The experiences of life teach truth.

Love—The Keystone of Life

Most important in the spiritual works of ECK is the knowledge that a solution to every problem is within us.

"As you gain in spiritual unfoldment, everyone in your circle of acquaintances is benefited and uplifted."

How is this so?

The greater states of freedom comes when you have mastered the lessons of love and have become a clear, open and pure channel for God. You then have more freedom to live, move and do as you wish under the law of divine love.

if mastering the lessons of love is all that is needed, then one can have this spiritual freedom without the spiritual exercises of eck,not so?

"As you gain in spiritual unfoldment, everyone in your circle of acquaintances is benefited and uplifted."
--Harold Klemp

How is this so?

It is a spiritual principle that when one soul is uplifted spiritually the whole universe benefits from it. This is because we are all connected.

When an individual attains spiritual heights it increases the flow of divine Love through him which touches everyone that comes close to him. This upliftment starts with those closest to him.

Also God uses an enlightened soul to help in carrying the burdens of other souls which could have crushed them. Those souls that are helped in this way may not even know and of course the enlightened soul maintains the law of silence.

That is why you will never see a true spiritual master coming out to tell you he did this or that to help humanity. They do their part quietly in the background without anyone knowing about their contribution.

Kindly note that Eckankar has never claimed to be the only way to God or the spiritual exercises of Eck being the only tools to achieve spiritual freedom.
What the spiritual exercises offers is a short cut to attaining this freedom possibly in one lifetime.
Soul is free to use any other means as it seems fit to achieve this mastership no matter how long it takes. It doesn't really matter what means or how long, what matters is achieving it.
By the time you have reincarnated several times on this planet learning one lesson over and over, nobody reminds you to stop taking any bullshit or detours and focus on the methods that can take you straight to the heart of God.
But some souls still loves the detours and the merry go round of coming and going and would like to experience all the aspects of life before making up their mind to pack up and go home.

We surrender our fears, our cares, and our worries. In the meantime, we plan our daily life.

We visualize something on the inner, and then we set out to do whatever we can to bring that plan into being. There are many people who have thousands of ideas, but the truly rare person is the one who can figure out what he has to do in the physical world to make his dream come true.

How does one live the spiritual life? The answer is simply to live creatively, because each of us is working to become a Co-worker with God.

most times you talk about creativity, do you mean inventing new things/ideas?

"The dream world and its people are real. It is only our recall and understanding of it that are incomplete."
-Harold Klemp

There is this common notion about dreams where people say that eating in the dream or seeing dead people is something negative, what could you say about that?

Definitely not true.
Moreover nobody dies. People simply drop their outer body and continue existing in the inner worlds which are also the dream worlds. Those that are still wearing their physical body visit these worlds temporarily when they are asleep and can of course see those who are dead physically but have relocated to the dream worlds.

That and more.
Creativity is Soul using Its God given qualities to solve the daily problem that it confronts in life for the good of the whole and thereby becoming a channel for God's Love

Most important in the spiritual works of ECK is the knowledge that a solution to every problem is within us.

The Spiritual Life

The water of life, even as truth, appears to be available everywhere to everyone. But only those who know how to give love are able to drink of it, to receive truth.

Sri Harold Klemp
Truth Has No Secrets

HU is the love song to God that we sing. And it’s to open your heart—like opening your wings. Opening your wings simply means opening your state of consciousness.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Awakening Soul

Becoming a conscious vehicle for God requires that you become the very best you can possibly be, no matter what you choose to do.

Love—The Keystone of Life

Before you can improve your life and find a measure of happiness, you must learn to do one thing every day out of pure love.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Awakening Soul

A true spiritual healing first heals the spiritual condition that caused the symptom to appear in the physical body. But this does not belie the fact that sometimes the body simply wears out.

When we have fulfilled our mission here, it’s time to go on to another classroom, to another mansion in the other worlds.

Sri Harold Klemp
Touching the Face of God

Follow your heart. Learn the spiritual lessons in any given job. Then move on to a new challenge.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Loving Heart

This is how we work with Divine Spirit. We try to look at life and find the laughter wherever we can, whenever we can, because laughter is the healer.

i haven't had a good laugh in this forum for a long time now.
nothing is hidden in ECKANKAR. Singing HU, the Holy Name of God is the basic spiritual exercise. there are hundreds of other spiritual exercises scattered in ECK books which can be purchased by anyone who is interested and the book, The Spiritual Exercises of Eck has up to 144 exercises in it. all these exercises take their root from the HU. you can even create your own. you are free to try any of the techniques until you get the one that works for you. but it requires diligent, daily practice.

I only have the feeling that there are things that are kept secret until after initiation, but if you say everything is open then so be it. But what about the issue of having a spiritual name, like the ones your eck masters have?

Nothing is kept secret in Eckankar like I said before and I am saying it again even after initiation having undergone several myself.
What I noticed was more inner strength to handle life challenges and more love to give out to all life.

Every Soul has a spiritual name which is bestowed on it when the Soul achieves Spiritual Mastership. This is the destiny of every soul and not reserved for certain people.

The only thing you are advised to keep to yourself are the inner communication between you and the Holy Spirit expecially when another person is involved because not everyone is ready to hear the truth. Unless otherwise directed by the Holy Spirit.
That is the Law of Silence.

Be strong to the strong. Show kindness to the weak. Use resourcefulness to deal with people and situations that cause you problems. Life brings us face-to-face with ourselves.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Loving Heart

The highest truth is not written in any book, it’s written in your heart. All the books in the world are useless unless they can help you open your heart.

Open your heart to what? To the love of God.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Awakened Heart

Instead of talking about all we know, at times it pays to just listen. Listen to the people around you. If someone’s telling you something spiritual and positive, this is from the Voice of God.

Things that are negative and destructive to you are from the negative side. Do not do them—no matter how spiritual the person is who says to.

Sri Harold Klemp
Truth Has No Secrets

"To see the Light and hear the Sound is to experience spiritual upliftment that pulls you into the worlds of knowing."

—Harold Klemp

A good dream is one that helps you grow stronger, wiser, and more full of love.

A bad dream is generally a memory of a past life. Bad dreams are old fears.

So good and bad dreams both hold spiritual lessons.

Touching the Face of God

Dreams are a starting point for many who wish to begin the spiritual journey to God and do it in the easiest possible way. Dreams taught me to face myself, let me see the future, and took me to the heavens of God.

Sri Harold Klemp
Touching the Face of God

There are also five virtues—ways to offset the passions: discrimination, forgiveness or tolerance, contentment, detachment, and humility.

Sri Harold Klemp
The Awakening Soul

A waking dream is something that happens in the outer, everyday life that has spiritual significance.
