So few know what a love for living means. They’ve put a web around themselves and called it spiritual. Life is a celebration. Some will read that as wanton living, but true celebration is loving God and Its own. —Harold Klemp The Language of Soul

Sri Gopal Das
What man wants most in life is freedom. And if this is denied in his waking state, he'll fulfill it on the Astral Plane while he's asleep. The next question, then of course, is, what is freedom?"
. "The essence of freedom is expression, and freedom is measured by the degree that one is able to express oneself. In the lower worlds, there are numerous limiting factors to this freedom. Society is nothing but a set of limiting rules. So we find that the common man is becoming bullied by outer conditions more each day, and in his desperation, he finds that the only way to have any semblance of freedom is to create - to cause effects. Then we get into the matter of setting policies, the science and application of power, in order to assert these creative actions. Multiply this by the number of Souls on earth at any given time, and you can see why there is so much struggle, war, and interference with one another's space."
. There is but one way to attain true freedom in life - through Soul Travel. And many times the first steps are taken in the dream state, here in Askleposis."
. Freedom is finding existence outside of limitations. It is at this point that creation becomes one with beingness. The need to assert oneself through creation ceases, because in true beingness, one is pure cause. One sees life in pure randomity by direct perception through the eyes of Soul. When you visit new states of consciousness through Soul Travel, you're creating a new state of awareness within your own state of consciousness in order to accept the new things you experience. The conditions you experience are not as important as the new consciousness you create, for once you are able to consciously create the conditions for the new awareness to come into your life, you will always be able to attain freedom, no matter how restricting the outer conditions. Look here!"

The Holy Spirit works in subtle ways, but you have to remember to ask. Most people can’t hear. You learn how to listen and how to see the messages from the Holy Spirit that come to you—and everyone—every day.

About reincarnation. I'm currently an agnostic theist but I've been doing my fair share of scientific research, as well as observing different belief systems. If we are reincarnated, then how do you explain the world's increasing population? If there were 5 people on earth in 1930 and there are 100 people in 2016, how do you account for the 95 new souls?
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by benodic: 2:16pm On Aug 09, 2016
@ AnonyNymous

You need to have some understanding of spiritual geography in order to understand why there is population explosion when there should be a finite number of souls reincarnating.

First the universes of God is divided into 2 grand divisions and these are the pure spiritual planes and the lower worlds or planes.
The lower planes comprised of 5 major planes which are the Etheric plane, mental plane, causal plane, astral plane and the physical plane where earth is located.
These lower planes serve as schools for souls and upon graduation soul then moves to the pure spiritual planes.
Reincarnation does not only occur on earth which is just a minute part of the universes of God. It also occur on other planes as soul moves from plane to plane as it learns and grows.
You have to also know that there are trillions of souls existing on these planes and some have not even come to earth. Even in the physical plane there are trillions of souls existing in other planets and systems apart from the earth.
The reason why Many souls are rushing to earth now leading to the population exp!osion has to do with the current age we are in now. This is the Kali yuga age or iron age. It is a period when the level of negativity in the universe increases and there is so much evil. The rate of karmic run offs also increases. A lot of souls rushes to earth to take advantage of this age because it is a time when those who stand for truth will be thoroughly tested and there is opportunity for souls to finish their karmic lessons and go back to God in a shorter time.
This is the reason for the population explosion. It is still going to get worse as more and more immature souls rush to earth.

Mr. Ben. Well done sir. I would like to know what Eckanker teaches on meat diet, vegetarian diet, killing of animals, occult training, alcohol, etc, and thier spiritual consequences.

I think we discussed, sometimes ago, the teachings of the grail message and you promised to reexamine the work and make an objective review of it. Could you please share with us here what your thoughts are and the spiritual findings you make of it. Thank you.

And how does one do soul travel
Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Obi901: 8:52pm On Aug 11, 2016
There is no mystery about truth, but the acquisition and transmission of true knowledge demands both great labor and great effort of him who receives.
. Those who want truth must make the initial effort to find the source of knowledge and to approach it, taking advantage of the help and indications which are given to all, but which people as a rule do not want to see or recognize. Knowledge cannot come to you without effort on your part.
. Strangely, most persons feel that truth can be given them without much effort. However, this is a wrong attitude for great knowledge is not easy to gather to one's self. For example, it takes five to ten years to grasp the principles of medicine, and often the same or longer for the study of painting, writing or music.
. Many times an individual's independent effort will attain him nothing. It is usually gained through those who already possess it. One should learn from those who know.


Flute of God

Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Obi901: 8:56pm On Aug 11, 2016
. Golden Kiss of God

. Soul Travel is thus of several dimensions. Some people describe it as a shift in consciousness. Out of the blue, some event happens to shed light on a spiritual matter that had mystified them. A shift in consciousness to a new plane flits in like a soft, golden kiss of God. Then, these lucky Souls know they've had the best of good fortune and have touched the hem of divine love. Rather, it has brushed them.
. Soul Travel, as stated, may also be of a more dramatic sort. In this case, an individual transcends the human body and tastes the love and freedom that are a birthright. He rises into the other worlds. Each experience fits him, because each is a reflection of his spiritual state.
. People ask, "Why is it important in ECKankar to learn Soul Travel?"
. Soul Travel, in a broad sense, is of much value because it is a link to the expansion of consciousness. The rule of destiny holds that people at some time will begin to awaken to who and what they are. A knowledge of past lives may be open to them by way of dreams or déjà vu. A few catch a glimpse of future events.
. Note that Soul Travel means moving into the higher realms of God, to places people haven't yet dreamed of. Soul Travel reveals a majesty and security that abounds in the arms of God alone.
. For this reason, Soul Travel transcends astral or mind travel, and rote prayer, elevating one into profound spiritual areas. Whenever Soul reaches the far orbits of the inner planes through Soul Travel, the human heart opens to God's all-consuming love.
. It is our very purpose to discover that love.



Past Lives, Dreams, and Soul Travel

Re: Contemplation Seeds From Eckankar by Obi901: 9:01pm On Aug 11, 2016
. What Is Soul Travel?

. In the simplest terms, Soul Travel is an individual moving closer to the heart of God. This movement takes a variety of forms.
. Soul Travel is, for the most part, a tool for use in the worlds below the Soul Plane, first of the true spiritual worlds. It takes one through the Astral, Causal, Mental, and Etheric Planes. As a whole, these are the planes of time and space. Soul Travel occurs in two general ways. One form is the sensation of fast movement of the Soul body through the planes of time and space. In reality, though, is such movement possible?
. You see, Soul exists on all planes, so what feels like movement, or travel, is simply Soul coming into an agreement with fixed states and conditions that already exist in some world of time and space.
. If you can imagine a scene, then you can be there this instant in the Soul body. That is the Imaginative technique. It may feel as though you are hurtling through space at a breakneck speed, like a rocket, and zooming on a journey to the outer space. In fact, though, Soul (you) is motionless. It is shifting Its attention to some higher state. That shifting of attention results in a feeling of fast motion to the material senses.
. Soul Travel begins with a Spiritual Exercise of ECK in a physical setting.
. A contemplative may hear a rushing sound, like a wailing wind in a tunnel, along with a sensation of incredible speed. But as explained, Soul doesn't move; Soul is. Time and space adjust to Soul's state of consciousness, and it is this adjustment of time and space that renders an illusion of movement or breathtaking speed. A seeming, rapid change of location is one aspect of Soul Travel that may prove to be a daunting obstacle for the timid. These people fear going beyond themselves.
. Soul Travel is, therefore, for the bold and courageous in spirit. But remember, since one doesn't in fact travel anywhere, it's impossible to get lost.
. Keep that principle in mind during a spiritual exercise. It will lend the confidence to open your heart to love and so delight in any enlightenment that finds you.
. Another form of Soul Travel is the expansion of consciousness. This aspect is the true state of personal revelation or enlightenment that we aspire to in ECK. It visits both the timid and the bold, and is a gentler, less robust version of movement in consciousness. Most people experience this sort of gradual shifting of awareness.
. Love and wonder define Soul Travel the best.
