A Seed for Contemplation
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.

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.

As our self-discipline increases, we discover that life can no longer defeat us. We move tranquilly under the protection of that Presence we know as the ECK, or Divine Spirit.

The principles of the spiritual life are embodied in everything that we do. If we think they are not there, it is simply because we can’t see them or recognize them.

it is so unfortunate what is happening in the world religions today. with each claiming that it is the only way to God. i really hope that this atheist point of view will help some to have a change in their view point and dig deeper into the mystery of God beyond the narrow confines of their individual religion. you can never talk about talk less of defending what you have not experienced.

Spirit acts in a way that is for the good of the whole, sometimes bringing a healing of the emotions or the mind instead of the body, because that is in the best interests of that particular Soul’s unfoldment.

Defense against Black Magic

The forces of black magic are powerful in Africa. ECKists there ask me, How can we become strong so that no force of Kal, the negative power, can harm us?

First, do not look for trouble or anger anyone who has these powers. But if the powers of darkness are thrown against you, put your full attention on the Mahanta and sing, or chant, HU. See a shining light around you through which no evil can penetrate, and know that the Mahanta in the form of a Blue Light stands by your side.

Study what The Shariyat says about how to overcome the dark forces. It is important to understand what in your emotions has opened the door for this power to attack.

Always remember that the ECK is stronger than any force in the lower worlds. Only one who surrounds himself with Its presence, and knows that the Mahanta is with him, will be safe.

and so? who cares?
I always expect dumb behaviour from Christians
sorry to disappoint you. i am not a christian. and i still repeat what i said earlier. who cares? i said it because i know that knowing God is a personal thing and strictly between you and God. so really i don't care if God is dead to you, that is your own personal conviction and have no effect on me whatever. so i wonder why it seems a dumb behaviour to you and i still don't care anyway.

the poster has all the shades of alexleo who also issued such a challenge in Nairaland and was completely routed by atheists. it is just spiritual immaturity that will make some one to do that. i do not know what it will take people to realize that you do not need to fight for God and you do not need to prove the existence of God to others. if God is mighty as you believe It is then it should be able to fight for itself and convince people about its existence by itself.

At times Divine Spirit heals directly, at other times It leads one to the right medical doctor. Sometimes It will assist in the healing and treatment we are presently undergoing. We must inwardly turn everything over to the guidance of this Supreme Force while making every effort to find the most suitable medical help.

when people live their lives based on solely their interpretation of what is written in a book that is claimed to be solely from God and subsequently throw away their common sense what usually follows is disastrous as we are already witnessing on earth today.

Politics › Re: Arewa Youths Reject FG’s N5.8bn Compensation For Post-election Violence by benodic: 11:06am On Apr 26, 2013
i am surprised that it is the arewa youths that are making a commotion over this issue. i was there myself and i witnessed this same arewa youths coming to kill us southerners for daring to vote for Jonathan in their own land. they already warned us before the election about what they were going to do and we thought they were joking until the day we saw for ourselves what the destructive youth in the north were capable of. the people who should be complaining have no time for that. my friend who lost all his property in the carnage and who i even tried to post his pictures in Nairaland here and other southerners who lost properties in the carnage have longed ago moved on with their lives.
the resilience of southerners makes us not to wait for government before we can make anything out of our lives rather we wait on God.
i will say thank you to Jonathan for at least deeming it fit to finally realize that there were victims of that post -election mayhem who of course will still benefit from this compensation.
May God continue to preserve us all.

Spiritual Strength in Hard Times

Through the hard times and the happy times, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, you need only place your attention on the Mahanta to know that the Master is with you. This spiritual exercise of putting your attention on the Mahanta will help you develop a surety of strength as you become Higher Initiates and eventually ECK Masters. You will have what you need to go anywhere in life, anywhere on earth, and anywhere in the planes of God.

Then sing HU, a special name for God. When you sing HU, you agree to let Divine Spirit do what is best for you. Singing HU does not guarantee a healing, but it does arrange for the conditions that are best for spiritual unfoldment.

Usually the seeker is not aware of truth within arm’s reach, because his limited vision can capture only the hard realities caught within it. There is nothing wrong with this. There is always another step to truth.

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.

Paying attention to foods can help you lead a better spiritual life. People ask me, "What is good food?" There is no good food or bad food for everyone. It depends upon the individual, upon his particular health condition. Who can best tell what’s right for you? You can, of course.

A Way to Build Self-Confidence

If you should have your real strength of character marred by a lack of self-confidence, use this technique to build yourself up again.

First find the spots in your aura or personal atmosphere that are self-conscious, shy, timid, or overly sensitive. These tend to attract people who impose upon your weakness. With a mental command, ask those people to move out of your way. Mentally demand respectful attention.

Next build up the opposite qualities of mind and character to replace these self-conscious qualities. Fill yourself with positive courage so that the positive force you generate can actually be felt when you pass through a room.

Adopt the mental attitude and personal atmosphere of a person with great confidence. Always be direct and positive in your approach to all things. Put all your spiritual force behind your smile, your replies, and your thoughts.
