heaven and earth which is undreamt of in earthly philosophy." Fairy tales, he says, contain gems of spiritual truth and devotes a chapter to the spiritual interpretation of familiar folklore.Angels have received wide popular acceptance over the past decade, yet much of the information has been misguided. White Eagle tells us angelic beings come from a different line of evolution than humans. Dispassionate beings, angels often have difficulty coming close to humans who have not learned to control their emotions. Although angels work closely with humans, essentially both belong to different lines and have distinctive roles. The prime concern of angelic hierarchies is with the evolution and the building of form, whereas the human concern is with the growth of spiritual consciousness within that form. Each line relies on the cooperation of the other. "The angels have to wo
