"A true marriage has commitment by each person. Both realize the responsibility of that commitment."
-Harold Klemp

Because of the restrictions of business and running to make appointments, some people don’t often feel there is time to be human, to let others know they’re appreciated. Other people have an attitude that says, "I like your company. We have to do business and we might as well enjoy doing business."

People who have this attitude are openhearted. They love their work. And through this love for their work, they are reflecting the love of God.

As Soul, you are like a balloon that rises above the ground. The higher you go, the farther you can see. And the farther you can see, the better you can plan your life.

"All conditions are due to karma."
--Harold Klemp

The way to work with Divine Spirit in our daily decisions is to consider quite honestly: What would I really like to do?

One must put aside thoughts of asceticism, thinking that God loves us more if we are poor. A business decision must be made using all input that’s available. What’s good for me, my family? It must allow one to grow.

Any decision is not without setbacks, for that’s the nature of life. What sets you apart is that you give it your best effort and more, staying open to the subtle nudges of Divine Spirit.

Sometimes the Holy Spirit may work in a gentle way. It may give you just a nudge, a feeling of how to act, what to do, which dentist to go see—something right down to earth.

Not to get attached is often taken to mean "not to get involved." It actually means not to let your idea of how things should be dictate the relationship. That kind of love has strings attached. It means always trying to have your partner do what you think is right.

"Singing HU, the sacred name for God, opens the channels of healing." --Harold Klemp

There is usually somewhat of a struggle when we move into a higher state of awareness, and that is natural. The problems in life can be dreaded with fear, or they can be seen as opportunities for growth—and a challenge.

You must make up your own mind as to what you want to do. Consider all parts of your life, the financial and emotional included, and do what seems to be common sense. Then plan and work carefully.

@ ElsonMorali

Thank you so much for your response. Even though I do have a different view of things I do agree with some aspects. But we are all in search of Truth. May we find it.

You are welcome.

Where does the teaching on hell and the demons fit into your concept of reincarnation?

Thanks.

Thanks for your question. I will contribute my little quota of knowledge

Hell according to the Christian faith is a place of torment with Devil in charge where sinners will be thrown into, to burn and suffer for eternity. this definition gives no room for reincarnation as there is a finality to it and there are no second chances once you end up in hell.

From ECKANKAR point of view based on my understanding and experiences, Hell is not just a place. It is a state of consciousness. When a soul's state of consciousness is anchored on negativity like anger, lust, hatred and with no iota of love, that soul is virtually in hell no matter his or her physical or spiritual location.

Souls whose state of consciousness are imbued with negativity will naturally gravitate to places in the inner worlds that are hellish and devoid of love when they die in the physical plane. Like always attract like. The difference is that sojourn in such hellish places in the inner worlds are temporary and not permanent.

After a time , such souls are released from those places and sent back to earth to continue their schooling and correct the mistakes that got them there in the first place. That is where reincarnation comes in.

In Christian faith Demons are seen as evil spirits that work with the Devil to torment Man and lure him to Hell.

From what I know, they are what is known as elemental spirits.
In the spiritual hierarchy, they are at the bottom of the ladder below the level of man and they are involved in ensuring that forces of nature work normally.
So you have elemental spirits in charge of water, fire, plants, animals, rocks, wind, etc. For example mermaids are elemental spirits in charge of water.
These spirits are immature souls that are also on the journey of self and God-realization and will someday attain the level of humans from where their journey starts more consciously and they also go through the circle of reincarnation.

But man in his quest for materiality and power often abuses these spirits and use them to do a lot of negative things.

Another source of demon spirits are from earth bound souls. These are souls that were involved in a lot of negativity while alive on earth and on dropping the physical body in death found themselves bound to the earth environment unable to enter the next spiritual plane. They are the source of ghost phenomenon and at times they can possess another human being's body.

This condition too is not permanent and they can be helped by Spiritual Masters who can free them from this trap and take them to another spiritual plane from where they are prepared to reincarnate again and continue their schooling

So in summary, Reincarnation is an opportunity that God in It's infinite love and mercy has given all souls to enable them to go through several rounds of schooling in other for them to mature and become God-realized and eventually become co-workers with God.

Always Feel free to ask any question.
Thanks and remain blessed

As we give of ourselves, of our patience and love, to someone else who needs it more, something changes inside us. Something flows in, a flow of good feeling. A spiritual upliftment occurs both in us and in the person receiving the love.

Self-discipline is an absolute necessity if one is to have a productive spiritual life. Replace old tastes and preferences with new, better ones. But do it in the name of the Holy Spirit, with love and a sincere heart, or nothing will come of this experiment.
