Eagle telling

[Cristian Eagle Schwagel]

Eagle

“I like the name Eagle. Eagle means much to an American Indian…

“The eagle knows the freedom! The eagle knows the flight! The eagle lives where there are only the wind, the sun, mountains, fathomless precipices, and — the freedom!…

“The eagle is born free and dies free! He is born to fly, to live his life soaring over mountains! Uniting his wings with the wind, the eagle gains that power which allows soaring!…

“And when death comes — the eagle knows beforehand the time of its coming. He rises high to the sky, for the last time, — and casts off the flesh unneeded from that moment on. The eagle continues living in the spirit, soaring above the tops of mountains illuminated by the rising sun!

“… I like the name Eagle. The Warrior of Spirit can be likened to an eagle! He is born to live free and to die free! In his life, he unites the Wings of Spirit with the Power of the Creator — and learns to soar over the world of matter, being guided and supported by this Power. He soars through the current of Eternity, and the Power of God manifests Itself through his body. He glides in the Infinity and Eternity of life, bound by nothing but Love, which unites him with the Power!

“… The Warrior of Spirit knows the time of his death and casts off the flesh, needed no longer, a moment before his body would die due to other reasons.

“Yet, the Warrior of Spirit can achieve more: uniting the Power with his body, he can turn matter into Spirit by igniting the Fire from within!”

“Eagle, teach us please the language which could appeal not to ‘romantic women’ but to souls who are ready to receive great initiations!”

“Mountains speak the language of silence. Through their greatness they express their essence!

“With the flight of freedom speaks the wind to those who have spread their wings!

“With souls ready for Higher Initiations, God can communicate without words. It speaks to them with His Touches! And when such a soul partakes of the Unity, it begins to aspire to the permanent Mergence.

“The words are needed not more than the murmuring of streams, than the whisper of the surf or rustle of the wind through the leaves.

“When God speaks to a soul walking the Path, He speaks the language whose words are but a reflection of the Great Love between the soul and God!

“… One can submerge a mature soul into the Abode of the Creator with the help of your methods in one month or a little more…

“But to smelt, to remake, and to grow souls who are young, to teach them to be one with Me, shedding the clothes of egocentrism, overcoming the human form — this requires years of arduous efforts. It can be likened to carving a sculpture out of a block of marble: one has to chop off everything unnecessary — and then there remains only the clear Atmic Essence — the Higher Self.”

“Eagle, tell us please how did You perceive Yourself when You were incarnated among American Indians.”

“My body was filled with the Power. To Me, there were no insuperable obstacles. I regarded all obstacles just as something to overcome!

“In My incarnations, I was never absorbed in the problems of ‘earthly’ life. I never ‘reduced’ Myself, as many people do by getting bogged down completely, i.e. with the whole consciousness, in a situation of an ‘earthly’ problem and thus ‘jailing’ themselves in this situation.

“The expanse was My ‘home’ — from the state of expanse and totality I performed My deeds.

“I never fell into the trap of illusion that the ‘earthly’ plane was the only world where I lived. For Me, this world existed only on the surface of the boundless Ocean of Beingness. The Life of the Ocean was My true Life. From there I acted.”

“But how did You manage to live in a body and to retain, at that, the awareness of Divinity?”

“I never reduced Myself from being the Ocean — to the ‘earthly’ life alone, never deluded Myself by making various ‘earthly’ situations My only ‘space of existence’.

“You switch your awareness from Me to the ‘earthly’ life when a particular situation or problem becomes to you more important than life in Me. Then this situation seizes your attention, and you get drawn into it with the consciousness.

“If you want to take the consciousness off the problem, just direct the look of the consciousness from your anahata backward — to My Infinity — and submerge into It.

“Interacting with the material plane, do not regard yourself the person you were formerly: a small man involved in the worldly affairs! Strive to retain the awareness of My Beingness! I gave to you the expanses of nature not to make you feel small amidst it but to help you feel how large you are!

“When I perform My deeds on the Earth, they reflect My Unlimitedness rather than ‘floundering’ in the sea of worries.

“… Every anahata developed to the Divine level is a hole leading into the Depths of Me, i.e. to the ‘bottom’ of the depth of the multidimensional space. In principle, through every such a ‘hole’, one can enter My Depths and cognize Me. It is also important to know how to expand, having passed through such ‘holes’. This is the basis of everything, as every one of you knows.

“… Also understand: I am not dependent on any outer conditions, whatever they are. Everything lives and develops inside Me!

“Behold My controlling Hand in every event and accept My Will, without leaving the state of Mergence with Me! This is the way to cognizing the Oneness of everything existing in the universe.*

“… And one more thing: you have to create new ‘nests’ where My nestlings can grow and then become Eagles! This is your task!”

… An early morning in autumn can be wonderfully calm and transparent! The morning freshness and purity around us is filled with tender light of the sun and gold leaves of autumn birches and aspens. We are going to visit Eagle on one of His favorite working sites in the forest…

… I enter it and… fall into infinite Light! There are no boundaries: Infinity! Expanse! Freedom! I do not perceive myself as a body any more! I am a pure consciousness consisting of Light-Love! Immediately I get the feeling of wings — it is Eagle taking me into His giant strong Hands and helping me to spread my arms-wings. He supports me while I am trying to start to fly.

I alternate flying in the infinite Light — with dissolving myself in Him…

“Tell me, Eagle, why is this sensation of flying so familiar to me? In childhood, I flew in my dreams, but then — as if my body was fettered: I could not rise, could not fly! But now You give me this blissful joy again!”

“In the depth of every correctly developing soul, there is a memory about the Freedom. And the Freedom can be likened to flight — flight to the unknown. It depends on how deep this memory is and on the strength of soul’s aspiration to the Light. After all, in order to rise, to take off the ground, the look of the soul has to be directed to the sky!

“Do you know from where the wings of birds grow? They grow from anahatas! To rise, to soar high, one has to have wings, and to have wings one has to have an anahata! The wings are an instrument by means of which one can rise and glide over the world of matter, but the carrying power is the power of love!

“One must also learn to merge with all the infinite Light of the Creator, abandoning one’s separateness and becoming Him — the Living Consciousness of God! And this can be done only with a consciousness consisting of Love.”

… I merge with Eagle, submerge into Him completely and dissolve: there is no me, there is only Him! Or I can fly with the help of the arms-wings of the consciousness! Love and power, united together, spread the wings! Infinite Bliss!

… Eagle begins His next lesson…

Behind my back, there are large wings made of subtlest light.

Eagle teaches:

“Feel yourself one with these wings! Unite with them! Feel their strength!

“When your wings strengthen and you are not afraid of winds, your flight will be the flight of Power and Freedom.

“This is My gift to you — the wings of light. Become aware of them, accept them, and fly!*

“You do not have to be afraid of anything: all the Infinity is Me!

“You cannot fall anywhere because all space is filled with Me!

“Become aware of My omnipresence! Submerge into Me!

“The only sacrifice that you have to make is your limitedness. Erase the boundaries of the individual ‘I’ and realize all the greatness and power of My Freedom and Love!”

“Eagle, will You please tell about Your past? How did You grow from an ordinary human to Divinity?”

“I attained Divinity not on the planet Earth. I came to the Earth being already an Avatar — a Son of God. As other Sons of God, I came to the Earth in order to serve the Evolution on this planet, young at that time. My territory is North America; I incarnated there several times among Indians.”

“Eagle, how did You teach Indians cognition of God? I always respected Indians, considered them strong and noble.”

“Among them there are very different souls… But the quality which all Indians develop from childhood is living in accordance with the laws of nature.

“Indians are an ancient civilization, and their worldview in those old times was quite different from the modern one. I taught them to perceive the world as One Whole Organism. I taught people to respect every life, taught them to live and to act on the Earth impeccably, without disturbing the harmony, balance, and beauty of the environment. From childhood, an Indian learned to listen and understand the world around — the sun, the stars, the wind, the forest, the rivers, the lakes, the animals… Indians learned to follow the laws of nature in their life; they understood that by violating these laws one causes unnecessary pain to the living.

“Teaching Indians was easy! They, in contrast to the modern Europeans, did not ‘imprison’ themselves in stone houses, were not ‘shackled’ by dogmas about the structure of the world. Indians felt themselves an integral part of nature; their home was the boundless forest, rocky mountains, blue lakes, waterfalls. The state of mergence with nature was very natural for them!

“Crossing a river on a pirogue, walking forest trails, Indians felt themselves one with the wind, water, mountains, birds… Since their young age, they knew that the body is but a small fragment in the world of matter, that it is not more important than pines swaying in the wind, than clouds floating in the sky, than squirrels frolicking in trees or fishes swimming in waters.

“How did I teach them? In the way the same as I teach you. I taught them to fly! Also I taught them not to follow only one’s own power, but first of all — love and wisdom.

“Gradually, as disciples matured, I showed them that the world of matter is not everything that exists, that the picture of One Whole World is much richer. And if there were those who walked steadfastly the Path of Love and learned to create beauty and harmony with every act, I took them with Me into the flight to the World of Spirit — by taking them out of their bodies.

“And they began to see that everything around is pervaded with Light; they learned feeling themselves one with this Light. It took years to master this; for some disciples — lives.

“Not everyone but only brave ones who were ready to go further to the Unknown could come to the next step — ‘a jump into the abyss’. I did not have to seek places of power for this: I could create such a place by My power of the Consciousness.

“And at a certain moment, I opened wide the ground in front of those brave — and rose from the Fiery abyss as a shining Fiery Divine Eagle. In this way, I opened with Myself an entrance into the Abode of the Highest Spirit, into the world of the Divine Fire!

“Only those with a pure heart, who were not afraid of the Fire of the Creator, jumped There.

“And they who jumped never came back as they were before; they returned from this Fire renewed — returned to gather their strength — and jump again.

“And some day, impeccable disciples made their last jump and became consumed completely by the Fiery Consciousness of the Creator. Thus, from age to age, new Sons of God were born in the Indian land.

“… I came to the Earth many times — because otherwise people would lose the Path to the Freedom, the Path to Me! I dressed My Spirit with a material body and came here. I explained by this that I am real, that I am cognizable!

“All the Infinite Power that I can manifest with Myself — is God! When you lose your confidence in Me, you lose the connectedness with this Power; but My Power is always ready to be merged with you!

“You must submit yourself fully to the Will of God and have absolute confidence in His Power, which is present in you as well. If you do not believe in My Power, which can be manifested through you, you cannot perform anything great, you cannot help seriously anyone!”

“Eagle, I would like very much to give people something from You!”

“Give them the sun! Give them the rising of the sun over the earth!

“Give them also the Fire!

“There is the fire of a home hearth; there is a campfire; their flame warms bodies…

“But you should give them the Fire brought by God to the Earth — the Fire of God’s Love, the Fire of the Heart!

“Give them the sky and Heaven! Give them the boundless blue of the sky and the clouds illuminated by the rising sun, resembling a trace of My Wings!

“Give them My Depths!

“Give them the Mountains! The Mountains whose tops reach for the sky and whose bases rest in the Depths of the universal Divine Ocean!

“Give them the Freedom! Give them, at least, the knowledge that there is the Freedom, that it is possible!

“Give them the Wings and the aspiration to fly with Me, to Me!

“Give them My Love!

“I can teach you an unbending will and unswerving intent of the Warrior of Spirit, whose main goal is to attain the highest Freedom: the Freedom to cognize God, the Freedom to stretch the wings of Love, the Freedom to dissolve oneself in the Ocean of My Beingness!

“I offer My help to you every day and every hour of your lives! Call Me when outer difficulties become too hard — and I will come to you with all the infinite power of My Love!

“Be aware of the Flight of Freedom! He who has become a Heart soaring in the Ocean of God, growing and living in interaction with Me — to him the Path of growing into Me becomes open!

“… By the way, White Eagle* is not a myth. It was God Who once again came to the Earth in order to bring the Fire of the Heart to people and to open for them the way to Heaven — the Way of Freedom! This is a Gift of the Heavenly Father to people!

“Everyone can accept this Great Gift! Everyone can possess it! — but… only if one gives it to others!

“… The Freedom is near! I open the Shining Path to it — the Path of impeccable Love!

“… I will rise over the earth together with the sun… Come to Me! I appoint the meeting at the dawn. I will teach you the kindling of the Heavenly Fire — the Fire of Love! I will rise with the sun as many times as necessary; I will do this always!

“I will wait for you on the way to Home!

“I will walk nearby showing you the Path!

“And when you arrive There where there is only I, the Sun of God will obtain one more ray.

“Then You, too, will be able to rise together with the sun — You will become a Young Divine Chief, and I will add another feather to My headdress…

“I am waiting for you!…”

I'm counselor and lecturer of the theosophical society - Centre Study NorthStar Trieste - Italy

I know this about you have lost your focus...but now it's the time to reborn ...all it's possible , we have a great opportunity ! I' m in connection with native people...even if i'm not native ( in this life ) .

[Teresa Hernandez]

I study and learn and teach about many religions, cultures and philosophy. I am a teacher and a peace activist. I am open to the message that we are connected from birth but lose our place in life over time because we lose our focus.I am a believer that we are able to re-connect and find our way by each new relationship we attempt to create. I enjoyed your message of the Native American spirit. My own grandmother Ramona was Apache/Comanche. She reflects the nations of both conqueror and conquered nations. This reflects our own personal quest to find a balance in the world between the warrior and the peace maker. Can we not be both? A warrior for peace. The Eagle is sacred to many cultures and countries and religions. It is the mascot of our elementary school, George Mayne in Alviso, California. We teach the students to soar high like the Eagle. We ask them to be noble and brave.
