Taken by the Eagle

Beschreibung

Beginning in the UK, the book opens with a walk in the uplands of North Yorkshire. Finding an ancient stone circle, the narrator creates a spontaneous ceremony with chanting and prayers. She feels an intense longing for something that she cannot quite grasp. On the way home, helped by the trees growing alongside the path, she articulates her desire to contribute to taking better care of the planet. The story follows her subsequent wanderings, as she searches for the way forward through thoughts, dreams, meditative travelling and daily life. In time, the Eagle finds her and that could be ‘end of story’, but no, being consumed by the Eagle is a beginning. Carried by the Eagle and helped, along the way, by many other Beings (all of which, thanks to the vastness of expanding consciousness, are able to be experienced) a new set of concepts, more conducive to a joyful life, are brought into play in her. She travels to Australia to meet Joseph Rael, Beautiful Painted Arrow, mystic and visionary teacher of life as inspiration, and to participate in his Sun Moon Dance ceremony, being held there for the first time. While in Australia she travels to the Red Centre of that vast continent; a journey which brings the connection with the Eagle into physical experience. On her return to the UK, daily life goes into meltdown and she moves from the west coast of England to live in the north of Scotland. The awe-inspiring power of the Eagle reveals itself further in thunder, lightning and in rain, creating the Rainbow, a long-loved source of inspiration for countless generations. Colours are important in a world of visioning, and forty-four colour images, highlighting sections of the text, are included in the book. Also featured are the sounds for chanting, as given by Beautiful Painted Arrow, and descriptions of the ceremonies; all these practices are designed to bring personal vibration in line with planetary wellbeing. The story illustrates this process from the personal experiences of the author, but the book is not, in any sense, didactic. The intent is to inspire other people to explore these less visited realms. This colourful, oft-times bizarre, story describes things that happened; if you love to think about life and consciousness there will surely be something to intrigue and entertain you in this book.

Autor

In my late twenties, I became a single mother and, choosing to stay home to look after my baby, I became a self-employed seamstress. I spent the next 25 years earning a living for us then, quite suddenly, I found it necessary to reassess my future. It was not a choice, I suffered unexplained but short-lived bouts of severe pain, I was unnerved and found it necessary to look for solutions beyond the physical. My life of chasing money and the arrival of a highly sceptical partner had made it difficult for me to accept the jargon of the New Age and, having issues with being thought to be a fool, I spent a long time 'protecting' myself from it. But, something in me was, and is, stronger than that and it is not surprising the Coyote came forward as my animal guide, because the Coyote loves a fool. Despite my prejudices, in trance states I was amazed to access experiences and solutions not from any part of my mind that I was familiar with; I could not hold on to them consciously for very long, so I began the practice of recording them as soon as I returned. The stories recounted in my books are taken from these records. I use plenty of New Age concepts to describe my experiences; I do not want to create a whole set of my own jargon! I make few attempts to describe or analyse the phenomena, I give away the stories so that others might be inspired to embark on their own exploration of the worlds beyond the everyday, or just enjoy the stories for what they are. I grew up on a farm in Suffolk where I spent my early childhood knocking about with the farm labourers, as they were called then. They were the kindest, gentlest men who loved and tolerated me, shared their food with me, wobbled their loose teeth to make me laugh, lifted me up to ride on the cows' shoulders; their working clothes were ragged, pieces of string were tied round their trousers below the knees to stop the rats and mice running up their legs, their ear lobes were shrunk by frost-bite, their hands gnarled with work; they gave me the closest thing to unconditional love and that is why the Grandfather, the messenger of love of this book, was able to be visible to me. I am the author of several books covering exceptional experiences in altered-state work, experiences which can be loosely categorized as mystical, shamanic, and spiritual, when, in fact, they are quite accessible ways for anyone to find help and healing from sources within themselves. I am indebted to Beautiful Painted Arrow, Joseph Rael, for the visions and teachings he has given to help us make sense of our Time. I support his visions for a peaceful world, and run a couple of websites: www.peacechamber.co.uk; www.somethingdoeshappen.co.uk
