Soul reincarnates on the physical plane again and again until it graduates from the school of physical life.

Devil is not a rival to God. In fact It is a servant of God and it is in charge of the negative stream of energy that sustains and balances the positive stream of energy. Without these 2 streams of energy working together the lower universes can not exist and will not be able to serve their purpose of providing schooling for soul's growth.

You can not claim to have mastered the lessons of love without being put in a situation where you have to show love to those who hate you. The devil provides opportunities for soul to assess the level of growth it has acquired. Its job is to ensure that no soul that is still impure crosses into the pure spiritual heavens.

The lessons go on day by day, moment by moment, the virtues vs the passions of the mind. What will be your response to the trials provided by life, a loving response or a negative response.. The choice is always left for soul.

Thanks so much I'll love to have such experience
Pls relate the 16 truth of IFA to eckankar
1. This is a benevolent Universe
2. You need have no fear
3. There is a single Creative Force ( God )
There is a single creative force we call the Sugmad and indeed soul has nothing to fear because It exist because of God's love for it.

4. There is no Devil
In order for souls to achieve spiritual maturity , the Sugmad created the lower universes which are worlds of duality. Good and bad , beauty and ugliness, light and darkness. In other for soul to appreciate good it has to experience the bad. The Devil represents the negative part of the lower worlds of duality. The devil indeed is the headmaster, administering trials and temptations to souls. Only souls that passes the exams set by the devil who we know as Kal, can pass into the pure spiritual heavens

.
5. It is your birthright to be joyful, successful and loved
6. Heaven is “home” and Earth “the marketplace.” We are in constant passage between the two
7. You are part of the Universe in a literal, not figurative way
It is souls birthright to inherit all that the Sugmad Is: Love, wisdom, freedom etc
Soul is a citizen of heaven and earth is a school where soul comes over numerous incarnations to Learn and to grow. The universe is the expression of God's love
and within this love we live, move and have our being. We are part of the universe and the universe is part of us.

8. Character determines outcome
and experience remodels and strengthens character.

9. Supremacy is evil
10. You must never initiate harm to another human being
11. You must never harm the Universe of which you are a part
Evil is any thought, word or action that steers soul away from God or shuts the heart of the individual from receiving and giving out God's love.
Any action that brings harm to another human being or the universe is returned to the perpetrator in equal measure.

12. There can be no discrimination
13. Diversity is the hallmark of the Oludumare’s ( God’s) creation
Every soul created by God is unique . no two souls are alike, such is the diversity of creation. Though all souls are equal in the eyes of God, none is higher or lower than the other and none is more favoured . we are all equally loved and favoured by God.


14. You select your Destiny and Guardian Orisa
15. Divination provides the road map to your Destiny
16. Balance, growth and wisdom are your goals.
Your destiny is created by your choices made in previous lifetimes. Spiritual exercises can help you to first know your destiny and secondly alter it if necessary. The ultimate goal of soul is attaining spiritual maturity which culminates in God-realization and becoming a coworker with God.

Soul is always moving forward. It is never punished. It must simply obey the Law of Karma and will eventually learn from its experiences.

From God issued forth It's word, the Holy Spirit, the creative essence of God. From the Word, issued forth all life. In It we live, move and have our being. We are fashioned out from the fabric of the ECK, The Holy Spirit. Through the avenue of the Holy Spirit, God is in touch with all life and all life is in touch with God.

Like I said earlier, the universes of God is governed by a hierarchy of lesser gods. Some of them like sitting on a throne. Some souls who encounter these lesser gods erroneously think they are the supreme God when in fact they are just gate keepers and care takers.

The supreme deity, has no form, does not sit on a throne and really does not care if you worship It or not. All it cares for is for soul to grow to full maturity and come back home. There are really no words to describe the pure spiritual planes.
Those who experience it have no human vocabulary to explain what they saw. They can only encourage you to have your own experience.

To learn soul travel and to have experiences of your past incarnations, the key is the spiritual exercises of ECK. the basic being the singing of the word HU,with love in your heart. This exercise done diligently for at least 20 minutes daily will raise your vibration and open your spiritual eyes which will enable you to have a peep into the heavenly worlds.

It is an experience worth having because it will change your life.

Why do eckist believe in reincarnation, as they say remarkable claim demands remarkable proof pls can you proof that to me and can I call myself a god or is god seen as jealous and emotional as the Jewish god is?
I can not prove the reality of Reincarnation to you, you have to prove it for yourself. i can only give you the tools to do the proving for yourself. once you have the experience, your experience becomes your authority, you do not need a book to prove spiritual truths for youself, you need only yourself. the question is are you ready to undertake the spiritual disciplines needed to undertake spiritual research? realizing spiritual truths is not for the lazy and weak minded. it is for the bold and courageous.
For me i know that reincarnation is real. but my experiences are my own authority.

Soul is not God, but is created in the image and likeness of God having all the qualities of God. when soul can realize the truth of what It is and fully expresses the divinity contained within it, It becomes God-realized and God-like.

the supreme Deity who we know as the Sugmad is not a jealous or emotional God. it qualities are Divine Love, Wisdom and Freedom. but within the universes that it created as schools for souls, there is a hierarchy of lower deities that govern these lower worlds. and part of their job is to give the impression that they are the ultimate God thereby keeping the unwary souls from advancing further than their domain.
one of them is the jewish god you depicted who governs from the astral plane. this plane is the seat of emotions and we also know it as the emotional plane hence it does not come as a surprise to us that the god is expressing emotions of jealousy and others as we know the plane It is operating from . only more advanced souls can see through the facade of this god and realize that there are still more higher planes above Its domain and continue their spiritual journey back to God.

these are spiritual truths that can be verified through soul travel.

Eckist believe that soul enters the body at or around the time of birth. Without the entrance of soul, the body could not survive.

Heaven and hell are not geographic locations. They are states of consciousness. A consciousness that is filled with negativity, hatred, anger, lust etc is already in hell. Even if you place such a person in a heavenly location , he will turn it into an abode of negativity and retrogression because that is what his consciousness is attuned to, likewise a consciousness that is filled with love, contentment, gratitude etc, is already in heaven. Heaven and hell is here and now. Where your consciousness is focused on, that is where you will gravitate to.

God is the Almighty spirit that dwells in the ocean of love and mercy, and from God issues forth its word which is the Holy Spirit which we know as the ECK. the holy spirit is the medium that teaches you everything you need to know about God.The Holy Spirit is the essence of God and can be seen as light and heard as a sound which comes in different forms. We experience this light and sound of God through the spiritual exercises of ECK . this experience fills you with divine love making you more Godlike .

We are souls created in the image and likeness of God. Soul is not the physical body but rather wears the physical body like a cloth in order to experience life on earth.
The reason we are on earth is to learn how to give and receive divine love which then enables us to become spiritually matured.
A soul that has finished its lessons and has become spiritually matured can choose to remain in the pure spiritual plane or it can decide to still come back to the lower universes to help other souls to grow. These matured souls become spiritual masters and teachers.

In life there is nothing like bad thing or good thing. What we have is freedom and responsibility. You have the freedom to live your life anyway you deem fit and of course you also have to accept total responsibility for whatever comes from your decisions. the experiences you have from your choices are always the best teacher.

Each individual needs on the spiritual path is unique and different. In other words where one individual may need the experience that comes from marrying 2 wives, it may be a deterrent to another individual.

So the key in knowing what is good for you spiritually is being linked up with the Holy Spirit which we know as ECK in ECKANKAR. The Holy Spirit which is the voice of God will guide you in all your dealings in life.

Islam as a religion has been so abused and debased by the actions of its followers.
I will keep repeating the fact that a religion will always be judged by the actions of its followers. There are no excuses. If you claim to be a religion of peace, your followers must be seen to be peaceful at all times even in the face of outright provocation. That is the test of spiritual maturity.

It is only in trials and provocation you can prove to the world who you really are.
I was a victim of these senseless killings by Moslems in the North. But I had the spiritual strength to forgive the Moslems and moved on with my life, still giving the selfless service I was giving to them and others.
I did not go about looking for a Moslems house or shop to burn in retaliation. This is the divine love we keep talking about. It is a life to live and demonstrate . it is not about killing others at whatever provocation.
I rest my case.
Politics › Re: Zamfara Islam Blasphemy Killings (Graphic Photos) by benodic:
As usual I am waiting for Moslems to match on the streets and condemn this dastardly act by their fellow Moslems in Zamfara and as usual none of them will match or speak out. Actions speaks louder than words. Your actions says everything about the religion you profess. I do not need to hear any sermons.

there is no karma incurred in raising and killing animals for food. and there is nothing wrong with eating meat.

the souls that inhabit the body of animals know their place in the evolutionary scale and fully understand that it is part of their contribution to the continuity of physical life.
the negative aspect of it is over indulgence in food which we call lust. this is what causes negative karma and brings disease to the human body. moderation is the key. take the amount needed for the survival of your physical body and don't over indulge.
