Through the Eyes of the Eagle by Bryce Berth

The title, Through the Eyes of the Eagle, was actually birthed three years prior to the writing of the book. When the author was inspired and compelled to write the story of his life three years later in 2017, his remembrance of a spiritual experience that took place in 2014 would be the stimulus to consider the title. This spiritual experience was an actual visitation and sighting of a golden eagle. This experience became his motivation to choose the title. The title chosen is really a metaphor of sorts and symbolic representation of the author's spiritual eyesight wanting to convey this compelling story as seen through his eyes. When the visitation and sighting took place in August 2014, the author knew there was a higher spiritual connotation to be understood.

Yearning for the meaning, the author researched the significance. What the author learns put his compelling story of his life into perspective. He realizes the significance of this sighting was proportionate precisely and relative to what he had been through in his life and what he had learned from a higher perspective. What he learned and already understood were the specifics of spiritual messages that the eagle is trying to convey when one is visited by one.

Specifically, when the eagle appears, one is to be fully aware, to be courageous, and to stretch one's limits. Look at things from a new and higher perspective, and know that the future holds possibilities that one may not be able to see. Additionally, with respect to its symbolism and powers, the eagle conveys powers and messages of the spirit. It is man's connection to the divine. In this sighting, the author learns and understands that the eagle bestows freedom and courage to look ahead, and the lesson of the sighting is that one must have the courage to relinquish the state of comfortable habits and beliefs to soar into unknown realms and realities. On that particular day of his life, it seemed to the author that the lessons learned summed up his entire life story.

After this magnificent experience, friends, with whom he had shared the spiritual experience of the eagle sighting with, gave him the name Eagle because of his spiritual eyesight and its accuracy. In their opinion, his eyesight was as impeccable as the eyesight of an eagle. The name given stuck and became a profound inspiration to the author to eventually convey this compelling and inspirational story as seen through his eyes, the eyes of the eagle.
