The Eagle's Journey

Jorge Luis Borges the great writer says that the preface “is that time inthe book that the author is less author. He is almost a reader and nowhe’s earned the rights as such”; that is to say he’s earned—after havingwritten his book—of a certain distance from that which he wrote. Forthis reason Borges adds “the preface is the beginning of the book but itstime is postscript”.So it occurs to me knowing feeling having lived that this prologue is thepostscript of a path taken; first in a journey of a personal experience ofdeep spiritual impression; then writing it. And writing is a gift of givingto offer your own to the world; to be in the moment itself reading—inthe here and now of the reader.The path of the eagle expresses a life choice that I’ve decided to embraceas a result of many other journeys in a search to find that which manygreat teachers and spiritual guides looked for. In my personal case mysearch has been—and continues to be since I am alive—to be able to bein the world letting go more and more of the Ego that ties us so fillingus with things that we think are more than necessary but in reality takeus away from the divine essence; the grace of being in the here and now.Only there do we decide to be in harmony with the universe. As Bashoan old poet monk advised his disciples thousands of years ago: “Do not. follow the path of the teacher search for what they searched for”; thisis a great teaching that my spiritual guide taught me who in this bookI’ve changed his real name to Peter—and who transmitted old teachingsfrom other teachers that I think are today of urgent certainty. At least forme and I hope that once finished reading this book that it’ll be so for myreaders who I here and now—as Peter said—humbly transmit this to.My wish is that in these pages The path of the eagle be for each and everyone of you. I think I took the right path—as you will see in these pagesthe importance of the right path—that which and just as Peter saystransmitting the old wise ones is the shortest and the driest on thisoccasion my correct path has been to take you along my long spiritualtrip through these pages.
