Roberts' latest book written by David Fairhurst - The Collected Wisdom of White Feather
“We’re waking up!” This may seem a strange thing to say and yet this is just the latest stage in mankind’s unfolding evolution. It is an evolution which must have begun in prehistory when we achieved individual consciousness and became self-aware. Then we began to use our brains as tools to grasp a simple understanding of ourselves and the world. As we began to settle, this process accelerated. Firstly with stories and later with writing we could hold images in our minds of things which weren’t immediately before us. Complex societies developed and for many centuries we accepted the understanding of ‘what we were’ and ‘the nature of reality’ which were handed down to us by the many religions of the time. Only a few hundred years ago we began to question this and, if we dared, search for our own answers. The flowering of the arts during the renaissance and then the explosion of science in the age of enlightenment (a mere three centuries ago) gave us even more opportunity to try to gain a deeper understanding. The tremendous technological advances of the last two centuries, sadly culminating in the tragic torment of two world wars, shook our traditional beliefs still further. Now, in a time of relative peace, people all over the world are once again pushing forward to find better answers to the questions “Who and what am I?”, “What is the true nature of reality?” and “What is the purpose of my life?” If you find this hard to believe, just look at the huge success of Eckhart Tolle’s writings in the U.S.A., where millions of his books have been sold to people trying to find answers that will make sense of their lives. Yet, for all this time there have been very wise, elevated souls who have watched our struggles to find the truth with great compassion and a genuine desire to help us. Just occasionally, they find someone alive on earth who has the necessary qualities and abilities to be able to channel their thoughts. If that person is prepared to give up many of their interests, to dedicate themselves to this work for many years, then something wonderful can happen. The elevated soul that likes to be known as ‘White Feather’ is just such a soul and Robert Goodwin is just such a dedicated medium. Now I’m sure reading this, Robert will insist that he is ‘no saint’ and ‘only an ordinary man’, as I am sure he is, yet the work that he has put in and the trust that he has developed in White Feather certainly wins my admiration. He is not alone in the work though, as he has been supported ably throughout by Amanda who, I am happy to say is now Mrs Goodwin! The three of them - White Feather, Robert and Amanda, form quite a team and I urge anyone who has never seen one of their public demonstrations to try to get to one. This is what I did quite a few years ago. I was at a stage of my own awakening when I was hungry for answers. Each step that I took seemed to answer one question but throw up many more. This was exciting but also frustrating, as the answers from the traditional sources were either ambiguous or non-existent. Suddenly, here was someone who seemed to have not only a complete understanding of the human condition but also a way of explaining the nature of reality. I am embarrassed to say that, over the years, I have become so used to this that it now feels just like talking to a kind old teacher, and yet there is still a little part of me going “Wow!”. Interestingly, White Feather is very quick to point out that we should never accept what he says because of his position, as would have been the case with the churches of the past, but simply to consider it and reflect upon it. We can choose to ignore it, or we can choose to accept it, or we may even tuck it away in the back of our minds in case it becomes useful in the future. In this way he brings help and sheds light on our difficulties but still leaves us in the driving seat of our lives. So, for those of you who have been to hear White Feather and want to know more and for those of you who aren’t able to get to one of the demonstrations, I commend this collection of some of his best published wisdom. - David Fairhurst
