Hello All
Happy Friday to you!
The Eagles are soaring in our skies. They are magnificent!
Eagles have represented God, the Sun, Great Spirit, rejuvenation, wisdom, strength and sharp-sightedness for many cultures throughout the centuries. The Native American cultures believed that Eagle Medicine was the power of Great Spirit and represented our divine Connection to the All. Eagle medicine speaks of the ability to live in the realm of Spirit while remaining balanced and connected to the realm of Earth.
It was taught that the eagles were direct messengers from Spirit because eagles flew higher and closer to the sun than any other creature and therefore flew with Great Spirit. The honor of wearing an eagle feather in headdress or hair, or to use an eagle feather in healing was only given to the chiefs and shamans of the tribes. An eagle feather is considered one of the highest of healing tools. Eagles and their feathers are among the highest of Medicines.
In ancient Aztec tradition, the chief god told people to settle at a place where they find an eagle perched on a cactus eating a snake. This place is now Mexico City. Zeus changed into the form of the sacred eagle to help himself control thunder and lightning. The eagle was a strong emblem in the Roman Empire. The Hittites drew upon a double-headed eagle so that they would never be surprised. The Pueblo Indians associated the eagle with the energies of the sun – physical and spiritual – as well as symbols of greater sight and perception.
The ancient Celtic traditions taught that eagle and salmon were the oldest creatures on earth. Meditate with the great Eagle and you could learn the ancient knowledge and mysteries. The druidic teachings describe eagle’s many messages of renewal, strength and keen insight. The term ‘eagle’ eye stems in part from these traditions. As the eagle circles high in the air, he can see the ‘big picture’ landscape as well as the minute detail of the land below. An eagle will notice the baby possum crossing the field while watching the farmer sow his crop, as a flock of geese fly past him.
The Eagle is found in many Christian churches carved into their wood work and lecterns can be found shaped in the form of an eagle in honor of St. John, whose symbol is the eagle. The eagle has been widely recognized as a symbol of power and leadership. It represents strength in China and has become part of the lexicon and national symbology for both the ancient Roman empire and the United States of America.
I believe it is Godsign that such different cultures, all over the planet and across thousands of years have adopted the same symbol. Eagles see the bigger pictures of life being able to fly high above for much larger perspectives.
When an eagle appears, Creator may be using it as Godsign to honor you for being courageous and to suggest you stretch your limits. Perhaps you are not to accept the status quo, but rather are to reach higher and become more than you believe you are capable of. Perhaps the eagle is suggesting you look at your present circumstances from a new, higher perspective. Be patient with the present; know that the future holds possibilities that you may not yet be able to see. You are about to take flight in your life. Are you ready?
I could argue that it is only with the Grace of God and Great Spirit that a BIG picture of Global Unity, with all the billions of our Spirits working together, could be accomplished by humanity. Our Divine Creator will use pictures of eagles on TV, drawings and decals on trucks and t-shirts or license plates all around, to help remind you to SEE bigger pictures and beliefs than you “think” are possible.
Many of you reading this remember the moments when man landed on the moon. America was blessed and honored to have an American be the first to step down, but it was done for the world. On the 20th of July, 1969 – 48 years ago – Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. . . ‘the Eagle has landed’.
Imagine the ‘big picture’ concepts faced in 1969 by flying to the moon while making sure all of the billions of tiny details got done and were working correctly? And yet with all that intelligence and genius thinking, humanity has yet to really EMBRACE the Big Picture of our Spirits and the fact that we are all in this together.
The United States uses eagle symbology in just about every branch of government and military service. Eagles are seen holding olive branches, arrows or rolled up parchment to relate peace, war or diplomacy. It is profound Godsign to me that humanity’s farthest journey then – to land on the moon – would occur off a ‘lunar module vehicle’ called Eagle.
The first human to stand on the moon is named Neil (kneel) Arm strong. That is quite a name. The mission that brought the Eagle into the moon’s orbit was called Apollo 11 – combining the name of an ancient God and the master number 11.
The logo for the Apollo 11 Mission has a picture of a bald eagle landing on the moon’s surface with a small earth in the black background of space.
Neil stepped down on the moon’s surface on
July 20, 1969…. July – 7th month,
the date 7/20/1969 adds up to 34,
3 + 4 = 7….7th month on a 7 day,
1969 adds up to 25, 2 +5 = 7…..
7th month on a 7 day in a 7 year….
on 7th day He rested….
Godsign
Eagles may fly into your life to help you to see the importance of your big picture – as well as helping you with all the details that create the life in front of you. Eagles swoop into your days when God wants you to know your prayers are heard and you are being asked to fly with the Divine.
Our Creator will use eagles flying over your head as well as their icons, symbols, images and even pictures on license plates to remind you of Who is flying next to you at all times, throughout all your lifetimes, helping you to soar Up into all that is possible in your life!
“I Wish You Peace”
by The Eagles
I wish you peace when the cold winds blow
Warmed by the fire’s glow
I wish you comfort in the, the lonely time
And arms to hold you when you ache inside
I wish you hope when things are going bad
Kind words when times are sad
I wish you shelter from the, the raging wind
Cooling waters at the fever’s end
I wish you peace when times are hard
The light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your, your dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let love grow on,
I wish you the strength to let love flow,
I wish you peace when times are hard
A light to guide you through the dark
And when storms are high and your, you dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let let grown on,
I wish you the strength to let love flow,
I wish you the strength to let love glow on
I wish you the strength to let love go on.
From The Eagles album – One of These Nights – 1975
