As we give of ourselves, of our patience and love, to someone else who needs it more, something changes inside us. Something flows in, a flow of good feeling. A spiritual upliftment occurs both in us and in the person receiving the love.

I have some few questions about Eck.
(1) do you people believe in rapture (end time)?

In ECKANKAR, we don't work with believe but rather experience and knowingness. ECK simply means Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the custodian of all knowledge and truth and ECKANKAR simply gives you the key to use in tuning in to the Holy Spirit which explains to you in the language you can understand very well any concept about truth that bothers you via your own personal experiences.

(2) do u believe in anti-christ and 666.?

just like i answered above, these are spiritual concepts which require inner revelations from the Holy Spirit to get clearer understanding about them. even if i told you my own understanding about them,it will not make any meaning to you based on your level of consciousness. you have to ask the Holy Spirit for clearer understanding about these concepts that define your religion which in effect will make you a better christian.

(3) do u pay tithe or any monetarily vow?

ECKANKAR programs are run by voluntary free will donations. there are no compulsions, no tithes or any monetary vows.

(4) u consistently talked about the Hu song, but u neva elaborate how it is being sang?

in many of my post i did elaborate how it is sang but you have to grow through a lot of post to find them.
singing the HU is very simple.

last thing at night before sleeping or first thing when you wake up, sit down in an upright position and make yourself comfortable. feel your heart with love by thinking about all the things that God has done for you that you should be grateful for. then relax by taking some deep breaths. close your eyes and put your attention on your spiritual eye which is the spot between the two eyebrows, then sing the HU in a long drawn out manner-HUUUUUUUUUU as long as your breath can carry.
then repeat it again. sing for 15 to 20 minutes each sitting. while singing put your attention on the spiritual eye and look for the light and listen for the sound. After singing, go into a short quiet contemplation and that is when you can ask your question about any spiritual concern you have then be silent and listen. just listen.

God speaks to us through various ways. the answers can show up in your dreams, in soul travel experiences, via direct perception, through waking dreams which are symbolic daily life events. the experiences you will have will become your authority

The purpose of Eckankar is to make God an everyday reality in your life.

As Soul, you have the God-knowledge within you. The teachings of ECK will awaken the knowledge and love for the divine things that are already in your heart.

The road to God is the adventure of a lifetime.

They are contemplative prayers that enables Soul to connect with the Holy Spirit. Here you don't tell God what to do but rather you listen to the voice of God directing you in all your endeavors.

Interesting. I thought they were a set task to be carried out.

Not at all. They are simply the way we pray in ECKANKAR.

Lol, he did and did not!

The fact is that truth is not necessarily nice to hear. It can hurt and also gladden someone (depending on what side of the divide you are).

He didn't tell you what those concepts (of Anti Christ etc) really are cos you might still not understand them or might not like the answer.

Some people are in a religion not because they are looking for truth (in a sense). It could be because of social reasons, culture (being born in it), economic and other reasons. These people can kill just not to hear the truth if it suits them.

If you are a sincere seeker of truth, you realize that something within you is constantly pushing you from the nest. You know the answers you seek do exist somewhere in the world. This inner force that pushes you to find the answers is an urge you have no control over.
It is the call of Soul...
You are Soul, a divine spark of God on a journey homeward.

Most of our problems are self-made. When things go wrong, if we take responsibility and do something that gives us greater understanding, life becomes easier.
This is how it should be, rather than having someone always giving us spiritual, emotional, or physical healings.
The idea is not to hide from life: It is to live life, but without making the same mistakes we did before.

Truth brings divine love. The reason for war, theft, lies, and other natural traits of humans is that no religion can drive love into anyone’s heart.
When God’s love enters the heart, only then can a change for the better occur.
