In every sense of the word White Eagle's MORNING LIGHT is a classic among his books of comforting and inspiring teaching from spirit. It came out in 1957 as the first in a series of gentle statements designed to lift the reader up - out of immersion in the dark material world and into a place where vision might dawn and a new understanding of life could grow.
