Continued from last lecture
Through this tasting the spirit germ matures more and more, gradually developing the capacity to
distinguish and finally the ability to judge, until eventually it becomes ever more conscious and assured
and follows a certain definite direction. The choice of vibrations it is willing to follow has a deep effect
upon it. It is but a natural consequence that these vibrations in which the spirit germ swims, as it were, on
its own free volition will in reciprocity influence it in accordance with their nature.
The spirit-germ itself, however, possesses only pure and noble qualities! These are the talents which
it should “put to the highest use” in Creation. If it gives in to noble vibrations, these will, through the
reciprocal action, arouse its latent qualities, stir them up, and strengthen and cultivate them, so that they
may, in time, bear interest and bring great blessing to Creation. A thus developing spiritual man will in
this manner become a good steward.
If, however, the spirit-germ decides principally in favor of ignoble vibrations these can, in due
course, influence it so strongly that their nature adheres to it and shrouds the pure qualities of the spirit-
germ, suffocating them and preventing them from actual awakening and blossoming. These must finally
be considered as downright “buried” whereby the person concerned becomes a bad steward of the talents
entrusted to him.
Thus a spirit-germ cannot be impure of itself as it comes from the region of purity and carries only
purity within itself. But after immersion into the Material World, the spirit germ can soil its cloak, which
is now also material and, of its own volition, “taste” impure vibrations through temptations, whereby its
soul can even outwardly take on what is impure because what is noble becomes overgrown, and thus the
soul acquires impure qualities in contrast to the innate inherited qualities of the spirit. The soul is but the
most ethereal, gaseous cloak of the spirit and it exists only in the material Creation. In the event of a
return into the higher Pure-spiritual-Substantiality the soul has been discarded and there is only spirit
which cannot cross over the boundary of the material Creation into the spiritual realm in any other way.
However, his re-entrance, his return proceeds in a living, conscious form, which was not the case for the
emerging spark at the beginning.
All guilt and karma are only material! Existing only within material Creation and nowhere else! Nor
can they become part of the spirit as such, but can only cling to it. Therefore it is possible to be washed
clean of all guilt.
This recognition does not upset anything but only confirms what religion and church say
allegorically. Above all, we recognize more and more the great Truth which Christ brought to mankind.
Of course, a spirit-germ having burdened itself with impurity in the World of Matter, cannot return to
the Spiritual Realm with this burden, but must remain in the Material World until it has cast off this
burden and redeemed itself from it. In this process it must naturally remain in that region to which the
weight of its burden forces it, depending on the greater or lesser degree of impurity. If it does not succeed
in ridding itself of and casting off its burden before the Day of Judgment, it will not be able to rise in spite
of the purity always retained by the spirit-germ which, however, could not unfold itself according to its
actual qualities, because it had been suffocated by impurity. The impurity holds it down by its weight and
draws it along into the dissolution of all that is material. *(Lecture No. 20: The Last Judgment)
The more conscious a spirit-germ becomes in the course of its development, the more its outer cloak
takes on the form of its inner qualities. Striving either towards what is noble or what is ignoble, it thus
becomes either beautiful or ugly.
Every turn it takes forms a knot in the threads dragging behind it which, through following many
wrong paths and going to and fro, become looped and form a net in which the spirit gets entangled, and
which either holds it fast and causes it to perish, or causes it to free itself by force. The vibrations in
which it indulged by nibbling or feasting during its wanderings remain attached to it and drag after it like
threads, continually sending their particular radiations to it. If it keeps to the same direction for a long
time, then both the threads further back and the new threads have an undiminished effect. Whenever it
changes its course, however, the influence of the further vibrations will gradually be weakened by being
crossed, for they must first pass through a knot, which hinders them because, in making the knot, they
joined and fused with new vibrations of quite a different nature. The different nature of the then following
direction has a corrosive and dissolving effect on the previous one unless it belongs to a species similar to
the first one. Thus it goes on and on. As the spirit-germ grows, the threads become denser and stronger
and form karma, the ultimate effect of which may become so powerful that it may attach to the spirit this or that “propensity” which is finally able to influence its free decisions and give it a direction that can
already be estimated in advance. Then the free will has been darkened and can no longer operate as such.
Thus free will exists from the beginning, but later on, many a will becomes burdened to such an
extent that it is strongly influenced in the way already described and so can no longer act as a free will.
The spirit-germ which is developing more and more in this way must come ever nearer to the earth,
for from there, the vibrations emanate most strongly. Steering more and more consciously, the spirit-germ
follows these or, more precisely, lets itself be “attracted” by them, so that it may experience ever more
intensely those species chosen according to its inclination. It wants to pass from nibbling to the real
“tasting” and finally to “feasting.”
The reason why the vibrations from the earth are so strong is that something new and powerful is
added: physical gross-material, generative power! *(Lecture No. 62: The significance of man’s generative power for
his spiritual ascent)
The latter has the mission and the capacity to set the whole spiritual intuitive perception “aglow.” It
is only through this that the spirit receives the proper connection with material Creation and consequently,
it is able only then to be active in it with full vigor. It then embraces all that is requisite to gain complete
validity in the Material World, to stand firmly in it in every respect, to be able to work in it decisively and
forcefully, and to be armed and protected against everything.
Hence the mighty waves of power issuing from man’s experiences in his life on earth. Although they
only reach as far as material Creation, in it they vibrate to the outermost delicate edges.
A human being on earth of spiritually high and noble character, who was therefore able to bring to
his fellow-men high spiritual love, would remain a stranger to them and could not come close to them
inwardly as long as his generative power was missing. A bridge would be missing for understanding and
for empathy of the soul; there would be a gap.
However, at the moment in which this spiritual love enters into a pure union with the generative
power and is set aglow by it, the emanation from this receives an entirely different vitality for all material
substance, it becomes more real in the earthly sense and is thereby able to work more completely and
understandably upon humanity and upon the whole World of Matter. Only then can this emanation be
absorbed and perceived intuitively, bringing into Creation the blessing which the spirit of man is meant to
bring.
There is something powerful about this union. It is the actual purpose, at least the main purpose, of
this natural instinct, so immense and so mysterious to many, namely that it permits the spiritual to unfold
to its fullest working power in the World of Matter! Without it the spiritual would remain too alien to the
material world to be able to have its proper effect. The purpose of procreation is only of secondary
importance. The main result of this union is the upliftment occurring in the human being. This gives the
human spirit its full powers, its warmth and vitality and with this happening it becomes complete, so to
speak. Therefore it is not until this point that its full responsibility sets in!
At this important turning point the wise Justice of God gives man not only the opportunity but even
the natural urge to easily shake off all the karma with which he has burdened his free will up till then.
This enables man to completely free his will again, so as to become a child of God, standing consciously
and powerfully in Creation, working according to God’s Will, and ascending in pure and lofty intuitive
perceptions to those heights to which he will later be attracted as soon as he has laid aside his physical
body.
If man does not do this it is his own fault; for with the entry of the generative power there stirs within
above all an enormous momentum upward to all that is ideal and pure. This can always be clearly
observed in unspoiled youth of both sexes. Hence the daydreaming in the years of youth, unfortunately
often derided by adults and not be confused for the years of childhood. This also accounts for the
inexplicable, rather melancholy but none the less serious intuitive perceptions in these years. The hours in
which it seems as if the young man or maiden were burdened with all the sorrows of the world, when they
are touched by a deep seriousness, are not without reason. Also, their frequent feeling of not being
understood has in reality much truth in it. It arises from their occasional recognition of how wrong the
world around them is, a world which cannot and will not understand the blessed attempt of their soul to
soar on high in purity and a world which is not satisfied until these intuitive perceptions in the maturing.

hahahahahahah. Any religion that teaches re incarnation is fraud.

Jesus died for ur sins. U need to believe that.

Matthew 5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

Ephesians 4:29
KJV: Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
ESV: Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
NIV: Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
AMP: Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God’s favor) to those who hear it.

rubbish. Quote luke 24 vs 25 here... Slow poke

A fool is someone who is unwise, lacks sense, and lacks judgement. Fools don’t want to learn the truth. They laugh at the truth and turn their eyes away from the truth. Fools are wise in their own eyes failing to take in wisdom and advice, which will be their downfall. They suppress the truth by their unrighteousness.

Proverbs 18:2-3 Fools have no interest in understanding; they only want to air their own opinions. Doing wrong leads to disgrace, and scandalous behavior brings contempt.

Proverbs 29:11 Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.

Hi Benodic,
What are the Creeds of ECK

@ johhbekeboh09

Hi Benodic,
What are the Creeds of ECK

Basic Beliefs of Eckankar
Harold Klemp, the spiritual leader of Eckankar, describes the basic beliefs of Eckankar as follows:

The teachings of ECK define the nature of Soul more carefully than do other current religions. Each person is Soul, a particle of God sent into the lower worlds (including earth) to gain spiritual experience. Purified by the spiritual exercises, he comes into contact with the Holy Spirit. His goal is spiritual freedom in this lifetime, after which he becomes a Co-worker with God, both here and in the next world.

Karma and reincarnation are primary beliefs.

Key to the ECK teachings is the Mahanta, the Living ECK Master. He has the special ability to act as both Inner and Outer Master for ECK students. He is the prophet of Eckankar, given respect but not worship. He teaches the sacred name of God, HU, which lifts one spiritually into the Light and Sound of God, the ECK.

The ECK (the Holy Spirit) purifies one of karma (sin), making it possible for him to accept the full love of God in this lifetime. Then he gains wisdom, charity, and freedom.

Personal experience with the Light and Sound of God is the cornerstone of Eckankar. Of all the religions on earth today, Eckankar offers the most direct teachings on the Light and Sound of God. These twin pillars are missing in whole or in part from the rest. People who truly find these two aspects of God undergo a complete spiritual change. Life becomes fresh and new again, as it was in early childhood.

—Harold Klemp
"What Is ECKANKAR?"


Eckankar teaches . . .
Soul is eternal.
Soul exists because God loves It.
Soul is on a journey of Self- and God-Realization.
Spiritual unfoldment can be accelerated through conscious contact with the ECK, Divine Spirit.
This contact can be made via the Spiritual Exercises of ECK and the guidance of the Living ECK Master.
You can actively explore the spiritual worlds through Soul Travel, dreams, and other spiritual techniques.
Spiritual experience and liberation in this lifetime are available to all.
Taking another step
For those who are ready for a new spiritual step, Eckankar offers a membership program designed to allow students to unfold spiritually at their own pace.
