White Eagle’s teachings provide the reader with an esoteric and mystical picture of the life and ministry of Jesus. Jesus is a person who lived a life not unlike our own, but is also the perfect manifestation of the Christ spirit alive within each one of us. In this book Jesus takes on new significance: at one moment he is the eternal healer of our hearts and at another, a teacher of great vision, relevance and power. There are chapters on who Jesus was and is from a spiritual point of view; the outworking of divine law; the sayings and parables of Jesus. A major section of the book is given to a mystical interpretation of traditional Christian teaching. The book closes with a chapter, ‘In the Aquarian Age’, the age towards which Jesus’ teaching leads us. White Eagle brings a vision of the great healer and teacher whose simple love has been a universal inspiration—not only to those who work within the Christian tradition. This book is also a useful source of readings for services and for meditation. This second edition contains an improved text, an index and full references to all biblical material which makes it an excellent book for group or individual study.

These important teachings of White Eagle represent a full commentary on the most mystical of the four gospels, that of St. John. St. John’s gospel differs from the other three gospels in the degree to which Jesus describes the purpose of his work on earth and its meaning for the relationship of the individual soul to God. White Eagle makes clear that the Christ is the central life, or light, within each one of us and that Jesus traveled the same road that each of us takes. White Eagle says: ‘In the beginning of your existence you were light; and the light shone in the darkness—which is your dense body or the earth—and the earth comprehended it not. You are all familiar with this teaching, but you do not think of it as applying to yourself. You do not understand that in essence you are light, and that in the beginning you were light until you entered the physical body …’ This book is a very useful companion to the recently published book by White Eagle, 'The Light Bringer'.
