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.

@ ezeudoh



the spiritual journey starts at the point behind the two eyebrows when you close your eyes.
that is the location of the spiritual eye or the window of heaven or the narrow gate which few ever find.
you close your eyes, fill your heart with love by remembering all the things in your life that made you happy. then you sing a holy name of God for example you can try singing the HU which is a holy name of God that does not belong to any language or to any religion. sing it for 15 to 30 minutes then go into quiet contemplation while keeping your attention on the spiritual eye. watch what happens.

do this exercise in the night before sleeping and in the morning after waking up. regular practice of this exercise will gradually open your spiritual eyes and you will then easily enter the inner worlds to explore and come back with your experiences intact.

I guess this is how it is done, but I have some questions.
1. Can one sing Hu silently in the mind without making a sound?

2. Can one do this laying down instead of sitting?

3. How do one estimate the time? Is it advisable to set an alarm?

4. When you put your attention on the spiritual eye, did you mean I look up at the area between my eye brows while closing my eyes or I become aware of the area just like I can close my eyes and be aware of the thumb of my left leg?

Yes



Yes



No need for alarm. You will feel an inner nudge from the Holy Spirit when to stop.



When you close your eyes, every where becomes dark. Just gentle focus your attention on the spot between the two eyebrows. As you continue the spiritual exercise, at a point you can start seeing light appearing at that dark spot. That is the light of God and the first step to stepping into the inner heavens.
@bolded
Do you mean I will roll my physical eyes upward?
And how can one sing the Hu song? Is it
1. Heuuuuuuuu
2. Heeeeeuuuuu
On average, how many months do you think It takes to start seeing the light?
Thanks

You don't move your physical eyes.
Once you close your physical eyes your inner eye takes over. Just keep your attention on the dark area that appears once you close your physical eyes.




Huuuuuuuuu, like in the word hue. But in a long drawn out manner



Spiritual experiences and spiritual growth is purely an individual thing and depends upon a lot of factors.
Some may see the light immediately they start the spiritual exercises while others may take longer.
It took me up to 6 months before I started seeing the light and hearing the sound with accompanying outstanding soul travel experiences.
I nearly gave up when I didn't have any experiences after 5 months of doing the spiritual exercises. But each time I attended ECK programs I will hear people sharing their experiences.
So I continued determined to succeed. And success eventually came. Mind you I wasn't even a member of Eckankar when I started having these experiences. I enjoyed these experiences for up to 4 years before I decided to register as a member and throughout that time there was no compulsion or pressure from any member.

So these exercises are meant to enhance your spiritual growth no matter your religion. But you have to put your heart into it and don't relent until you achieve success.
Always remember that you are soul and you exist because God loves you
