“What does life require of us? To be able to survive, to go out there and have the experiences of life, and to learn from them. To become better spiritual beings. “And by becoming better spiritual beings, we become more self-sufficient. We become better able to handle ourselves in one crisis after another, as well as in the good times. This moves us toward spiritual freedom in this lifetime. “When you have more spiritual freedom, you have more happiness and independence. This is what we are looking for.” —Harold Klemp, “The Call of Soul” |
Approach life with common sense, and sometimes just with common courtesy. Harold Klemp Love—The Keystone of Life |

You are Soul. You are a light of God. And whatever your relationship with God is, that is your relationship with God, and it’s your business. Not anyone else’s. Harold Klemp Love—The Keystone of Life |

If you understand dreams and how they work, you can use your dreams to take the next step in your own life. An effective way is to use dreams together with the Spiritual Exercises of ECK. A simple one is to sing HU at bedtime for five or ten minutes before you go to sleep. It spiritualizes your state of consciousness. —Harold Klemp The Awakened Heart |
Some of the religious teachings believe body and Soul are one and the same. In Eᴄᴋᴀɴᴋᴀʀ we believe Soul comes in and takes on the physical body as a temple to use so It can move in this physical world. Harold Klemp Touching the Face of God |
“When our hearts are open to God’s love, then the divine power can use us as an instrument to pass divine love and blessings along to others.” —Harold Klemp, “The Awakening Soul” |
Today someone said to another person, “You are so lovely.” And the other person answered, “Because you are seeing yourself.” And of course, it caught the first person by surprise. Generally we see in others what we are ourselves. Harold Klemp The Language of Soul |
Realize that as you give love to God, God’s love has already been given to you. Now all you need do is accept God’s love and return it to life. For in returning it to life, to your fellow man and other creatures of God, you are returning it to God. —Harold Klemp The Awakened Heart |
Life is to cherish. Be respectful of all life, especially your own. Harold Klemp The Loving Heart |
Each of us is Soul, and we are here to learn lessons. One of the great lessons is to learn to love yourself. Until you can do that, you cannot learn to love someone else. And until you can learn to love yourself and others, you cannot truly love God. Loving ourselves is hard for many of us because we know ourselves so well. But it’s a necessary step, and we have to do the best we can. —Harold Klemp The Awakened Heart |
Once we gain reassurance of ourselves as Soul, we gain confidence in life. Harold Klemp Love—The Keystone of Life |
Many parts of the world are facing hard times now. As quickly as things ease off in one part of the world, they become harder in another; that’s the nature of this schoolroom of God. Earth is a schoolroom where each of you can become aware of the purpose of this existence, which is to become a more spiritual being. It’s to help you become a better Coworker with God. —Harold Klemp The Awakened Heart |
If you can achieve an improvement over yesterday, even if it’s small, you have gained significantly. You are taking charge of your own world. You are becoming a creator. Harold Klemp The Language of Soul |

Remember that our goal is to become a Coworker with God. This means we become fully able to help in the divine plan of serving life. —Harold Klemp The Awakened Heart |
We don’t make a goal of higher ethics, but higher ethics are a natural result of increased spiritual unfoldment. This ought to show in our lives, in our business dealings, and in our interactions with others. Harold Klemp Truth Has No Secrets |
You may see chaos and destruction around you and know that there will never be a heaven on earth. But you can have heaven on earth within your own heart. —Harold Klemp The Awakened Heart |
Spirit will work with each person, with each one of you, in a way that is right for you. Harold Klemp Touching the Face of God |
If you would consider that you are Soul, a child of God, you could then consider that every other person is also a child of God. Christ spoke about this when he said to love your neighbor as yourself. You must first of all learn to love yourself. To love yourself means to love your divine qualities—compassion, goodness, and love. —Harold Klemp The Awakened Heart |
The teachings of ECK work on the simple principle that love is the divine current which makes all life possible. Harold Klemp The Awakening Soul |
True contemplation is reflecting on the blessings of God in your life. It’s not complex, there are many ways to do it, and it certainly will enrich you. —Harold Klemp The Awakened Heart |
All that a true spiritual teaching can give you is assurance of the eternal nature of Soul: that you live beyond the death of the physical body; that you are Soul, and you live forever. A sword can pierce the body but never Soul. And if you know what you’re doing, when you leave this body it’s not much of a change. Harold Klemp Touching the Face of God |
“A healing depends a lot upon one’s opening his heart to love. The true healer is the ECK, Divine Spirit. When a healing takes place, it is through the power of the ECK.” —Harold Klemp, “The Loving Heart” |
Whatever path to God you follow ought to make you able to stand on your own feet here as well as in the inner worlds; here and now, in this lifetime, before you drop the body in death. If the path isn’t able to do that, then you ought to keep looking until you find one that gives you this ability. Harold Klemp Touching the Face of God |
Your consciousness is expanding outwardly in concentric circles, reaching further and further to encompass the knowledge needed to make better decisions—the knowledge to run your life better. —Harold Klemp The Awakened Heart |
As a spiritual exercise, take yourself into a larger room. For example, if you have a desire for self-discipline, leave the room of self-discipline that you’re in. Go down the corridor, and go into another room. This room will be larger. It will be much larger. Just live within the awareness that you want to be in this room of more self-discipline. Then let the Holy Spirit, the ECK, bring about the changes in your life that will accompany such a resolution. Harold Klemp Truth Has No Secretsl |
“We don’t tell anyone what to do or try to tell the Holy Spirit what to do. We are not directing events to fit our expectations. Not at all. We simply try to be open and aware of ourselves as Soul in the sea of other Souls as we all move through our daily work.” —Harold Klemp, “The Slow Burning Love of God,” Mahanta Transcripts, Book 13 |
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. Harold Klemp The Language of Soul |
The quickest way to put your state of consciousness in the heart of God is to sing HU. Just sing HU-U-U-U to yourself a few times. You’ll notice that something changes. —Harold Klemp The Awakened Heart |
