This book of teaching has been specially compiled for people who are unwell, who fear illness, or who are caring for the sick. White Eagle says that, hard though illness is, from a spiritual point of view it is a manifestation of growth, even of initiation. There is thus comfort to be found, always. The joy of the White Eagle teaching is that while White Eagle shows that sickness is used for the growth of the soul, he also reaches out in loving empathy to bring comfort and hope to the sufferer.
