Hello,
I believe that some of our friends have already drawn your attention to our
web site, at - www.saintjohns.org - as this is the headquarters of the White
Eagle organization in the Americas, our Mother Lodge is in the UK.
With reference to the meaning of the six-pointed star, which we visualize
in meditation, the following are verbatim extracts from the White Eagle
teachings originating in the 1930's -

"The Star is the symbol of the perfect life, the perfect balance, of the
Christ-man. The six-pointed star is the Star of Bethlehem, which again
means the Star of the Son of man. Think of the miracle of the snowflake,
each with its six points and of many flowers with six petals or points.
Think along these lines and you will quickly find that a six-pointed star
expresses something of the universal in nature in its simplicity, its
perfect balance and truth."

Again - "In the six-pointed star, with the seventh point in its center, we
behold the history of creation and God's plan for man's life, not merely
from the beginning to the end of an incarnation but through eternity.

Eternal life is something infinitely grander, infinitely more beautiful than
man has grasped, because one has to comprehend eternity; all is eternal now.

This is a profound secret of life. Sometimes in deep meditation the soul is
able to touch that depth and that height of comprehension. The soul
recognizes eternity, perhaps in a flash, and in that flash lives through
eternal life, through countless ages; but as soon as the soul returns to the
confines of the physical brain and the limitations of material life,
understanding of eternity falls away and it is bound again in prison,
suffering the sorrows and anguish of mortal life. It is only when it can
escape from this bondage that it can touch the truth of life and enter into
the very center of the star.

What do we mean by saying that the star is the symbol of creation and of
God's plan for man? We read into the symbol of the Star which led the
Wise Men and which leads all wise men to the birthplace of truth - we see in
this the ages advancing and receding and we see the continual involution and
evolution of life. We see the ages fulfilling their purpose and through
each age we see the soul of man uplifted and cast down. We see the soul
struggling through the darkness of ignorance, fear and selfishness. At the
end of the age we see that the soul has glimpsed some of the glory of the
heavens, the glory of God's plan. That glory is absorbed into the depths
of the soul, is covered up again, and the soul enters once more upon the
path of the particular age which is to bring to it certain lessons, certain
understanding of the mighty grandeur and glory of its Creator."

Also - "The star with the six points represents the star of Light .......of
brotherhood, the Star of Christ. The love of Christ is represented by
this Star. So, we have in that symbol a representation of the Ancient
Wisdom, and the love of Christ, the wisdom and love combined, which is to be
realized by humanity in this New Age - the age of Aquarius."
