From the Aerie...

My apartment has a rather unique configuration.   It is in a building that faces onto a protected area of forest and wetlands in the city.    It is an area that humans are not allowed to be in.  The apartment is up a couple of floors so it has the feeling of being totally wild one side and modern society on the other.    It feels like an eagle’s or condor nest high on a mountain cliff.  It feels like an aerie.    Sparrowhawk in an eagle’s nest.   I like that idea.  Yesterday I wrote of the characteristics of Spiritual Masters.     I think I want to add something to those characteristics.  Spiritual Masters see everything all the time from a higher perspective.  They live in that vibration, that space that is their eagle’s nest, their aerie.   Being able to see things from a higher perspective means that you can see both sides to a story.  You get a larger perspective because you can see all around, and someone that is awake as a master  can see the levels of vibration and emotion and energy as well as the physical action.  Your higher perspective means you understand the reasons behind something.  You understand the contacts and contracts we have with others.   You know there is so much more than what we see.   We all have this place within us, our eagles nest, where we can see from this perspective.  It takes some work to find that place and learn to live from it but it is another characteristic of a Spiritual Master that is worth striving for.
