The Spiritual Exercises of ECK show people how to look and listen within themselves for these qualities of Divine Spirit for upliftmemt and guidance.

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.

@ ashjay001 ,

the starting point is the spiritual exercises of ECK, the most basic being the singing of the HU as a love song to God.

why this is important as a starting point is because we do not work with belief in ECK. Experience is what is more important. I can fill the next ten pages talking about the light of God but it will not make any sense to you until you have experienced the light of God.

you can explore the Eckankar website, there you can download a lot of materials and videos that can help you out. you can also listen to a grp of ECKists singing the HU .

ours is an experiential path and experience always remains the best teacher

Healings always depend on the individual: How conscious is that Soul? —Harold Klemp The Language of Soul

@ ashjay001

your post really made me laugh .
seriously what were you expecting to see? people with fire coming out of their eyes or people with starched uniform walking solemnly so as not to step on an ant.

what you have failed to realize is that most of the people you will see at ECK centers are common people just like you. Hungry seekers of truth at the threshold trying to realize who and what they are.

if you really want truth , I suggest you stop focusing on others and start focusing on yourself .
truth is never found outside of you. it is found within you. the spiritual exercises of ECK helps to unlock the truth embedded within you.

To master your life , you must apply self-discipline and have a true desire to experience God for yourself

In time of need, help comes if you know how to open yourself—sincerely, without any preconditions or any ideas that God should act in this way and do this or that.
