In this ground-breaking book, Colum Hayward invites the reader to follow him on a most revealing and transformative journey into the experience 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 plenty of personal problems and difficulties, and enabled him to discover a deeper meaning behind daily events.

In the light of this, Colum uses simpl everyday language to portray what it is like to feel and act upon White Eagle's guidance, making the teaching very practical and personal for the reader.

Far from being remote being, White Eagle is brought to us as a dear and loving friend who simply reflects our own inner creative voice. He is made one of us - more real and alive, he is without judgement or criticism - he simply is.

The traditional view of the 'Spiritual teacher' is maintained, with all it's dignity abnd poise - but it also transformed into siomething more dynamic, down to earth and 'reader-friendly'. The sacred things of the spirit are made real by removing any veil of 'untouchable nicety'. Colum cuts through old dogma and offers a refreshingly different perspective on what it is like to work with a Spiritual teacher - pure magic !

The work of White Eagle Lodge is clearly explained - from its beginnings, with its symbolism and daily routines put into practical perspective. This is an inside but objective view of the White Eagle work. With such subjects as sex and sexuality, creative thought and self-healing, this book gives a revealing and strikingly honest account of what it is like to follow the White Eagle path. 

The author puts it simply when he tells us 'White Eagle's teaching is one of happiness'. How appropriate this is for us as we learn the see with eyes of the spirit.
