As we raise ourselves in the spiritual consciousness, we are better able to solve the problems of life. We are happy. We are at home in every environment.
—Harold Klemp

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

Sri Harold Klemp

The Spiritual Life

The miracles that happened in the early Christian Church still happen today. To see and benefit from them, all we need to do is open our consciousness through spiritual exercises.

—Harold Klemp

When you are with others, realize that they too are lights of God who are also trying to find their way home to a better, happier, more graceful life.

Sri Harold Klemp

The Awakened Heart

The higher you go in awareness, the more you expect of yourself, because Divine Spirit is saying to you, “There is always a better way to do it.” It gently nudges you to bring out the best.

—Harold Klemp

There is a saying that there are really no secret teachings, that everything we need to know is available to us on an open shelf somewhere. But it depends upon our state of consciousness to accept it.

Sri Harold Klemp

The Awakening Soul

When greater amounts of divine love come in, we must give out greater service.

—Harold Klemp

Soul is creative, infinitely creative. Our creative imagination is our gift from God. The imagination is the God-spark, the part of us that makes us like God. And you can direct it toward whatever needs improvement in your life.

Sri Harold Klemp

Touching the Face of God

The reason for spiritual enlightenment is not to escape life, but to learn how to live it richly, to enjoy it.

—Harold Klemp

On earth, the common state of awareness is the human consciousness. As one learns more about love and humility through the trials of many lifetimes, he moves higher in consciousness.

Sri Harold Klemp

The Loving Heart

The Mahanta, the Inner Master, is an expression of the Spirit of God that is always with you. You can ask in contemplation to see and know about the creation and nature of Soul. If you are sincere, the Mahanta will show you.

—Harold Klemp

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.

Sri Harold Klemp

The Language of Soul

The purpose of the Eckankar teachings is to give the individual proof of the nature of Soul in a way that is meaningful to him.

—Harold Klemp

You develop a sense of humor, and as challenges come up, you begin to draw on your creativity. You find solutions that would never have occurred to you before.

Life becomes more fun—you actually have a more adventuresome life. You get put into situations you would not have been in before, because you are going one step beyond yourself. And as you get yourself in trouble, you also have help to get out of it, because as you learn to work with your own resources, you are developing self-mastery.

Sri Harold Klemp

Truth Has No Secrets

This element of God—expanding awareness—also underlies the “plus element” of the ECK teachings. That is, there is always one more heaven. Always one more state of consciousness above the last.

—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.

Sri Harold Klemp

The Loving Heart

Soul exists because God loves It.

God created Souls so that It (God) could come into an expanding awareness of Itself through their experiences of love and mercy toward others.

—Harold Klemp

Self-responsibility is the key to spiritual freedom.

Develop the creative side of yourself so you can figure out your own problems. The creative power works best through those who love what they are doing.

Sri Harold Klemp

The Awakened Heart

There is a spiritual side to every experience or event, no matter how large or small, and whether or not it occurs in everyday life or in a dream.

Sri Harold Klemp

The Loving Heart

Everything is within its rightful place in the Kingdoms of God.

—Harold Klemp

With spiritual liberation comes total freedom and total responsibility.

When you are ready, love, wisdom, and spiritual freedom are available through the teachings of ECK.

—Harold Klemp

You have to be the master of your mind. And what part of you is the master of the mind? It has to be the heart.

Sri Harold Klemp

Love—The Keystone of Life

The individual must determine to live and act as the ECK Masters do, giving love and service to life in every way imaginable.

It is the real key to living and moving in the highest streams of Light and Sound.

—Harold Klemp

Soul is multidimensional. It shares all the aspects of God. Soul can be everywhere at all times, and all places at the same time. This is that part of God that you are.

Begin remembering your dreams to get an idea of who and what you are as Soul.

Sri Harold Klemp

Touching the Face of God

You do not have to Soul Travel to be successful in ECK. Another way to God-Realization is to give tender love and care to every action, because of your love for God.

—Harold Klemp

We have to take full responsibility for our own lives. Once we do, we find that the problems we have are ones we can handle. Not only that, but we can often choose our problems. You may think if there were a choice between problems and no problems, you’d choose to have no problems, and I’d say you would be very wise. But this world doesn’t run like that. It works by degrees, not absolutes.

It works like this: You are going to have problems, but you now have a choice as to how to handle them.

Sri Harold Klemp

Touching the Face of God

Soul Travel may also come as an increased awareness and insight into everyday situations.

—Harold Klemp

Love your neighbor as yourself doesn’t mean a lot more than yourself. It means you have to love yourself before you can love your neighbor.

Love yourself. That means you have to have a good opinion of yourself as a spiritual being.

Sri Harold Klemp

Truth Has No Secrets

Today the sailors of the cosmic sea are recording their journeys into the unknown world beyond the physical plane in their spiritual journals and in the books and articles they write.

—Harold Klemp

The experiences of life teach truth.

Sri Harold Klemp

Love—The Keystone of Life

You cannot become lost in your own inner worlds, because the Far Country is your personal universe.

The Inner Master is simply there to acquaint you with your own worlds of being.

—Harold Klemp

Part of the process of unfolding spiritually is to learn what makes your life more interesting and better, and also the things to stay away from.
