Many years ago I was invited to a conference in London at which Eileen was presenting. The speaker before her was a powerhouse of activity, urging everyone to take action. The hall was buzzing and I wondered how anyone could follow such a passionately electric speech.
Eileen stepped up to the podium and said quietly. ‘My guidance to you is to go within.’ You could hear a pin drop. It was as if angels of peace had entered and enfolded everyone as she held the audience in her hand.
A few years ago I was privileged to have tea with her. She told me that her guidance was to attend the important community meetings. She was not to say anything - she was simply to hold the vision for Findhorn. What a reminder of the power of holding an intent with clarity.
Eileen has long been one of my heroines.
I am humbled to remember how she channelled night after night in difficult conditions despite her own fears and personal problems and I find her devotion and dedication totally inspiring. She was the catalyst for the great community of Findhorn - an awesome achievement for one lifetime.
When I received the message to say she had passed I was with some of the teachers from my school. We immediately lit a candle to tune in and offer prayers. The light and glorious sense of angels with her was overwhelming. She had an extraordinary life and has left a legacy which will enrich us all. Thank you Eileen.
With love, Diana
