The Flight of an Eagle

By Nina Palmieri

It was a beautiful summer day in the majestic cascade canyon of the Grand Tetons. As I sat in the lush meadow, perched on a rock, an eagle flew by. I looked up, slipped into the dream of the eagle and we became one.

I flew with the eagle and saw through the eyes of the eagle. We were flying so high that we were vibrating at the frequency of the sun, at the frequency of God. We flew down to the earth to capture our prey. Then we flew back up to the sky. Our high perception never changed even as we descended. We flew as free as life, as love and as the eagle, no matter where we were. The eagle never lost sight of love, of truth, of the highest point of view.

I understood that in our ordinary lives, we can be the eagle. We are the truth. And in life, we could walk as love and love everything. When we stalk our prey and interact on this earth, we don’t have to be persuaded away from this high point of view. We are the force of life. We are love. We are truth. We are the eagle, no matter what.

As I went to sleep that night, I dreamed that I was flying in the sky again as the eagle. When I landed on the earth, there were people who were waiting to learn how to fly. As I was sharing with them, I could see that everyone was trying to understand how to fly through knowledge. Their honest attempt to learn how to fly was through what they had learned. They didn’t know that they were possessed by symbols.

As I witnessed all of the symbols controlling them, the wind came and we became one. As we merged, we flew together. I heard the message of the wind saying just let go and fly. It’s simple. Don’t try, just do it.

We are the eagle, the sun, the force of love. Put down the symbols, the weapons, and the knowledge. Embrace the truth. We could be anywhere at any time and see as the eagle. This perception has never left us. Knowledge has just persuaded us to believe that we are separate from truth.

Let go. Look, listen and fly as the eagle.
