Divine love is something that is shared. In the same way it comes from God to people, it is shared from people to people, from people to pets, and from pets to people. It works very simply. Divine love doesn’t have the barriers that the human mind makes.

If you love, then all things will come to you. At some point love will begin to direct all your actions and thoughts. Then you can accept life.

Always remember you’re not alone.

Spirit is always with us, always guiding, always protecting, always attempting to bring joy and make our life better, but that doesn’t mean that we are always aware and listening.

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.

@ ChronosMed

You're doing well sir, I've followed this thread for a while and I have some reservations.

I have some questions here:

1. From earlier pages you said The OBE Astral exposes you to danger, what danger is that?

the danger with OBE Astral is that the physical body is left unguarded when the individual leaves it in his astral body. another entity can take over the body. also if the physical body is moved to another location, the individual can be trapped in the astral plane and may not be able to come back to the physical body.


2. What is your perspective of Satan, demons principalities and powers?

The lower worlds was built as a school for soul. they are worlds of duality, good and evil, right and wrong, negative forces and positive forces etc. the head master of the lower worlds, in Eckankar we know him as Kal, others refer to him as the Devil, Satan, the Evil one, the Tempter, etc. The Devil with his hierarchy of demons and rulers of the lower worlds are actually in charge of the lower universes and they work under the supervision of the Almighty God we know as the Sugmad in ECK.

They provide hardships and temptations to Souls in the process of their education to know which of them is worthy to enter the pure spiritual heavens as purified soul. With each temptation you pass, you grow spiritually. remember the story of Job in the Bible. it is a classical example of what i am explaining. the Devil has to take permission from God before he could tempt Job to see if he is really worthy of the status God has bequeathed him. Also before Jesus could commence his spiritual mission, after the 40 days of fasting, the Devil had to also tempt him to see if he is really ready to commence his mission. there is no conflict between the Devil and God, he is just doing his Job. our own job is to pass the exams set by him and grow spiritually to finally take our place in the hierarchy of Spiritual Masters

3. You referred to Jesus as one of the masters and I see that you have great reverence for him. How do you relate his teaching of he is the only way to the father with your idea of many masters?

i truly have great reverence for Jesus Christ. his teachings ignited my search for God in this present lifetime. i started very early in life to study the bible and meditate on it from chapter to chapter everyday. what was amazing to me was that the understanding i was getting from my meditations on the word was quite different from what i was being taught in the churches coupled with the inner experiences i was having too. the main thing i noted while digesting the new testament was the concept of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told his disciples that he has to go and that the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit will come and It will lead them to all truth. then the Pentecost came and the Holy Spirit came unto the Disciples as tongues of fire and there was the sound of wind. following the experience, they were enabled and spoke in tongues and ministered to the people.

i then realized that the Holy Spirit was indeed the key to Spiritual growth. then my search for the Holy Spirit started. how does one
contact this Holy Spirit which is to lead one to all truth. this search took me through several denominations and it ended when i found Eckankar.
when i started reading the ECK books, i didn't even know what Eckankar meant. i was just reading an ECK book one day and i saw a flash of light passing through my inner eye and with it came a realization and answers to most of the questions i have been asking. in an instant i realized that ECK simply means the Holy Spirit, the essence of God, the voice of God, the Word via which God created all the universes. in it we live, move and have our being. The Holy Spirit can be experienced as a Light and heard as sound which comes in several forms and that there is only one way to God. and that one way is via the Holy Spirit.

it was via the medium of the Holy Spirit that Souls were brought to this lower world to gain spiritual maturity and it is the Holy Spirit that takes Souls back to God when spiritual maturity is attained.
there are several Spiritual Masters working both in the inner planes and outer planes helping Souls to make this connection to the Holy Spirit. when a Master has attained spiritual realization of his oneness with God, he earns the right to say: i am the way, the truth and life and no one commeth unto the father except through me. Here he is speaking as a clear channel for the Holy spirit and not the physical person you are seeing. Souls that are fortunate to come into his presence gets linked up to the Holy Spirit.

Unfortunately many souls do not understand this and put their attention on the physical master and start worshiping him completely losing sight of what the master was trying to teach them that what he has become, that they too can also achieve it too because we are all sons and daughters of the most high God and no one is bigger or better than the other. we are all souls and are all equally loved by God.

A dream is a real experience. As Soul—the spiritual being you are as a divine spark of God—you can (and do) have hundreds of experiences going on side by side at different levels. So does everyone else.

All in all, earth is still nothing more than a spiritual school. It was set up and designed by God so that each one of you, each Soul in this world, can learn more about becoming godlike.

This is the whole purpose of why you are here: to become more godlike

The purpose of divine love is to encourage the independence and ability of another to survive and thrive spiritually. How? It is by way of God’s Light and Sound, the two elements that are the Holy Spirit, the Voice of God, the Creative Force in all the universes, the ECK.

By giving love, we become magnets of love.

The happiest people are those who give and receive love from their families and friends. Now, we're talking about the "no-strings-attached" kind of love.

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.

Some of the religious teachings believe body and Soul are one and the same. In Eckankar we believe Soul comes in and takes on the physical body as a temple to use so It can move in this physical world.

You can’t make yourself closer to God by hating someone else, whether you believe it’s righteous anger or not. The relationship between Soul—which is you—and God is one of love. And where there’s pure love, there is no room for anger of any kind.

Love is like water in that only so much can be poured into the glass. Before you can put more in, you have to let some out. If you don’t keep giving out love, more can’t come in.

People often wonder, How do I get God’s love? You get it by giving of yourself to others, in ways that you like to give.

What we are aiming for is not to avoid the roller-coaster effect of life, but to gain the middle path. This means the path of moderation, the balanced outlook, the spiritual viewpoint that no matter what happens, the sorrows of life will not bury us forever. When loved ones leave in death, we cry—but not forever. We are able to face life knowing that they will still live on in full consciousness.

We know that the divine cause, the Divine Being, has put us here to learn something. It is up to us to go out into life and find out what it is.

Truth brings divine love. The reason for war, theft, lies, and other natural traits of humans is that no religion can drive love into anyone’s heart.

When God’s love enters the heart, only then can a change for the better occur.
