Colum takes the reader on a transforming journey in this description of working with a wise and loving spiritual teacher. The teacher is White Eagle. His guidance and wisdom have helped and encouraged Colum from an early age, through his own personal problems and difficulties, and enabled him to discover a deeper meaning behind daily events. In the light of this, Colum uses simple everyday language to portray what it is like to feel and act upon White Eagle's guidance. The traditional view of the ‘Spiritual teacher’ is maintained, with all its dignity and poise, but it is also transformed into something more dynamic, down-to-earth and ‘reader-friendly’.
